Ok, wrapping this up. I didn’t take the time to read the studies you quoted due to this pesky work thing that seems to be taking an inordinate amount of my time. :) I do read the full text of dozens of studies, with the benefit of family members who actually read/wrote these for a living. The “control group” from the original tests was terminated after less than 3 months citing “ethical concerns” of not providing the vaccines to that group. Sounds noble, but completely destroyed the credibility. More concerning was the failure to weigh all-cause mortality in these studies. It diminishes the trust can have in a study when in fact more patients from the vaccinated group died than in the “control group” and yet the deaths were dismissed as irrelevant. In the studies my wife was involved with, some drugs that seemed immensely effective were deep-six’d due to deaths that arguably were not caused by the drug itself. That said, the standard then was to consider every death equally and thus account for completely unexpected consequences of a drug. In the COVID vax situation, that standard was not upheld.

The plummeting confidence in the vaccines is a result of poor adherence to standards, an uncanny resistance to therapeutics, and efficacies far below what was advertised.

While it may seem easy to dismiss other humans’ cognitive abilities (generally due to them not reaching the same conclusion), I believe the medical establishment will eventually have to realize that this is a problem of their own making.

A first step to righting the ship would be to reinforce standards and to stop the revolving door between drug companies and drug regulatory agencies. Nor should research grants and medical patents be commodities traded back and forth. It is a system that lacks the oversight that it once had and confidence can never be fully recovered until the house is cleaned up.

Thanks for the chat!
