Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

If you read the article it says 14 out of 1250 had reactions which is slightly over 1%. You have a similar likelihood of getting in a car accident on the way to the vaccination site as having an adverse reaction.

Yeah I did read it. Your part is made up about the safety of the car ride verses the reaction correct?

They haulted the vaccine at 4 sites in NC. GA and NC health departments must be antivaxxers. Haha. I’d call that news worthy.

Far from it. Health departments are extremely interested in the health and safety of citizens. That is why they closed the sites so they can take every precaution to make sure the environment is safe for administering the vaccines. That's what we pay them our tax dollars for; and I, for one, am grateful.

The health departments doing their jobs properly is, again, hardly newsworthy. It's the least we can expect. The only reason the news makes it into a story is for clickbait. They know people just read the alarming headline and don't bother to get the context.

So to clarify:
It’s newsworthy that 1% of the people vaccinated fainted, with no indication that the fainting was caused solely by the vaccine instead of heat stress (suggested in the article) or other causes?
It’s not. Fortunately the US government and other safety agencies are happy to provide such statistics online, that are easily accessible to the masses

Which statistics do they provide? The average deaths on the way to vaccination sites? That’s made up. You said you had a similar chance of getting in a car accident on the way to get vaccinated. I am pretty confident that you made that up. Is that newsworthy?

 

[Qwerty3159]

Is that newsworthy?

Not in the slightest. We both seem to believe that 1/100 events are not newsworthy, which was my point.
I have to wonder if you are intentionally misunderstanding me at this point. I meant that is plenty of information online about the car accidents, which is what you were originally asking about?

You know, with all the fear-mongering about this vaccine (as well as other vaccines), it's no wonder people are fainting from anxiety.

I agree there has been fear mongering over this whole pandemic

I believe that the thousands of adverse reactions up to and including death from these vaccines is more than news worthy

What is newsworthy is anything that supports or can be spun to support your point of view.
One man's gospel is another man's conspiracy.

How can one intentionally misunderstand something? My point is that you compared the safety of the vaccine to the safety if driving to the site. I am telling you that I think you made up a comprison to make the vaccine sound as safe as a drive to get a vaccine. Correct?

People have a right to hear both sides, the pros and cons of any treatment before making a health decision. Its protocol for informed consent, so the fact the only the pros are being pushed on the vaccines and the cons are being silenced is very frightening from a medical professional point of view. We would never do that in Healthcare with anything else
