You both hit the nail on the head.
Guys like Kirsch need to be read warily. He can easily fool people and often does.
The same with kooks who claim SARS-CoV-2 has not been “isolated”, or people of any stripe who see green colors at narrative pushing sites like c19ivm.org and conclude Ivermectin MUST be effective without reading studies in detail. Or make wild claims that spoons stick to COVID-19 injection sites (looking at you Sherri Tenpenny, you pathetic quack).
This does not mean that there are not problems with COVID-19 vaccinations. But some of the things that occurred such as vaccinations of children, mandatory vaccinations, etc were policy decisions made in part due to normative science having a foothold in public health, and also policy makers that have few consequences for poor decision making or policy advocacy (looking at you Anthony Fauci).
That there is one of my personal favorites. Cracks me up every time I see it.
Generally, the folks repeating that particular chestnut also get extra shouty if even mild disagreement is raised. Reminds me of when I would visit elderly relatives at the assisted living facility. Lunch could be insane...a room full of folks with senile agitation, and all of them hard of hearing. Good times, good times.
“This does not mean that there are not problems with COVID-19 vaccinations.”
Real problems will get ignored because after years of non-stop kook koolaid people will think it’s just more of the same. I can see the Daily Expose nuts saying “No! We aren’t making this one up this time! Really! This time it’s real!”
The paper cited is not a, “peer reviewed,” scientific research paper as it is labled. Please read the original document. Who ever posted the has Bern scammed by Kirsch.
