I mean, okay...sure, I have general sympathy because that sucks.

I just meant (and I think you know this if you've followed the thread of the conversation) a specific sympathy for not being able to sue Pfizer or what have you. In that scenario you voluntarily took a vaccine because you wanted to. You didn't have an authority pressure you into it, and then have no legal recourse should you be injured.

If Pfizer or Moderna made a product that has a safety profile on par with other medications, why should they be the ones on the financial hook for AEs?

1) have health insurance, use it.  Greatly minimizes financial exposure.  My empathy is minimal for those that could have health insurance at a reasonable price but choose to keep the money instead  (I have a stepbrother in this category)

2) for other, probably unusual circumstances, set aside a pool of money.  Of course that’s a government handout so some would be opposed to that on those grounds

That has nothing to do with the being made. CMS data collection and sharing was a shit show, the non-CMS data is not much better. People were getting shots left and right without the admin being documented consistently to electronic healthcare data sources that are one of the primary tools used for post authorization safety surveillance. It's all understandable in terms of how it played out. The objective was the get shots in the arm. But the reality is that the exposure data is totally unreliable, in a world where these data sources already have significant limitations.

My friend got the OG Covid and his taste/smell have never fully recovered. He says that coffee tastes like gasoline and marinara makes him sick to his stomach. I’d rather have the vaccine side effects I think. 
 

I don’t regret getting the vaccine, but it was unnecessary based on my age and risk factors. It’s easy to look back now and be more objective. At the time I definitely got swept up in the panic… Meh, live and learn I guess. 

Your first paragraph points out why it was necessary. And there is no age / risk factor  demo that was completely safe from the novel coronavirus. I recently saw a healthy 36 yo patient (33 when she contracted covid pre vaccine) who went into cardiac arrest and coded. She had Covid and mild fever aches and cough but went to ER with chest pain. She was being discharged from the ER after rule out MI (normal ekg and cardiac enzymes < 30 minutes prior to the arrest); they got her back and took her straight to the cath lab where they found complete occlusion of the LAD (widowmaker) and one other artery. 
 

so would you rather have had a super rare complication of Covid infection or super rare complication of the vaccine?

Not sure where you get 1% mortality rate

There are some red flags that should be followed. Now will they?

The official number of people with disabilities made a jump that coincided with vaccine rollouts and was concentrated in the employed population. 

What’s a couple million here or there?

There's also the issue of perisistently elevated excess deaths and increasing cancer rates. The cancer rates had been trending up but need to be followed further. 

Is any of this the vaccine? It's suspicious but we don’t know. Our public health services don't seem to be interested in investigation as far as I can tell. That's strange. 

 

The bottom line is our system is dismissing a lot of people with real issues. Surveillance has been poor for a variety of reasons, many discussed in that column. Ignorance is bliss for the govt. You don't believe me? Listen to the former FDA commissioner in the Nyt. 

 

But in a recent interview, Dr. Janet Woodcock, a longtime leader of the Food and Drug Administration, who retired in February, said she believed that some recipients had experienced uncommon but “serious” and “life-changing” reactions beyond those described by federal agencies. 

“I feel bad for those people,” said Dr. Woodcock, who became the F.D.A.’s acting commissioner in January 2021 as the vaccines were rolling out. “I believe their suffering should be acknowledged, that they have real problems, and they should be taken seriously.”

“I’m disappointed in myself,” she added. “I did a lot of things I feel very good about, but this is one of the few things I feel I just didn’t bring it home.”

Hmm what else happened at the same time as vaccines?

Okay, so let's assume you are right and there is nothing that makes the Covid vaccine and the vaccine's fast-tracking inherently more dangerous. Then why make it to where there is legal immunity and the people being compelled to take the vaccinations have no legal remedy, as they usually would? That strikes me as an implicit acknowledgement.

https://www.cnbc.com/2020/12/16/covid-vaccine-side-effects-compensation-lawsuit.html

You can’t sue Pfizer or Moderna if you have severe Covid vaccine side effects.

