Okay, let's pretend that's true for a second. How many children have died of COVID-19? How many people have supposedly died of COVID-19 vaccines in comparison to the over 7 million people that have died worldwide to the disease itself? Should we just ban all medications if people can potentially die from them? Because if that's the case, we might as well ban all of modern medicine.

It's honestly to the point that whenever anyone says they are worried about "protecting the children" I immediately discount everything that follows. And it's so incredibly stupid that when politicians use that excuse it works more often than not. The FDA under Trump is as reliable on public health as Joe Rogan.

I'll never understand the anti medicine POV from some of the rich. Even if you want the best possible medical care all to yourself, you still need a fucking shitload of guinea pigs to know all possible effects of medicine. All kinds, not just whatever happens to ail them at a given point. What heals most can kill some, and you need data to know the difference to find out why

Sure you will. Just look at their investments and what businesses they have stakes in.

It's a lot more pricy to perpetually treat people for symptoms than to cure the of the underlying cause, and when the healthcare system is "pay up or die," the odds are that they'll make a tidy profit.

surely the proof would be in the announcement of the link, because anything else would just be crazy?

In the memo on Friday, Dr. Vinay Prasad claimed a new review of records linked 10 children’s deaths to the Covid vaccine. “These deaths are related to vaccination (likely/probable/possible attribution made by staff," Prasad wrote. What to know about the new CDC deputy director who has been critical of COVID vaccines No information about how the conclusions were reached was shared in the memo, nor were they made public or published in a peer-reviewed journal.

Everyone, "If it's true, show us and that's that. It is true."

Anything from the Trump administration, "Trust us."

"Yeah, or no trust even needed, just show us."

"No. Just trust us."

"Ooooor... How about just show us?

"No. Stop being ridiculous."

The default stance is always; it is not real if there is no evidence to the claim. It's not like it's about who's right and who's wrong—it'd be cool if Santa were real—its just that belief is pretending something is real when nothing has been shown to indicate it. People that are happy with "trust me, bro" are wayward.
