Coronavirus - Take two - Action!

[drussell41]

I've not seen that commercial. Maybe that's a good thing, as it has not caused my head to explode. I mean, my patience is pretty short with folks who try to piss down my back and tell me it's just raining. "fat sugar and water" sounds like a cookie recipe to me. Not gonna let anyone get within arms reach peacefully if they're trying to inject my veins wit cookie dough, y'know?

I'm not an "anti-vaxxer" by any means. Some vaccines used to be helpful, and some were even necessary. This one is very clearly NOT necessary, so I have to wonder WHY they are pushing it so hard on the unsuspecting, to the point of outright lying to obfuscate reality and get "shots into arms". As you say, it makes the hinky meter peg out, peg so hard that the needle bounces off the peg.

As far as the CDC and VAERS goes, they have already been caught in so many sea changes, retractions, and outright lies that your correspondent may have a point not to trust the VAERS data... but the data being a lie can go two directions. He or she seems to be opting into the over reporting direction, but it's just as possible that the reporting is UNDER reporting... both are lies that the CDC is becoming famous for, it's just a matter of perspective, isn't it?

Yep, I do know about rain vs. piss, and that's exactly the situation with this ad.   "Exploding head".....that explains why I'm stuck in the "holy crap, who on earth thought this commercial was a good idea, endorsed such an outrageous lie, and thought we were stupid enough to believe it". 

I'm not anti-vax either, more "some vaccines for some of the people, some of the time", which is definitely not the Church of Vaccinology's "all vaccines for all people, all of the time."   I've had a flu vaccine every year for the last 30 years; however, this fiasco is kinda making me rethink that.   If they're that untrustworthy with these vaccines and the flu vaccines only have a median/mean efficacy of 40-41 percent....and I still ended up in the ER from the flu one year.... should I really even be taking those?  I never asked that question before this fiasco.

There was a study out of Harvard that indicated only one percent of adverse events actually made it into VAERS.   So--far from that guy's argument of "this data shouldn't be trusted to reflect reality" position-- the data should probably be used as just a bellweather for a situation that, in reality, is much worse.  I was hoping that maybe it was just underreporting for minor adverse events, but in seeing how physicians are treating adverse-event victims (gaslighting, washing their hands of them), I'm not so sure it's limited to minor events.
