    As noted in my pervious post, German regulators picked up \ responded to the rare but serious side effects with AZ and Jansen and restricted its use:

    It is unclear but I suggest possible that the second study you have cited picked up some of those cases as VITT is listed.

    Also, the numbers quoted in that study of 11% - 33% (2 or 6 from 18) are quite different to Schirmacher's range of 30% to 40% and his seems more certain of his numbers than 'possible'. His figures are an outlier, especially if his figures related to period after the changes in vaccine rollout in Germany restricting the use of AZ and Jansen. Either he is assessing cause differently to other pathologists OR he had a very unusual sample set OR he is mistaken.

    As for the second study, the word "vaccination" is in quotes which is a red flag. Similar work fact checked here.

    16 out of 40 and you are asking what's the issue?

    Unbelievable.



  • Posts: 25,874 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Yes.

    Hometruths objected to the notion that this number was being being scaled up to apply to the whole population. He stated that the conclusion was only about the 40 autopsies that this guy conducted and nothing else.


    Are you suggesting that this number is indicative of the rate occurring in the total population?



  • Posts: 25,874 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Again you are being very hypocritical here.

    If you are deciding to believe this one expert, this implies that you believe that all the experts and organisations promoting the vaccine as safe or are suppressing the obvious amounts of deaths are lying or making things up.

    Do you have any good reason to think all of those experts would lie or make stuff up?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,218 ✭✭✭snowcat


    There is a lot of reputations and careers at stake not to mention the reputation of vaccines as a whole if these mRNA vaccines do not turn out to be overwhelmingly safe. It is a brave expert who can or will raise concerns against the common narrative. As can be seen by this thread any criticism of the wonder vaccine will be accompanied by wails of "anti vaxxer" and give us the unquestionable proof.

    Why hasn't anyone involved in the development of the non mrna vaccines come out saying something then? Would be to their benefit if their non mrna vaccines were considered better surely, if there is something there why haven't they highlighted it?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,456 ✭✭✭EyesClosed


    But it's been two years... Vaccines including mrna will show complications in the first 6 months... In fact the mrna doesn't stay around in your body forever.

    So the vaccine has been proven to be overwhelming safe. If you don't think so please prove it. There have been countless studies posted in here showing the safety.



  • Posts: 25,874 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Lol. Nope. Misrepresentation as always.

    Not all criticism of the vaccines are being labeled as "anti vaxx". This is an exaggeration you anti vaxxers use to pretend that your position isn't extreme.


    And since your able to suggest motivations for why people would lie to defend the vaccine, why do you have an issue imagining the same thing for people to discredit the vaccine?



  • Posts: 25,874 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    This would be a pretty enticing motivation for those folks to spread misinformation about the mRNA vaccines. Who knows maybe that's the source for all of the claims the conspiracy theorists have been making.


    It's not all that far fetched given this was pretty much exactly the motivation behind their boy Wakefield.



  • Registered Users, Subscribers, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,703 ✭✭✭hometruths


    And when doctors are threatened with sanctions if they publicly express concerns, many will obviously just say nothing. Hopefully this will change over time. In Australia a group of healthcare professionals have established a new professional body to gain safety in numbers for doctors who are not happy being censored, saying "there is growing evidence from around the world that information has been withheld from public view and that doctors have been pressured out of questioning policy and data related to the pandemic."

    Our AMPS members are refusing to be silent, even under threats to our registrations. We are fighting for law reform to provide our patients with evidence-based care rather than uncritical politically driven health practice.

    Does the Australian public know that the government regulator, AHPRA, has warned health professionals, including doctors and nurses, not to publicly question government public health directives, including those related to Covid – effectively gagging them? This is done by threatening their registration.

    On vaccines specifically they say:

    The comparative lack of vital long-term data (present for other vaccines and medical treatments) is lacking in Covid vaccines – making it difficult to justify statements such as proven safe and effective. ‘Assumed to the best of our knowledge’ would be more accurate.

    Who threatens them?

    How is this conspiracy organised on the global scale.


    Congrats on the 10000th post on this thread with still no conspiracy theory being presented.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,218 ✭✭✭snowcat


    I think most people agree there is no specific conspiracy except maybe greed from pharma companies. Nothing new in that. What is discussed here generally is vaccine efficacy, safety, long term effects and the extension to non vulnerable adults and children for little benefit if any. Unfortunately any discussion in general forums is shut down rapidly so it ends up here in the conspiracy forum.



  • Posts: 25,874 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Lol. OK. There's no conspiracy.

    You just think that there's a giant secret global coordinated cover up of the real efficacy and the side effects of the vaccine and that boards somehow is involved in this because "they shut down discussion".


    If that's not an accurate description, please inform us what the accurate version is.



  • Subscribers Posts: 43,433 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    So.....

    There's no vaccine safety conspiracy.

    Only took 10,000 posts to admit this whole thread is BS



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,218 ✭✭✭snowcat


    Possible yes. We will only see over the next few years on how excess deaths and fertility rates pan out. Certainly yes boards.ie have participated in the shut down of discussion. I was banned in the early days for suggesting that efficacy of the vaccine looked to be not great, a point that is now well proven.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,507 ✭✭✭Fighting Tao


    You do realise that the vaccines were specifically created for the early days variants? I can completely understand how you fell foul of the mods if you pushing a lie about vaccine efficacy and the initial variants on the main covid forum.



