Not sure why everyone keeps saying the trials completed, or which link you mean, because we can go right to the primary source (clinicaltrials.gov) and see that all the vaccines are still in Phase 3 of FDA trials. Here are the links. Please

I don't know where you're getting your information from, but what I stated is very easy to validate and I'm completely correct. Here are the links to the actual FDA trials for the different major co vid vaccines on clinicaltr

Lack of socialized healthcare? The USA has at least 3 times as many people on government healthcare than the entire population of Canada (Medicare, Medicaid, the VA). The USA has the second- third-largest government-run healthcare system in

Yea, I unfortunately have a lot of friends and family still there, and almost all of them are not gonna take the vaccine and find the social environment very taxing. But, they are still OK, because they know we're never given any chall

This is incredibly misleading. I used to be a close follower of the pharma industry, and you're making it seem like FDA trials happen on molecules and formulations somewhat related to the proposed formulation and then are, like, transi

Oh, not very sure at all. However, I may have already have it, so that cat's out of the bag (and invalidates any reason to get the vaccine anyways). Or I may never get it. Taking the vaccine, which includes three brand new medical tech

As a Canadian who emigrated to the US, the attitude you so proudly display--ostracizing people who aren't convinced of a novel vaccine with zero long-term safety information--makes me so happy I live here.

Right, so how is it FUD if you simply want to avoid being part of a clinical trial? Vaccines take at least 7 years (usually 10ish) to complete long-term trials. For young people, the cost-benefit analysis isn't clear at all--much less

Large RCTs are considered the "gold standard" but you are outright misleading if you are saying that large RCTs are the SOLE definition of evidence in medical science. Or you know nothing about medical science. Observational trial

YouTube removed Dr. Pierre Kory's Senate testimony from back in May from its website, censoring it because it violated the guidelines against recommending ivermectin. Even if he was a total conspiracy nut, it's freaking Senate Tes

Are you kidding me? The "war" on drugs today is nothing like it was at all in the 90s. For the most obvious example, marijuana is legal to purchase for recreational use in dozens of states, with more coming.

It is shocking to me how often I hear the advice "go to therapy". Therapy presents its own risks, often never discussed. And it screams of a total lack of self confidence.

I visited a friend of mine out in Lancashire in the UK one time after I had just bought a home on the west coast. I mentioned that my home was quite old: It was a craftsman built in 1908. My friend quipped that his home was one of the newes

So your response to that is some experimental medical treatment that is still undergoing phase3 FDA trials? Why isn't the very obvious response a massive, tax-incentivized campaign to increase the health and immune system of Americans

Interesting. My grandfather died a few days after getting the "vaccine" (which isn't really a vaccine because it doesn't stop getting the illness or transmitting it). So did a bunch of other old guys he knew. Many such c

The link to Vit-D deficiency and worse covid outcomes is by now incredibly well-supported in the literature. That anybody thinks a lockdown is good advice is just evidence that, yes, the media is effective at controlling what appears to mos

That's a figment of the media. The "far right" and the huge collection of "white supremacists" that have been drummed up as some huge evil plot in America has, as far as I can tell, zero basis in reality. Note that

First, the book is a hilarious Kafka trap. It's explicit basis is this: All whites are racist, and any white that denies this is demonstrating "fragility", and therefore is even MORE racist than whites that admit they're

Your comment elides that Jeep exclusively markets these (afaik) to USPS for rural delivery drivers. Though they are widely available in the secondary market, are you sure they sell them directly to consumers?

You should write headlines for CNN. How does the fact that 2019 had a much much less deadly flu season fit into your narrative? And 2020 magically did away with the flu, eradicating this awful virus, plus reduced heart attacks massively.
