Science is wonderful and should be trusted, but the problem is concerning Covid, it seems to rarely be applied. My cousin was a biochemist at a large university and quit her job over the lack of such application.

Yes, really.
My great nana contracted shingles very late in her long life (103 years) and by report it was an agonizing affliction for her.
Sure, there's always risks with any vaccines, especially ones like covid which were rushed into production, but I'll take the risk rather than getting a full, unbuffered dose of disease.
Take it easy and educate yourself. The more recent variants of Covid are not all that life threatening. Experts said from the very beginning that Covid would likely mutate into something more transmissible but less harmful and this is what happened. And it certainly no longer warrants taking an experimental drug therapy with highly questionable long term effects.
When you start talking about msm as some sort of conspiratorial thing then sorry but that is from the land of social media influencers. Listen to us, not THEM! All this shit goes hand in hand which is a big part of why I'm over it and don't like to discuss it.
You seemed to suggest that there was a reasonable chance that somehow the influence of big pharma is preventing these studies from existing. That isn't the same as saying there is no influence. Sure there is likely some sort of influence somewhere, but so?
Clearly you spent far far more time on the subject than I have but that doesn't mean I'm going to dismiss the basis of how I form my beliefs. There appeared to be many indepth academic/research papers that said there was no increase in post-vaccine deaths. If you want me to pick some and you want to tell me how they're wrong then I will do so.
It is hard for you to not take this personal as you have clearly spent a lot of time on investigating it. I'm not saying you don't know what you're talking about but the system I use to form the basis of beliefs is disagreeing with you and it won't be changed anytime soon.
If these journal articles/paper are wrong then it should be demonstratable by you. That would suggest a cover-up far beyond the simple msm needs to kiss big-pharma ass. (Which is true). It suggests something much more darker and a conspiracy that is across academia and institutions all so that a few public companies can maximize profits. I still maintain academics are not into life for money so this idea that everyone is corrupted has never agreed with me.
I've had elderly relatives contract shingles, and witnessed their suffering.
It's painful, but manageable, depending on where on the body the outbreak occurs.
One unfortunate 80+ in-law had the outbreak on his face, and was suicidal due to the pain...he begged to be euthanized, and ended up losing sight in one eye.
But shingles is essentially adult chicken pox, symptoms are temporary, and complications rarely life-threatening.
Most of us probably can't remember having chicken pox, but if you've had kids, and seen a full-blown outbreak, it's pretty shocking, but nowhere close to being as bad as it looks.
But that's for kids, not the elderly. For the elderly, it's worse than it looks.
Please provide a link to what you are referencing. But be warned as long as it's not excessively technical I will read it in it's entirety.
I think it was mainly the lockdown measures (more of how they affected her kids) but I think once there was even talk of mandating the vaccines, she was done.
There are many papers. I'm not sure what you claim. Do you say that not counting the benefits from catching COVID outcomes + side-effects < neutral outcome OR are you saying that the side-effect deaths were very substantial? There are tons of papers supporting the former. I can't find anything that tries to specifically extract the extra death rate from side-effects. There might be a serious issue with the data at that point for various reasons. I don't know but everything addresses COVID outcomes post shot/infection was better outcome than prior to the shot.
I can't find a paper either way that tries to extra the death rate. Literally given how it all works, I can't imagine them extracting cause of death AND vaccine status accurately from anything. Self-reporting stuff I am so not trusting to report accurate anything. So what does that leave? It leaves all the numerous studies.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34055843/ I can find others. But the problem with this is it comes from the government likely. The list of papers just goes on. At least half a dozen if not signficantly more and I find nothing in my searches about how the death rate shot up. I don't get your graph or what it is about. It seems like someone somewhere would have written a paper - EVEN if rejected from journals laying this out. Something ... that explains the methodolgy and how they determined this excess death.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34055843/ is useful because they seem to actually have data on how people died contrary to what I suspect. I don't know. I'm not digging into it. I've spent more than enough time. I should have just dumped all the papers in here but after reading many abstracts and such nothing has changed my opinion.
So just find something that seems respectable and not tied into some social media/website pusher person. I doubt I will respond further unless you dispute the above link outside of it being government funded OR just show me one of these papers I ask for ...
Maybe I need to put conspiratorial language into these AI systems to see if they can find me something but nah ... I've spent far too much time on this.
Glad I'm not a scared, weak, stupid piece of shit so i never fell for the covid bulls-shits, and am proudly in-vaxxed, hey hey.