  • Posts: 25,874 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    OK. So your conspiracy is that boards is somehow under orders to shut down discussion.


    Cool. That's a conspiracy that can be discussed.

    How are they involved exactly? Are they paid to do this?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,304 ✭✭✭patnor1011


    I am suggesting that it is crazy to say "what's the issue" in connection with doctor performing 40 autopsies of people who died within 2 weeks of taking injections and who believe that 16 of them possibly died because of that.



  • Subscribers Posts: 43,433 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    "Possibly"???


    He's not much of a pathologist if his determination is "possibly"



  • Posts: 25,874 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    I'll remind you that you guys have been repeatedly and continuously downplaying the millions of deaths from covid.


    And again you don't seem to understand the posts.

    Hometruths objected to the notion that the percentage could be applied beyond those 40 cases.

    In that case it's only 16 people *possibly* killed by the vaccine.


    Given that's 16 people compared to millions of people killed by the virus, what's the issue?


    Now note that again you've avoided the question I asked as per usual.

    You don't believe that this number applies to the population as a whole or you don't want to say so and contradict a fellow conspiracy theorist.

    So we know that isn't the issue here.

    So then what is it?

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,304 ✭✭✭patnor1011


    I said that because you guys get easily triggered. Go read his report then speculate on what he said and if he is "not much of a pathologist". Somehow I think that his qualifications or experience would be several magnitudes higher than yours or mine.



  • Subscribers Posts: 43,433 ✭✭✭✭sydthebeat


    So you're admitting you either don't understand the report or you deliberately are misconstruing it here. Why else would you put the word "possibly" into your post?

    Either he's attributing the deaths to the vaccine or he's not. Which is it?



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,304 ✭✭✭patnor1011


    Yada, yada, yada... Is how most of what you write sounds like. Let me explain twisting and dishonesty in your post.

    16 out of 40 he did. There is no way you can claim there was only 16. You keep using this number because it is hard to dismiss it since he is quite experienced in what he does therefore you go around shouting "what's the issue its only 16"...

    Equally ridiculous is to compare that number to "millions of covid deaths" when first of all there was very little autopsies done and quite a lot of times there was not even test done yet death was recorded as covid death. It was convenient and because of this a lot of states recently adjusted number of deaths in some cases rather drastically. Also most of "millions of covid deaths" you mention were death with covid. Not because or from covid. But you know that.


    Now, to me or anyone else 16 out of 40 is quite a lot. Nearly half.



  • Posts: 25,874 ✭✭✭✭ [Deleted User]


    Are you claiming that the number he determined is applicable to the general population?

    Yes or no?

    If yes, then you are disagreeing with hometruths.

    If no, then you've no point.


    Which is it?


    And yes, as I said you guys have constantly dismissed and diminished the deaths caused by covid. Thanks for the fresh demonstration.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,087 ✭✭✭✭Dohnjoe


    No.

    Prior to the pandemic, anti-vaxxers spent decades screeching that vaccines are dangerous. They aren't.

    During the pandemic, anti-vaxxers switched their target to the Covid vaccines and started screeching they were dangerous. We've all had them and they aren't.

    Now anti-vaxxers have switched again to rabbiting on about "the long term effects" and they'll milk that for a few years.

    Everyone has their doubts about things, anti-vaxxers are people with doubts which morph into fanaticism. Next thing they are on a conspiracy theory forum writing hundreds of posts about the "dangers" of vaccines alongside new-world-order crackpots and genuinely seeing nothing wrong with that. We have several at that stage.

    It will never change. There will always be anti-vaxxers. It's also a mini-industry now worth millions, full of grifters.

    @bad2thebone you were thread banned last week - that means you are permanently banned from posting in this thread.

    Posts and replies deleted.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,218 ✭✭✭snowcat


    Of course I do. Thats what I was stating. That they were crap against the variant that existed at the time, we did not know what extent the new variant was circulating at the time..but even mentioning the possibility that the vaccines were not 'working' got you a ban.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,218 ✭✭✭snowcat


    Yes

    People who doubt the efficacy or question the mRNA vaccines are not automatically anti-vaxxers. There is lots of recipients of mRNA vaccines who are dead or seriously injured. Yes a tiny minority but dont say we have all had them and we are all fine. There will always be anti-vaxxers and also the complete opposite who never question anything and accept any peer reviewed data from a pharma company about their product. I am not your usual 'take a pill' brigade and will continue to question everything. It may be that mRNA is a great tool in medicine but for me the jury is out until we have more data in and hopefully more mRNA drugs that we can benchmark against traditional drugs.



  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,087 ✭✭✭✭Dohnjoe


    People who spend hundreds of posts pedantically "doubting" vaccines in a conspiracy theory forum are not genuine.

    No offense, but how stupid do you think people are?

    God the self righteousness here is sickening. "Ive had the shot and I know more than you"

    Even though i'm on a conspiracy theories thread so i ultimately have doubts.

    Unfortunately you cant turn back now. I'm still alive and have not experimented so in future I might be part of a trial as I am one of the few un vaxxed to compare with.
