" Go to the VAERS database " BS comparison. From the VAERS page itself : "A report to VAERS does not mean that the vaccine caused the adverse event, only that the adverse event occurred some time after vaccination." The disclaimer continues, "The reports may contain information that is...

Agreed - no question that this was an issue early on, but that specific reason seems to be cited less and less, thankfully. Anecdotally, real vaccine resistance (as opposed to perceived access difficulty) in the Black community is being broken down by social pressures from other Black people to...

The MMR > autism link has been utterly and comprehensively debunked. I won't argue that point any more than I'll argue with flat earthers or lizard people conspirators. KFF COVID-19 Vaccine Monitor: June 2021 " Consistent with previous research, unvaccinated Hispanic and Black adults are...

I read tons about this via my news sources. Lower Black/Hispanic vaccine rates are more likely to be the result of difficulty of access, not resistance. White vaccine resistance, particularly among evangelicals, is more likely to be from resistance than difficulty of access. These are not the...

See, the thing is that we've been through this before. I was not front line, but worked as a maintenance guy in a NYC hospice for AIDS victims in the late 90s. The gay community had what were called bugchasers - non-HIV positive people who actively courted risky activity in the deliberate...

Huh???? What in the hell has "bleach" got to do with this post? The last I heard was only that dumb ass trump suggested bleach as a cure for Covid. Bad effort at being humorous.

You misspelled "bleach".

Stopped reading because I knew you wouldn't answer my question.

This isn't really specifically about Covid, but how do you define "responsibility" in some way that excludes value judgments about your obligations (even to yourself) - ie, morality?

I think the reality that most health care professionals and policy makers are coming to is that Covid will become like the flu. It mutates fast enough and the world is big enough that we won't be able to eradicate it. My guess is that in 5 years, there will be yearly shots or scheduled...

Yes. No. A more detailed answer is that smallpox vaccinations were mandated in the US and UK by the mid 1850s. The effectiveness of the vaccine is approximately 95% (that number sound familiar at all?), with resistance tailing off over 3-5 years. Eradication came on the heels of a coordinated...

<Adds "so I don't turn into a Chinese Mole" to my list of reasons to get the vaccination>

Curious to know if they paid him for that extra time.

Anybody other than me wish that the Project Farm guy would rate valves?

Echoing Pellicle's comments above. One of the difficulties I've had in dealing with my (uniformly great) doctors is the rhetorical disconnect between the way they express the *urgency* of the procedure and the way they talk about the *difficulty* of the procedure. They're going to great...

So here's a weird one re; Covid. I have my CT scan/Pulmonary Function Test coming up on Wednesday. The hospital had asked that I provide a Covid test (nasal version, not quick test) result that was completed 96 hours prior to the appointment. Yesterday, they called and said that I didn't...

" Never get a smart phone- the government uses them to track you. " Well, in all fairness, the NSA is has acknowledged gathering location data, and has acknowledged gathering the contents of some unknown (> 500m) number of phone calls and texts. They ***theoretically**** can only connect it to...

Not you, that I've seen in this thread.

@Chuck C Yup - shame on me for jumping to conclusions. It sounds like it's worth studying, but the early studies have been withdrawn by the authors/journals. Again, I guess I don't understand the value of not getting the vaccine because it's "experimental", but taking a drug that has 3500 data...

Wait? Ivermectin the anti-parasitic? You're kidding, right? Benefit of the doubt that you got the drug name wrong? (I hope) Edit: I guess it is being studied, but I don't understand the logic of taking a drug that is only approved for study use but reject the "experimental" vaccine.
