It ends with covid vaccines because that is the only pandemic that is currently raging across the globe. The politicians we elect democratically makes the decisions.

And long covid? The two people I know who had longer term side effects were quite healthy. Also by some definitions America is “mostly fat people” so your point is not that meaningful to begin with.

Even the bad ones that are terrible and below replacement level are worth it? I don’t think so. Some coaches are “worth it”, many are not.

There are more PHEVs than there has ever been. I know because I’m researching them to buy one. I can’t imagine how the success of Tesla has possibly not had the effect of speeding up legacy manufacturers to create PHEVs. Tesla led the way

No it doesn’t. Read the study. People being hospitalized with covid-like symptoms is the broader population and those with prior confirmed covid infections and those with prior confirmed vaccines within that population are the sample grou

Your interpretation of the study is wrong (and probably shows your internal bias in this matter). I’m not suggesting it is a perfect study, but the methodology makes sense. The point is that if somebody gets hospitalized for covid-like sic

There is a more recent U.S. study [1], which comes to a different conclusion, and neither of these studies take into account boosters (or a longer delay between shots), which by all accounts improves vaccine effectiveness by ~10x. Being vac

There is little evidence right now that immunity through a natural infection is better than immunity from a vaccine. Given the strains circulating now I don’t think your concern is valid. Vaccines are better and less risky than having your

If virologists weren't talking about it, how did you learn about it? Do you know enough about virology (or immunology as this would be) that I should listen to you over them? If the vaccines don't work, why do people in the real

Vaccinated people have far, far fewer cases of severe covid and far fewer deaths. What else do you want them to look at?

The mildness or severity of symptoms is determined after the period of maximum contagiousness. What you are talking about sounds nice in theory but it doesn’t really add up based on how this virus works. If anything there is a pretty stron

And what is the alternate reality where they don’t get the vaccine and also don’t ever get covid? Some sickness and pain is going to happen, is a choice between minor, temporary side effects or gambling with a covid infection. The virus is

Every single person I know has gotten the vaccine at least twice, some three times, and not a single person has had any persistent side effects. I think the problem with saying the vaccine has all these side effects is that in placebo contr

The past vaccine timeline was driven mostly by monetary concerns and not safety ones. Companies did not want to risk spending tons of money on large trials until they were sure all the smaller ones were bulletproof. Once you get to the poi
