Oh you skipped right over that one. Wonder why. full phase 1, 2, and 3 trials were done. there were 2 significant differences. Usually they are done entirely in succession. . Phase 1, then phase 2, then phase 3. So that would pose an additional risk to the participants. But they were volunteers. No one twisted their arms. This time the testing phases overlapped. 2nd, usually each phase beings with small groups particularly phases 2 and 3. The reason for that is simple: saving money. If the vaccines turns out to be less effective or harmful, the pharmaceutical company has lost less money. This time, the trials were subsidized so money wasn't an object. That way, a sufficient number of people were recruited to properly conduct the trials. An emergency authorization was given because it was an emergency. As the huge amount of data accumulated shows, it was the correct choice. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no problem… and then many more people would vax. So… what’s the problem? Vaccine liablitity shields existed before covid. So that goes for vaccines that took years to make it to the market. And the reason was simple. It wasn't worth it to pharmaceutical companies to run the risk of losing expensive lawsuits to justify the expense of creating vaccines. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, yeah, bc there aren’t any You are aware they are new technology (20 years old or so). Kinda like comparing horse and buggy to the automobile. This is the future of vaccines. And shows how quickly they can now be done. Not to mention, the US put pressure on the FDA to approve them fast. Cutting a lot of the BS paperwork down and allowing phases to overlap. Never happened before. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None. Hmmm. Makes wonder, doesn’t it? Makes you wonder about those oxymoronics. No discussion of natural immunity because all references to it were from dodgy websites. None of us here are wondering why it's not on this forum. Natural immunity has been proven to not be an alternative to the vaccines. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qhat don't you understand about the fact that this liablity shield was in place before Covid? What don't you understand about the fact that without this shield, pharmaceutical companies had largely abandoned vaccine research? What don't you understand that litigation about the effects of a vaccine isn't decided by virologists and epidemiologists but judges or juries? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Classic non sequitur. That a pharmaceutical company/companies negotiate a liability shield is not evidence that their product is not safe. There are a number of reasons why they might obtain/be granted a liability shield, these have been explained to you. No right minded CEO would voluntarily take on a liability if there were means to avoid it. By avoiding a liability the companies do not have to allocate funds to cover the liability and can therefore return higher profits to their shareholders, to whom they answer. Where is your evidence of the vaccines not being safe? Edited February 8, 2022 by Chomper Higgot 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is your evidence of the vaccines not being safe? As I pointed out earlier (maybe in another thread) pharmaceutical companies have been shielded from liability in the US for a long time now. What happened was that these companies decided that the risk of expensive litigation made it unwise to pursue vaccine creation. So they pretty much stopped. To address that problem, the US enacted a law to shield Pharma. Whether it's just or not, the fact is it predated the development of the covid vaccines. So making it about Covid is ahistorical nonsense. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, I wouldn't want to single out Jeff, as I do it, you probably do it, and in fact nearly everyone does. it's just in the nature of things that we select the articles that mostly reflect our own views (confirmation bias), and thus by replicating them we, by proxy, do in fact express our own opinions.

A metaphor might be the ventriliquist's doll. This notwithstanding, Jeff is probably right imo on this issue. In the age of social media and internet search engines it has become a deal more complicated than that. Algorithms monitor what information people respond to, ‘like’, ‘share’ or even how long they spend with an item ‘on screen’. The algorithms then feed more of the same. This is not simply a single social media platform issue, online searches are examined and used to feed articles and advertisements to the users social media. The (confirmation bias) is being fed by algorithms. As we frequently observe here in this forum, misinformation from obscure sources winds up being posted by numerous members, that isn’t caused by these individuals independently stumbling on the same obscure sources, their confirmation bias is being fed. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This idea about protecting them has largely gone out the window now. Grandma and grandpa should have already been vaccinated anyway. If they cannot vaccinate, they need to isolate. Everyone is going to be exposed to omicron, it's just a matter of time. I have a coup,e of sister-in-laws who don't want to vaccinate. It's their choice. But their time will come. agreed. the vulnerable (like grandma and grandpa) need to take measures to protect themselves. maybe wearing the N95 masks even if they are triple vaxxed (same goes for other vulnerable groups). the narrative that 100% vax will spare everyone from the virus is an old and tired narrative. it will never happen. kind of like me, a short person, trying to dunk a basketball. ain't going to happen. if the death rate for the children in the 5-11 group was the same for the general population, i doubt the vaccines would have been made. and it might be more prudent to do what the UK has suggested, give the vaccine to children in this group that have underlying conditions. maybe the UK has updated their guidance but that is the lastest that i saw. i'm from the US and i think the officials there are a bit 'vax crazy'. i'm double vaxxed with pfizer plus a moderna at age 55 with no underlying conditions (although age is a bit high). so i'm vaxxed but i do believe there are people who don't need the vax and it should be a personal choice.

catturd Posted February 14, 2022 Share Posted February 14, 2022 Pfizer announced before Christmas that in a clinical trial of children aged 2 to 4 years old, two doses of vaccine failed to generate antibody levels on par with those seen in people aged 16 to 25 after two shots. https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/coronavirus-covid-19-update-fda-postpones-advisory-committee-meeting-discuss-request-authorization Best advise is assess ones risk of covid disease and/or wait for vaccine efficacy and safety results from the current ongoing pfizer clinical trials ending 2026.

The UK health authority is vacillating over the decision, but is due to make an announcement today (postponed from Friday). They have stressed a decision is made according to the benefit of the individual only, and Omicron is thought to have recently infected up to half the children in this age group anyway with very small consequences. It is regarded as very low risk for 5-11 year olds. There may be a different set of factors in the USA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
