I realize the vast majority of people on this board probably think I'm insane and possibly criminal at this point, but here goes.
Got it. I tend to think the most logical explanation for why the government and businesses are pushing for the vax is that they believe, based on the data, that it will reduce hospitalizations and deaths at a population level. They could be mistaken about that, but that would be the motive.
I'm open to another explanation. But the only alternative explanation I've heard that makes even a lick of sense is that it's all a big scam by big pharma. If that's the case... if our government is so captured by corporations that they're able to pull off a "scam" of this magnitude, then we have a bigger problem than vaccines. That would mean our entire political and economic system is broken beyond repair.
I'm sure reducing hospitalizations and deaths is the end goal, it just seems like a very "wishy-washy" way of accomplishing that. Mostly because of the blatant, in your face hypocrisy we see, constantly moving the goalposts, lack of information, etc. the list just goes on and on for me. If the vax is so effective, why are those who are protected, so fearful of those who aren't? So adamant about making sure everybody complies? I dont get it. Obama can have a massive, maskless birthday party, but our kids aren't allowed to play outside at recess without masks? The big shots at the Emmys are exempt from the mask mandate, but I cant run into the gas station for a bottle of water without masking up.
I agree if any of the "conspiracy theories" have any weight to them, that's probably the one of the more likely ones. I would lean it more towards "Big Pharma" trying to walk that fine line by trying to help and trying to drag it out to make as much money as possible. I don't think there's some major scam going on, but I do feel like there is some level of deception here - in the interest of money.
Like I said I feel the same way about ivermectin, the thing before that, the malaria pill I believe? Are they worth looking into? Sure. Why not look into every possibility until it can be ruled out? Do I believe at this point, its viable? Not anymore than the vaxxes being offered by Big Pharma. I honestly dont even like to use the words "Big Pharma" because I feel like it immediately makes me sound like a tin foil hat conspiracist who believes Phizer is using these shots to give Fauci complete mind control over the American population.
That's literally been the mission statement of every pharmaceutical and medical insurance company in history. That's why I personally believe all, or at least the vast majority of both drug development and medical insurance should be publicly owned and not for profit.
People will disagree and call that commie shit. Fine. But then they can't bitch when in the middle of a global pandemic the only place to get life saving drugs are from money grubbing corporations whose primary concern is generating enough profit so their CEO's can buy a new yacht every summer, not patient's health. That's literally the world they want.
I don't like that "Big Pharma" is making vaccines, monoclonal antibodies, etc. But in the world we've built, they're the only game in town.
Of course, pharmaceutical and insurance companies are in business to make money. Shit, hospitals are too. They're not in the business of losing it. I dont believe that they should be government ran, because in my experience, nearly everything government ran is a shit show - it's extremely rare that I've been impressed by anything the gov. has their hands in.
That said, yes, I think the pharm. and ins. companies as a whole have way too much power and control. Way too much influence in Washington. I'm not going to pretend like I have a better solution in mind, cause I don't - right now I just know I dont trust them either.
Ultimately IMO money is motivating the majority of this whole thing. I wouldn't be surprised, after the 5th or 6th round of boosters, they came out and said, oops, sorry guys, this isn't nearly as effective as we initially thought. Turns out, we had it wrong and have to try this OTHER new technology to combat the new hulu zulu pooloo variant!
The best way I know to contrast fake news versus reality/truth is to watch some of the videos of the school board debates on masks and the shot. I've watched a bunch and to summarize....MANY LOCAL nurses and doctors will come to the podium to present what they know and are living through in the hope of convincing folks that masks and vaccines work. Some of the nurses and doctors will cry when speaking at the podium because of what they have seen and how worn out and frustrated they are. In one case a nurse, trying to get her point across broke down describing 3 cases of unvaxed pregnant women who were put on vents so the child could be delivered before the mother passed. Her exact words were "these mothers will never hold their children". I cried like a baby watching her speak. Inevitably one of these health professionals will say "The unvaccinated are more than 95% of those hospitalized and dying. If you're having any doubts how real this is you should spend a few hours at the hospital with me". Seriously....watch a couple of these school board debates with your computer handy so you can fact check things. Bottom line...If you contrast the anti's facts and presentation versus the doctors and nurses it's pretty clear who is putting out reality and who isn't.
Here's my personal contribution.....when I got my 1st Pfizer shot my penis grew by 4 inches. When I got the 2nd shot my penis grew another 10 inches and I started having uncontrolled erections and orgasms every hour. It's been 6 months since the second shot and its still happening. Even when I'm sleeping! Its a good thing I have access to an unlimited supply of bed sheets. By the way, my real name is Mike Lindell.
I'll leave it to you to decide which of the above is Fake News.....
Valid points - but the flip side of that, is for as many nurses as you will see advocating for the vax with stories like that, there are just as many going the opposite way. Plenty of examples of issues with pregnancy associated with the vaccine. Mothers who will never be able to hold their children, allegedly because of the vaccine. There are medical professionals making presentations that contradict the "mainstream" medical opinions. They're instantly discounted and assumed to be wrong - the question is why? How can we be so sure, so quickly, that they are wrong?
