Had my Pfizer booster earlier today. No problems other than a slight ache at the injection site, rather like a typhoid jab.
If I suddenly stop posting, fear the worst!

would anyone ever admit is the question
Re: Risk of taking vaccine jab
No worries actually. The new variant appears to be a sign that the pandemic is ending: a variant that is highly transmittable, but has mild symptoms.Bundokji wrote: ↑Sat Nov 27, 2021 9:32 pm Would they ever admit the limitation and possibly the futility of what they are doing?
What are the Covid variants and will vaccines still work?
....
But this new variant, called B.1.1.529 or Omicron, has experts particularly worried because it is very different to the original Covid, which current vaccines were designed to fight.

I actually know (indirectly) a few people who died after the first jab.

Re: Risk of taking vaccine jab
Greetings,
- the risks
- the benefits
- alternative treatments
Even if people could get easy access to all of the above information, they'd have to be non-partisan enough to have the integrity to evaluate them properly in a non-partisan manner.
What sounds simple on face value, is inordinately complicated. Hence a topic addressing the first of those things...

To "do the maths" you've got to deny neither:
- the risks
- the benefits
- alternative treatments

Re: Risk of taking vaccine jab
I don't agree. The maths is relatively straightforward, the problem is that people can't cope with what it means for them.retrofuturist wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 9:22 pm Greetings,

Greetings,
This topic is about the risks of being vaccinated... if you wish to discuss the benefits, that's another topic.

Re: Risk of taking vaccine jab
Actually we can't do the maths based on the report of vaccine companies, because....
Company That Managed Pfizer Vaccine Trial Sites ‘Falsified Data’: Whistleblower
So, how risky is it actually? I can't say, but perhaps you can take this as a guide:
'What Percent Of CDC Employees Are Vaccinated_'_ Cassidy Grills Walensky At Senate Hearing
It seems not many American CDC employees have take the jab.
Company That Managed Pfizer Vaccine Trial Sites ‘Falsified Data’: Whistleblower
- Ventavia, a subcontractor for Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine phase 3 clinical trial, allegedly falsified data, unblinded patients and was slow to follow up on adverse events.
- Brook Jackson reportedly brought these problems up with her superiors – but was fired shortly after she emailed a complaint to the US Food and Drug Administration.
- The FDA didn’t follow up on Jackson’s complaint – and Pfizer, which has known of the problems at Ventavia, has hired the company for four more trials.

Re: Risk of taking vaccine jab
Lives cannot be compared . Lives and maths are two different dimension . For majority of peoples they dont want to risk their own lives . Ceo of Pfizer didnt take the jabs why ?Spiny Norman wrote: ↑Sun Dec 05, 2021 11:12 pmMany lives have been saved.

Now , those already taken both jabs whom got the virus are acting as a medium for transmitting to others .
No bashing No gossiping
Re: Risk of taking vaccine jab
One should admit that Pascal's Wager seems to be a persistent feature when it comes to evaluating risks of taking the vaccine jab or not. There is the risk of being condemned by the mob which would haunt some if they do not take "experts advise" at face value and proved to be wrong (while the opposite is not true). The media made sure of it, and deathbed stories of people who were "skeptics" about the efficacy of the vaccine dying with regret were not uncommon in the media.
And the Blessed One addressed the bhikkhus, saying: "Behold now, bhikkhus, I exhort you: All compounded things are subject to vanish. Strive with earnestness!"
This was the last word of the Tathagata.
