> We both know those 2 questions differ. But no problem, I'll answer your last question. Do you have the right qualifications to interpret those initial results?

Let’s go with a real life example from my link.

Your doctor says to you “This vaccine prevents the flu, but several cases of Bell’s palsy have been reported where you may end up with facial paralysis that may never resolve. The FDA is looking at the cases and will make a determination whether or not to pull it from the market.”

I’d say every patient is equipped to make their own decision about that.

And if they decide the answer is “no”, it’s actually a pro-science and pro-humanity decision.

People like you who act like no one should ever decline a vaccine are the anti-science ones! Youre the ones who downplay the risks of any medicine and act like the FDA never makes a mistake in approving a vaccine OR new data doesn’t come out to show it shouldn’t be on the market in the first place.






I'm not from US, so I really don't care what FDA says. If your doctor has information that some vaccine comes with big risks, sure, refusing that is scientific. But the case you present here is way different than what you said earlier.

> If your doctor has information that some vaccine comes with big risks, sure, refusing that is scientific.

Now that wasn't that hard huh?


Like I said, this wasn't your initial statement, but you conveniently ignored that.

Your initial statement was that you didn't take the vaccine based on nothing, and only later it turned out you were right. That is not scientific, like me and the other people already said many times.

And by the way, the doctors said it was best to take the covid mRNA vaccine because it was safe. If you didn't, that's anti-science and anti-life. And today, science says it was still the best choice.

I'm going to end the conversation here.
