Ok so we agree that nobody should be forcing this on kids. Glad we could find some common ground.
One more thing... so if you believe the vaccines are safe because the FDA and CDC tested and determined them to be safe, does it concern you that the FDA is asking congress for a 55 year extension before releasing the safety test data they were looking at when they approved Pfizer?
What is it they don't want us to see? Does it concern you that 2 top FDA officials resigned due to political pressure to approve boosters before the science was fully examined and discussed?
In any case it's nice to know that we can squabble and disagree on here and give each other tool badges and thumbs down badges but we both agree that if you want the shot, take it. If you don't, don't.
The FDA is one of many disgusting, nasty CORPORATE entities that exist in the world for one reason; to profit off of us. In order for them to profit off of us, they need to have an established trust with the public, which we can both agree; they have that less now than ever before.
I have a family member who almost died several times due to an opioid addiction; he was one of millions in the 90’s that got pumped full of addicting pills that slowly killed them as if doctors were prescribing cigarettes.
I have no love lost for big pharma. Ever seen Sicko by Michael Moore? Eye opening. There’s a new doc that’s out that we watched recently on the opioid crisis and the vile, nasty stuff that’s gone down. I can’t remember what it’s called or which streaming service it was on but I’m sure it’s easy to find, great stuff.
However, I also have healthcare providers close to me who are among the most noble human beings I have ever met; like the exact way you would want a dr or a nurse to be. And let’s not forget that this is still the same moral basis on which healthcare exists; giving selflessly to help absolutely. They are in it because they want to help people; they willingly sacrifice their own health, family time, practice to do whatever is necessary to save people.
Now, there is a side to it that is very ugly, that they have to deal with, just like we have to deal with UPS management. It’s the business aspect of the operation that is too far, too overblown for its own good and would eat us alive if we allowed it, did not regulate and legislate.
Drs. Have access to studies that we don’t. They have prudent information that we don’t.
I went through 3 drs before I found my primary care provider because I had to determine that I had somebody that I knew would truly make my well being a priority.
I could care less what Fauci, that loser Biden sitting in his tower spewing supposed “support” for Kelloggs workers while not doing a damn thing about it, Trump, any Republican, any democrat; this is not politically driven to me whatsoever.
I simply collect as much information as I can: do my best to decide what is bs and what is not, use the resources around me (drs, research, etc) and even THAT isn’t easy, because you have to decide which resources don’t actually have a dog in the financial COVID fight.
It’s in big pharma, the CDC, Phizers best interest to produce a product that they can make money with. How can they make money with a product that kills the consumer they are trying to make money off of?
It’s in drs, nurses, best interest to recommend a product that will provide therapeutic benefits, not harm us.
It’s also in the best interest of certain political agendas to get you to be afraid of the vaccine. It is in the best interest of certain social agendas to get you to freak out about taking a shot and stand up to the man. There is a basic nobility to it that at first glance I can get with and respect.
I do not believe this is a part of any grander agenda to tear down our democracy; it’s simply the continued exploitation of capitalism and socially normalized liabilities. They are taking advantage of the situation just like they always do. I hate it. It makes me want to vomit.
I still took the vaccine, because none of that means a thing to the issue at hand. Here is the issue at hand:
-We have a worldwide extremely contagious virus spreading around the world and wreaking havoc on our interpersonal relationships, our commerce, our lives, in whatever way you want to discuss.
-We have produced a vaccine. Despite skepticism, it is highly recommended by entities whom their reputation is on the line by recommending it. The people who are recommending it, are taking it themselves.
- When you get COVID-19, while the odds are 9/10 that you’ll be just fine, there is risk of death/unknown long term complication. There is a documented loss of brain matter.
Based on the above, I made my decision
