Try reading the source material and formulating your own opinion. Dead fish go with the flow.

There are few times in history the masses have been right. These days conspiracy theories are just becoming spoiler alerts. Those same “credible sources” were calling the lab leak theory “crack pot” barely 12 months ago.

sometimes the crazy person is rite and I do care where it came from.
this is to big to just look the other way and pretend it’s all a big conspiracy and such. We need to get to the bottom of this and find out exactly what happened and prevent this from ever happening again. Lab leak, wild bats or aliens….

The concerning things to me are: I can possibly spread the virus while vaccinated to my family and that there are Indonesian health professionals dying from a version of the vaccine distributed by China. WTF is going on with all of this? If this trend continues with other vaccines and our health professionals start passing away from this then we will have serious issues with staffing at hospitals. It’s seems to me that there will not be an end to this no matter how much we comply. If we don’t comply they’ll just lock us down again

Don’t worry. APC has plenty of medical experts to fill those vacancies.

Nailed it. So true.

But then we just transfer the problem. Who will fly the planes?

Its amazing the number of subjects that pilots are “experts” in.

I can’t argue with that, seems pretty true to me as well. I will say that, for me and the posts I’ve made, I have never claimed to be an “expert” on anything medical (except maybe prehospital EMS). However, I read as many journals and articles, watch interviews, and get as much information as I can get so I can then make an assessment. Once I gather the information, especially when there is conflicting information, one needs to use their critical thinking skills and discriminate to find out what you believe is true. I know what “side” of this argument I’m on.

no. Covid is still killing people. Sinovac efficacy is poor.

Just to keep the terms straight:

“What is the difference between efficacy and effectiveness? Efficacy is the degree to which a vaccine prevents disease, and possibly also transmission, under ideal and controlled circumstances - comparing a vaccinated group with a placebo group. Effectiveness meanwhile refers to how well it performs in the real world.”
