You know there have been bad vaccines in the past that were given to people right? You know the drug companies sometimes lie about studies right? For instance, did you know that when people were being tested with the covid-19 vaccine, and they died during the trial, Pfizer removed them from the results? Don't you think that should have been included?
There have been and there will be. And there have been reports of adverse side effects. We study these cases in depth. You're worse off without the vaccine by a massive margin. Society is worse off.
Ok, I just disagree. I'm not pro or anti vaccine, I just think people shouldn't be forced to take drugs if they don't feel safe doing so.
One thing you mentioned is that studies lie. Academic Studies are the first and foremost most reliable source of information on this earth, your distrust of them is basically an admission that you prefer comforting lies.
I mentioned before (maybe not to you), when Pfizer was doing trials of the covid19 vac, there were a number of people who died. Pfizer did not include them in the results. That is an example of a study that included lies.
I have a family member with many medical issues, and I read a lot of studies on various treatments for different issues. I've had doctors flat out lie to our faces about a drugs effectiveness, and after telling then what we know about it, they agree with us and say they think we should use it anyway. Basically admitting they weren't being honest with us about the drug.
Some drugs have been studied in other countries other than my own, and have been shown to be 100% ineffective as a treatment for a particular condition. But the insurance company and doctors still push it, and when confronted with the studies, say that those studies aren't recognized here because they weren't conducted in my country.
Literally everyone will die after taking the vaccine, be it one day or a hundred years later. Nobody has ever died from the vaccine. We've studied this, there is no potential way for a person to die from being injected with a target antigen.
Doesn't matter if you are right or if you are wrong. A good, honest study includes all participants, and everything medically that happened to them.
