Why don't they disclose the risks? Pharmaceutical ads all have about 30% devoted to all the potential adverse effects of taking the drug. The vaccine ads I have seen, lead you to believe that with the vaccine you will not get covid and that there is no risk in getting the jabs. In fact there is a virtual information embargo.

Vaccine manufacturers have no liability for their products, so no incentive for full disclosure.

Because the Covid vaccine push is political more than it is scientific. There is a political need for the vaccine to be both safe and effective. The results so far is that it isn't all that effective and the data about safety doesn't appear to be all that robust.

Care to share one of these vaccine ads with us?

Pfizer has liability for all the prescription drugs they advertise. Why not vaccines too?

Even if that was true, it would not answer the question.

But you know vaccines only exist for scientific reasons and all Republican politicians are anti-science.

There must be a lot of them. I do not watch TV much at all and still saw several during the MLB play off games emphatically stating if you don't want your kids to die get them vaccinated.

So, no actual vaccine ads. Just public announcements.

Every drug you buy or are prescribed contains a piece of paper stating all the risks, caveats and contraindications linked with it. That is a legal requirement. It is no different with vaccines. Those adverse effects are so rare as to be statistically insignificant. You're more likely to get run over by a truck than become seriously ill after vaccination. Over 300 million doses administered globally so far. Where are the scary statistics on these adverse effects?

Sensible advice. Why is that a problem for you?

The vaccines are extremely effective at preventing serious illness.

You are lying.
 
Lutherf said:
Yeah? If Trump were still president how many people do you think would be vaccinated by now?

This has no bearing on your lies about the vaccine, and your attempts to suggest the vaccine is not safe and effective. The effectiveness of the vaccine has little to do with the inaccurate mental model you’ve trapped yourself into believing.

However, if Trump were the President there would likely be only a modest increase in vaccination rate, with the bulk of anti vaxxers still largely rejecting it due to lies about the vaccine on social media and the pro Covid propaganda machine Trump helped put into place, where Republicans adopted early on the notion that victims of Covid matter far less than anything else, and they did this in an attempt to increase Trumps chances of re election.

Democrats, because they are not stupid, spiteful, and belligerent would be getting the vaccine at the same incredibly high rates.

Would you have chosen to get the vaccine?

Of course I would have gotten the vaccine if Trump were the President. Would you still be an anti vaxxer who continually makes shit up about the vaccine?

Those aren't ads and it's intereting what you think they said.

Yes, I would still have gotten the CV vaccine shot if Trump was President.

Reason: I did enough research on the Pfizer vaccine, the development and testing (trials) before making my decision.
FDA approval under the EAU required enough studies to convince me.

It is interesting how some are making the vaccine more about politics than the pandemic.

Imagine a lake filled with sharks. There is a bridge that crosses the lake. It was built in record time after unprecedented, rigorous testing. Many people have already taken the bridge, and the accident rate is no worse than on dry land. You have to cross this lake by some means.

Do you take the bridge, or do you swim with the sharks?

Shit, the VP made it about politics. The press made it about politics. Half the 2020 candidates made it about politics.

So has Trump and many of his supporters who hold an elected position.

I agree the press made it about politics. That includes MSM and alternative news.

I know this is hard for a lot of you to believe but many of the unvaccinated are NOT anti-vaccine. They tend to be hesitant due to all the propaganda surrounding both the virus and the vaccine. They simply don't believe what they are being told because it doesn't jive with what they are seeing on the ground. You've also got people that don't want it for religious reasons and then there are those like me that have a really good idea of what the risk is if I get Covid but much less of an idea of what the risk is if I get the vaccine. I have had bad reactions to the flu vaccine and haven't taken that in a couple of decades so I'm not all that inclined to take this thing. Furthermore, I am very much opposed to the vaccine mandates and the way they are being implemented. It's about as un-American a process as I have ever seen.