Don’t let your daughter get the hpv vaccine.
Never get a tetanus shot.
Don’t ever take antibiotics.
Why stop there - be a Christian Scientist and avoid all medical treatments.

So what you see above is standard. "redacted news" is the last one. The guy doesn't actually have a link to the study he discusses (LOL) but he is reporting on his interpretation of it. Same ol shit. Track it down and yes it confirms there are dangerous side-effects that happen in some portion of the population. Which is not something I ever said otherwise AFAIK. No one worth listening to this disagrees or disputes this.
Soxfan has been called out on lies before and ever has an answer. A definite fool, hey hey hey.
Research in a post-world uneducated world will just be googling youtube headlines and posting links. This is the new normal.

Read the papers and get off youtube like every other jerkoff in the internet age. hey hey hey
I was far more worried about long-covid. hey hey hey
Seriously bro, it is the antibiotics where they get ya.
Yup, those covid vaccine are perfectly safe and only the conspiracies theorist would claim other wise, hey hey!!!!

Again, not how it works. Interpreting numbers and understanding people which leads you know some real grim outcomes are coming does not mean you fear it. I see rightwing guys claim this while they're being simultaneously triggered in the same comment. I only comment to show you guys how fucked you are and to keep you from swimming in your little safe-land bed of bullshit. I don't need it. Thats all you buddy. lol hey hey
I know a guy. Real tough guy. Went to a house party where a black guy told the story of having the shit beat out of him and not realizing it until the next day in the mirror. (tough guy gave beating ) Heard about sOmeone pushed by the neck against the wall with a gun pointed at them by tough guy. Ignored state regulations of his bar. Shuttered the windows with boards after hours to keep serving when it suited him. His son said he'd grab a ratsnake. FUck that. anyway, a real tough guy. I really believe that. He wasn't scared of COVID either but goddam did he seem to change after having it. Always leaning on the bar. Not moving around much. People commented on how he'd changed.
But at least he wasn't skared !!!! lol
You guys should quit jerking off to youtube. There are porn sites for that. Did yall not know that?
Lots of retards without medical degrees opining about medicine. Hey Hey.

