He's hilarious, why block him? 

He seems to be good at manufacturing scientific “facts”, but I find intolerable his need to always make some snarky and condescending remark at the end of every response. It’s as if he has some insecurity that requires him to put people down after he’s presented his findings, which are generally well-researched. I just am turned off by people like him. 
 

Then you have @Jeffr2 who follows him around like a lost puppy dog.

There is another group of anti-vaxxers that have been of discussion for several years. Nothing to to do with covid-19. They reject childhood vaccinations such as MMR that have been approved and used for decades based on completely discredited nonsense that the inoculations cause Autism or other conditions. This phenomena is concentrated not with right-wing populism, but  Elites such as Hollywood celebrities. They think they can protect their kids by feeding them "organic" food,  and sending them to private schools and elite summer camps. 

 

They are a main reason for the shocking outbreaks in the USA in recent years of measles. 

 

 

Perhaps you can round up a few of the Captain Covid types here and embark on a witch hunt? ????

I will ask a simple question with regard to this topic:

If I do not wish to be injected with this product, should I have the right to do so, or not?

1 billion doses injected is not equal to 1 billion years.

 

To make a baby you need 1 woman... for 9 months. Not 9 women for 1 month.

 

Furthermore you are passing away fake news...

 

Because :

 

1= not all the tests regarding toxicity have been performed by Pfizer.

 

-"Genotoxicity/Carcinogenicity : Neither genotoxicity nor carcinogenicity studies were performed."

 

2 = regarding reproductive toxicity, the tests have been performed... on rats (say that to your wife, she will be happy).

 

"Reproductive and developmental toxicity were investigated in rats in a combined fertility and developmental toxicity study where female rats were intramuscularly administered Comirnaty prior to mating and during gestation"

So again, be careful. We need to focus on facts.

 

Not fantasy.

So not getting the vaccine because you don't want to is selfish, but compelling others to be vaccinated because you're terrified is not. That makes sense....

At the end of the day I couldn’t care less about you or your opinion or the opinions of certain others on this forum (a few people excepting), I like to keep my circle small - no room for you.

What part of its not passed all trials don't you get geff? 

 

The very fact that it's passed for emergency use means it's skipped some trials. There is no long term data on its side effects or indeed effectiveness. 

 You are the one spreading misinformation. 

You should admit that you were wrong. We'll be waiting.

The Oxford-AstraZeneca and Pfizer BioNTech vaccines, which are available in the UK, went through clinical trials (here) to prove their safety and efficacy. During the trials, half of the volunteers were given the vaccine and half were given a placebo dummy treatment (here).

Pfizer’s phase three clinical trial began in late July 2020 and the results were published in December 2020 (here). The trial enrolled 46,331 participants at 153 sites around the world in Argentina, Brazil, Turkey, South Africa and the United States, according to Pfizer’s website (here)

Thalidomide was looking pretty good in early trials, too.  Even got full approval, unlike the vaccines which are under emergency approvals.  Didn't age well, though...

 

The misinformation is that the vaccines have been proven safe in the long term...  For that to happen, takes a long term.

That is not true.  Its initial entry into the US market was prevented by Frances Kelsey at the FDA.  The drug was not approved until 1998.

And yet you falsely criticized the FDA approved vaccines on the grounds that some clinical trials were skipped? Because the FDA's approval doesn't matter to you? I can't speak as to how you personally feel about it, but the FDA's emergency approval of the vaccinek certainly mattered to your argument,

You falsely claimed that clinical trials were skipped. Clinical trials are the province of the FDA. So unless you actually say the words FDA, your claim doesn't constitute a criticism? Such nonsense.

I reject MMR on the basis it isn't necessary, had mumps and measles, neither of which harmed me.

I don't take flu vaccine either as flu never harmed me, and I don't often get it (2-3x in my life, sweaty for 2-3 days).

As is your right to do and I’m totally with you on this.
 

Never had MMR or felt the need to vaccinate against it. And I don’t need some quack doctor, armchair scientist or TVF member brow-beating me into submission or shaming me into getting vaccinated for ANY reason. I’m fully capable of doing my own research, weighing the risks and deciding for myself. Especially in this era of blatant misinformation.

What would that need feel like? I've never actually associated taking vaccines with feelings. I just follow the advice of all those armchair quack virologists and epidemiologists at the CDC, the FDA, and various universities.