• Under the PREP Act, companies like Pfizer and Moderna have total immunity from liability if something unintentionally goes wrong with their vaccines.
• A little-known government program provides benefits to people who can prove they suffered serious injury from a vaccine.
• That program rarely pays, covering just 29 claims over the last decade.

You're citing the PREP Act, which has been in some form the law of the land for almost 20 years, as an illustration of why the vaccine development and approval process of the Coronavirus vaccine about 15 years later was inherently dangerous?I believe that is about the definition of arguing in bad fucking faith.

[SydneyCarton 48110]

4 minutes ago, BeardIP said:

A few points:

1) From what I've read, the PREP Act is not a blanket order for all vaccine development. In fact, from the website: 

The PREP Act empowers the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) to immunize “covered persons," including pharmaceutical companies and healthcare providers, that make what are called countermeasures including vaccines from liability in a declared public health emergency.

On March 17, 2020 (effective February 4, 2020), the Secretary of HHS declared the coronavirus pandemic to be such an emergency.

Thus the manufacturers of COVID-19 vaccines such as Pfizer and Moderna enjoy sweeping liability protection from personal injury or product liability suits.

2) Which, as I've said, is 1000% FINE AND GOOD, except in the cases where one was unreasonably compelled to take the vaccination. If being "mandated" to take a vaccine, you should not have legal impunity. Where it is a voluntary act of vaccination, protect the organizations who fast-tracked this to market all you want.

3) What I described above is a moral hazard and one that I am uncomfortable with. You and others might not be, and that's fine too, because reasonable minds can disagree, but it's a weird take to call someone bad faith for disagreeing with you.

4) This ammendment from last year actually makes sense to me now that the vaccination is 100% voluntary and people aren't at risk of losing their livlihoods or reasonably expected rights and privileges for not getting the vax: Eleventh Amendment to the Declaration under the PREP Act for COVID-19 Medical Countermeasures

 

You're pointing out that PREP Act isn't a blanker order for all vaccine development after you used the PERP Act and cited it as a blanket Act that allowed all immunity, and you framed it that way to sell your point. Then you started hedging. See the irony there? Hence, ARGURING IN BAD FAITH.

Yeah, I'm just not going to get up in arms about a public health emergency, learning from it, and making changes after the fact. 

[SydneyCarton 48110]

I think there has been some miscommunication:

"I'm pointing out that the PREP Act isnt a blanket order for all vaccine development." Yes

"After used the PERP Act and cited it as a blanket act that allowed all immunity." No, I used it as an example of why you can't sue for being vaccine injured, if you were unreasonably compelled to take the vaccination, that was fast-tracked and rushed to market during a public health emergency. I don't care about any other immunity that may or may not exist for any other vaccination development.

"Then you started hedging. See the irony there? Hence, ARGURING IN BAD FAITH." I lost your thread of logic on this and think you are just backing into some sort of confirmation bias about what you think I think and not what I said, based on your past experiences.

"Yeah, I'm just not going to get up in arms about a public health emergency, learning from it, and making changes after the fact." That's fine as it's your prerogative. I'm simply arguing from the other angle which is that public health emergency or not, legal immunity for drug manufacturers and quasi mandates for people to take this vaccination, is a moral hazard. It was a decision and it was made and we are living with it, but one can think it's a garbage position and talk about it without being bad faith. 

I mean, some people thought Lincoln suspending Habeas Corpus was fine and others saw it as problematic and it remains an interesting debate to this day. It's okay to not agree with you Sydney and not be in bad faith. I hope one day you learn that.

Someone cited that they didn't think this development as inherently more dangerous. You responded with, and I am paraphrasing here, "Then why make it immune from legal action" CLEARLY implying that experts knew it was inherently more dangerous, therefore they made it immune. That's what you did. 

The rest of everything you're talking about whether it is immune from legal action is just noise. Hell, I'm not even sure I disagree with you, I don't have a strong opinion on it one way or the other. But before all of that happened, you clearly implied the government believed it was more dangerous, that's why they gave it immunity. This part, right here:

Personally, I think that the government probably gave them exemption to get the fucking wheels moving on something, and you see it as "They knew this whole MNRA process was super dangerous and this is how they covered their asses" type conspiracy stuff. That's gaslighting, dude.

