So if you don’t like the mRNA vaccines you have “general vaccine scepticism”? What kind of sceptics website is this? mRNA treatments have nothing to do with any vaccines I’ve had. They are a form of gene therapy.
This is what comes of just quoting an MSM article verbatim, rather than doing any sceptical journalism.
The European hesitancy and precautionary principle means that their countries will be in totalitarian lockdown for years to come. It will never be safe enough to do anything for a great many people. Somebody might catch a bad cold.
Let’s hope Britain doesn’t follow them down that path. The problem with the success of flu vaccinations is that very few younger people have ever had the full fortnight of flu or anything else really serious and have no idea how bad it feels – or how it feels to recover from such an illness.
Which makes Covid, at two or three times as bad as a nasty flu, very scary indeed, particularly when people are filming themselves looking like they are at death’s door on day 10 – just before they start to get better.
“Covid, at two or three times as bad as a nasty flu,”
That’s true of the fatality overall, but for most people under 65, flu is two or three times as bad as Covid, given the differences in the shapes of the fatality curves. The risk of death from Covid if you are under 65 is something like 5 in 10,000.
As for the precautionary principle being adopted by some of the European nations’ drug regulators – I’d like to see a bit more of that here. Seems to me they are doing the job the UK MHRA should be doing – protecting their public against hastily introduced pharmaceutical products which are starting to exhibit alarming symptoms of causing injuries and deaths in young, healthy people.
Of course it would be nice to see them investigating the Pfizer vaccine as rigourously as the AZ one, but I am sure that time will come.
A bit surprised that this document is not highlighted.You have to be very careful just quoting MSM and indeed any verbal communication from EMA as circulated.If you check this written report it is now a safety signal,The whole discussion is about a specific syndrome now very suspect,which has also got a namne VIPIT(Vaccine induced protrombin immune thrombocytopenia).As the article says nothig to do with common thrombosis now peddling around by MSM.How common is this? Nobody knows but in Norway 1 in 15000 vaccine doses had this syndrome and died.Norway will decide today but please report on ATL also on published document that this is not a wild scare from antivaxxer but being “upgraded” even by EMA as a safety signal.
