All things I already noted along with moral hazard and other factors.
Read the book. I promise it won't hurt you. Otherwise you're simply arguing out of ignorance. Have you considered the possibility that your understanding of "the current status" may be incomplete? Or is this yet another area of your expansive expertise?
Thanks, but not all sources are of equal value/trustworthyness. Kennedy would be very far down the list, to be honest he has a track record that flat out disqualifies him as a credible source.
Agreed.
Disagree.
I've been skeptical my entire adult life. I don't need to be part of any "movement" to smell BS. So in your opinion it is "invalid" and a "conspiracy theory" that medical science is largely corrupted by big pharma and a handful of "philanthropists" with clear conflicts of interest. Big pharma just has a few "issues." Good luck.
True. But notwithstanding, there are far fewer clinical trials in Africa than in developed countries, possibly because the global medical/pharmaceutical community is aware that improperly conducted trials may not withstand scrutiny. So the statement that "much of human medical trial work is done in Africa" is, as usual, unsubstantiated imaginative bullshit.
You're right, of course.

No, thanks. I've had Covid once for certain and another time early on when testing wasn't available. My immune system beats the common cold every time. Natural immunity needs to be exercised to work. Maybe when I'm 75+ I'll reconsider. We should have actual long-term safety data by then.
little weird that they got a billion dollar grant like a week ago from the government... or not....
Why do you think this virus and its variants will be any more dangerous than other coronaviruses that cause the "common cold?" OC43 probably caused millions of deaths in the pandemic of 1899-90 but now is just one of several nuisance viruses. I guess the constant fearmongering even worked on members of the international skeptical society. Of course if Covid-19 were engineered we might have cause for concern, but Fauci promised that didn't happen. Trust "the science."
Maybe just a side effect of not having pharma commercials bombarding you when the tube is on. Jeez... are there cameras in the tvs so they know when your sitting down?..lol
Can't stand and don't watch commercials, with the only exception being forced to in the cinema. Adblockers installed everywhere. With the general information overflow today commercials on top would truly drive me nuts.
With a few exceptions (e.g., polio), most such diseases were on the decline prior to vaccines. Why? Having understood the mechanisms of contagion, hygiene and sanitation were improved which made diseases like cholera much less likely.
Or you can make a proven safe vaccine and _offer_ it to the public (not force it on them). Making experimental vaccines and giving the manufacturers blanket liability protection while forcing most of humanity to take it is criminal. A person should get to decide for themselves what happens to their own body. I seem to recall the left once supported that basic tenet.
