— “So truly, we cannot know; but we can do everything in our powers personally to overthrow the suppression of accurate, detailed information about vaccine outcomes in all age groups.”
A sensible and measured remark.
Outrageous, factually unsupportable utterances by Fauci, Bidet, et al drive me up a wall. I have lost count of the times I fired up Excel or my HP-12c or my phone calculator to validate some numeric claim or quote, and come up rejecting the object of my numerical assault. My math skills are better since Jan 2020, but my patience for sensationalism is non-existent.
Now, there is always a place for speculation. Of course, it's possible this lot of messenger RNA shots can cause nasty side-effects down the road.... as I posted elsewhere, since 2000 about 59% of vaccine clinical trials failed, with a median length of nine years. But speculation couched as "science" is wretched, regardless if it supports my team.
Many of us detest Dubya nowadays. But in 2004, you risked getting zotted if you yellow carded him. And, to be fair, Lurch was an awful alternative. So many made a political decision to look the other way at Dubya's failures and re-elect him. And I guess that was ok.
But nowadays...well...
I agree, while there are horrible people cheering for the unvaccinated to die, there are some ghouls who smile when someone who got the shots passes away. Many of us have friends and family who've had these shots, many of whom did it out of fear or to defend their livelihood. I don't want those who took the shots - including JimRob - to suffer. Taking these shots should be a voluntary decision, not with the business end of an OSHA mandate or a pink slip staring you in the face.
I think anti-vaxx sensationalism is as wrong as looking the other way at Dubya's failures in 2004. Your mileage may vary.
