Well this is a semantic and socio-political question and not a scientific/medical one, but ok. Generally, the term there was "antivaxxer" and referred to people who were vocally opposed to vaccines, or in some cases who those

I don't understand the criticism here. The article is an analysis of messaging from government and media. The small number of scientific and medical claims present in it (such as "people who've taken COVID vaccines still get

I used the term "they" very carefully. It's only an "upside" to a very select group of people.

On the upside, the force they're left with is much more heavily skewed to order followers and regime loyalists.

Ah, good to know that this was the input being referenced when health authorities were issuing proclamations that there was definitely 0% chance of any impact on fertility from the mRNA vaccines. They didn't just have a broad, open-end

If this is happening in 42% of women, how could it possibly have been missed in the clinical trials?

There are some sizeable demographics for whom this may not be the case: https://papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cfm?abstract_id=4125239 > The excess risk of serious adverse events of special interest surpassed the risk

> What the fuck is "natural immunity" when we have had 5 variants of omnicron and infection doesn't provide immunity to the other variants? It still provides a very high degree of protection against severe disease, which

by MuchoMaas 4y ago
One theory I have heard to explain this is that the vaccine is simply suppressing immune response, which helps prevent the cytokine storm that led to severe disease. Of course, this might also make infection more likely, which may explain w

by MuchoMaas 4y ago
It seems like you're under a misapprehension that there is some mutually exclusive tradeoff of "vaccine vs infection" to be made, but this is not the case. It's well established now that natural immunity is more effectiv

My point is that your continuing assertions that an unvaccinated infection must result in higher levels of spike protein exposure than Covid-shots-plus-the-eventual-infection-you'll-still-get-anyway is not really backed up by anythin

by MuchoMaas 4y ago
A viral infection doesn't last forever either. There may be no reproduction with mRNA, but an infection is limited by the control exerted by the immune response. To use an absurd example to demonstrate the point, if you used a dose 100

> Such studies should compare the risk to the covid-19 infection itself vs. the risk to vaccination and infection to the risk of vaccination. I'm not sure why that comparison would be relevant, since vaccination does not zero out
