Replying To Commodore: "100% agree, nobody should be forced to take a vaccine, it should always be optional.
I got the Covid jabs, I was aware of risks, but a few people in my neighbourhood died in quick succession in the first wave of Covid, including a friend of mine who had underlying health condition which he wasn't aware of. While I get people taking exception to it being forced upon them, I weighed up the options and opted to get it."
I got it too. It was a personal choice. Plus I needed to go to a Funeral and board a plane. I followed their rules.
Replying To zinny: "The most recent French one was the largest ever on Covid
Findings In this cohort study including 22.7 million vaccinated individuals and 5.9 million unvaccinated individuals, vaccinated individuals had a 74% lower risk of death from severe COVID-19 and no increased risk of all-cause mortality over a median follow-up of 45 months.
Given the vindictiveness of the current administration do you not think that if there was some sort of coverup around the vaccines that it would not be front and center. There has been zero attention focused on it by the administration and that is with a anti vaxer in charge."
Good post. I think they have to pick their fights carefully as the current administration has 3 years left and maybe only 1 year left if the midterms go wrong for them. Taking on Big Pharma would be far tougher than the old lawsuits against Big Tobacco due to Big Pharma does do some good things whereas Big Tobacco did nothing good for public health.
I'm skeptical of some of these studies as I don't know who funds them or who loses funding if the proper results aren't found. I do appreciate your attempt though.
