[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2639043]Sorry, John, that is just not true. [URL]https://peckford42.wordpress.com/2021/08/25/10-reasons-why-the-fda-approval-for-pfizer-jab-isnt-about-health-but-about-forcing-people-to-take-the-shot/[/URL].[/QUOTE]Interesting read. But wait, what is peckford42? It's a Canadian blog. And what was the source for their article? LifeSiteNews. It says so at the bottom of the page. So who is LifeSiteNews?
Well here is the first thing Wikipedia has to say about them:
"LifeSiteNews (or simply LifeSite) is a Canadian Catholic far-right anti-abortion advocacy website and news publication. LifeSiteNews has published misleading information and conspiracy theories, and in 2021, was banned from some social media platforms for spreading COVID-19 misinformation."

So basically we have an article written by a bunch of know conspiracy theorist crackpots. Where were the rest of the sources? There were none.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2639043]It's a huge problem that Peter Doshi, a senior editor at the BMJ calls the "elephant named waning immunity. " he cited Israel's Ministry of Health from early July showing Pfizer's vaccine was just 65% effective, which late July had dwindled to just 39% where Delta is the dominant strain. Apparently the downward trend is continuing. Considering that the FDA's own expectation is of "at least 50%" efficacy for any approvable vaccine. In terms of the vaccine "working," the FDA has violated its own low standards to fast-track approval for this vaccine and they haven't told us why.[/QUOTE]Peter Doshi huh? An associate editor at BMJ and an associate professor at the University of Maryland. OK moderate competencies. What do others say about his opinions?

These articles generally opine that Peter Doshi isn't all that good at analytics. Which of course would make him a real fan favorite of Elvis.
[QUOTE=Elvis2008;2639043]And if your side is so confident why the constant banning of things? Joe Rogan talks about the profits of vaccine companies, a doctor comes on and tells the truth that the vaccine is EUA, and says that the risk and benefit presented on all other treatments is being turned to the side with this vaccine. I can see why Pfizer wants this banned, but youtube? How much are they in Pfizer's pocket?
Furthermore, if you look at ivermectin versus the vaccine for prophylaxis, it is not even close. Ivermectin wins in a landslide. So why is no one talking about that or monoclonal antibodies? Joe Rogan does a series of treatments and gets better in a day and instead of figuring out why, people say they wish he died and that he took a "horse dewormer."
Is the goal of your party saving lives or making Pfizer its $36 billion?
That is a pretty good gig if you can get it. Taxpayers pay for the research, you have immunity from lawsuits, mandates that require your product, and you do not have to show safety data..[/QUOTE]Ahh yes Joe Rogan. Now there is a scientific researcher of great note. Oh wait, a UFC commentator, a comedian, game show host and finally a podcaster.
Here is a quote from Wikipedia:
"COVID-19.
In April 2021, in regards to the COVID-19 pandemic, Rogan stated his belief that young and healthy people should not be concerned about getting vaccinated. Rogan was criticized by White House chief medical advisor Anthony Fauci, who accused him of making misleading comments regarding the COVID-19 vaccines. Subsequently, Rogan backed down his statement, acknowledging that Fauci's opinion was founded on science, and calling himself a "moron" and "not a respected source of information".

Now with those splendid qualifications outlining his creditability, I can understand why Elvis would be eager to have Joe's podcasts open to the world.
If we are going to talk about science then let's stop trying to support our crackpot theories with blogs, and UFC color commentator analysis. Hey Elvis, how about using some of the real sources? You know. The kind that actually use science to support their conclusions.
