At the time people were talking about restricting COVID visitors, we really didn't know if we were dealing with something most similar to a seasonal cold, a serious flu, or the Spanish flu. > They are generally isolated and/or

VAERS is a super early signal self-reported database, why on earth would anyone link to it for public consumption? Should they also link to reddit.com/r/hypochondriac? VAERS should exist and researcher should (and do) pay attentio

No, you really don't need to "blindly trust" the entities doing the studies. I work in clinical trials. I know how they work. You do not.

It is absolutely good enough lol. We have effective statistical certainty in the results. Tell me: how do you know the food you eat is safe? How about the water? The air? Do you take any other medicines? All of those are less well-understoo

Of course it's relevant! A country that siphons up data and then arrests you for saying mean things about Dear Leader is a lot, a lot worse than a country that siphons up data and then basically can't do anything with it. I don&

Have you never heard of the Taliban? Or, you know, our beloved and enlightened ally Saudi Arabia who hacked a journalist to death for mean words?

As demonstrated, the people who struggle with this just don't actually have any actual curiosity. "Par for the course" indeed! Here's a step by step guide for you: 1. Google "Pfizer covid vaccine studies CDC" 2

All of the required data is shared. Please identify what pieces of data are missing for what specific drugs/trials.

That's why they say: "these medicines are found to be safe and effective after thorough study, and for patients who meet X Y Z criteria, they are worth taking, and for patients who meet P Q R criteria, you should consult your doct

No, not really. The correct claim is "all evidence is imperfect." But an FDA approved, Phase 3, double-blinded, placebo-controlled randomized trial is the strongest form of evidence that we have for anything at all.

by estearum 4mo ago
No? My point is the data is all available and always has been.

This is not true lol.

Ah I see, I missed that way up the thread you were scoping this to vaccine mandates .

100% of people who Google something like "how do we know the covid vaccines are good" would discover that the tool we use to figure that out is called a "clinical trial." Then they can look up "covid vaccine clinica

But the trolley problem doesn't make sense here. The statistically correct thing to do, in nearly all cases for nearly all people, both for themselves and for their community (separately!), was to get vaccinated.

You're aware that most drugs are approved without 5-year data, correct? Why did you draw the line there? Why not wait for 10-year data? What about 20- or 50- or 100-year data? Do we need 75-year data for Viagra too? 30-year data for as

You can look up the clinical trial results

by estearum 4mo ago
It probably means that you take the statistical evidence produced by massive double-blinded placebo-controlled randomized clinical trials as actual evidence

I haven't seen anyone at all dispute that NIH funded EcoHealth lol

> Similar for vaccines, just give us the numbers clearly and upfront. You are aware that literally anyone can go and literally find exactly these numbers, correct? The trial results are published!

Yes, they were at low risk. They were actually at far lower risk of harm from the vaccines. It was and remains statistically correct to vaccinate young people.

Are you saying what people are hoping to achieve with stupid goals? Because yeah, obviously. But the point is that they're stupid, so they don't achieve that, and that failure is 100% knowable in most scenarios.

Wow, is GP afraid of being sanctioned? Big if true, but I doubt it.

That's actually not beside the point as it relates to GP's comment.

If you think the US has an "abysmal" track record on this, what words would you use to describe China's track record?
