I 100% support the right of anyone to volunteer to be a test subject in a "HUGE science experiment" that involves injecting themselves with substances we "do not have ... many of ... the answers about" and don't even know basic information on like correct dosing.
I do not support
forcing people to become test subjects in a "HUGE science experiment" that involves injecting them with substances we "do not have ... many of ... the answers about." The last time that happened,
we hanged seven doctors.
It seems that AGAIN saxi twists the facts and my words to weave a false narrative. Note his uses of ellipse (...) when he quotes me.
"correct dosing"? Really? That does not need more attention by me.
So let me correct the record to the truth and again refute saxi's lies and his other misleading statements.
1) The COVID vaccines under went numerous trials, as drugs in the USA must do. Here is when things like correct dosing is checked and carefully monitored, among many variables, including the safety of the human subjects. We had many answers before the vaccines were approved for use to the general population. saxi totally ignores that fact, that process, and the data from those trials. Science and medicine does not randomly inject random people with random things HOPING something works, as saxi wants to imply. Has saxi even heard of a double blind study? Apparently he is ignorant of that or chooses to ignore such procedures and safeguards.
2) Information about the impact of those drugs, including mortality and side effects is constantly monitored. That effort continues.
3) The more we learn about the vaccines, the more we learn that they are indeed efficacious and safe. Thus the CONCLUSION that these vaccines are indeed safe and effective.
4) We experiment with new technology all the time. I have read that use of cell phones and electronic devices is essentially an experiment on how our very young children learn and how it impacts brain development.
5) The risk of vaccines far outweigh any dangers. I have documented that on several occasions.
6) This is called cost benefit analysis, a concept:
a) I mentioned earlier;
b) that got NO response from saxi;
c) apparently something saxi does not comprehend.
7) To further support my hypothesis in 6c), saxi keeps looking for a 100% safe and 100% effective vaccine. There is NO such vaccine, drug, or even human endeavor.
8 ) Two more supporting planks to bolster my contention:
a) Ben Franklin (and Mark Twain) essentially said that the only two things certain in life are death and taxes.
Although used by Mark Twain, the quotation “The Only Two Certainties In Life Are Death And Taxes” is known to have originated in a 1789 letter from Benjamin Franklin to Jean-Baptiste Leroy, a prominent French scientist.
b) There is likely more danger of death and/or hospitalization in driving a vehicle than taking ANY vaccine, including the one(s) for COVID.
9) Even if someone gets vaccinated and gets a breakthrough case of COVID, the vaccine diminishes the impact and the person gets a milder case.
10) So to be safe, saxi can continue to live in his parents' basement, wrapped in tin foil, allowing life to go on and go by, as he munches his popcorn. The rest of us who understand life and understand RISK can continue to enjoy the ups and downs of life.
11) Anecdotal evidence: There are two teachers at my school who came down with COVID. One survived and one did not. The younger one died. To the best of my understanding, she was not vaccinated. The one who survived, a grandmother, returned after some 3 months out. When she did return, I talked to her about her experience. I asked her if she was vaccinated. (I assumed that she was NOT since she was out so long.) She told me she had been vaccinated. We agreed that if she did not get vaccinated, she too would have likely died of COVID.
Let me do my "John Hancock" touch for dds, so he won't miss this key conclusion:
12)
Bottom Line: saxi is again shown to be wrong, shown to LIE, and saxi is FULL OF SHIT.
