That level of detail is way too much nuance to be relevant now that the narrative has gelled.
A segment of the right/populist base has decided that any negative claim about any of the COVID vaccines is presumptively true. There are only two politically relevant questions left. 1) What portion of the base have decided that the “death jabs” are “literally Hitler” and 2) How do they rank this issue against other pressing concerns of, say, the economy, Biden’s proxy war against Russia, and encroaching CCP hegemony on the world stage.
OK, there’s one more factor: to what extent will Trump be let off of the hook for Operation Warp Speed, and will he be forced to disown it publicly to remain the leader of the populist movement that he galvanized in 2016?
“A segment of the right/populist base has decided that any negative claim about any of the COVID vaccines is presumptively true.”
That sums it up accurately.
I was listening to Todd Herman filling in for Travis and Sexton and he was buying into the fear mongering. Presenting the idea that the mRNA vaccines cause myocarditis/pericarditis and are killing people.
A Canadian study ( https://tinyurl.com/4fwddacj ) published in November 2022 based on 10 million doses did indeed find a higher than expected incidence of myocarditis reported; 1.37 incidents per 100,000 doses, versus a rate of only 0.39 per 100,000 in unvaccinated individuals.
Does this validate the belief that mRNA vaccines are dangerous and likely killing people via myocarditis? What none of these people seem to know is that the smallpox vaccine reports myocarditis/pericarditis over 10% of the time. Instead of 1.37 per 100,000 that’s 1,000 cases of myocarditis per 100,000 doses. I don’t know if everyone still gets the smallpox “jab of death” but Boomers all did and if myocarditis was killing us off I didn’t hear about it.
