I think it’s fine if people are exercising caution with regard to the vaccine. They’re adopting the same mindset that the medical community possesses.
Certain people of the medical industry, yes, and it is how the industry operates when at its best. You're right. Sadly, the majority seem content to go-along-to-get-along and forego or even obfuscate concern, even from their peers. Only online am I seeing videos like these which voice scientific concern about the Covid vaccines. This one even has a million+ views. However with Silicon Valley's new "Vaccine Hesitancy" algorithm I wonder if such videos will get traction anymore.
Dr. Mike Yeadon is another name few remember (whose video you can find in the OP). He was warning about the Spike protein being dangerous very, very early on. I wonder how things would have been if he was given more consideration and his concerns given study rather than everyone just running in the same direction. Maybe they would have learned what they did about Covid and the Spike protein's inherent danger earlier, and then the vaccines may have been able to be reworked in a way to make them both effective and safer.
But now I'm speculating, since it's stated the pharmaceutical companies already tried to ensure the S proteins of their vaccines wouldn't cause trouble by staying put, and yet now we're seeing not just blood clots but heart inflammation. I just want more scrutiny where it counts and from whom it counts, from doctors and regulatory agencies not just the public. And I want people to be able to decide for themselves with full information, not be brow-beaten into things against their will by uber-vaxers and government mandates.
The point is we don’t demonize each other for leaning towards certain medical choices.
Exactly. We can poke fun but ultimately it's up to each individual to make their decision and voice their reason for it if they see fit.
I do believe the reason that other causes of myocarditis have been brought up is not to outright dismiss any concerns but to contextualize its occurrence.
You have a very optimistic view of it. lol I wish I could share the same, but after seeing the overall lack of discernment in the powers that be I can't. You're right that it should be brought up so people don't think it's some rare new disease burgeoning from the Covid vaccine, and heart health awareness is always good considering it's the leading cause of death in general, but I don't see anyone in the mainstream or in the medical community--aside from the outliers--accepting that the potential correlation warrants concern. If it warrants investigation and study it certainly warrants concern.
A causal link between the vaccine and myocarditis has not been definitively established. There may be other factors behind it.
True. I'm leaning heavy on my suspicion about the S protien of the vaccines until I see some doctors actually address it in relation to this issue and regarding the blood clots, but reasonable suspicion =/= factual answer. We need to be open to scrutinize and accept study results. I just hope the results aren't tainted by special interests or otherwise. The FDA, like the EPA, doesn't exactly have a spotless track record for that.
Again, the important questions are: is the severity of this myocarditis more harmful than the usual cases (from colds, from flu)?
I haven't heard of such an influx of reports regarding myocarditis from any cold or flu in such a short span of time, though. It was authorized less than a month earlier and now the reports are in the dozens.
Is the rate of myocarditis statistically unusual after receiving the vaccine as opposed to its rate in the population without vaccination?
GREAT question and one that better be part of the CDC's sincere investigation.
With regard to the blood clots and suspension of the vaccine, I would guess it’s because there were fatalities.
Fair point, but you see where I'm coming from, right? If we at all think this condition, inflammation of the heart, is correlated to the vaccines then we should pause vaccination, at least in young adults and children, until we get to review the results of the CDC's investigation. We definitely shouldn't have any mandates or massive push to vaccinate either.
All medical interventions come with benefits and risks.
Right, which is why I mentioned the risk analysis of those more endangered by the vaccine than by Covid. No doctor should be hand-waving this aside as a non-issue like that woman in the news report did.
The medical community can make the most optimal recommendations given the available information, but it’s ultimately up to us to accept or decline.
If the mandates weren't in place this last part would be easier.
I would hope people do their research, talk to their doctors, and seek out second opinions.
YES.
I also think it has to be said that due to the unusual circumstances of the pandemic, these vaccines are being held up to a level of scrutiny that is not typical with other vaccines
Actually they are entirely atypical of other vaccines. You can see the first video in the OP for how, and as I mentioned multiple times, the only real scrutiny seems to be coming from rare voices in medicine and the public (half of it). It's almost absent where it matters most--in research and and from regulatory agencies--which is why that commentary publication about the bias formed from emphasizing RRR and how "uncoordinated" the scientific trials are is important since it further shows how little attention and back-and-forth is being done. It's all cheers for the vaccines and that benefits no one.
Well, there's also a lot of partisan hackery going on but that helps no one.
I've been warning about BigPharma's shadiness and the lack of scrutiny since November of last year when I discovered that Pfizer was already shipping vaccines and the government was stockpiling them for use even before the FDA gave emergency authorization, and all this was being done despite Pfizer not at all having published their preliminary study for peer review. There's more info like this in the OP but it's important to recognize just how much has been overlooked and hand-waved as concerns from the start.
The emphasis on RRR is not exclusive to Covid vaccines. It’s common in public health information.
Very true but as I mentioned the Covid vaccines are very unique and we need as much balance and full information as possible about them, particularly because they didn't go through the rigorous testing vaccines normally do. Also with how they're being pushed on the public through various means, "Vax-ed or masked" for instance. Bias and imbalance here also influences legal code, like arrests.
These are arrests of people who went unmasked in certain areas. This kind of thing is directed by government powers which claim authority for the public's health and safety as informed by whatever the experts, studies and reports tell them. Scientific bias is never good, but here it directly effects everything too.