Look out kid, don't matter what you did

This is what you get when people pay zero attention to staying healthy, eating properly, and exercizing regularly throughout their pathetic lives. And in some extreme cases like AQ's, he piles it on himself by worrying his ass to death over meaningless climate change, running out to get every vaccine, and taking ED pills so he can jerk off to pictures of Chelsea Clinton.
My wife and I haven't been sick in over a decade, we travel around & go out to more restaurants/casinos/shows than all of you stiffs combined, and getting vaccines of any kind is as valuable to us as a handful of pesos. The simple reason? BECAUSE WE CARE ABOUT TAKING CARE OF OUR BODIES WITH MINIMAL MEDICATIONS!
Common sense almost always wins out. Talk to the Trump campaign Wed. morning.
Just wondering, Robert: you being so anti-vax and all: how many vaccines have you had during your life time?
Polio, I hope?
Smallpox too?
Jerk off to Chelsea Clinton. I actually googled up a picture of her. She can be head-shotted up to look decent but any candid pic is meh. lol. Maybe tomorrow.
I'm actually glad to see that when the stars align Singer can pull it together enough to make one original joke.
I'm also glad he can post something not involving his obsession KewlJ. He was obsessed with Kewl longer than Kewl counted in LV. Sometimes I think Singer is truly sad because Kewl despises Mdawg considerably more these days. Winter is settling in and that trek out to the camper isn't so great. Lets all be nice to him. It must all be quite depressing for him.
By Wednesday Morning Trump will be planning his escape. Probably to Russia or Hungary. Hungary would have been good for his illegal immigrant wife, as she is from neighboring Slovenia. BUT, She won't be going with him. She worked hard to get her whole family over here and citizenship by "chain immigration", something Donald Trump frequently rails against. And yet Melania's parents and sister not only did it, but did it while Donald was president, in 2018. Funny, the MAGA crowd doesn't talk about that. :confused:
Anyway, when Donald is hiding out in some authoritarian country, Melania and her family (mother has passed) will be living it up in Mar-a-lago. I am sure she will miss him dearly. Ha! :D
Both of your links go to the same study?? Did you happen to notice the date of this study? It's based on VAERS data extracted between 12/11/20-1/8/21, this was way before mass-scale vaccine rollout. They found 55 deaths in VAERS. The last time I looked at the VAERS data was probably somewhere around late 2021 and there were already 30,000 deaths related to the Covid vaccine. Keep in mind VAERS is voluntarily reported so definitely under-reported.
I'm disappointed :(
One big problem with determining vaccine deaths is there can be a huge lag between vaccine intake and death. The cardiological issues seem to present more early on but later immunosuppression can lead to cancer which can take a long time to kill you. If you die of cancer a year or more later, this will almost surely not get pinned on the vax. This is why the excess deaths data is of a lot of value in determining there is some kind of a problem.
You can't be this stupid. They sure did a good job of convincing you that the mRNA Covid shots are just like any other traditional vaccine. They are not. Disappointing to learn that both of our resident attorneys seem to be sheep when it comes to injecting stuff into their bodies.
I don't believe this thread on vaccine conspiracy theories. Anyone who wants to believe vaccines and advances in medicine are bad...go for it. Join the Amish in shunning medicine and believing in 'God's will".
Americans live to be 85, 90 100 years old routinely now. We can debate whether that is good or bad (not so good with poor quality of life and can't remember anything or know who you are). BUT there is no debate this longer lifespan is because of modern advances in medicine and that includes preventive medicine like vaccines and flu shots, ect.
You either believe and embrace the advances in science and medicine, or you plow your fields with a horse, die in your 5t0's and 60's and lose a few kids in their childhood. Your call.
It is the only study I found that tried to separate the deaths from the vaccine side-effects directly.
I'm not sure if you believe that the overall effect is bad when including the vaccine positives and negatives? I can find plenty of studies doing that. I can't find ones that try to figure out the deaths caused by the vaccine. Or something that shows a large amount of deaths.
If there are excessive deaths from vaccine then there should be studies demonstrating this. There are not. I've looked too much already. I can find ones that show that the overall effect of the vaccines is a positive but I'm not if you disagree with that?
Both links went to the same study because I had spent too much fucking time on this shit and wasn't in the mood to copy/paste the title and just repasted the URL twice.
Unlike the youtube crew, I actually read the conclusion/abstracts and tried to find something to address your belief. Too much time. You've done all this studying but can't come up with one legitimate study by a non-influencer type that shows the deathrate increasing in some statistically meaningful way due to the vaccine. Sorry but that is the reality of this. I would think the burden of proof should be more on your side given that your claim is the more outlandish one.
I have little problem believing that the trial outcomes weren't covered up. There was so much disinformation going on and bad math. Everyone is stuck between a rock and a hard place. The youtube videos are prime examples of click-bait/manipulative takeways of data.
My basic belief is vaxes should have never been forced on anyone but if a hospital wants to deny treatment for people who didn't get the vax and have covid - then they should have the right to do that in a free society. That was my main issue with the vaccine - is that it overloaded the healthcare industry. I am greedy and want it functional for myself. I'd be ok if these anti-vax people would just sit at home and ride it out but many of them are going to go to the hospital when they're dying and take up a bed. Often costs being passed onto others. Stay home for the vax, stay home from the hospital. That was my view at the time. Maximize freedom to everyone.
One other thing. I remember during covid a number of these right wing media influencer who railed against vaccines and that covid was anything more than the flu. Fast forward a month and you saw several in the hospital literally on their deathbed (because they died shortly after) saying they were wrong.
And while the republicans were minimizing covid and railing against vaccines, who was first in line to get theirs....Good old Donald J Trump. (do as I say, not as I do)
Speaking of good old DJT, I can guarantee the guy who "ended abortion" and is proud of it, paid for a number of abortions for women he screwed. Do as I say, not as I do. :cool:
I watched a full speech of Trump today. It is remarkable how much BLM is like this immigrant talk. Bad math. Like a handful of cops are malicious pieces of shit who get off on their authority - that is the minority of them. Just like immigrants - most are here to work hard and have a decent life. There is some amount of them who are horrible people who need to be hung. Just like the cops.
Both sides dehumanize all cops and immigrants. Full of individual examples but if you look at the math overall - the claims of both sides are wrong. It is the same shit. Just manipulative bullshit coming from puppetmasters of left and right. Same thought processes.
Hey I'm all for any advance that has gone through a full FDA approval process with plenty of safety data to back it up.
Actually US life expectancy dropped quite a bit and still has not recovered to pre-Covid expectancy as of yet. Stick to talking about counting cards, you're out of your element Donnie.
That would have been nice. In an ideal situation. Sure. There wasn't that luxury with this emergency health situation. You do the best you can. And that is what I believe they did.
here is my conspiracy theory and it is minor compared to what I have read in this thread. I believe that the government in conjunction with scientists and doctors, may have suspected that covid wasn't as severe a risk to completely healthy adults. BUT in order to protect older people, people with underlying health problems and children who were more at risk, they made these rules and mandates and shutdowns for everyone. I mean if they left it up to everyone to do the right thing people are so selfish they wouldn't have, even at risk of their own loved ones.
