Of Freedom, Country and Vaccination

[dirkfansince1998]

Again, the answer to your question not as simple as it sounds because it depends on 

1) Who are you evaluating the safety profile for?   Age, health profile, do they have antibodies already, etc. 
2) How reliable are the statistics we are getting which in turn depends on how complete and accurate the data inputs are. 

I think it is more about the style of presentation when it comes to your opinion and the people you quote. Maybe the expert discussion process isn´t as visable in mainstream media as it should be. Especially in the USs divided media landscape.
Question is if the right response is to quote questionable characters like Ritsch, Gold, McCullough and other prominent anti vax campaigners. It seems like a lot of people are quick to distrust mainstream media, federal agencies, big pharma or the government. Fair enough. But there are other ways to do it. No need to quote phyisicans turned snake oil salesmen. I thought that´s the kind of corruption and lack of transparency we are trying to fight.

Take a look at the way the people you are refering to operate. Most of them are connected to movements like the FLCCC or AFLDS. Why aren´t they supporting the vaccine? Because it is political. Because they are making money. Taking advantage of desperate and gullible individuals. Asking for donations. Charging 90$ for simple phone calls. Selling drugs. Linking people up with doctors that are willing to hand out drugs that aren´t included in the guidelines. Ivermectin and other so called "miracle drugs" are cheap. So why are they selling them for hundreds of dollars.

There are reasonable questions about the vaccine safety. Just need to ask them and we can get into a debate about the pro´s and con´s.  I am happy that you picked up the myocarditis/pericarditis example. That´s not important for the majority of people but should be considered for younger men or children. In a lot of countries that is already the case. Maybe the US are a little bit behind the trend.
And just to prevent any misinformation. Based on the available data the risk to suffer from COVID related complications is still way higher. Even for younger men.
