In any biostatistics project, we have to segment patient population into groups based on an amazingly large set of variables. race, sex, approximate age, approximate location, distance from doctor, economic status are just the first few. All of these can have an impact on outcomes that has to be managed. Yes, a persons race does have an impact on outcomes regardless of economic factors. Recently, a few conferences ta…

Well the weird part here is it's separated to white and everyone else

I know of no variable we are trying to isolate with a 'white' vs 'everyone else' besides, perhaps, a hamfisted approach at trying to stratify over racism. Its very possible that the race of the healthcare provider has an impact depending on the race of the person receiving treatment, but I have no idea why they would make it 'white vs non-white' as the criteria.

I certainly wouldn't.

You weren't unable to attend anything. You had an option to attend the event - get vaccinated. You chose to not attend the event. The only thing "keeping you" from it is you.

That's a great point. Next up, we'll make sure Muslims can't go to the same conference because they chose not to go. Maybe your next thought is the vaccine makes the conference safer. Let's play Choose your own Adventure. You have to sit next to someone on a crowded airplane in economy class for 3 hours and this person loves to talk. You get to choose that this person is either a) vaccinated, or b) tested negative fo…

>which produces a spike protein for a short time that your body then reacts against

It was claimed previously to be 48 hours. That always seemed extremely suspicious to me as the shot is permanently altering your immune system. What would make it suddenly stop producing spike protein?

And finally this study came out:

https://www.cell.com/cell/fulltext/S0092-8674(22)00076-9

They found the spike protein persists in the body for at least 16 days post-vaccination and the antigen can be found for at least 60 days. That is longer than getting covid via infection.

Again, not to further inflame, but no corners were cut for the trials. The only thing that happened was the Federal government covered the costs to do all parts in parallel (for Moderna, kinda also for Pfizer with the APA, but more complex). Typically longer is between the safety trial and the efficacy trial, but almost all side effects ever observed for previous vaccine trials show up within 6 months of the phase 1…

Corners were indeed cut. Reproductive toxicity was not studied. At vaccine rollouts, reproductive toxicity was only studied on rats, then about a year later there was finally a single very narrow study of a few dozen women, after billions of doses were administered. More generally, the control group was lost during the trials (they vaccinated the control group). I don’t have time at the moment to dig up my sources ag…

"Cut corner" means skipping a step that normally happens. I couldn't find out if the CDC usually does reproductive toxicity studies for vaccines, and if "only studied on rats" is usually sufficient.

> about a year later there was finally a single very narrow study of a few dozen women

This one from January covered >2000 women: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35051292/

There is no herd immunity in play with anyone vaccinated with COVID-19 mRNA vaccines. Please remove that from your vocabulary when referencing the vaccines for one reason: they do not provide immunity and never have. Hence there is not and will not be herd immunity from vaccinations alone. Please, spreading this nonsense does not help anyone. You are lying which makes you look bad (or if you think it’s actually true,…

Religion, unlike race and sexual orientation, is a choice. (deliberately omitting any comment about gender...)

In fact, this is how some churches work. If you want to use church services, consider converting.

Quick Googling shows that the cold and flu can impact ovulation. So it is not a surprise that Covid or its vaccines can as well, since it often presents as more severe. It was still the correct choice of action for you to get the vaccine and potentially delay conception. It is safer for you and the baby if you are vaccinated. This study is just providing confirmation to something that all medical professionals likely…

> It is safer for you and the baby if you are vaccinated. Do you actually know this to be true?

Could have added a qualification like "according to best available data", but that would sound scary.

But then, they probably thinks it's true regardless.

Which numbers have been cooked?

I remember outright lies coming out of the WHO and governments regarding the usefulness of masks (out of a fear of running out of stock for health professionals), and regular exaggerations of the benefit of vaccines coming from politicians (at least in France), where they were drawing a stark black and white picture of a much more nuanced reality.

However, I don't remember seeing false epidemiological data coming out.
