Of course not in the same manner that nobody can prove that anyone died of covid (as opposed to with). The vaers deaths and reactions are as likely to be caused by the agent as covid caused any of those 500k deaths. No reason to dismiss these likely vaccine caused deaths and severe side effects with a straw man disclaimer. Nobody is doing a post hum autopsy on any of the presumed covid 19 deaths, they are just alleged.

Partly true. With covid they will be able to record the cause of death based on if someone had severe covid symptoms and died from ARDS or pneumonia or multi-organ failure associated with covid condition.

On the other hand VAERS will get records of people that died of heart disease or literally any ailment within a week or something of receiving the vaccine. People die of other causes on a regular basis so it is not "as likely" to be caused by the vac...

But they aren't. With covid everyone dying with covid or even without but presumed (e.g. flu/cold/bronchitis/pneumoniae) will be recorded as covid death. Especially with the incentives of doing so. The likelihood should be around equal. Everyone who wants to make a seriously informed decision has to take the numbers and crunch them to see on which side they fall. Also stocking and taking therapeutics proven mostly safe over decades vs an experimental vaccine is a no-brainer. But to each their own.

If you don’t get vaccinated you will not be able to leave the USA for years

I'm cool with that.

If two years from now there have been no long term effects AND it has proven to be safe and effective And the FDA has approved it I will consider taking it or forging a vaccine passport to travel (Mexico City was our next planned trip that had to be postponed for the "pandemic")

But it's not about that.

The latest cold (Corona virus) has been used to institute draconian rules (not laws) that restrict our enumerated rights. Half of the argument is being censored and the general public is told that Fauci is the leading expert on viruses when in reality he is a pencil pushing octogenarian that should have resigned after he fucked up the response to AIDS 40 years ago.

The election was stolen.

The first amendment was suspended.

Hundreds of thousands of small businesses and millions of people have lost their jobs with no prospects but corporate servitude or the dole.

The rich are richer. At least I am, and I am only rich because I am free and have resources. While my accounts have surged the number of people living hand to mouth has surged along with it. By plan? Will we truly soon own nothing and be happy? Or else?

Get the jab or you can't travel.

Paranoid rant over.

mell says

Also what bothers me is the bot/troll/disinformation smear. Nobody here has ever said covid is a hoax or not real. I'm fine with the "vaccine"/agent as a personal choice/option. Medicine and science in general have always been evolving. Only with the lefts recent clampdown on free speech have MDs now been harassed, fired and barred as well as regular folks persecuted for engaging in healthy scientific debates around this still fairly new virus. Yet the left and government acted and coerced as if they had all the answers when they had none. When did somebody disagreeing become a Russian troll or bot?!

Seriously, what else do we need to know? This fact alone tells US what WE need to know.

There. Is. An. Agenda

The risk is autoimmune diseases, since they have shown up in MRNA vaccines in animal models.

I don't see why you are so eager to be derisive with people who are reasonably suspicious.

People that are suspicious of a savior, are people but people that just blindly trusts a savior is either religious or a slave of their government. I don't see why you're so eager to trust. It's confusing to me when people act derisively toward people whose suspicious nature has often proven to be correct.

Like this particular example.

It's a defense mechanism because they see it as attacking their intelligence and lack of free thinking. They don't want to feel stupid for being a sheep and not thinking for themselves, and they've already invested in their decision by getting the jab. It's human nature.

It's not often I run into somebody I genuinely can't tell if they are just being sarcastic all the time, of if they genuinely believe their statements.

"autoimmune disease from MRNA"

If the experimental biologic agent caused autoimmune disease it would have to trigger the body into creating antibodies that would recognize the bodies cells as pathogens...

Oh wait, isn't that how MRNA works?

ThreeBays says

Nothing wrong with being suspicious and being informed. It would be worth being more critical of some of the information sources like where the "autoimmune disease from MRNA" originated.

Perhaps that isn't proven, or is a complete lie, or is misinformation.

My alarm about the mRNA and DNA vaccines is 1) they aren't approved by the FDA, and 2) none of these "vaccinations" seem to have any real positive effect - none of them claim to give you immunity from the disease, only reduced reactions when sick 3) ALL of the vaccines are considered "experimental" and have not go through double blind testing yet.

