Oh just stop with this nonsense. Your statement about “convoluting factors” demonstrates your complete and total ignorance of the strength and weight and sheer amount of evidence behind mRNA technology available at this point. Antivaxx talking points rely on these fundamental misunderstandings and ignorance, lmfao at your attempt to condescend to lay people in this way when you clearly don’t even know how RCTs are run or fundamentally work. There are actually decades of research behind this stuff at this point, this misinformation is tired and old. And so easily disproven by listening to people who understand the science, who work with the science, who have engaged with the evidence. And to pre-emptively rebuttal against the appeal to authority you might be chomping at the bit to make- being a pioneer a few decades ago in the field means nothing if you haven’t kept abreast to new discoveries, innovations, and evidence. I can just see you being “part of the community” as a lab manager or something, a pencil pusher at best, nothing more and certainly not someone with the training to understand the statements you’re making.
The fun part of this whole issue is that since SCOTUS has recently established people can bring forward made-up cases based on “what ifs” for violating fundamental rights and causing harm, someone in the US could plausibly sue people like you for the potential harm you may cause, because we’re talking not just about a mountain of biological and medical research, but an overwhelming amount of epidemiological data as well. Literal population-level bodies of evidence concerning how much harms views like yours have caused. Fun, eh?
Medical doctors who didn’t follow the evidence deserved to be spoken over and shut down by their peers. If you fail in your fundamental understanding of what your job is, the basic science behind medicine, you shouldn’t be practicing anymore.
And if we’re talking about comparisons to things like lobotomy, again, and I’ll say it slow for you so you can follow closely- The. Strength. Of. The. Evidence. Matters. When the evidence that lobotomy is incredibly harmful and not treating the issues it was purported to treat in any way became overwhelming, guess what? The standards changed. When the evidence is overwhelming yet you still cling to conspiracies, you deserve to be shut down, no one owes you a platform for your deceit and lies and misinformation.
What, you don’t think a self-professed “former therapist” is an expert on infectious disease and vaccine development??? 😂
I do have to agree that the medical and scientific community’s consensus shouldn’t be “beyond reproach”, but only because the scientific method requires being open to new evidence that shows past theories to be flawed. (Key word evidence.)
Alas, a common tactic for spreading misinformation can be summed up as “a mosquito doesn’t care if the window is only open by an inch or all the way, it’ll fly inside regardless.”
