I agree that we need facts. But, do you see why people are cynical, when it sounds like pharmaceutical companies and regulators seem to go out of their way to ignore potential problems?

It's not speculation to say there is a long term track record of pharmaceutical companies willfully, or negligently hiding deaths caused by their products.

An example, would be how pharmaceutical companies deliberately covered up the risk of suicide for children taking antidepressants.

Go back to Thalidomide, which was approved in Europe. The only reason it wasn't approved in the U.S. was because of one woman, Frances Kelsey, at the FDA, who demanded more proof of safety.

Can you see why people are cynical about these things?

I agree and am one of those cynical people.

And pharmaceutical companies have a poor track record of public confidence.

But then why do critics go off on paths that lead to nowhere?

We get whack job critics that claim COVID-19 vaccinations cause magnetism, or 5G interference, or that there are not isolated samples of SARS-CoV-2, or that the government of Japan approved Ivermectin for use, etc.

Instead of sticking to what is known, people post articles here that care not one whit about those that have died due to a heart attack, etc - as they are too busy suggesting or outright claiming it's due to a COVID-19 vaccination. Or that mock those that have been vaccinated. Thankfully, it's a small group of 50-75 FReepers that post those kinds of comments.
