I suggest reading the linked article.
The EUA is interesting reading.
BUT, the most interesting part was the author’s attempt to assess why the information he easily found on the Internet had been so completely ignored. It was thought provoking, and could explain at least part of what has gone wrong in our country.

Thought exercise:
Lets say that you got the polio vaccine, 3 months later the polio booster, and then 3 months later another booster.... and you STILL get polio.
Would you start asking questions then?
“Hmm, that’s funny I thought, there was nothing about the ability to do what government officials and media talking heads were clearly suggesting they would do: stop people from getting infected and passing on the virus.”
What officials were those? Trump’s Operation Warp Speed got the EUA so quickly by looking for only two things:
*adverse effects
*reduction in severe disease
It showed a dramatic decrease in the latter and no increase in the former. We could have delayed several months looking at other results, but these were the only two that really mattered.
What would you have done differently?
I read and printed the cfr that governs euas. It is clear they are to be used in response to a bioweapon or credible threat thereof. But nobody cared because trump was running this show.
Our side didn’t care because they would follow trump antwhere.. their side didn’t care because they won. It was the perfect time to implement more power over lives.
Scores of healthcare workers retired rather than get the vax. This along with Obamacare gave them more control over our healthcare.
With our side cheering it on all the way.
Once you kneel, you will never rise again.
This guy uses a lot of phrases like “establishing a personal hermeneutic”. Who’s got time for that? ;-)
