Hum, okay I see what you mean. I think maybe it's premiditated to conclude that it's untrusworthy yet, but I wouldn't blame anyone from being a bit skeptical and double checking with say the Canadian and European health institutions to see if the advice is similar, and if not that might need to trigger some investigation into why they'd differ so much? And I don't know, throw in China and South Korea and Russia in there as well, in theory, all country should advise pretty similar things, medical science is mostly universal so any major discrepancy would be disconcerting a bit I admit.
That said, I also don't want to fall into some fallacy of nirvana, I don't believe any governement ever existed in a perfect state with zero bias and total absence of corruption, sometime all we have is good enough to go by.
And I also wouldn't want to fall in the fallacy of inflation of conflict, where because there are scientific disagreement in the medical community, especially given a very new very unknown problem such as Covid, that no conclusion can be reached or that the legitimacy of that field of knowledge is questionable.
- anon9001 6y agoI agree with you entirely, and I think that will be my plan. It could be a problem though if US society is back to "normal" with a "vaccine" that ends up rushed through some how, and I'm one of a few crazy holdouts that don't trust it. Would any of our Russian comrades reading along care to weigh in on how they're feeling about getting the vaccine on release day?

As someone fairly familiar with Gamaleya I agree completely, they are known to be responsible for some "bullshit-micyn" drugs as we call it here, so I'd hesitate to be an early adopter for their vaccine. (also you'd get funny looks if you called someone comrade in Russia, just saying)