I have no problem with the way everything went down, nor my choices to protect myself and continue to protect myself with vaccines.
LOL! That's exactly what this is.
The dark brown line is the projected deaths based on 5 years prior to Covid and then adjusted for population and/or other factors. The light brown line is the actual deaths. Both lines have Covid deaths removed to keep it apples to apples. The green vertical line is approx when the vaccines are introduced at mass scale. After that you see the actual deaths just peel away from the projected deaths.
You're asking me to produce a study that doesn't exist AFAIK. Sorry I can't manifest one, but this graph should be more than enough to at least raise a red flag for you... and a BIG one!
It isn't even about policies right now. I voted for Harris and I am pretty sure I disagree with more things than agree with, with her and the democrats. Trump is a crazy person and not fit to be president. End of story. Just the same as back in early July it became apparent Joe Biden was not fit to be president.
I mean you gotta start with people that are sane and fit (includuing mentally) and haven't forgotten who or where they are in the case of Biden. then we can talk about what they want to accomplish.
It is an image. I want the actual study and methodology that produced this. It is also produced by an influencer. See the branding in the upper-right? It is even copy-righted. Someone is looking for $$ from it first and foremost.
The flag was raised and I looked around ..
If this is legitimate, the guy who created it will explain exactly how he arrived at this and the actual numbers and all that. He would have tried to put it in a paper and have it published. Thats how science works. People share ideas and try to get theirs out there. This is meant to convince people of a beief but not trying to expand any sort of understanding.
The data is just too hard to find for researchers. If like everyone was truthful and everything recorded then we could know.
There is also the issue that long covid has also caused issues and some of them are very likely to have pushed people over the brink to death. How is any of this separated out? It could be a vaccine, it could be the lingering inflammation from the illness.
All he did was compile data (add up numbers every week) from government sources. It's not rocket science. He gives the sources right there. MMWR is the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report data that's available on the CDC website. And I think you'll find people who voluntarily do this kind of work to be quite detail oriented. I'd be willing to bet this stuff is spot on. I doubt he's a scientist that would be able to publish a paper, it's just an expression of data in graph form.
Like I said I had no trouble believing this because there is also data from many other countries showing similar trends, it wasn't just here.
Yes, it seems to be that the current COVIDs do less to cause long covid and also we have vaccines and medicine to treat active infections which are very effective. Long-covid could contribute to a person's death years later from everything I know but no one can know this. Science has limitations of all sorts. Much of these limitations led to somewhat poor advice at times. I see too much conspiracy talk though in a general sense. It clouds to much criticism of the vax response.
That was always my concern, long covid. That is still my opinion. I'll take vax risk over risk of long covid without the vax. oh well..
Even where Covid is right now?? Nah, I'll let my immune system handle it. I don't think we have enough experience monkeying around with genetic code just yet. But I generally have no issue with other more proven traditional vaccines.
Another big problem with vaxxing for any type of coronavirus is trying to stay ahead of the mutations. They mutate fast and it will always be hard to keep up, so you'll have to get boosters often and many times with limited effect. At the end of the day it comes off as a good business model to me. Vaccines are the one pharmaceutical you can even sell to healthy people. But this is only my opinion of course ;)
No they didn't suspect. They KNEW this! The data said this from the very beginning. Except no group of children were ever at high risk, don't know where you got that idea. Oh wait... probably from the media.
They hoped to try to slow it down, or at least give the impression that there was something people could do to slow it down. Of course keeping 80% of the workforce at home had to have accomplished this to some degree. But no, we never even came close to taking the extreme steps required to actually protect the elderly. My biggest criticism of our Covid response was that we did not do more to protect the most vulnerable.
I guess my verb tenses were wrong. I still would have taken the vax .. I got the 3rd shot aka booster but don't plan on getting one again until something serious changes.
You're clearly not wrong that pharma companies want to sell vaccines and anything else they produce. That is a big part of capitalism - talking people into buying things they don't need.
If the clinical trials show bad effects and they release this data and then every social media influencer trying to gain clout will have purposefully misconstrue the results in the best way they can think up. I can't particularly blame the vax companies for a "cover-up" unless they covered up something really bad.
This is why disinfo is pushed by parties outside the US. It just fucks with everything. Hurricane responses and such. Everything.
My biggest issue was the PPP money just blanket given out and it was just kinda random whether it was needed or not. Case in point - buddy was a mechanic. They never shut down the place. The employees just avoided each other and didn't eat close together. Seemed to work just fine and the owners got a huge fat financial freeroll. They're not near enough wealthy to need a wealth tax but these were the types of people just buying assets elsewhere.
I've come to the conclusion that the trials were just a smoke and mirrors show, I think they already knew they could keep people out of the hospitals with Covid. If you look at the results page I posted, the sample size was obviously way too small. You don't need a degree to see that.
What's amazing to me is how badly they botched even producing an illusion of a valid study and IIRC there were a couple whistleblowers. I remember when they initially started releasing the trials results through the media, the number of people who died in the study overall was multiples lower than the number who would normally die in that time period just from natural causes in the general population. Of course this was already red flag number two for me because I could never stomach the idea of using a brand new non-FDA approved technology for the vax. So when they were available I opted for the non-mRNA J&J vax. But within just several months problems with the vaxxes started to come to light.
But yeah they covered up some really bad things, they dismissed people from the trials that more or less had any kind of side effects, hence the very low death rate in the study. I'd say that constitutes fraud, but again that's just my opinion.
Will this be the post-election landscape of America?
Stay tuned boys and girls and watch as the whacky madness unfolds around us.
Just...wow...
That was really funny but not sure the point. Anyone who's ever lived in Texas or California should know those state's economies would immediately collapse without all the cheap immigrant labor. It would cost $300 just to get someone to mow your lawn because GenZ Americans wouldn't do it for less than 50/hr, if at all. At least half of the restaurants would close, then a hamburger would be $50. New construction would triple and if you needed a new roof on your house then you'd be making a trip to Home Depot and have to get your ass up there with a hammer.
I mean we can't just let anyone who wants in, I get that. But there has to be a balance for decent people who want to work.
I noticed in this video that one lady said "So find them a home !!", so she was fine with immigrants living at someone's home - just not hers. Another couple didn't even want them sleeping on their lawn.
Here is nice article that summarizes it all (former President Obama's good friend NBA pro Steph Curry is featured in the article):

