If we're just using anecdata, every single person I've seen comment about it on Twitter says nothing has changed. I haven't seen any difference.

I don't see a point in asking someonee else what they think, my personal experience is enough for me.

I reiterate that I was asking for actual data.

If the data does not support your pre-made conclusions, will you claim it is untrustworthy?

Claims (2, 4, 5, 6) are very weak because you are making them absolutes (e.g. "don't stop"). By themselves, these 4 claims don't tell us what our plan of action should be. They become misinformation when they are used as recommondations because they are missing so much context. For example, claim (6) about myocarditis is usually used to say that vaccines are dangerous and should be avoided. This is a wrongheaded exam…

Here's another absolute claim: there will be herd immunity at 70% vaccinated. There will be no fourth wave. 100% safe and effective. etc. etc. THAT is the language that was used to justify recommendations, and that was the real misinformation. Which you couldn't question at the time, until months later, when it turned out to be a lie. An intramuscular shot cannot create a targeted immune response in the mucus membran…

Thanks, these are much stronger claims, plus they include recommendations. This basically confirmed what I thought your larger goals were.

> I don't believe covid is more dangerous than the jab.

A million EU residents died of covid in 2 years. Even ignoring the cause of death, ~500k more EU residents died in 2020 than usual, predating the roll-out of the vaccines. (link will only plot individual countries, not the EU total).

I know this isn't focused on the (supposed) harms of the vaccines, but I don't think you're really appreciating how many people Covid killed.

Stuff also actually did break.

Yeah probably - I just wasn't aware of anything too high-profile or calamitous

IIRC two-factor authentication broke down for some hours.
