Yeehaw ! Ride that wave

J&J has been halted even in S. Africa ..

Paused, based on same 6 cases in US and none in SA itself.

Abundance of caution, but simultaneously giving oxygen to those who want to spread alarm.

These are the information websites I used for accurate stats and information on the pandemic:


https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/

This one has global and country-by-country stats, good for the overall current situation.


https://covid19.healthdata.org/globa...aths&tab=trend

This one has similar global as well as country-by-country stats, but I find it's future projections the most useful. It shows potential trend lines for virus under a variety of scenarios, which give an idea as to what is and might be happening with things in the future.

In the human body, for every action there is a reaction and no two ppl are the same. What does that tell you? It tells you that as far as vaccines go, some will be fine, others wont. Kinda like covid really.

Example, alcohol is good as a blood thinner but bad for your liver. Anti inflamms are good for pain but will mangle your kidneys, liver.

You could get covid vaccines and be fine as far as covid goes. Only as far as covid goes.

When my dad died, about four months after he was buried, I got a letter, addressed to my dad saying "you were recently treated for such and such and would you like to take part in a study?". They didn't even know he was dead. I have to dig him up first ya know? These are the same gobshites that put all these bullshit stats together. I'd take them with a pinch of salt.

Ok I'll bite. Tell me, what is it that you think is going to happen if you get the vaccine? What is it you are afraid will happen?

There must be something.

It's not so much that I'm afraid of it, more so that I'm not a believer in putting something into your body that's alien to it, that you don't need. Nobody knows the long term effects of these vaccines and everything you put into your body has long term effects.

You need to understand (and I think you agree with me on this one) is that the gov need to give a lot more clarity on vaccines. If they don't know enough to give more clarity, then it could be said that they are making assumptions. This isn't good enough imo.

Ok, but how do you fight illness - you're saying you'll take no drug to cure an illness?

As for the gov giving more clarity no I don't agree. All the information is freely available. If you're too lazy to spend a couple of hours looking things up then I don't think you have much of an argument when you start saying we don't know the effects, we don't know what's in it, "they" are pushing it on us, etc.

If you choose not to educate yourself, don't be surprised if others disagree with you when you spout disinformation or outright lies.

There we go again. All insults. Sounds like your ego is being bashed. Your scientific ego. It's your job so of course your going to defend it. Going to defend science. Try and answer something without getting your knickers in a twist and I might take you seriously.

By the way, how many ppl has sepsis killed? That's caused by chemo. What does chemo treat? Cancer. So you scientists really got that one right. Let's cut half the person's body off and then poison the shit out of it and when it can't take much more then blast a dose of harmless morphin. That's science for you.

No insult, just facts. If you don't educate yourself then you run the risk of coming off as an idiot.
