Vaccines & the False Divide: No, it is not just about being “Pro-Science” or “Anti-Vax.”
Vanity

Posted on 05/06/2021 3:06:54 PM PDT by CondoleezzaProtege

The decision to get a Covid vaccine is not “Republican” nor “Democrat.” And more importantly the divide is not along “Pro-Science” or “Anti-Vax.”

There are plenty of individuals who have no problem getting flu shots or wearing masks, but are holding off on getting a Covid shot. There are parents who may get the Covid shot for themselves, but don’t want it for their children. Those who have had Covid already, may want to be vaccinated, but with an adjusted dose of antibodies, etc...

Most patients, before getting a prescription or even an OTC med like Tylenol, are given proper warning against contraindications, pre-existing conditions to be mindful of before starting a regimen...Or on a positive note: the additional benefits of the drug that might go beyond its main intent... (Example: Aspirin can treat pain AND help prevent heart attacks.)

Knowing that even the most extreme of adverse reactions are possible even with common drugs, does not preclude the vast majority of people from still taking them— but at least they are informed! So that they can make a decision based in their own risk/benefit analysis. And not FORCED into a corner one way or the other.

By contrast with these Covid shots, the media and medical establishment act more concerned with denying ANY link to contraindications, than to properly inform the public of the full scope of possibilities as evidence emerges in real time. And by relegating even the slightest concern to “anti vax” conspiracy, they remove themselves from any form of accountability in the process. To treat you accordingly, to warn you, to prepare for more people with similar outcomes. And most importantly: to improve the vaccines themselves!

And that is a problem. Especially if you or a loved one find yourself in that 5-10% who have more than a sore arm to contend with following your shot. Or end up with a bad case of Covid itself anyway.

That’s the worst part of it all: this underlying presumption that vaccines are the end all, be all in our arsenal to defeat Covid. Where does that leave the breakthrough cases? Why limit the treatment options?

i’m not an anti-vaxxer...

i’m a nonbeliever...

science on this situation got tossed out the window when our government opened the border, invited, and continues to distribute thousands of “disease carrying invaders” across our country during a “global pandemic”...

In the interview with Dr McCullough, he gives the name of the group (tech, media, etc) that is working to suppress any information about the adverse effects of these shots.

You can throw in there a few other “side issues”, e.g. even before the vaccines came out they were talking about how we may need booster shots. Then a couple weeks ago both Pfizer and Moderna said “you will need a 3rd shot in 6 months and another shot every year thereafter”.

So what’s up with that? Are these vaccines just weak brew? Is it really about “fighting variants”? Or is it just a case of biotech CEOs behaving like Big Tobacco? “Smoking relaxes you. There is no proof it causes cancer. Buy more”.

I agree. We also should think about whether we want to be encouraging, through our cooperation, the likely production of even more medical products relying on aborted tissue. I can just hear it now - “You didn’t mind taking the Covid-19 shot in 2021 when you knew its development was dependent on the use aborted human tissue, so what is your problem with our newest product now?”

“…Because again, no vax is 100% effective 100% of the time….”
***************************************************************
True, but the two mRNA vaccines are 100% effective 90% of the time. And the lack of a group getting the vaccine (i.e, they received the placebo) is 0% effective 100% of the time. Both of those figures are derived from comparisons of COVID-19 diseases occurring in trial participants receiving actual vaccines against participants receiving placebos in the same large scale DOUBLE-BLINDED trials.

Do you comprehend and accept those figures? They are FACTUAL.

The media coverage of the virus and vaccine is indeed biased garbage and hurts our efforts to act responsibly.
For example, the media made a big issue last week or so of models that predicted a boom in cases this month... didn’t happen.

(I warn, right off, that the last leg in the reported cases should probably be disregarded because of lag in reporting!)

Trying to label people as anti-vaxxer because they object to an experimental vaccine is disingenuous.

They vaccine lobby is working to force us to live like the Chinese. No more freedom. No more informed consent. Violations once adamantly refuted by the Nuremburg Code are being held up as virtuous.

SOmeone I don't follow who a podcast asked the question "Should the young be vaccinated?" and quoted VAERS data. The MSM locked arms and shouted down his reputation.

Vaccine hounds demanding that those who make their own medical decisions should be 'shunned.'

Fauci is compromised as is the CDC, but somehow it's unpatriotic not to obey them? The CDC's biggest donor is Bill Gates, but how dare we say 'no' to the organization Bill Gates funds?

That is a fair point, but it’s also true that the “anti-vax” crowd has gone all-in with the ‘Rona vaccines.

That makes it almost impossible to have a productive discussion about these particular shots. There are legitimate questions that can, and should be asked, and the garbage media refuse to give those questions a fair airing.

What I really don’t understand is the recent divide on FR between the pro vax and vaccine sceptics regarding therapeutics. If one is pro-vax, one must for some reason be anti-therapeutic, and vice-verse. To me that just seems insane: we need both. And not everyone will choose to get the jab, and it’s critical that we retain the individual’s right in that regard.

You nailed it. Flip Flop Fauci is largely responsible for the distrust.

I think the need for boosters is based on both the mutation rate and the general lack of long term human human immunity to coronaviruses as seen in various cold viruses.

Plus they don’t know what they don’t know. This coupled with the bureaucratic risk aversion is how we’ve ended up with these stupidly excessive “abundance of caution” masks and lockdowns.

I’ve gotten quite sanguine with the doom Karens. Fauci has pretty much been wrong about everything since the 80’s. He’s unlikely to start being correct now.

Agreed on Fauci and the doom Karens.

As for the boosters, I just don’t know. I have some educated guesses. Maybe because of mutations, but then they really should be a little more upfront about it instead of letting drug company CEOs disclose it. I also suspect the possibility that because mRNA vaccines have been a 15 year disaster, that whatever concoction they have come up with is incredibly weak stuff in order to not kill we humans the way they killed rats, rabbits and chimps in all the previous iterations - and hence the need for 2 shots instead of just one. But just guesses. I really don’t know, and don’t like that they don’t tell us.

“ IMHO, the #1 problem among “hesitant” people is not that they are “anti-
vax” it’s just that they don’t trust anyone in positions of power anymore. “
...

“ The “pro-vax” political/media/medical establishment crowd is reading
the tea leaves all wrong. “

“ It’s not about being anti-vax, it’s not about Trump, it’s not about
availability or access (though that may be a small part of it). It’s that,
“meh, you guys lie and cheat and flip-flop and waffle and send mixed
messages so much that it’s impossible trust you. “

“You used Covid as a political weapon, you withdrew availability of
potential treatments, and then you rushed and jammed a couple of new
vaccines out there while stifling most other research including other
vaccines. You don’t give us honest answers to legitimate questions about
anything at all. “

“You are crazy deranged hateful people who show little respect to others.
I think I’ll wait until the “science is settled” or just wait for the damn thing
to go away”. “

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Excellent Post! May some of the enemy combatant “FReepers”
(in name only!) posting all over this topic, choke on it!

People attempting to restrict employment and other basics to the experimentally vaccinated should expect to have Nuremberg trials
in their future, at the very least.

These crimes against humanity are not acceptable either on this planet
or in this country.

They think they’ve managed a win, and now there is no horror they are
unwilling to unleash. (Except for the Truth.)

War, not quite as your fathers knew it. Who knew narrative control could
be just as deadly?

mRNA vaccines were a disaster under Fauci, because he is an incompetent scientist and researcher. For the past 15 years, he’s been picking and choosing what to fund and he sucks at it.

To Trumps everlasting credit, he cut that munchkin out of the decision loop and we now have working vaccines.
