Don't trust humans. Wait for scientific studies and replication. This is the scientific method.

When was the last time you saw a study actually replicated and not just "peer reviewed" and referenced?

  This is COVID, not some rat behavior study. It will be replicated.

    Slide into the DMs when that happens

I would also be suspect of any Biotech company announcing a "need" for more/variation product of theirs. But yes. Allow consensus to build before jumping to conclusions when we don't have a time pressure on that front.

Except the "scientific method" has become untrustworthy and all about money and politics any way you want to look at it. We can talk about drugs that don't work, there are several. Here is the latest article: https://www.statnews.com/2021/06/10/third-member-of-fda-expert-committee-resigns-over-controversial-alzheimers-therapy-decision/ https://www.statnews.com/2021/06/10/third-member-of-fda-expe... but several exist for depression, TAMIFLU, a cancer drug, and so many other things that don't really work. And if you didn't know, the FDA doesn't test the drugs, the drug companies hire an outside company which wants their continued business. I'll never forget a drug rep that came out and said that they cheated on testing for an antidepressant. Lets not forget JUUL buying a whole issue of a scientific journal and filling it with lies or how smoking is good for you. Oh yeah and according to leftists everything is racists like freeways and math. Yeah keep trusting them. Every one of their (leftist) studies is a lie.

Right, but in the case of a vaccine, you wait, you die.

  Not if you're under 60 and not obese

    Tell that to my old colleague in Brazil, dead at 38 from COVID. Or to one of my first co-workers, back in 2005, dead last year at 45. None of them obese, the 45 years old guy was running half-marathons. Please, don't say this kind of shit, it hurts people like me who don't fit your fake narrative for no good reason.

      What was their comorbidity?

      I’m sorry you lost a couple of colleagues too young. But statistical anomalies need to be notated as such. I don’t warn people not to golf due to the risk of lightning strike

      I don't need to tell it to you. I and everyone I know have gotten covid and are doing fine. Covid is not the bubonic plague. Its not even the Spanish flu. The data show that already.

        Maybe I know a lot more people than you, but my mother's therapist, my dentist, and a coworker's father died from COVID. The great majority of cases don't die, but given it's extremely contagious, it makes up for it with numbers.
