TheGuySwann (npub1h8n…rpev) isn't reasoning well but the gestalt of his argument is valid. If vax administration causes system-wide inflammation, then what if the cure is worse than the disease? This hasn't been adequately studied. Lifelong allergies for 50% of population, and continuing propogation of weak genetics, and way too many old people dying of chronic diseases that need long term care, vs 20% of your sickly people dying and leaving the gene pool, and folks dying younger but more quickly and not taxing the system. What if that's what we're looking at? Nobody asks that question. Half (made up stat) of my younger colleagues want people to live forever and are afraid of death. My older colleagues are bleeding hearts and want to eliminate suffering.
Doctoring needs to focus on relieving the suffering of the individual, not groups. There is a fine line between using evidence to guide care for an individual (i.e. which med works for this?), and using it to dictate public health. The key is in admitting you don't know what you don't know. And you don't know what you didn't measure.
The corruption and hubris of the scientigic community and medical system in the US is sickening. I happen to have dipped toes in both pools, and internationally. The vast majority of us who are actually caring for people don't have the bandwidth to adress even a fraction of the problems. We usually can't even verify the quality of evidence handed to us, instead outsourcing that to a third party.
Lastly, it's okay to call out poor reasoning, sensationalism, etc., but I find it poor form to assign another human a "lane". Really, this lane of health is everyone's.
