Well, you've got me there. I don't think I have anything to counter such a clearly explained and well supported set of arguments. :rolleyes:

LOL. Spring is here. The birds are chirping, the trees are blooming, lizards running here and there, and after a long winter loafing and shut in and getting out of shape I am spending less time here and more where I really like, which is outside where I get exercise and vitamin D.

Well many of them do have credentials, certifications. There are ASE certified mechanics, as well as others. To let you know that the person actually has at least a clue as to what they are doing.

Much like an MD is an MD and could be licensed to practice medicine. But a guy with no education that has a podcast isnt exactly qualified to practice medicine, or to give medical advice.

Why not a Mcdonald's employee having BF after his name (burger flipper) or an insurance salesman allowed to use IS, or a window washer WW?

Insurance salesmen must be licensed.

The other two are basically unskilled positions and it doesnt take a lot of specialized skill to flip my burger and assemble it, although those people do work hard and should get basic respect.
But you wont really be too concerned that your burger flipper was insufficiently trained and made a mistake that killed you.

Nope
I provided excerpts though they are completely unnecessary of the person can and is willing to read.

All you people that trust in the vax that's your decision. Just be aware of myocarditis and what it is.

Thanks for your genuine concern.

I wasn't disputing anything you said.
And I wasn't saying you were pushing the vaccine, I was saying,
I don't care if you or anyone else does. People make their own choices.

Taking the Vax was my own choice for several reasons. Even if the vaccine had not been mandatory, I would have chosen to recieve it all the same.

I got Covid last year, T Giving weekend, with minimum side effects. If I had not taken the vaccine perhaps I would have been in the ICU, as I already have a lung condition.

I made the right choice for me. I am fully aware of the effects of any drug I put in my body. We could do without anti vaxers spreading misinformation, and there has been lots from those folks.
 
Nobody has anything to say about the NIH profiting off the vaccine? No conflict of interest there?

From people not in the field as that eliminates the bias and money and propaganda they need to use to maintain their "authority". Would anyone here ever expect a [riest to give opposing views to the sacrifice or resurrection? It is pure hogwash that a scientist or doctor isn't biased or spread BS just because of their titles. Didn't we learn this through the Twitter and FaceBook exposes where the FBI ordered them who to silence?

So who are these "not in the field" people you're getting clinical advice from; your plumber and his farmer buddy?

Possibly because a diesel mechanic isn't licensed to deal with life and death issues, and the enormous responsibility involved with treating the sick? Anyone can set themselves up as a mechanic with not a huge amount of training. Furthermore to become a medical practitioner takes an enormous amount of training; up to seven years including a five year university degree. To get to medical school in Britain you need to achieve high scores in Chemistry and Biology in your final high school exams.
After completing the medical school university degree course follows a period of two years additional basic training, after which one can receive further training in up sixty specialist disciplines. To qualify as a diesel mechanic, about six months. Does that answer your question?

I have a great carpenter that puts doctors to shame in the IQ department. My street sweeper buddy has more wisdom than any Democrat I know. Of course that is saying much, but still.....

When will you people admit the fact that the only people this has been inordinately deadly too is elderly people and the walking dead

see, this is the perfect post. it shows, with that word "inordinately" that people who die from COVID who aren't old or frail really don't matter.

i think it's what Jesus preached.

Do please let us know where your carpenter got his medical qualifications, and why he isn't doing a better paid job than sawing wood. While you're at it work on your comprehension skills.

Covid causes myocarditis more than the vaccine, just in case you didn't know.

www.heart.org

COVID-19 infection poses higher risk for myocarditis than vaccines

The overall risk of myocarditis was higher immediately after being infected with COVID-19 than in the weeks after vaccination for the coronavirus, new research shows.

My cardiologist said to get vaxxed and boosted with no worries.
I did 2+3=5, and I ain't dead yet.
This constant fear bullshit is ignorant

My heart is the same condition it was before Covid. I have a birth defect--it beats it's own rhythm :) But the vax and 2 boosters haven't hurt it or me.

So a bunch of insane, right wing Republicans make a video criticizing a vaccine that keeps people alive, prevents the spread of a highly contagious, highly deadly disease and you want "context"? The ONLY thing that matters is that our government has decided that the vaccine is necessary for the survival of this nation! If you can't trust the government then you're a traitor and, in the case of COVID, a murderer. The solution is simple, sit down and shut up. Don't say a damned word unless the people in this country that are better than you tell you it's OK to speak. It's the only way we can preserve democracy and freedom!

I know it’s sarcasm but you’re pretty much right. Good work.
