Aren't most of these Blue?

When something weakens your immune system it is destroying your ability to protect yourself from diseases.
The article you posted, which supposedly supported your statement that boosters destroy your immune systems, actually was discussing the "continued" use of boosters, and said it COULD harm the immune system. You made quite a leap in your understanding of your own source, and thereby spread misinformation.
 
You show you do not even understand the purpose of the EMA. In the link I provided at the very end it states their purpose. "EMA is a decentralized agency of the European Union located in Amsterdam. It began operating in 1995 and is responsible for the scientific evaluation, supervision, and safety monitoring of medicines in Europe."

Do you understand the term "decentralized"? It means not just one agency is involved in making their determinations. Their "scientific evaluation" has resulted in concerns over multiple boosters causing weakening of the immune system. Got it? That is not spreading disinformation. Deal with it.

Science...
Is this a case of 'they were for it before they became against it'?

It’s absolutely disinformation.

There was no study.

There’s no evidence boosters ‘weaken the immune system’- whatever the **** that means.
 
True which is why the EMA issued this statement,
"European Union regulators warned that frequent Covid-19 booster shots could adversely affect the immune response and may not be feasible."

They were talking about possible weakened immune response -- with respect to the efficacy of the boosters and Covid-19.

Bloomberg title was misleading, unfortunately.
 
That is NOT a scientific study. It’s a purported opinion from the EMA, but since its not referenced on the article from your weird website, it can’t be confirmed what they actually meant at all.

Intellectual dishonesty, indeed. The only question is are you lying intentionally, or are you just being duped by the usual suspects?
Another one who doesn't understand the purpose of the EMA and does not understand what decentralized agency means.
 
You are arguing with someone who lives in a fantasy land where masks don't work and vaccines exist only to make money for big pharma as part of a huge all encompassing conspiracy.
You would have more success talking to the wall behind you.

The above is not even close to my POV.
Why are you lying?

Nope. You're not going to do that. You're going to address the main issue, which is your false claim that a study indicated boosters destroy the immune system.

I know it's not entirely your fault because the Bloomberg article had an unfortunate headline, but you need to absorb this because you are still responsible for spreading disinformation:

--

Do you agree that the video of the news conference I referenced directly relates to the article you posted?

Did you watch the video I linked to, and did you see what was said at the 28 minute mark?

Do you agree that there is no study referenced in the article indicating that boosters "destroy" the immune system?

Do you agree that there is no study referenced in the press conference about which the article was written that indicates that boosters "destroy" the immune system?

Do you agree that the participants at the EMA news conference did not intend to suggest that boosters could "weaken" immune systems?

Do you agree that Marco Cavaleri makes no reference to any study as you asserted "[that] shows the damaging effects of continuing to push boosters against the virus showing they are destroying our immune systems."

Do you agree that Marco Cavaleri was talking about was the possibility of boosters becoming less effective with repeated boosters. And that he was NOT talking about the immune system being "destroyed" by the boosters.

Do you agree that what Marco Cavaleri was talking about when he said there was a risk "fatiguing the population" that what he was talking about was people getting irritated at having to get boosters all the time.

And for clarification, this is what I am referencing:

Marco Cavaleri: Yeah indeed there are two concerns here...is that if we have a strategy in which we give boosters let's say every four months approximately we will end up potentially having problem with the immune response and the immune response may end up not being as good as we would like it to be so we should be careful in not overloading the immune system with repeated immunization and secondly of course there is uh the risk of fatiguing the population with the continuous administration of boosters now as said if the situation from an epidemiological perspective is such that it might be the best option on the table then it can be done once or maybe twice but it's not something that we can think should be repeated constantly and it would be much better to start thinking about an administration of boosters that is more spaced in time and ideally if we want to move towards a scenario of endemicity then such booster should be synchronized with the arrival of the cold season in each of the hemispheres similarly to what we are doing with influenza vaccine so now we will have to think about how we can transition from the current steel pandemic setting to a more endemic setting in which this would be the desirable option."

And here is the associated section of the video:

 
If they could respond with just a tad bit of reasonableness instead of letting their TDS surface I don't think I would be leaning in that direction, but the more I see their crap the more inclined I am to have Trump run again and vote for just so I can see more of the following.


Wow, I've never seen the video, thanks! Laughter is good medicine.
 
Another one who doesn't understand the purpose of the EMA and does not understand what decentralized agency means.

What's difficult to understand? Some people appear vested in not wanting to understand.

Marco Cavaleri, a scientist, suggested we think more on subsequent boosters instead of rushing into it without studying the outcome.

Cavaleri said,
"Boosters “can be done once, or maybe twice, but it’s not something that we can think should be repeated constantly,” Marco Cavaleri, the EMA head of biological health threats and vaccines strategy, said at a press briefing on Tuesday. “We need to think about how we can transition from the current pandemic setting to a more endemic setting.”

They're running out of a crisis to exploit. Except the one about the state of our Democracy if they can't get rid of the filibuster.

I think they should worry more about the divisive, slanderous speech dear leader gave yesterday in GA.
I don't think comparing the senate Republicans to segregationists like George Wallace and the like went over very well....

Oh wait, maybe he should have thought more about his own hypocrisy before reading his progressive preparers' words off the teleprompter?


No fool like an old fool...

OK, so I probably misrepresented some of your viewpoints. I will point out where I think you are off base in your future posts because I don't want to go back and find your posts that I think are misguided.
 
It's lost its shine. Time for Biden's echo chamber do-gooders to get a new schtick.
Define "echo chamber do-gooders", please, keeping in mind that about 50% of the posts in this thread with close to 800 posts have been forth by you and one other person. Thanks so much.

Was he even able to not scramble the words on the teleprompter? I think he referred to Harris as the President again. :)

And you don't seem to understand the difference between 100% and not 100%.
You just don’t want to admit that when a state is heavily Democratic and is ordered to wear masks and are also vaccinated to a higher percentage than other states should not even get the virus at all and instead leads the nation. This is not a great debate tactic to ignore facts like this.

Come back when you can show us that the hospitalizations and deaths are among the vaccinated.

It's one thing to say we should study subsequent boosters first instead of rushing out and boosting everyone.

It's another thing to write this:

Another study shows the damaging effects of continuing to push boosters against the virus showing they are destroying our immune systems.

Marco Cavaleri did not even come close to saying anything like that. There is no study suggesting anything like this at all. It's not in Vespers own article. Nobody ever said this.

What Vesper said was 100% incorrect.

It's something Vesper made up out of thin air. Now, I don't know if Vesper intentionally lied or not, I don't think she did. I think she made a mistake, but I think if we are going to have debates about stuff like this, we should strive to be accurate and honest. I don't think that's unreasonable. Why do Trump supporters and Republicans think that's unreasonable? I don't think it's unreasonable to do your homework and actually read what you're posting. Why do Trump supporters and Republicans think that's unreasonable? It's just like normal every day common courtesy. You say what you mean, and you mean what you say, and there should be some expectation that you're not just pulling shit out of your ass. This is how normal people interact, but the moment people interject politics into a discussion it's all, "jsklafjlkdasjfkldsajfkledsjfkldasjdsfkldasjkfls"
