Too many people are dying and it’s starting to worry the demographers

As for your neighbor, the likelihood of a causal connection seems remote. Back when I was in the law business, there was a terrible van accident that my office took, and one of the 17-year-olds, during the course of his hospitalization, was diagnosed with leukemia. But there was absolutely no possibility that it was caused by the accident. Being diagnosed with lung cancer so advanced that she died two months later means that she had it before he was jabbed.

Your ex-addict relative being found dead after getting jabbed is also likely merely fortuitous, but impossible to determine. Death is not a diagnosis. Rush Limbaugh died of lung cancer and probably was jabbed beforehand. But one had nothing to do with the other. He got lung cancer through smoking fancy cigars for a few decades.

Each death is a tragic anecdote that has to be examined individually.

I’ve been taking vaccines of various sorts since I was born. And there has been an anti-vaccine cult around since the 17th Century, when the wife of the British ambassador to Turkey discovered the practice of inoculation in its then-primitive form, and threatened an entire medical industry of treating small-pox sufferers. My first grandson’s grandparents, who have his mother in their thrall, are fanatical anti-vaxxers, and are armed with all sorts of fake science “proving” that vaccines cause autism, etc.

I don’t fault you for being skeptical of a new technology being applied to this pandemic’s apparent cure. And there may be problems with it, based on genetic or other variables that have yet to be accounted for. But look for real scientific analysis, not fake science applied to anecdotes like those you cite.

Joseph Stolen and Cackles the Hooker, during the campaign were blindly skeptical of anything coming from the Trump Administration. Now they are blindly pushing it to the point of mass coercion. They eat, drink, breath, sleep and sh!t politicized fake science, and disregard the real scientists whenever it suits them, and fakebook et al. are willing accomplices.

The benefits of these MRNA vaccines are objectively discernible in the reduction in cases, hospitalizations, and deaths. The down side, however, is also objectively discernible and because it’s been so utterly politicized by a corrupt administration, nobody has as of yet bothered to quantify and qualify this repeating phenomenon. The Stolen cabal insults vaccine skeptics and calls them ignorant. The skeptics blow the anecdotal evidence out of proportion and use their skepticism as a badge of honor. A legitimate, scientific examination of the evidence without political considerations has yet to be published. And it will have to be funded by somebody who has no axe to grind.
