Yes it was fast tracked but it did not bypass all normal regulations.
Not only was the vaccine incredibly safe it was also incredibly effective.
Are you telling me, or are you telling yourself that?
I don't know, man. They said the same thing about PFAS, thalidomide, the 1976 U.S. swine flu vaccine and fentanyl. You could have up to an 80% increased chance of exploding before the age 65.
This is just straight up misinformation.
Show the statistics on ‘an 80% increased chance of exploding before the age 65’ or look at every single study that show it’s incredibly safe.
Are you joking or is the whole world still cross-eyed about this?
Most of the world and the majority of the researchers and scientists agree.
Do you want to provide some studies showing how they’re all wrong?
I'm pretty sure you're a bot. You seem completely unable to parse my comments.
You’re attempting to spread misinformation that’s been throughly debunked so I’m not sure what else I’m supposed to be reading?
Really now? It's been thoroughly debunked that vaccines cause people to explode? I could be wrong, but I think that I am the very first person on Earth to propose that.
The reason you are the first person to propose that is because there have been no known instances of people exploding because of vaccines. Nobody has ever exploded on their own.
Which means it is misinformation to spread that and it is up to you to provide evidence like cases where it did happen.
But you can't, because it never happened. And we can still call you out on it.
No, shit? Are you guys having a stroke? Should we send help?
It's clearly a joke. Poking fun at the “Regulations are written in blood!” crowd who have to scream “It’s safe and effective!” in everyone’s faces because their very souls on the line if they’re wrong. They’re telling themselves. Especially when they’re yelling it at me.
For me, if evidence pops up years down the road that it has a statistically increased chance of causing cancer or whatever, it’s no big deal because I know regulations have to be written in blood because that blood is the evidence that there is a problem. We can’t act till we have evidence.
The question is are you perfectly okay with waiting till people start exploding? What if you explode?
So you're just a troll. "Why don't more people adopt an unreasonable position?"
There were/are plenty of antivax hippie types. You seem to be trying to lump everyone on the left as being on the same page as them. Who are all these people screaming "regulations are written in blood," at you? I've never heard the phrase in my life. Apparently this represents some broad cultural movement? Can you name some notable public figures who oppose all regulations except when it comes to vaccines?
Or are you just pulling all of this out of your ass to troll?
Google it. There are pages and pages and pages of results for it.
So you can't name a single notable figure.
"Google it" is that the standard now? All that shows it that some random people on the internet say it. It doesn't prove that those people are the same ones who support regulations regarding vaccines. It also doesn't show that it represents any real meaningful movement.
It'd be like if I said, "Why do so many people scream 'taxation is theft' and then support burglery?" and when someone asks, "Do they support burglery? Who?" I respond, "Just Google it and you'll see lots of people saying that phrase."
You're just a troll. And one of the worst kinds of trolls, someone who trolls about vaccines. Your stupid little games get people killed.
This is an unhinged non sequitur. I am clearly in favor of vaccines. I am clearly pointing out how incredibly safe they are.
The way you troll is by saying more people should be antivax and then explaining (once pressed) that you're actually pro-vaccine and just want them to be internally consistent with principles they don't actually hold.
You're not being clever with this shit, you're just helping to poison the well.
WTF! I in no way said this.
That sounds a hell of a lot like criticizing pro-vaccine people as hypocrites because we're supposedly the same group that scream "Regulations are written in blood."
It’s criticizing political hobbyist. I got the vaccine because it was rational to get it. You got the vaccine because it was fashionable.
See, you're doing it again right now, exactly like I described. You're playing this game of criticizing people for getting the vaccine, attacking motives, while giving yourself plausible deniability by saying that you got it because it was rational.
How do you know that I and other people did not also get it because it was rational? Why do you even care why people got it? If it's the rational choice, you should be glad that it was "fashionable."
I guess this does open up another possible interpretation, which is that you're a narcissist who just assumes everyone else is stupid even when they're making the same decision as you and feel this need to present yourself as better than everyone else. I'm not sure whether that's better or worse than simply trolling. You're a complete, absolute dickhead who's poisoning the well either way.
All I can say is that I got the vaccine and I encourage others to do so too because of the evidence and not because some lunatic on the internet might call you a dickhead if you don't.
And you're calling me a lunatic on the basis that I'm pro-vaccine, the position that you claim to hold.
You're just a troll trying to stir up drama. That's all you are, 100%.
