    Okay, let’s pretend that’s true for a second. How many children have died of COVID-19? How many people have supposedly died of COVID-19 vaccines in comparison to the over 7 million people that have died worldwide to the disease itself? Should we just ban all medications if people can potentially die from them? Because if that’s the case, we might as well ban all of modern medicine.

    It’s honestly to the point that whenever anyone says they are worried about “protecting the children” I immediately discount everything that follows. And it’s so incredibly stupid that when politicians use that excuse it works more often than not. The FDA under Trump is as reliable on public health as Joe Rogan.

      This has been going on since day one of COVID. Astra Zeneca had an open source vaccine and then some MD cunt in Norway published a paper saying it led to COVID like complications in nurses. The nurses had COVID. The cunt was caught not declaring he was a paid consultant of Pfizer by local media.

      It is ridiculously easy to pay an MD to say anything. They work cheap. Especially at Stanford and Harvard.

      I’ll never understand the anti medicine POV from some of the rich. Even if you want the best possible medical care all to yourself, you still need a fucking shitload of guinea pigs to know all possible effects of medicine. All kinds, not just whatever happens to ail them at a given point. What heals most can kill some, and you need data to know the difference to find out why

        Sure you will. Just look at their investments and what businesses they have stakes in.

        It’s a lot more pricy to perpetually treat people for symptoms than to cure the of the underlying cause, and when the healthcare system is “pay up or die,” the odds are that they’ll make a tidy profit.
