« on: September 11, 2021, 06:31:32 AM »The question that medical professionals then have to ask themselves is; do the benefits of said treatment outweigh the potential risks?The medical community in the UK is now asking themselves that and their answer is hesitance and debate over to making boys 12-17 become vaccinated when the vaccination poses them greater risk than the illness it offers suppressed symptoms to.
For me personally, I have a 0.0003% chance of dying from COVID according to Oxford Uni, and a 0.0019% chance of suffering a deadly adverse effect from the vaccines. I decided to get the injection anyhow since my job would be requiring it, and 0.0019% is a tiny risk. However if someone looks at their risk/reward ratio and decides not to go with the higher risk option, or they look at that for their children, I don't think they're crazy. The bottom line is that there is valid medical studies and information around rare side effects and reactions to the vaccines juxtaposed against the amount of risk COVID poses to healthy young people, and it is giving some parents legitimate pause. Especially when there is an approved treatment for COVID and other treatments which show possible efficacy as well.
The cost benefit on lockdowns and mandates hasn't been allowed to be publicly discussed and debated, and this is a large part of what has contributes to people's skepticism. When people see the WHO, CDC, and Fauci himself lie about things, when they see major media corporations literally ban discussion of possible treatments, ban people for talking about the coming of booster shots one week before it was confirmed booster shots would likely be necessary, ban people for citing CDC information when it disagrees with the WHO, ban literal doctors from sharing legitimate information, see Fauci lie to congress about the NIH funding gain of function research, see that the virus came from an area of China in which there's a virology lab meant to study and develop viruses meant to jump easier from animals to humans but media corporations and governments seem to skirt around this, see the funding the WHO receives from China, see the government mandating a medical procedure for an overwhelmingly non-deadly virus, see Australia become a horrifying police state, see the sunk costs of governments having purchased billions of dollars of doses and so now if there's a valid treatment all that money goes down the drain, see that the big pharma companies in charge of creating these vaccines are given legal immunity from liability to any adverse effects, see that when China signed on to the WTO they literally had to agree to warn the world about any possible epidemics coming out of their country yet are not being held accountable, it doesn't create trust in these organizations. The amount of skepticism towards how this pandemic as a whole has been handled would be far lower if there wasn't such an overwhelming amount of subterfuge and control being asserted by institutions that we're meant to trust in order for society to function.
Instead, there's just pure vitriol being spat by media corporations and politicians towards anyone expressing skepticism that we should be forcibly implementing lockdowns and medical procedures, especially on kids. They will be called "anti-vaxxers" even if they've taken the vaccine themselves and/or taken every other vaccine under the sun no problem. Joe Rogan just this week was essentially defamed by media saying he took "horse paste" which is simply literally incorrect (and then many people wishing he would have died to prove the virus was dangerous rather than recovered to prove there are treatments and/or being healthy helps). If you really want to see how easy it is to spread medical disinformation, look at how easy it was to get thousands of people to start calling Ivermectin, a medicine that has been prescribed for humans billions of times over three decades and won the Nobel Prize six years ago for this reason, "horse paste". Justin Trudeau gets up in front of microphones and starts ranting and raving about "those people are putting us all at risk!" as if he's about to announce a final solution. Joe Biden is now implementing an illegal mandate which is going to essentially divide America further between red and blue states. Australia is essentially lost. France has women being beaten by police officers in malls for not having a mask and crowds had to come to her rescue. The entire world has lost its mind over a virus with an average 99.96 survival rate, driven by politicians who want control and media who make a profit off of fearmongering.
When two weeks to flatten the curve evolves into two years, two shots, a booster shot every five months, masks everywhere at all times, infinite lockdowns, never going near grandma ever again because the vaccines don't protect you from catching and spreading the virus nor her from contracting it, and your twice a day Pfizer pills to flatten the curve, people aren't crazy for pointing out that the deal was altered and for being skeptical towards those who offered it as they say "pray I do not alter it any further".
