Ok. So we have gone totally off topic.
Appreciate the news articles ( especially the Onion...although I prefer The Babvlon Bee). Although not one US based MSM news source.
And I'm sure you can find one if you comb google.
As someone who reads news headlines across multiple forms daily ( I read an old fashioned print newspaper, as well as multiple MSM news sources) - I am well aware of what I am being fed. You can dig and find some gotcha sources, but there is a narrative being pushed.
In my business, I deal with pesticides and cleaning agents. Pesticides are one of the most regulated industries out there. You can get sued if you tell someone that a product is "safe". We are not allowed to use the word safe in our industry - even though it is rigorously tested for years before made available for use. Yet we can throw the word "safe" on a vax to the point of mandates when we do not have a long enough of a test period.
Cleaning chemicals on the other hand are very unregulated. I would put money down on the fact that more people have had negative effects from their cleaning agents that we use without a second thought than from pesticides of which is so regulated. We call cleaning being safe.
When you think of "cleaning" that is a positive thing. Pesticide is a reminder of death.
So calling the vax safe should be as much of a crime as calling a pesticide safe. ( Fun fact: a lot of the pesticides are manufactured by the same people who bring you medicine... All of the experiments that don't heal can be altered to kill those buggers!)
And here is a more direct point that was ignored the last time I brought this up:
My child had severe reflux as a baby. He was given Zantac of which every doctor we spoke to told us that it is the safest medication out there - it is given infants - even newborns- without hesitation. And if everyone agrees that it can be given to newborns, it is pretty safe.
He took it for a few years.
This child has a nut allergy.
A few years ago a study came out that children who took Zantac as a baby had a very high percentage for having allergies - especially nut allergies.
Would I have given it to him knowing the risk of allergy? Possibly. He was in a lot of pain. I would take the chances on the allergy and it is something people have to live with.
Now it is off the market due to links to the other big "C" disease. Knowing this? Most likely not.
So don't call something safe when the risks are unknown. You should be able to weigh all factors - your personal risks (current protection level, age, health, risk of exposure, risk of serious illness, etc...).
I am not anti-vax, and I encouraged my parents who are in their 60's to take it.
I am recovered and have not taken it. I view that as a choice that you may not agree with - but is nonetheless far from reckless, and within the realm of "science".
I am against the mandate. I am very much against forcing my teenagers to take it. Even more afraid to have young children take it (we know where things are heading). I do believe that there will be some form of ramification from it. It is still a powerful drug. Only time will tell.