First, thanks for the clarity. I'd rather respond to points than guess or just resort to name calling.

I think the word "inherent(ly)" is doing the heavy lifting here. 

I was responding to the poster who said that fast tracking this and stacking steps in parallel is inherently more risky/dangerous than going through the motions serially. I mean, just conceptually and logically speaking, how could it be equal in risk?

Ask yourself this, if there is no inherent difference in the manufacturing risks, then why not just make the process more efficient and turn the "fast track" into the standard? It's because the overwhelmingly likely reason is that by optimizing for speed, you are sacrificing something-- and whatever that sacrifice is (e.g. an uptick in risk) it's deemed worth it, but it's also not nothing.

I simply think that a pro-human and winning move would have been to absolutely fast track the go to market, but leave an option for legal remedy if injured by the product.

And I think the phrase "implicit acknowledgement" is doing the exact word you want it to do in your earlier post. And with your follow up above, you're basically doubling down on "OF COURSE IT'S MORE DANGEROUS, HOW COULD IT NOT BE?" The answer is, we don't know, it was the first time and no one knows what they don't know until they do something. Which leads me to my next point. What happens if the two drug companies say "You know what, if you made me do have legal remedy, we're just not going to do it, becuase we don't know what we don't know."

Becuase that's what they'd have done. And who knows what the death toll looks like now worldwide.

And like I said above, the increased risk is contained within the clinicals and borne by the volunteers. 
 

if, for example, a normal dose escalation trial would start at x dose and increase until toxicity is established but in this case all of the dose cohorts are run in parallel, the higher dose cohort has higher risk because there’s no tox data available to inform dosing. 
 

but at the conclusion of all of that, the final dose selected is based on the same overall trial data and just as safe as other dose decisions.

I do stand by the idea that by invoking the PERP Act, there is "Implicit acknowledgment" of a POTENTIAL for risk and the desire and need to legally shield yourself from that risk. 

And if we took away the legal immunity and the drug companies felt that developing, in a fast tracked manner, a drug was an existential risk then....isn't that proving my original point... that the potential for risk incurred from speeding up the traditional process to bring a vaccination to market... is what makes it inherently different and potentailly more risky?

It would only prove your point if a) it was ascertained after the fact that speeding up the traditional process created some flaw in the process that made the vaccine more dangerous to people and b) the drug turned out to be an existential risk. 

Neither has been proven to be true after the fact, covid has has basically been proven to be in line with side effects from other vaccines. So basically you're arguing for something that has been proven wrong after the fact. 

And I don't think bolding your added new work of POTENTIAL proves what you think it proves in this back and forth. 

[Pato del Muerto 52528]

I am ignorant to how long into long term effects monitoring we typically go before approving a drug. I have a hypothesis that the time from emergency use authorization to full approval may inform that timeline.

It's obvious that there were going to be negative side effects. No chemical, medicine or drug is 100% safe for 100% of a population. Latex and Peanuts and Sulfur and even the moldy penicillin bread out front shoulda told ya.

That a small % of folks had some sort of averse reaction and/or vaccine injury is not the problem.

The problem that the article seems to be highlighting, which I think is a good thing to spotlight, is that for those who were vaccine injured, they should not be ignored.

Especially when the pharma and government had legal immunity with a rushed product.

Did you mean sulfa?

[SydneyCarton 48110]

59 minutes ago, BeardIP said:

In my mind "risk" and "potential for risk" are saying the same thing; six one way and half a dozen the other. In no way, shape or form was it communicated that there was a definite or provable risk, just that by suspending legal remedy, there is an implication of an inherent difference-- an addition to the element of risk/potential risk. I mean, this seems like risk management 101 stuff. 

Looking back, I agree with you. The results are more or less in line with any other vaccination with regards to side effects (as far as I can tell and from what I've read).

