Yeah not a great look.
- ineedasername 5y agoThat death has since been investigated and determined to be natural causes. https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.miamiherald.com/news/local/community/miami-dade/miami-beach/article250539119.html https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.miamiherald.com/news/local/...
- hellgas00 5y agoThat's not exactly what the article you post says; "Dr. Gregory Michael’s official cause of death stemmed from complications with immune thrombocytopenia, or ITP, a blood disorder caused by an immune reaction, after getting the Pfizer vaccine, the Miami-Dade County Medical Examiner Department said."
- slownews45 5y agoWhat's interesting is that an immune reaction is the GOAL of a vaccine. How did they turn this into "natural causes". BTW I'm fully vaxed and looking forward to my booster. But I'm not dumb enough to imagine there is no side effect to a vacine that is designed to generate something in my blood to help me fight covid. Blood / heart stuff seems like a somewhat natural area to find occasional side effects?
- cxf12 5y agoYou don't have to imagine it. Side affects are tracked by the CDC.
- ctoth 5y agoDoes anyone else enjoy the linguistic contortions this article must engage in to spin this poor doctor's cause of death as "natural?" Even writing this comment makes me feel like some sort of weird anti-vaccer but seriously what the heck, words have meanings and I am going to push back against this! Sometimes, vaccines, just like literally anything else, have negative side effects. It sucks, but to pretend that oh, this was just a natural death? This seriously makes people look insane. What the heck possibly motivated you to post this and spin it like that? Did you read the link you posted? Or did you merely post this because it was sufficiently ridiculous and you are making a meta point?
- hellbannedguy 5y agoThere are already too many people out there afraid to get a vaccine. Unless we know for sure, why stir up the pot especially with speculation. A few weeks ago I got an email from an acquaintance that was in perfect health, and young, from Marin General hospital. They put him on a ventaliator because of Covid. He is out now, but will be on blood thinners for 6 months. He had blood clots in his lungs. 23, and an exercise nut. Every member of his family were anti-vax, until they saw him through the glass. They all have the first shot of Pfizer.
- ctoth 5y agoI mean obviously anyone with any grasp of numbers will look at the balance of probabilities, note that Vaccines have an incredibly low risk compared to Covid, and get vaccinated. This does not mean that we should literally lie about those risks when they do occur! When you think you're smarter than someone and so you're going to shape their information in such a way that they do what you want them to? This is called manipulation. It is a dark art. it is evil. Don't do it.
- deworms 5y agoDepending on the demographic you're in the vaccine risk might not be worth it.
- classified 5y ago…as a result of their enragement-optimizing algo. Now they are getting a report showing the effects of their own manipulations. What a surprise!
