InterManager frustration at finding government body to authorise vaccine purchase:

That is crazy they can’t find a government to authorize the deal.

For those who don’t want to get the Covid vaccine. Do you remember when you were young and you got Polio? You mean you didn’t get Polio? You know why? It’s because your parents believed in science and cared for you and got you the vaccine. So grow up and get the Covid vaccine and make sure your children get it as soon as it is available for them.

Funny how free beers, cheeseburgers, and weakly cobbled-together guilt trips are needed to coerce people to take experimental vaccines, er, I mean gene therapy injections, in the midst of such a ‘deadly pandemic’

The vaccine you are talking about for Polio and the shot you are getting for COVID, work in entirely different ways. Thus, it demonstrates that you, like so many others, don’t even know what shot you got or why. Yes, “follow the science” indeed! The COVID shot does NOT prevent you from “getting” COVID like the Polio vaccine prevented you from getting Polio.

So before you point your finger at everyone else, make sure you know what it is you are scolding people for.

Not trying to be argumentative. But curious, can you point to a definitive document that states the COVID shots are “safe and effective” with the qualifier that it NOT be from the Pharma companies that produce them. If they are still under “Emergency Use Authorization” (EUA) granted by the Federal gov’t, by definition, that absolves the drug makers from any liability, correct? So if in fact the drugs are ‘safe and effective’, why are they still under the EUA?

Perhaps …

But there is a lot of factual evidence out there that gives one pause. But you have to be quick to find it, that is, if you even care to look.

I’m not a scientist. I’m amazed how many people out there think that “they” are. I’m still NOT vaccinated yet for the simple reason I’m choosing to learn more before I take the plunge.

I have spoken to a few medical professionals and listened to many more, and have read enough from other scientists who are brave enough offer a different opinion than what the gov’t and Big Pharma want you to believe. It’s not about being an “anti-vax” person. It’s about making a choice. I have taken all the vaccines my doctor has recommended, my whole life, especially as needed for work travel. No problem with that.

The COVID shot is NOT a regular vaccine.

Here’s one example of a differing opinion from a pretty smart guy:

https://duckduckgo.com/?q=Michael+Yeadon&t=brave&iax=videos&ia=videos&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DQ0DR5Z1MpdU

This guys knows more about COVID than everybody on this thread combined. He worked at Pfizer. I wouldn’t classify him as a fear-monger or lunatic. But he definitely has a different opinion.

As I said, the info is out there, you just have to look. And it makes you wonder why there is such an effort to remove any contrarian opinion from the public view??

In fact, as I am writing this post, trying to point you to Dr. Michael Yeadon’s ample statements about COVID in general and the vaccine, YouTube won’t show his posts. But you CAN find them on a search engine using DuckDuckGo, which does NOT filter results (like YouTube does, hhhmmm???)

Even this board apparently struggles to link to the YouTube video.

Are you arguing against a Canadian cartoon??
Maybe they have a point though, if you look for anything that agree with your point of view you can find it on the WWW. You obviously have.

BTW; I’m fully vaccinated by Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine. No side effects experienced.

Pfizer applied for full vaccine approval about 2 weeks ago. If they were not confident in their data about the efficacy/safety of their vaccine why would they bother applying for full approval?

Can you point any of us in the direction of some legitimate data from a reputable news source or scientific journal arguing that the vaccine is not effective in preventing spread, symptoms, or severity of Covid in fully vaccinated individuals?

According to an article from MSNBC it takes several months to a year for a vaccine to be approved for non-emergency use. So the reason they’re still in emergency use only seems pretty obvious doesn’t it?

The article also quotes health care professionals who say the vaccines are very safe and effective. You yourself just said you’re no scientist, these people are, so you would trust them, no?

Also, I googled your hero there, Mr. Yeadon. Does he have any data to back up his claims? There’s a nice article here about him:

And the MSNBC article I referenced:

Leave it to the main stream media to attack the messenger, while ignoring the substance of his work. That’s no surprise, is it?

Regarding the FDA and Pfizer’s recent filing effort, thats good to know. I wholly expect them to get approval. Who doesn’t?

" … I googled your hero there, Mr. Yeadon. Does he have any data to back up his claims? …"

Doesn’t sound like you even bothered to look around at anything he’s offered up or speak to.

Apparently you don’t because you’re so concerned why they are still in the emergency phase and not fully approved yet?

You didn’t bother to post any?

I googled him, I got accounts from many many news sites debunking his claims about death rates, how many waves there will be, and the “pandemic being fundamentally over” but nothing from any one else confirming his claims of female infertility due to a vaccine shot. If none of his data is backed by any reputable journal, news source, research group, or anything with even the slightest bit of legitimacy why would I buy it? The first two pages of a google search are article after article saying this guy is wrong. I read his claim about the particular protein that would cause infertility and then immediately read the opinion of three qualified microbiologists at three different medical facilities debunking his claim. I don’t have to look far to find evidence his projections of death rates, number of “waves” and whether or not the pandemic is over to know he is again, wrong.

Here’s one from government site, not the “mainstream media”

American Frontline Doctors is a political organization founded by two people who are currently in jail for storming the capitol on Jan 6. It was founded 2 years ago.

The Gateway Pundit is a “far right fake news website”.

The website from New Zealand is another website much like the frontline doctors one.

I feel bad that the American educational system has failed you so badly that you cannot identify legit sources backed by real data/research. Best of luck to you.