I really don't see the point of this "vaccination" and it's not been properly tested for safety, but all things used on humans ARE tested - in this case, by humans. The vaccinated are the test subjects. I have no seen the result of the test yet.

I've been vaccinated for polio, and you know how concerned I'd be if I were around a polio patient that is CURRENTLY sick? I wouldn't be. I'm vaccinated. I know that vaccine actually works, because it nearly eradicated polio. Most outbreaks of polio today happen when children are vaccinated with a LIVE (but attenuated virus) and unvaccinated people around them get polio as they do virus shedding.

I haven't seen the US government act on behalf of the interests of US citizens in ages either. I have serious doubts as to this being a positive for the population.

ThreeBays says

"There's no immunity! It doesn't prevent spread!".

If this were not true, why do I need to get jabbed to protect you?

ThreeBays says

I think it's true - you don't need it to protect me (vaccinated person), only for yourself and for reducing community spread.

But eventually if everyone either gets infected or vaccinated, there's no point to reducing community spread which has already happened. If there are high risk people who haven't been infected or vaccinated, then that's on them.

ThreeBays says

only for yourself

75% of the country is totally fine if they get Covid. The 25% that get it bad barely even notice. You're vaccinating for something you might never get. Many people already got it and will have stronger resistance/reaction to it now if they get it again. The flu magically disappeared. There's too many holes in overall argument to get vaccines with a non-FDA approved drug. Which approves many drugs that kill people and damage major organs. So that's not even the gold standard.

The goal posts are out of the stadium at this point. We're relying on a guy that didn't understand AIDS. That's our expert. You don't need a mask. The list is endless on his gaffs with this and other things. He regurgitates the exact same script over and over that he was given. When challenged he gets all pissy. A confident doctor just answers because they know and not get mad.

Just because you have a job, doesn't mean you're the most qualified for it. I'm sure all of us have experienced this. I'm not taking a god damn thing "suggested" by that fucker.

ThreeBays says

your community will continue to live with stress and restrictions

Do you even understand that outside your little Bay Area enclave, most of the USA was pretty much normal. My in laws in Kansas had to mask in Walmart and a few other stores, but other than that, life continued as normal THE WHOLE FREAKING PANDEMIC! When will you realize that restrictions are NOT the result of the virus and are instead the result of short-sighted and non-science thinking by myopic bureaucracy?
We will have restrictions FOREVER for whatever reason if you continue to let them do it.

It’s really as simple as that.

ThreeBays says

I think it's true - you don't need it to protect me (vaccinated person), only for yourself and for reducing community spread.

So, you think it's true.

OK

Shaman says

Do you even understand that outside your little Bay Area enclave, most of the USA was pretty much normal.

Yeah, that's why I beat this topic up so much. I do think you guys on the West Coast have it the worst. Big, liberal cities are the worst place to be right now. Even the close suburbs and cities.

Having been through a bunch of airports since this started, it's staggering the level of brainwash going on. People wearing face shields with two masks on? I'm about 60 miles West of Madison and State (Chicago) and the closer I get to the city the dumber people are. I'll take my IL rednecks over these white collar morons that think a mask is going to save them from a virus that statistically can't kill them (for the most part). And also want to be test dummies for something they don't even understand, a "vaccine."

ThreeBays says

Well, two not awesome things will happen with ongoing community spread: your community will continue to live with stress and restrictions, and the virus will get more chances to mutate and re-emerge among the previously infected/vaccinated.

I believe the variant story is overblown and meant to scare us into submission. Science that I've read is that it mutates but only very slightly so that natural immunity still defends against it, and general they mutate and become weaker over time. I'll trust my natural immunity any day over a one-dimensional vaccine that's in its experimental phase.

ThreeBays says

Why is Florida #1 for new cases now? Why does Miami-Dade county have 10 times more new cases per capita than Santa Clara? hmmm...

Cases are meaningless as the vast majority, almost everyone lives. I also contend that the flu basically disappearing is rather strange. I don't think that can really be argued. If there was concrete evidence that the flu could be stopped by mask wearing, we'd have done it. The "science" has been amazingly wrong the whole way with covid.

