If you don't know how citations and data work and are incapable of following them, even in an "opinion" piece, that's your problem.

>Safe and effective... Every day that becomes more untrue in highly vaccinated populations like the UK and Israel, whose hospitals and morgues are full of vaccinated people.

There is substantial risk when it comes to mass vaccination in the middle of a pandemic as well, especially with highly infectious and rapidly mutating viruses, coupled with vaccines that are extremely ineffective at preventing spread.

Calling it "conspiracy claims" doesn't suddenly invalidate the overwhelming amount of empirical evidence.

So will you refuse to go to the hospital if you get covid - because they aren't following the same sources of what is effective treatment that you do? If you break your leg or have a heart attack will you study up or go to alternative places for treatment? I suspect you would go to the hospital in those cases, because people are only convinced that in this one instance there's a giant lie or something.

I won't need to go to the hospital because I have natural immunity from an infection that was so mild I'm not even sure when I had it.

False equivalence. The treatment methods for heart attack and broken legs have a long history and wealth of data. I gladly take every other vaccine for the same reasons.

They are not reliant on brand new techniques for which no long term testing or data exist against a threat that has repeatedly resisted vaccination with disastrous results historically. They are also not treatments propped up by singular hundred billion dollar companies who have a massive interest in their product being pushed as the only effective prophylactic. Companies that are set to make $30-50 billion, and also happen to be some of the largest lobbyists in the world.

Would you accept Ivermectin as a treatment prescribed by your doctor in India or Japan?
