> Recent study: no increase in death (cardiac or all causes) in ages 12-29 after mRNA vaccination. There was an increase in cardiac and all cause deaths after a SARS-CoV-2 infection. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-023-36494-0
@jeffcliff@mike805@sj_zero Jeff, nearly everyone on Fedi is BASED in reality. We got kicked off of normie platforms for telling normies that the vaccine is a death jab, which it is. Snap out of it.
@jeffcliff@sj_zero If they try to research these topics, most people will just go away more confused than they started out, and probably do nothing.
Each side will say "you cannot listen to those (greedy pharma people/irrational anti-vaxxers).
Other than using violence to suppress one side or the other (which some people want) there doesn't seem to be any way to drive this toward honest consensus.
Same for the other political issues. Humans just cannot reason about tribal identity markers.

more FUD

The first step is for people to acknowledge reality. Which the antivaxxers almost never do.

Sure we can. And vaccines are not a tribal identity marker, unless you make it one.
generally: you're speaking as if the past 2 years haven't happened. This sort of reasoning went out the window as soon as actual hard data on what the vaccine, and covid does came out.
@jeffcliff@sj_zero When you try to research politically hot topics (COVID vaccine health effects, transgender medical treatment health effects, and global warming are big ones) you will find there is no reliable source of truth.
There are two sets of sources with wildly different data, divergent analysis of the same studies, and a tendency to kick out anyone who is not on side.
And both sides of each debate are willing to fudge data to prove their points.
Considering that we know what they do to wrong thinkers, how could you possibly believe anything that's written in any of those journals anyway?
There were published studies showing that cigarettes didn't cause cancer because the cigarette companies were pushing the needle for their own benefit. Given the biggest power and money grab in the history of the world, this particular lobby is a lot stronger than the cigarette companies.
