Ja, the Woodcock memo revealing that she has been getting warnings from healthcare professionals about adverse reactions to the covid vaccine, very light entertainment indeed.  But if light entertainment is the source of what might be an important signal, so be it.

> which is the world’s medium for free speech. 

So is the wall of a stall in a public bathroom, and both are full of shit; a good example of that would be the following…

I see, so your theory is to label anyone who opposed or even asks questions about your totalitarian approach to a medical treatment is full of shit.  Opposition is heresy.  Thanks for clarifying that stance.

>…Bombshell? More like a wet firecracker. What did you expect? Never in the history of the US has a major new drug vaccine or medical procedure been approved without somebody talking about hypothetical negative side effects….

This one was different in two ways: anyone talking about negative side effects was given the kind of response that you are doing right now.  The second way it is different is that Woodcock isn’t talking about hypothetical negative side effects, she is referring to healthcare professionals who she knows personally who are contacting her, reporting having observed adverse events post vaccination in their own patients.  Sure we can’t prove causation from correlation, we know.  And we can actively prevent documenting the cases, for in science if an event is not documented, it never happened.  We know.  The best way to prevent adverse events was to prevent them from being documented.

> This leads to an obvious question: Why are we just now hearing of this? 

>…Because there was nothing new in it….

Nothing new.  Heh.  Many of us know people who experienced adverse events, but noted that with all the systems in place to detect the phenomenon, The Science declared the vaccines safe.  Woodcock’s comment damn sure is new to me.

> 27 May 2021 was over five years ago.

>…Yes, we know a lot more about Covid and the vaccine than we did five years ago so today it's even clearer than it was then that the risk of taking the Covid vaccine is tiny compared to the HUGE risk of not taking the Covid vaccine…

That’s a different argument from the one used to demand that minors take the vaccine.  We already knew by the time the vaccine was available that covid was very low risk to them.  It made the rounds in the schools, but none of the students were made seriously ill by it.  For reasons we still don’t understand, there was a known elevated risk of myocarditis and endocarditis in young people who took the vaccine.  And yet, the young were the ones who were subject to the most pressure: they were excluded from school events if they were unvaccinated.  Businesses pressured employees to get the vaccine, but they didn’t have the kind of leverage the schools had with students.  Businesses knew if they compelled employees to be vaccinated, then subsequently the employee had an adverse reaction, the company would be sued to the cufflinks.  Schools didn’t need to worry about that.

One of the interesting early observations is that if students did have adverse reactions to the vaccine, it was to the second injection rather than the first.  Yet most of the hypothetical protection was from the first injection.  Optimal solution: take only one.  School activities directors who excluded the unvaccinated included those students who had only one vaccination.  So… once the students understood that, many of them took only one of the injections.

Well OK then.  By that reasoning, why not split the vaccine into four parts, note efficacy and adverse effects after each of the four injections?  And if that works, why not split it into eight?  

Reasoning: we learned after the fact that what we were told was a vaccine was really immunotherapy: it aided the immune system temporarily but did not produce long term immunity.  Well OK, no problem, take the dose which was intended to last a year, break it into 52 doses and take one a week.  Use epipens, so the patient injects themself, for convenience and cost savings.

Excellent news is this.  Having lost a friend recently to melanoma, this has my attention.
