- peteradio 4y agoThe latest bivalent booster was released without testing except on mice. I understand the apprehension to believe it.
- slater 4y agoI wonder if there was any reason it was released without testing except on mice?

- ralph84 4y agoIf mRNA vaccines are so extremely well understood, why was so much misinformation spread by public health officials about them? We were told: - The mRNA and spike protein break down within a few days. Now studies are finding them still in the body months later and the CDC silently memory-holed the statement on their site about them being short-lived. - The mRNA and spike protein remain localized to the injection site. Now studies are finding them all over the body. - The spike protein is harmless. Now studies are finding it's toxic.
- throwaway5959 4y agoSource on any of those claims?
- Commodore63 4y agoYes? Because trials would make the formulation less timely, and therefore less efficacious. They've done this on the flu shot for YEARS. Or are you implying that a reason for fast tracking must necessarily be nefarious?
- tazedsoul 4y agoSomething doesn’t have to be necessarily true for it to have a high probability of being true.
- Commodore63 4y agoA vast conspiracy theory involving tens of thousands of actors isn't possible.
- peteradio 4y agoTens of thousands of people show up to bag groceries each day, doesn't make it a vast conspiracy. Some peoples job is to do bad science and shill for big pharma, go figure.
- drewrv 4y agoThe big reason is to make it available before the fall, when people spend more time indoors and spread it more. Also you don't really need to test it, it's known to be safer than the disease.

- drewrv 4y agoIf your claim is that "the vaccine" was only tested on mice and you don't clarify that you're only talking about the updated variant, not the original, then you're being purposefully misleading.
- aliswe 4y agoUh ... Im pro vax, and vaxxed, but this is pretty shocking. Take a look from the other side for a second.
- dekhn 4y agoSorry, no, it's completely accurate to say the new FDA boosters weren't tested on humans. Period. I'm not complaining that this happened (deliberate tradeoff) but it definitely did occur and people saying that are not necessarily being misleading.
- drewrv 4y agoYes I agree that it's accurate to say "the new FDA boosters weren't tested on humans"! My point is that if you leave out "the new FDA boosters" then you're being misleading. It's important context.
- no-dr-onboard 4y agoHe's a highly published and referenced, board licensed cardiologist. From his website: > Dr. McCullough has broadly published on a range of topics in medicine with > 1000 publications and > 600 citations in the National Library of Medicine. . . Dr. McCullough is a founder and current president of the Cardiorenal Society of America, an organization dedicated to bringing cardiologists and nephrologists together to work on the emerging problem of cardiorenal syndromes. His works have appeared in the New England Journal of Medicine, Journal of the American Medical Association, Lancet, British Medical Journal and other top-tier journals worldwide.
- brnt 4y agoMDs with hundreds or thousands of publications is usually not a good sign. Factory scientists tend to publish too many tiny or extremely incremental studies. I know of one who's expert at smearing the results of a study over half dozen papers.

- zackees 4y agoNatural infection gives broad spectrum protection against multiple antigens present on SarsCov2. The mRNA vaccines took the toxic part, the spike protein, and gave that to everyone, but only after Pfizer gave themselves full immunity for any damage it caused.
- jleyank 4y agoThis is the kind of thing that Elon can “fix”. Let anybody publish anything so that Twitter (quickly) heads to lowest common denominator.
- zackees 4y agoExcept this doctor is one of the most published Cardiologists in the world.
- peteradio 4y agoWhy did this comment take 9 hours to show up? I mean, I've been on this thread and now this appears as a new comment with a 9 hour dating.
- the_only_law 4y agoGP has -22 karma and I wouldn’t be surprised if they have some sort of shadow ban, but the post later got vouched. Did you have showdead on?
- peteradio 4y agoThought I did, but did not, thanks!

- Jimmc414 4y ago“One of the saddest lessons of history is this: If we’ve been bamboozled long enough, we tend to reject any evidence of the bamboozle. We’re no longer interested in finding out the truth. The bamboozle has captured us. It’s simply too painful to acknowledge, even to ourselves, that we’ve been taken. Once you give a charlatan power over you, you almost never get it back.” - Carl Sagan, The Demon-Haunted World: Science as a Candle in the Dark
- peteradio 4y agoLinks to the sources claiming his misinformation: [1] https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/07/right-wing-vaccine-rebellion-on-campus https://www.vanityfair.com/news/2021/07/right-wing-vaccine-r... From [1] he says "Unless we really have a compelling case, no one under age 30 should receive any one of these vaccines." Hardly sounds unreasonable to me much less misinformation. [2] https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/vaccines-are-a-safer-alternative-for-acquiring-immunity-compared-to-natural-infection-and-covid-19-survivors-benefit-from-getting-vaccinated-contrary-to-claims-by-peter-mccullough/ https://healthfeedback.org/claimreview/vaccines-are-a-safer-... From [2] they do not give an actual quote of him but undoubtedly a bastardized paraphrasing. [3] https://factcheck.afp.com/us-cardiologist-makes-false-claims-about-covid-19-vaccination https://factcheck.afp.com/us-cardiologist-makes-false-claims... From [3] they rebut his claims that healthy people under 50 years do not NEED the vaccine for their own benefit by claiming they were the primary spreaders in the summer of 2020 (prior to vaccine availability) which is quite the non-sequitur. None of these factchecks are compelling. Even so, I'd argue doctors should be able to voice their opinions without reprisals and slanders. By cutting off the debate you stall out anyone already on the fence but open to discussion.
- jleyank 4y agoUntil omicron appeared in late 2021 there was a compelling case for vaccination and other steps to hinder Covid transmission. Health systems are still trying to deal with the overload and burnout from earlier Covid. Fortunately, current Covid is on the order of flu and hopefully it stays that way. It’s still there and spreading easily but current variants seem ok.
- StanislavPetrov 4y agoThank god the millennials working at Twitter have the wisdom, grace and benevolence to determine who the rest of us stupid plebes are allowed to listen to so we aren't exposed to any dangerous or offensive ideas.
