While there were issues with the way things were done with vaccination, you have to understand why it even got there. We had a situation where people were unreasonably made scared of vaccines which were by every metric substantially safer for the general population than the side effects. If right wingers convinced the population that they should do 150mph in a school zone and this is fine behavior because speed limits are a conspiracy and crashing into someone else doesn't actually hurt them, how would you deal with this? I don't think there are any good answers here, but the vaccines were better than not, and you need herd immunity for things to get better. And again, forcing people who can get vaccinated to get vaccinated, with overwhelming evidence that this was safer for everyone involved, is not the same as exile or imprisonment based on political beliefs.

Please lookup the latest info where the accepted that the vaccines were not tested and Pfizer lied about the data they presented to get vaccine approval. They are all corrupt peas from the same pod. Republicans or democrats, doesn't matter. They all are only working to enhance the oligarchy.

Wut. Pfizer cominraty was well tested, all independent results since confirm the 2020 testing was accurate. The people in power were told the rate of negative side-effects. The benefit outweighed the negative; from a capital / social / utilitarian / every approach to the metric.

I question your background knowledge in the medical approval process. Your conspiracy focus' on the wrong elements

If we remove the authors of the independent results that were in one way or the other funded by Pfizer or other pharmaceutical companies, we are left we the true independent analysis from scientists whose voice was mulled by the mainstream media. The same mainstream media who for some reason had Pfizer advertisements. The negative effects of the vaccine far outweighed the benefits for people who did not have any underlying health conditions. COVID was never an issue for young healthy adults.

Who is running this bizarre metaanalysis?

COVID was never an issue for young healthy adults.

Extraordinary claims. Could you provide evidence the vaccination program resulted in a net negative health outcome for the 15-35 age group?

Additionally, I like my grandma, please don't murder her through a lack of societal conviction.

Could you provide evidence that it did not? Very easy to ask for evidence when a simple Google search would show you all you need to know.

Again, as my view is supported by society, the medical, and the scientific community I do not need to provide proof. The burden of proof lies with you

Google search first two results: both in strong support of vaccination in young people

it has become evident that also children could develop Long COVID after SARS-CoV-2 infection

Our results demonstrate that the benefits of the vaccine outweigh its risks for all age and sex subgroups we analyze in this study.

Where's your proof from a reputable source?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Google it and you will find dozens of articles about Pfizers statement in the European parliament and then their denial after the backlash.

Google it isn't proof, but thanks.
