Not sure if this sarcasm. Because if it was not, it’s pathetic.

Each shot increases the risk of having adverse effects. At this point, we are at 3 in about 9 months, so it’s reasonable to assume they are going to want us to take one every 3 months. That’s a lot of shots.

Sorry man, i deleted my posts. I was being totally sarcastic. I re-read them and realized how ridiculous they sounded and didn’t want people being confused that i actually thought that way.
I haven’t finished that podcast yet but its great so far. Too bad people wont listen.

English, is not my first language. I got you at the Fauchi line. It is an awesome podcast, with a the top of the top of the cardiologists. I shared on my facebook, in my office and etc. I showed it to my father who was calling me anti vaxer :), he is not calling me that anymore.
More people need to watch. It is eye opening.

Sorry for the confision. I got that stat not from this exel, but elsewhere.
If we are not ignoring age, then should we calculate the monthly date rates and number of deaths then? I am pretty sure the results will be even more shocking.
Here is the math again.
90k approximately unvaccinated have died during Jan - Sept 2021 period.
33% or around 30k of these 90k are Covid deaths.
250k approximately vaccinated have died during the same period.
Around 5 % or 15k vaccinated people have died from Covid.
What kills the vaccinated in an increased rate, and 2.5 times higher numbers?
I call bullshit that there is just this small amount of Covid deaths in the vaccinated population, when the vaccinated have been dying in higher rate and 2.5 times more.
My explanation for this mistake in stats is that the vaccinated do not get tested when hospitalized, thus their deaths are not counted as Covid deaths in the statistics.
Here is the reuters fact check on a similar topic - Fact Check-Vaccinated people in Britain are not dying at a higher rate than the unvaccinated | Reuters
Please, note how the rate calculations Reuters use are misleading. You cant say that 1272 vaccinated people make for a lower death rate of 198 people with a vaccination population at that time frame 65 %. It is a lie.
Please, note. I still have not gotten on to the Covid deaths. I am only at the increased total deaths of vaccinated and their increased death rate in comparison to the vaccinated.
And not to deviate a lot. Facebook just admitted their fact checks are opinion in court.
I’m trying to play it safe, by getting nine shots in three months.

Just a question from the sidelines here:
How many of you discussing this topic have been taught subjects such as infectious disease, statistics, epidemiology, pathology, physiology, pharmacology, etc.?
I am not implying anything by asking this, btw, I am merely curious.
Must watch.

Lock - you only post once every other month for 14 years and then ask a rhetorical question?
Statistics and pharmacology. I am bad at statistics, definitely not an expert in pharmacy, but I am pretty decent in chemistry. Considering the information we get in these topics the past two years on these topics and our increased ability to research and increased ability to find literature, I don’t think one has to be tough these subjects in order to discuss them in bodybuilding forum.

Suddenly I get curious and then I post a bit, what can I say, lol.

Almost nobody. But I don’t see what a piece of paper, or recognition from a prescribed facility of learning really matters. There are facts and statistics available. As well as wisdom, reason and common sense. And it is mostly just opinion. And I think many still miss the point. To me it’s not about the disease, we have a pretty good handle on what it is, what it’s doing, and how bad it is by now.
What questions I don’t see asked is:
- How well have the mitigation techniques worked?
- On the basis of that, does it make sense to keep doing the same?
- How much are you willing to give up for a disease, though bad, is mostly transient to the overwhelming majority of people?
- What downstream effects have mitigation techniques had on over all general health of the plurality of people? It is worth it?
- Where do civil rights and liberties fit in to all of this?
- Why do some rank civil rights and liberties lower than the avoidance of a mostly transient disease?
- Is there something more sinister going on?
- Did China do this on purpose?
Still waiting for some left point of view on that Joe Rogan podcast.

I don’t think so
China is still shut off from the rest of the rest of the world
Economically, there was little incentive to do this.
I don’t buy into the lab theory either. Both SARS and MERS came from bats and camels respectively. The only reason they didn’t catch on like covid did was due to how lethal they were. Countries instantaneously applied pressure to curb the spread in uniform… that and the viruses would kill off hosts quite rapidly, making spread difficult.
Relax, everybody knows this. If you weren’t mathematically illiterate you wouldn’t be posting brainwashed anti vaxx bullshit. The “narratives” you are posting are intentionally designed to provide easy to understand, completely made up explanations to people who are unable to grasp elementary school level math.
Snake oil peddlers on JRE are new “information”? See above.
I am an MD (US graduate) licensed to practice medicine. My specialty is not infectious disease. In addition, I have graduate-level training in statistics, and taught it at the collegiate level.
This is a common inability, ie, not understanding why training matters. In my experience, it tends to be willful, and selective.

That guest is part of AAPS? Didn’t they claim Obama used hypnosis in his speeches and promote the claim that MMR causes autism. I think I’ll save myself some time and not watch that trash on JRE.
And even with the training you’ve had in those subjects, I would bet that you would still be hesitant in engaging in discussions at a deep level regarding this topic, correct?
That is correct. I know enough to know what I don’t know.

Anti vaccine theories and conspiracies in general are the equivalent of participation trophies for fat kids.
They promise instant reward - a fake insight with absolute certainty - without the hard work, intellectual ability and discipline.
Even if you’re dumb and lazy, you too can “question science”. Simply follow a snake peddler or two that “question prevailing dogmas” on social media, watch that TRT midget’s podcast and congratulations - you can paste talking points that enable you, in your own eyes, to stand on equal footing with an actual expert. And all that without having to know what those weird formulae with a bunch of signs and letters mean.
