" to the extent I have looked I see no clear benefit"
The elimination/near elmination of polio? rubella? measles? Soon COVID? Etc..
" the burden is proof is on the vaccine to show that is near completely safe"
They do.
"My guess - only one 1 or 2 are effective, rest are either useless or harmful ... I could be wrong."
Yes, completely wrong.
"don't forget to look at the drugs Thalidomide ..."
There are thousands upon thousands of drugs. Some are going to fail, many will be misrepresented. Like everything in life. It doesn't mean they don't work.
"My default today is to mistrust anything that medicine has to offer."
This is irrationally conspiratorial, indicative of a broader problem.
"who in their right mind does not want to protect their health?"
The above statements are not so 'right of mind' unfortunately.
There are no Lizard People trying to control us, and most of the people in non-political power are doing their jobs reasonably on some level. There are some systematic failures (i.e. Walmart over-subscribing oxycontin) but most of us are not surprised when that happens.
Approved vaccines are overwhelmingly more effective than they are detrimental, i.e. the 'balance of outcomes' is monumentally positive.
- dennis_jeeves 6y ago>The elimination/near elimination of polio? rubella? measles? Soon COVID? Etc.. All of them have alternative explanations not found in mainstream media. ( and no I won't put forth the material for you. You will have to look for it) >>"My guess - only one 1 or 2 are effective, rest are either useless or harmful ... I could be wrong." >Yes, completely wrong. So I presume you looked/read at many of these vaccines closely, way beyond what is found is mainstream media? >most of the people in non-political power are doing their jobs reasonably on some level. This is where I have changed my mind over the years. People may be sincere but not competent.
- meowface 6y agoOut of curiosity, do you believe in anything publicly considered a "conspiracy theory"? (For example, "9/11 was an inside job", "Holocaust wasn't real/deaths were unintentional due to disease", "Sandy Hook shooting wasn't real", " COVID-19 isn't real/isn't nearly as dangerous as reported", "US politicians rape and murder children in Satanic rituals".)
- dennis_jeeves 6y agomeowface, most things that you mentioned above cannot be personally verified ( except for the holocaust and COVID 19), so 'believe' is a strong word. It's simple - I don't trust the media or gov anymore. It's difficult to segregate fact from fiction. With certain aspects of medicine/health it is relatively easy to verify, if one listens to the renegade doctors, experiment with diets. ( the US dietary guideline pyramid - can actually be inverted, I'm not kidding) There is a larger point I'm trying to make: it's easy to believe the media, no work is needed, but to investigate take time/effort/perseverance which I have done to the best possible extent.
