Trump is just one of the faces of a deep, global paradigm shift which has happened over the last decade (from globalism to national sovereignty).

 

It's all about the result. If the desired result is achieved (i.e. complete dismantling and/or neutralisation of the pharmaceutical and banking cartels), then it means the people at the helm (and that includes Trump and many other people) did the right thing at the right moment. Whether people understand it or not is secondary and, ultimately, irrelevant.

 

Not sure if I can agree with a Machiavellian "the ends justify the means" approach, but I can appreciate your argument.

 

For me though, the manner in which the end of the criminal syndicate is achieved is also a very important consideration. If there were better ways to have accomplished the goal which could have resulted in less suffering to people, that is very relevant to the discussion, and Trump doesn't get a free pass just because the way he chose might have been easier for him than others. There has to be a strong reason why there was no other way, and he is going to have to explain and justify that.

Countless companies forced their employees to take it… after a period of severe economic stress. I personally know several people in Thailand who were faced with that prospect, including an English guy, married with two kids, who would have been on the streets with his family if he had refused. Yes, it was forced on him (and he didn't want to take it).

 

Indirect coercion is coercion. "You're free to not take it but you will lose everything", that's coercion.

There was still a choice to be made. Coercion yes but not forced.

I guess you don't remember things like mandatory vaccine requirements to enter countries.

I traveled numerous times to Thailand during that time and the only requirement was to prove your didn't have covid via a pretravel test. There was still a choice to be made, so you were not forced

Regardless of the subject of vaccines the real fact is that Trump is a serial liar and has been his whole fake life.

76 million Americans disagree.

There are other countries than Thailand. You know that right?

Did you know that COVID-jabs are STILL required when applying for a Visa to visit the US? 

And that - besides the perks, help and support you receive - it is NOT required when entering the US illegally.

All you gotta do is take a look at countries that had very little vaccine administration and they did not have excess mortality.

If you don't disburse the vaccine and you don't track the impact of the disease on the population, the result is a perceived low mortality from the disease and/or misdiagnosis of the impact of the disease.

45th POTUS Trump faced a conundrum: On the one hand 45th POTUS Trump correctly took credit for producing the covid vaccine at "warp speed" to save lives, but on the other hand 45th POTUS Trump denied Am,erican deaths from covid and wouldn't put resources into tracking the extent of spread of the disease because the vaccine proved successful.

But there was a considerable time lapse before the vaccine was available and the spread of covid.

If you give enough people a biologically active molecule, some are going to die from it. Top down public health knows this and balances the expected lives saved vs losses, it is a tradeoff. What was wrong was the way eople were coerced into a novel therapeutic (MRNA vaccines) which had not undergone the normal FDA approval process. There is an argument that accelerated approval may have been right under the circumstances, especially if the vaccine actually did 'stop the spread'/provide immunity* but people screamed at "deniers" that it was FDA approved, when it was not FDA approved in they way that normally means. It was not a vaccine as vaccines were understood prior to the definition being changed*.

 

 

The only vaccine I can think of given to reduce infection not prevent is the Polio vaccine which is given after someone has contracted polio, but that is because it may have benefit due to the way Polio spreads - BUT the vaccine is normally given to PREVENT infection.

What you write is without any lack of knowledge. But how could you? You're not a doctor.

Sounds like this English guy was poor, made poor decisions in life. Nobody forced them to get the jab. I guess living the life in Thailand was a better decision than life planning. I made it thru with a wife and two kids. But then again I prepare myself for life events. Have a job that pays me enough I can save for life events like a pandemic. Guess being an adult and making good decisions is not the norm. Next your gonna say he paid his UK taxes and should have the government look after him with a pension. How about saving money from 18 and building one's own pension.

 

The only person to blame is oneself if you think that people were forced to take the vaccine or risk being on the street. I would love to know how much money this English guy has on hand at this moment. If he, of she, does not have on hand enough money to live for a year without working (I do) their problem was not being forced to take the vaccine, their problem is not being prepared for life events.

What would a day be on here without you calling people dumb and stupid. 

I just wish there was a vaccine that made people smarter, then Darwinian selection would really take off.

My mistake, I thought the subject was vaccinations.

 

Which one of my posts has a political reference?

No one ever agreed to that. 76 million people never voted on the fact that he is a serial liar, nor did they vote he was not a fraud or a sex offender or charity fraud or tax fraud or housing rental cheat or employee abuser. Non of those issues were on the ballot. They voted for him against his opponent. Stop twisting information

In studied Immunology as an undergraduate. I admit i didn't get into spike proteins etc because having studied Immunology I was well aware how much effort would be required to genuinely understand and I was not prepared to put in that effort. Others without this foundation knowledge clearly regarded themselves as experts, arguing with Immunology Professors about spike proteins etc, and telling them they were wrong.

 

I really can't decipher what you meant by what you wrote. I assume you were being snidey/negative about what I wrote. If that is the case please tell me on what knowledge base you are judging what I wrote i.e. how are you qualified to judge?
