Wonder how many of those deaths could have been avoided with hospitals at normal capacity...Heart disease and cancer
J&J vaccine had some issues with it and was pulled promptly after that was out and was unavailable as a vaccine.
This the general air your covid grievances thread?
Confirmation bias >>>
People acting like they didn't concretely form their conclusions three years ago
Single data points are meaningless in the evaluation of trends. Public health policies rely on trends.Based on what I’ve seen, the conversations I’ve had, the number of elderly folks I speak with at my job that have had Covid and we’re fine, I DO think things were blown out of proportion when everything first started.
Because most people got vaccinated.Fast forward 3 years, many folks who have Covid don’t quarantine at all, if anything they wear a mask when they go out.

The purpose of the vaccine was to reduce the severity of the infection. Initially, the vaccine worked well to prevent symptoms from occurring, and as the virus evolved faster than we could update the vaccine, the effect against infection waned, but the effectiveness against severe disease remained.
None of this should be hard to understand, but for some reason, it is.
What part of "vaccine updates didn't keep up with virus mutations" don't you get?You mean the same vaccine that they told us stopped transmission but then later told us didn’t stop transmission?
What does that have to do with vaccines though?
Hell of a pivot
I have relatives that are in the medical field here and overseas. All of them had stories. One of them worked at the ER in a red state and would tell me how people with covid under her care died. Told me about people asking for the vaccine when it was already too late.It’s all hearsay to me, because I didn’t witness any of it with my own eyes.
This is my biggest gripe about this exchange: the fact that people treat science like a belief system. It isn't. It's simply the process of verifying hypotheses that are made about the observable world.I’m at the point where I don’t know what I believe, but I think the truth is somewhere in the middle.

There's no "truth in the middle;" there's what is, what isn't, and what we don't know yet. And for the things we don't know, we infer based on available evidence and our level of confidence in it, which can be quantified after rigorous analysis.
It's all educated guesses, not belief as in blind faith.
Can we compare the track record of mainstream media to alternative media?
I remember when 5G networks were turning people into Covid zombies
And this is part of the problem too, you cant bring up anything about mainstream media without people automatically bringing up extremes on the conspiracy end.
I think there’s a fine line between questioning things and thinking 5G caused Covid .
I was alluding to posts I have seen on this very website from the same people who say "you just believe everything the mainstream media tells you"
But go off
That’s entirely fair lol. But it doesn’t apply to everyone.
Ok.Belief as far as how truthful the messaging was, not belief in the science.
got the vacs as well but tbh i feel like i did it because it was the thing to do. i did my the vacs research for more than 3 mo … looked up stats/data, read posts on NT and i still was lostI’m not Anti Vax by any means, got the initial two shots and the first booster. Just calling out the inconsistency in the messaging is all.
Vaccine was/is a scam
Cry about it because a bunch of you about to flame me but it’s true
