The curse of vaccines is that they’re victims of their own success. They are so successful in fact that people forget why we need them in the first place. That’s why we unfortunately need a control group.
Thankfully some people volunteer for that role …
I don’t know what word I want to use. Not unintelligent, not really dumb or ignorant (although the people who blindly follow others who tell them they’re bad are), stupid? But at the top it seems like there’s people saying this stuff who are seemingly none of those. Malignant, I guess?
Either way, people need to realize how important vaccines are.
Well, their kids are. They, no doubt, were vaccinated by their parents.
I feel sorry for people who sign up for vaccine trials and get the placebo.
I know a couple of anti-vax people who won’t take or get any vaccine, but they will happily buy unregulated dick pills from china.
Wait you know more than one anti-vaxxer and they all/both order dick pills, what are the odds.
Also, they don’t just sell them in the pharmacy like in the UK?
AFAIK, Cialis and Viagra (and their generics) are prescription only. So you can’t just have a discussion with the pharmacist to get those.
There’s often pills you can buy that contain those or similar compounds. Literally gas station boner pills. At least in my country the government is pretty good at finding/seizing them and releasing notices about it (if you look).
Edit: Just to make sure, do not buy these. They’re not regulated and can cause serious side effects. Go to your doctor if you need something like this.
Some of those illegal gas station pills cause priapism (erection for a dangerously long period of time), which could permanently destroy your ability to get an erection in the future if not treated.
I agree 100 % or other heart-related things depending on what else you may be taking.
Would never recommend buying them and am happy how the government is dealing with them.
Half the anti-vaxxers I knew had concerns what was in the shot but did coke all weekend.
Nobody was thinking straight during the Covid Panic. I got the vaccine because I’m the type of person it likes to kill.
But it surprised me that the crowd that are terrified of Forever Chemcalz, atomz, BPA, microplastics and frequently scream “Regulations are written in blood!” were chomping at the bit to force everyone to get injected with a product from Big Pharma that was fast tracked and bypassed all normal regulations to get to market as soon as possible by the executive orders of a billionaire president they despised.
Meanwhile, the MAGA crowd were booing Trump at his rallies when he told them to go out and get vaccinated.
The whole world had gone cross-eyed.
Yes it was fast tracked but it did not bypass all normal regulations.
Not only was the vaccine incredibly safe it was also incredibly effective.
Not only was the vaccine incredibly safe it was also incredibly effective.
Are you telling me, or are you telling yourself that?
I don’t know, man. They said the same thing about PFAS, thalidomide, the 1976 U.S. swine flu vaccine and fentanyl. You could have up to an 80% increased chance of exploding before the age 65.
This is just straight up misinformation.
Show the statistics on ‘an 80% increased chance of exploding before the age 65’ or look at every single study that show it’s incredibly safe.
Are you joking or is the whole world still cross-eyed about this?
I used to party hard and I’ve got fucked up with people going on about Covid vaccine as we are actively doing lines off a fucking table. When id point it out they’d say that’s different.
Idiots.
They’re right, we know exactly the kind of damage snorting powdered drugs has on your nose and heart. They were taking a calculated risk, you were just rolling the dice with your health. Owned again, liberal.
(I AM JOKING)
Had me in the first 95% I can’t lie.
Sadly, the stupid tend to breed prolifically, and anti-vax idiots often have a gaggle of spawn, and are keen to whelp more litters as the others die from perfectly preventable diseases
Ow, my balls
Go away! Baitin’!
I think about that often. The people who have the most kids are generally the ones who can’t afford them and have a harder time providing extra-curricular activities or those with more extreme religious beliefs who may opt out of scientific education. If your average Mormon has 3-4 kids and your average astrophysicist has 1-2, the population trend must eventually follow.
Mormons, Jews, Protestants and Catholics, and Muslims all seem to have more children the farther down the crazy path they go. I don’t know enough about other religions.
Of course they have many kids. They need to in order to survive their genes.
Many of their kids never reach adulthood.
In 1st world countries I don’t think that’s true at all…to the point where I’ll say you’re flat out wrong. At least for many, many years that hasn’t been the case.
Can’t comment about less fortunate countries though.
Not that many of them die in Western countries although they may have shorter overall lifespans. Doesn’t help that they add generations in 15-22 years instead of 25-40.
They’re just attempting an R strategy

nods The natural order.
Poor things, give them some homeopathic placebo at least
I can’t describe how many patients I see in an average week who are taking homeopathic stuff for their dental diseases and ask me hopefully if it’s working. No, magic toxin water has not cured your gingivitis or rebuilt your cavitated tooth.
I’m sad that my mom believed in homeopathy. She still went to doctors thankfully and got her cancer treated, but she wasted so much money on snake oil
The real deal 🔥
I honestly am starting to think the anti-vaxx crowd has been astroturfed by pharmaceutical corporations in order to convince the general public that anyone who questions Big Pharma is some loomy who thinks vaccines cause autism wants to drink raw milk.
I don’t get it, control group for which experiment?
Vaccines. As in every medication will go through this test where you give some meds to a group and none to another so you can determine if your new medication is any good.
Don’t know why you are being downvoted, it’s a genuine question. Just generally the control groups for a vaccines effectiveness when given to the public, example, comparing the spread of a virus to those vaccinated and unvaccinated, or comparing the severity of symptoms between the 2 groups.
