    Indeed it is. The problem is: you think you are challenging other's beliefs with message board posts from message boards that explicitly tell you not to believe the information on them. The reality is that most information is challenging your beliefs, forcing you to go to more and more insane sources to protect your beliefs.

    The wingnuts warn you away from findings that assault your beliefs. It’s the hive mind screeching “Look at what he said! HIDE!!!”

    There were no findings in your quote. You are just desperately trying to rationalize your need to believe in it. And come up with a way to hide from actual findings in things like scientific articles.

    It wasn’t my quote. It was a former virologist. It’s one of the reasons he’s a *former* virologist.

    This is like saying the dubious understanding that the earth revolves around the sun is thousands of years old.

    It's empirically true. You can take anthracis bacteria in isolation and get isolated spores that cause anthrax. It's empirically, repeatably true.

    Anthrax is a made up disease. It is empirically true that bacteria does not cause disease. Again, demolishing Pasteur ...

    Remember how, early in pan-panic, the media was holding up Taiwan as a lesson to the world ? Deaths are going through the roof there. No explanation given ...

    No reference of data, no link. Is this from some random blog?

    Culled from CDC data by Kyle Lamb, a systems analyst who believes in viruses. Shows excess deaths explaining, over all age groups, and not from ‘Covid.’ His source ...

    Two Years of U.S. COVID-19 Vaccines Have Prevented Millions of Hospitalizations and Deaths

    TOPLINES
    • A new analysis finds that in the two years since the first U.S. patient received a COVID-19 vaccine, the country’s vaccination program has prevented more than 18 million hospitalizations and more than 3 million deaths
    • The U.S. COVID vaccination program has saved the U.S. more than $1 trillion in medical costs, and has preserved hospital resources, kept children in school, and allowed for reopening of businesses and other activities

    Glad we have a governor willing to fight for what is right. Unfortunately the coverup and protection for these companies and leaders who pushed the one size fits all approach will likely prevail.

    “WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (WFLA) — Gov. Ron DeSantis and Florida Surgeon General Dr. Joseph Ladapo will hold a roundtable on vaccine accountability for the COVID-19 mRNA shots.

    The roundtable was titled the “Public Health Integrity Committee,” and included multiple medical and health academia specialists who spoke about risks from the COVID-19 vaccines and expressed concerns about the politicization of medical science during the pandemic….”

    In 1976, during a ‘swine flu epidemic’, Americans were outraged that some 25 deaths were being attributed to the vaccine.

    Fast forward to 2022: point out that vaccine adverse effects higher, by an order of magnitude, and what you get: “Enough already. Time to move on. And get off my lawn!”

    This sounds like grandstanding when you consider DeSantis is very close friends with the founder and CEO of CDR Maguire who the state contracted to run their covid vaccination sites. I wonder what deals were made in that relationship because they must have made a crap ton of money considering what they were paying us to administer the vaccines and regeneron infusions/injections.

    Well, that can't be right. Vaccines - saving lives? Florida needs to investigate. And so they will. Performative assclownery by a master.

    At least people killed by the vaccine don’t have to worry about catching the virus!

    Florida has been and continues to be the gold standard when it comes to Covid Policy in this country. The cover up will never allow reality to be seen. It is medical malpractice to push these shots onto young children based on the data and where we are at. Yet we protect big pharma and not just look the other way but push on regardless of science and data outside of places like Florida. The SADS and daily unexpected deaths in the mainstream should be a real concern. I have multiple anecdotal concerns as well (one being extremely personal). But the real issue is not only those kind of safety concerns. It is the reality that Covid is not that dangerous to most people. In fact it is far less dangerous today. Yet in this country all we hear from the federal level is take the shot. No discussion on seroprevalence. No discussion on age. No discussion on risk factor. Just take the jab. It is the antithesis of medicine. But propaganda works. And it is on display.

    We are one of the few places in the world still trying to jab young children (might be the only one in the world which is crazy to think about). Thank goodness we have Ladapo and DeSantis who understand that is terrible medicine and damaging public health.
