Covid vaccines - thread banned users in First Post

But it's an assumption. One you seem to be making based on nothing but your own opinion about the previlance of variants.

Sounds a awful lot like you've a pretty false sense of security there.

Tell us, what measures are you taking yourself to minimise your risk of spreading the virus? Did this change when you decided you had omicron?

i already told you that you followed the standard type of posting that conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers follow. Carbon copy of each other. It’s not my fault if ye all follow the same script. Egg did you lie from the outset?

Breaking news. Anti-vaxxer accuses someone of being brainwashed and is afraid to look in the mirror.

I hope people ready posts too as they show that you have lied multiple times and can’t be trusted.

Why did you lie from the outset?

Other posters lack of "critical analysis" mentioned several times there.

Like the critical analysis of €1000 spent on advertising for every man woman and child in the country?

4 billion on advertising. FOUR. BILLION.

Mainly radio apparently. Ads at 60 quid a pop.

And then him jumping into the river too cause he assumes he can swim just fine.

No one is claiming they are 100% safe. When we say air-travel is safe, it means overwhelmingly safe, not literally 1000% safe.

The vaccines aren't future-proofed against all variants, but I'm pretty sure you know this. Again, another dramatic mutation (like Omicron) could occur. If that does happen, it's not the fault of the vaccine makers nor the authorities nor anyone. Again, the virus doesn't have some "agreement" with us, it's out there in the wild doing it's thing.

Since as you point out no medication of any form, or water, is 100% safe. Eating peanuts isn't safe for some people.

So, Phishy, which is safer - getting the vaccine, or contracting Covid?

Which phase 3 trials are due to be completed in August 2023? Pfizer completed theirs in December 2020.

Is this where you get your information from?

Any updates on the variant specific booster in Germany or is that more made up stuff as well? All I can find is their plans for booster rollout and talk of a 4th dose.

Your credibility is taking a bit of a hit with all these lies so maybe do some actual research instead of believing all the crap you see on Facebook. The fact that you don't even believe it's a conspiracy makes you look even more silly.

Well acedotally...in the Premier League this season, 3 fans have had cardiac events leading to match stoppages...I don't think that has ever happened in the Premier League before this season...

Agreed it could be just coincidence but I find it very strange, could be Covid19, Covid19 Vax or not related to either...

But some dr's have voiced concerns, but are being shut down and called anti-vax or anti science...no discussion seems to be allowed

Which doctors have voiced concerns that it might be the vaccine and how are they being shut down?

Any sports cardiologists or professionals I've read who've commented on it have stressed it's nothing to do with the vaccine, so quite the opposite

There were 7 heart attacks recorded at Barcelona's stadium in the 2000-2001 season. - Acute Coronary Events Among Spectators in a Soccer Stadium | Revista Española de Cardiología (revespcardiol.org)

7, in just 1 stadium in 1 year. I don't think these events are as rare as you think. They are just more reported now.

"Reuters presented the posts to the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), the British regulator for drugs and vaccines, which said there is currently no supporting evidence to back up such claims.

MHRA chief executive Dr June Raine said: “The MHRA closely monitors the safety and effectiveness of the COVID-19 vaccines, including reports of suspected heart inflammation, myocarditis or pericarditis.

“Myocarditis or pericarditis remains a very rare potential risk with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, and the events reported are typically mild with individuals usually recovering within a short time with standard treatment and rest. The current evidence does not suggest that sporting exercise is a contributing risk for these very rare events."

"Reuters also presented the videos to FIFA, world soccer’s governing body, which said: “FIFA is not aware of a rise in episodes of cardiac arrests as indicated in your email and no cases have been flagged in relation to individuals receiving a COVID vaccine.

“Generally speaking, FIFA is in regular contact with leading research centres and experts to do research on a variety of medical topics.”"

"Moreover, the Cardiac Risk in the Young (CRY) organisation, a British charity that funds medical research and supports families of young people affected by heart conditions, told Reuters they were “not aware” of any published or peer-reviewed researched into alleged links between sudden cardiac arrests in athletes and COVID-19 vaccines. “It’s important to understand that young sudden cardiac death (in both sportspeople and the general population) is tragically not a new phenomenon,” they said.

CRY also pointed Reuters toward data published in 2008, which showed 12 ‘apparently fit and healthy’ young people (aged 35 and under) die in the United Kingdom every week from previously undiagnosed heart conditions (www.c-r-y.org.uk/statistics/ and here).

In 2018, prior to the pandemic, CRY announced the findings of a 10-year study, which concluded sudden cardiac death in elite footballers was more common than initially thought."

"“Despite screening, cardiac conditions are still the leading cause of death in footballers,” Professor Sanjay Sharma, CRY’s cardiologist and a leading sports cardiologist at St George’s University of London, said at the time "
