It seems exceedingly one sided that your values, your perspective, and what you want, is somehow of more value than what those who disagree with you want. — Book273
So I can do whatever I want, whenever I want, as long as I check with you first, and you say it's ok — Book273
everyone not you is somehow less than you — Book273
Do the common complaints about vaccine testing, where it concerns "killed" viruses or replicated viral proteine, apply to mRNA vaccines though? Are, based on how they work, certain worries about safety still relevant here? — Benkei
40 000 seems like a lot of people, but if there are lot's of weird 1 in 1000 consequences it's far from sufficient quantity to find these things, even if there are symptoms (doctors will not be able to make a causal inference to the vaccine, and many 1 in 1000 events will simply not appear anyways, just from statistics, not to mention the populations not even represented, or not in any statistically significant way, within the 40 000). — boethius
If my math is correct, 1 in 1000 over 40,000 results in 40 cases. — Metaphysician Undercover
40 cases in 40 000 that aren't clear what they are is a weak signal. You can only find what you're looking for. Obviously we're looking for people dying right away, so 40 people dying right away would be a strong signal and we're looking for that. — boethius
When looking for side effects in a drug trial, they are looking for "weird" consequences, they are not expecting people to be dying. I think that by the time they are using 40,000 people they are pretty sure that people are not going to be dying. — Metaphysician Undercover
It was just to contrast signal strength. A person dying is a strong signal. — boethius
Literally everyone who gets the vaccine could get cancer and we'd have no way of knowing at this point. — boethius
mRNA is a tricky technology. Several major pharmaceutical companies have tried and abandoned the idea, struggling to get mRNA into cells without triggering nasty side effects.
why are you wearing a mask when you go out in public merely because it is mandated, when, as everybody can see, there is no enforcement of these mandates? — Todd Martin
Mrna produces viral "spikes" to identify the "other". The body's immune system attacks the "other", produced in the body, which is tah-dah! an injected autoimmune disease. The body, no longer able to effectively identify "other" elects to focus on sperm and ova as an "other" as well as the virus. Poof! sterile population and immune to Covid. Version 2. — Book273
Your ideas savor too much of extremity without proportion, destructive of meaning and of freedom. — tim wood
I'm getting vaccinated because I have a functioning brain. — Baden
S.I.R.S: Systemic Inflammatory Response Syndrome. For those who don't know. Look it up, apply it globally, and good luck. — Book273
There are millions of healthy people wearing masks, not because they are sick and risk infecting someone, but because they are ignorant of whether they are sick or not. Ignorance, not illness. Conformity, not heroism. — NOS4A2