You have a bit too much faith in our government. Look at NASA versus Musk. The guy is flipping landing reusable space craft and launching shuttles more than most space exploring nations COMBINED. There are plenty of doctors saying covid is a bunch of fuckery. Just because Fauci or Birx are hired by government, does not remotely mean they're the best or even competent.

My wife works exclusively with getting government contracts. I know many of her peers in government very well. We're talking generally engineers for infrastructure. They're not that bright. 9 out 10 times it's private sector contractors doing the work. They're just their to "approve" it because they got a piece of paper and knew someone in government. Fauci is friends with someone high up and should not be trusted. Sorry. Don't care what title or degree he got.

WookieMan says

Agree. More and more people are realizing that our government is incompetent and often feeds us BS. To not question their motives or incompetency is lunacy.

Fauxci = quacker who has no idea about respiratory viruses.
Variants = quackery - that's what T-cell immunity is for. Antibodies are not very significant with viral infections as compared to T/B cell immunity which does most of the heavy lifting.

asymptomatic spread = quackery - there is no significant spread without symptoms, the sick should stay at home. Done.

I talk out my ass on these threads as I know very little biology or scientific stuff. At some point though data and logic must prevail and not just blind faith in government employees at a podium or desk.

I diagnosed my own gall bladder going bad with my mom at 20 from a big book she had on ailments/symptoms prior to WebMD. Got two opinions from dumb ass doctors. Have a full ass gall bladder attack (stone) and let me know how it feels and the reaction afterwards. I was shitting ghosts for weeks before we figured it out. Liver biopsy came back healthy, but the "doctors/scientist" fucked up for weeks.

No industry or field is perfect. With health issues is amazingly easy to misdiagnose or not diagnose at all which was my case. So I diagnosed myself and was in surgery a week later. Could have prevented a lot of pain. It sucked. And many of our docs come from prestigious universities like Northwestern and University of Chicago.

ThreeBays says

If you do your own research then that's the best - but when it comes to getting someone else's opinion, it'd be silly to distrust doctors and at the same time to trust some random a-hole that either knows little about what they're talking about or worse they're actually trying to cause harm.

Why? Doctors are just fed how to treat symptoms with pills, rather than diet and exercise?

My good friend is an MD. The guy is on 5 medications at 37 years old. UNREAL!! He believes in medicine - including the one he had to quit taking due to cancerous side effects.

Natural doctors are generally better, but they can get supplement happy.

The most "honest" MD/medical people I've come to trust are those who have overcome serious medical conditions (because big pharma failed them), and they got off all meds and adopted a different lifestyle.

I used to struggle with inflammation and neck pain. Docs wanted me all drugged up. I went on an anti-inflammatory diet and water fast every 6 weeks and no longer have issues.

Keep the vax. It's unproven and sketchy. To say anything otherwise is dishonest.

Yeadon reports that the experimental biological agent is riskier than the disease for people who are not ill or elderly. That is what an unbiased perspective looks like.

ThreeBays says

Even Dr. Seuss? How about Mengele? Do you really think Dr. in front of a name gives a person legitimacy?

Not all doctors believe you should get an experimental biologic agent for a cold that is harmless for most people. Some doctors even think that the unapproved, still in testing, experimental biologic agent is actually harmful.

But if you are sick, obese, or have some other comorbidity, you are at risk and you might want to take your chances on the jab or just self quarantine and try to get heathy.

What are your comorbidities?

LA county only has 53% vaccination rate and the Wuhan has been CONQUERED!!!

HERD IMMUNITY MOTHER FUCKERS WE MADE IT!!!

we can now throw our masks away and get back to normal life

How about next year we just skip the lockdowns, let pussies and the vulnerable take the jab or self quarantine.

Let the rest of us exercise our right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.

I bet people are starting to die of things like heart attack and pneumonia in Hollywood again.

His linkedin: April 2021. I now seek opportunities to relocate to the USA & to continue opposing inappropriate policy responses to covid19.

