(love it now I am older.. hated that when I was a kid.. my sisters would get off of school for a week while I had to go) If anything I'll wait till November. I've already made up my mind that this is the final year I wear a mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vorg Posted March 13, 2021 #102 Share Posted March 13, 2021 The flu shot is not required yet tens of thousands of deaths occur in the US alone per year. My brother in laws friend had his perfectly healthy sister die of nothing but Covid last week. And so far WHO is reporting 0 Deaths from these Covid 19 vaccines. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is NOT a wild assumption that a mRNA vaccine has never been tried in humans and pushed out this fast. That's not a wild assumption my friend. No, tried is not a specifically human related term, although you are trying. It's not been rushed. It's had additional effort applied. Not quite the same thing, and it has been tested for over a decade in attempts to cure terminal diseases like cancer with poor results. Because of those years of testing the know more about it than you clearly realise. Good for you getting the needle, but don't think you're in an extremely high risk category. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best of luck because it seems that in the US, you'll need it (averaging about 60,000 new cases per day, just under 1500 deaths per day). 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet the risk is the same where working with viruses or bacteria or chemicals. So why are you working there? I'm thinking your not a researcher because the words you use are not consistent with a lab technician 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm thinking your not a researcher because the words you use are not consistent with a lab technician "So why are you working there?" Was the best paying job I could get. Pretty much the same as everyone else. You're right, I am not a researcher. I never claimed to be. Working in a research environment, guess what? Everyone there is NOT a researcher. Or a lab technician, lol. Does not mean I don't know anything about what's going on there. BTW, do you have a point? Are you saying that for some reason, I'm lying about who one of my clients are? If so, you should probably stop with personal attacks like that, because you have no idea who I am, or who I work for, and it's none of your business.

Of course that is not a worry. What people are worried about is that people will be coerced into it by threat of being unemployed, being unable to travel, or any other condition that will be life altering to that person, so basically being forced to take it. Any good labour lawyer will have a field day with that one. It would mean having to renegotiate every employees employment contract. I know that here in South Africa, dismissal on medical grounds is frowned upon by both labour and the unions without a long list of justifiable causes, so unless you have something really wrong with you such as Ebola or the Bubonic plague , never going to happen just because of non compliance over a vaccine shot.

I don't believe so but we have to wait for further information. To me, it is an example of a 'one in a million' reaction that no-one could have predicted. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You said let people make their own choices and deal with the consequences. So are you saying let people make the choice to get Covid-19 and possibly die? I think adults should evaluate their risk and choose to have the jab or not. I don't think employers or schools or any other entity should have the power to force compliance by restricting access to normal activities. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know about the UK, but in the US, there are anti-discrimination laws that will prevent even private companies from treating their employees in such abusive fashion. Some companies are going to try, of course, but the class-action suits that follow will be epic. Edited April 2, 2021 by ian hacktorp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian hacktorp Posted April 2, 2021 #119 Share Posted April 2, 2021 (Respectfully submitted) Question for Moderators: What is the official UM forum policy toward mentioning former Pfizer Vice President and Chief Science Officer Dr. Michael Yeadon, and his recent, highly relevant comments concerning COVID vaccines? Dr. Yeadon is eminently qualified to give his opinion on the subject and appears to be chiefly interested in saving human lives. Are we able to freely discuss his published opinion? Or should we just not "go there"...? Thanks in advance. - Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ian hacktorp Posted April 2, 2021 #121 Share Posted April 2, 2021 Instead of mandatory (and dangerous) vaccination, perhaps we should have 'mandatory outdoor recreation'... Trump Was Right: Sunlight Destroys COVID 8x Faster Than Scientists Believed, Study Shows Quote Research recently published by a team of academics at UC Santa Barbara found that the coronavirus is "inactivated" by sunlight as much as 8x faster than "current theoretical modelling" had anticipated. UC Santa Barbara assistant professor of mechanical engineering Paolo Luzzatto-Fegiz analyzed studies exploring the effects of different forms of UV radiation on SARS-CoV-2, and found a significant discrepancy, according to RT. ...an analysis of various studies of how different types of UV light interacts with SARS-CoV-2 found that COVID should disintegrate even more quickly when exposed to summer sunlight, which features more short-wave radiation, one reason risk of contracting the virus outdoors during the summer is much, much lower than being indoors in the winter. In practice, the team found that "inactivation" of virus particles rendered in simulated saliva was more than 8x faster than scientists believed in conditions similar to summer sunlight. https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/trump-was-right-sunlight-destroys-covid-8x-faster-scientists-believed-study-shows 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The claim that the vaccine causes infertility has been repeatedly debunked: https://www.webmd.com/vaccines/covid-19-vaccine/news/20210112/why-covid-vaccines-are-falsely-linked-to-infertility Just because Yeadon used to work at Pfizer doesn't make every word he utters absolute gospel - it's a logical fallacy to think otherwise. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian hacktorp Posted April 4, 2021 #125 Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) Yeadon was far more than simply a Pfizer employee...as honest folks would admit. If his words and opinion carried little weight, they wouldn't be quashed so quickly and desperately. Take heed, everyone. Eta: Nowhere have I seen Yeadon's remarks connected to "infertility", so, nice try...no cigar. Edited April 4, 2021 by ian hacktorp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