But, again, the MAIN crux of the argument and issue, is that this vaccination was something that was more or less "mandated" for a goodly number of people by an unreasonable expectation for many sectors of employment and rights/privileges. If you are going to compel and force people into a vaccination, it's unethical and morally wrong to not offer a legal remedy or option for adverse outcomes. That is 100% my point.

I feel like a broken record, so I'll just leave it at that.

I don't have a problem with the main crux of your argument, as I stated. I have a problem with the gaslighting thinly veiled "implications" that the government knew it was more dangerous than other vaccinations, when in fact the method has proven to be EXACTLY as safe as pretty much every other vaccination, which you made on the WAY to getting to your main point.

Hydroxychloroquine could have caused 17,000 deaths during Covid, study finds:

Quote

Nearly 17,000 people may have died after taking hydroxycholoroquine during the first wave of Covid-19, according to a study by French researchers.

The anti-malaria drug was prescribed to some patients hospitalized with Covid-19 during the first wave of the pandemic, "despite the absence of evidence documenting its clinical benefits," the researchers point out in their paper, published in the February issue of Biomedicine & Pharmacotherapy.

Now, researchers have estimated that some 16,990 people in six countries — France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Turkey and the U.S. — may have died as a result.

That figure stems from a study published in the Nature scientific journal in 2021 which reported an 11 percent increase in the mortality rate, linked to its prescription against Covid-19, because of the potential adverse effects like heart rhythm disorders, and its use instead of other effective treatments.

Researchers from universities in Lyon, France, and Québec, Canada, used that figure to analyze hospitalization data for Covid in each of the six countries, exposure to hydroxychloroquine and the increase in the relative risk of death linked to the drug.

In fact, they say the figure may be far higher given the study only concerns six countries from March to July 2020, when the drug was prescribed much more widely.

Hydroxychloroquine gained prominence partly due to French virologist Didier Raoult who had headed the Méditerranée Infection Foundation hospital, but was later removed amid growing controversy.

It was also considered something of a “miracle cure” by the then-U.S. President Donald Trump, who said: “What do you have to lose? Take it.”

There's some viral flu/whatever shit going around. I got picked it up last Wed night on a business trip to Pennsylvania. Started with a scratchy throat and sinus. It's been a full week of thick sinus issues, non-stop coughing, fatigue, on and off again fever. Got tested yesterday. Not Covid or flu, doc thinks it is viral. I haven't been this sick since, well, Covid but I was feeling fine after a week with Covid. Not this shit. A week later, still feeling like absolute shit. This motherfucking cough will not go away. Gave it to the wife. She's vaxxed with the latest and greatest. Didn't prevent her from getting this shit.

Reading the Austin Reddit board, this is going around in Austin. Same symptoms. Some tested positive to Covid, many didn't. The kicker is that the cough lasts 1-2 months. Yay me.

Fauci is responsible for more deaths outside of the folks who actually leaked the virus. He is a narcissistic demon who if there is any justice will burn in hell.

More broadly, he and the public health establishment writ large lied about everything.

They lied about masks.

They lied about Ivermectin.

They lied when they said the vaccine would prevent infection.

They lied in order to close schools. (We had good evidence it was not necessary.) 

They lied about the 6ft distancing. (No evidence)

They lied about taking millions from Big Pharma. (260 NIAID scientists took $690 million in royalties from Big Pharma between 2021 and 2023. That's more than $3 million per scientist.)

They lied about the origin of the virus.

They signed a letter saying if you protested for BLM you would be safe, but if you gathered for MAGA you would transmit the virus.

They lied about natural immunity.

They lied about vaccine side effects. 

They lied to make kids take a vaccine for a virus to which they were immune.

 

You cannot just lie about every fucking thing you say, then turn around and say "trust us". There is documented evidence of the huge harm caused by their "advice", especially to kids. But the most damage they did was to convince people not to take the vaccine because they could not be trusted but rather are inveterate liars dispossessed of any conscience whatsoever. If there is another pandemic, there will be mass refusals to take any vaccine, despite any evidence. There is no trust, and their shouldn't be.

I am vaccinated, and obviously very pro vaccine, because I read the studies. But science requires the confidence of the public, and the public health establishment could not have done a worse job.