I think he could be the chief medical entertainer on Fox News.

Nice attempt at poisoning the well. A reasonable explanation for this is that he is now essentially a refugee seeking asylum in a place where he feels less likely to be persecuted by his own government. My guess is he would seek to relocate to Texas, or Florida where people will stand up against unnecessary government overreach like digital passports and quarantines of healthy people.

ThreeBays says

As far as 2, they did not claim after initial trials (since they did not measure that) but multiple studies from US, UK, and Israel, have now shown very strong immunity and reduction in spread with the mRNA vaccines, so not only do they protect from severe symptoms but they also prevent infection in most.

The United States, Israel, and the UK claimed they had solid evidence that Saddam Hussein had a weapons of mass destruction program in Iraq and we couldn't wait for the final proof to come in the form of a mushroom cloud.

They don't have any credibility with me. I don't know why they do with you. Hardly the last lie they told. Russian Collusion, the Skripal Novichok case? Assad gassing his own people? Qaddafi causing a humanitarian crisis?

I've explained why unvaccinated people and even unvaccinated people who are ill are NOT THREATS to vaccinated people, PROVIDED the vaccine works. So, why is there this continued push to get everybody into a fucking roster to track their movements to supposedly "slow the spread" or to "flatten the curve"?

I am so tired of talking to the naive. If you think there's nothing suspicious about what is going on, FINE, but don't be begging people who know better to jump into yet another gulag that has been created, utterly artificially. You are the sheep of George Orwell's 1984 and I'm the horse. Quit trying to send me to a slaughterhouse.

ThreeBays says

When the facts are like "they're still collecting data on immunity and spread, and being cautious" and it gets turned by some super biased source into "There's no immunity! It doesn't prevent spread!"... there should be little doubt of who is misleading you.

I would say it's the group that told me Russian Collusion is what got Donald Trump elected 4 years ago, and the same people doing everything they can to prevent audits in the "most secure election ever" in which a senile, hair sniffing, corrupt, pervert is the most popular presidential candidate in all of US history.

It's the same fucking people that have mislead IDIOTS before. I am very tired of people saying "well trust the people that have viciously lied to you for the last 2 decades! They're telling the truth THIS time". I am so tired of being gaslit. You can believe this garbage, but don't demand I do.

That's an important point even the "naive" may comprehend. The flu vaccine has been out forever and gets modified each year according to a best-guess cocktail of strains. Some people take it, some don't, but those who take it are certainly not in any way or shape afraid of those who don't, since - if the cocktail is right - they should have nothing to fear! Somehow this all changed with covid. The experimental biological agent is now available to anybody in masses, and with 81% having cross immunity anyways and roughly 30% "immunized" (many obviously unnecessarily), who the fuck should give a shit about any covid mandates, useless mask mandates, opening restrictions or vaccine "mandates"?! Maybe not being able to answer this simple question will wake up some sheep.

Onvacation says

MD is a masters in biosciences, roughly 16 courses after basic undergrad biology (with a lot of overlap) plus clinical rotations in the basic areas of medicine. That fact that ppl believe that that makes 'em a genius really tells me how bad our science education is.

Well, there is an injectable Quercetin so MD practitioners can have it both ways ... use a syringe but have it loaded with something natural which is anti-inflammatory, anti-viral, and anti-tumor.

In the name of social justice and racial equity , I am taking the bold stand to not get the jab until every POC on the planet has received it first. I feel that this will atone for the sins of my ancestors. ...........Sound legit ?

Should've taken the "actively anti-racist" approach posted above. I tried it on two Berkeley leftoids already and they literally had nothing to say in response. =))

Lol. Good response. Remind him too that even after the FDA approves it, there are still plenty of other drugs that kill people they approve. It's a flawed system.

It's a 3 letter government agency. I don't trust them unless it's got about 5 years+ of human testing/use AFTER it's approved. I'm not anti-vaccination either. Just not this one and not right now. Based on the hype of this virus I should be dead right now anyway given how I've lived/traveled. Party in the Ozarks in about 2 weeks. Every meal at a restaurant. Pool bars on the lake. It's almost like I'm trying to get Covid the last year.