They are the party of change; republicans want to stick to the old ways.
Seems clear to me.
Rob, I've no idea how Portlanders are taking it as I've not asked, nor cared to ask: like I said before I didn't vote for Harris.
It's thinking like that that's won this for Trump.
You HATE Trump...as does nearly everyone up there. That says it all.
It's pure gold watching the meltdowns on anti-Trump CNN and MSNBC. And in 10 weeks we're sending that arrogant, cackling, lying, dumbass big-mouth back to California where she belongs.

The election makes no difference to me but it's great entertainment watching the MSM meltdown over a Trump Victory.
LOL starting at 1:21...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z4x8H-Dkzn4
The election coverage had the same smell as the Covid-19 shot coverage.
In the US, there's this perspective that's at odds with the rest of the world, where they took real money on the election. BetOnline was taking action at five digits a whack yesterday. They were inviting six. Meanwhile, for days, every major US news network failed to mention that Trump was -160 to -180 offshore. They went with "Trump Campaign in Trouble" headlines.
In the US: Media Bullshit. Everywhere else: Reality Coverage.
Same with Covid-19 and boosters. In the US (except Idaho): "Get Your New Shots. Bundle Them with Flu."
Rest of the World: "Maybe, if you're over 60. Or Not. They Seem to Not Really Do Much."
Places in Idaho have banned the boosters. This should be fun. Pharma will have to prove current effectiveness to overthrow the legal ban. Not gonna happen.
Obviously, the people at MSNBC and CNN knew what the real odds were. This whole "Kamala's gonna win" was acting-class stuff. That's what bothers me. Major news networks shilling for US candidates by misrepresenting the true, readily available, probabilities. Then getting all teary-eyed when the US public "disappoints" them. Van Jones should take a few acting classes or learn to do actual research.
The yarn now is that the misogynistic US public "failed" their civic duty. The storylines these networks push are ridiculous. CNN and MSNBC should be left to die their pitiful deaths.
