Guest Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 @Happy Blue where did you get that consent form from? There is a fake consent form being sent and I'm pretty certain it is that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From what I have read it is likely a fake consent form. The fact is happy blue has an understandable reason not to want to vaccinate. Is it logical? 100% no. Is it something that would cause most of us not to vaccinate? Probably Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 10, 2021 Share Posted October 10, 2021 @nudge there was this newspaper or website or something. It went around and exposed certain things. I think it proved that the Russians shot down that plane or something. Somebody told me about it and I looked them up. I think they were actually nominated for a peace prize. Anyway I like things like that. The reason is is that that is looking for evidence and then proving something with evidence. I'm always very sceptical of anti vaxers because they already have a result and its about twisting facts to suit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However I think it makes sense when you have little knowledge of science to trust the experts. Whatever research I do into something it will never be as much as what scientists have done. It makes sense to believe they know more than me. To be honest even if you very good scientific knowledge it still makes sense to trust that the experts know more. So in general I go with the scientific consensus. If that consensus changes I go with that. However it does also depend how many scientists would have to be dishonest for something to be wrong. If it would take hundreds or thousands of scientists to be lying for something to be faked I'm not particularly inclined to believe it. The reason is that it seems quite unlikely to be true. Or at least less unlikely than what they are saying. I dont know how many experts would have to be being dishonest for the vaccines to not be safe perhaps you do? Yeah, I'd say it's generally a good idea to go along with the position which is supported by a large body of clear and convincing data. As for your second paragraph, I think you're missing the point there a bit. Nobody is accusing scientists of being dishonest or lying, that's not the point. Let's not look for any conspiracies here. As for safety, any drug or vaccine always has certain risks and side effects; no drug or vaccine is 100% safe, and Covid vaccines are no exception. Clinical trials and current real-world data suggests that current vaccines are generally safe and effective in preventing severe course of disease. At the same time, there's also evidence of serious (albeit rare) side effects associated with some vaccines. In general, the benefits of a vaccine should always outweigh its risks - when new data from continuous monitoring and reviews suggests that in some cases it might no longer be true, the recommendations for vaccination should change - hence why in some countries certain vaccines are being restricted for certain age groups (AstraZeneca a while ago due to the risk of TTS, Moderna now due to the risk of myocarditis and pericarditis, etc.). As long as it all stays transparent and the data is easily accessible to everyone in order to make informed decisions, that's perfectly fine. Forcing people into decisions through political power is not fine though, at least not in my books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forcing people into decisions through political power is not fine though, at least not in my books. I'll respond better later because a bit busy. One bit I noticed is where you said the advice on vaccines should be updated. 100 percent agree. But to be honest with AstraZeneca in Britain they did stop it for under 40s. Which if anything is an argument for vaccines because as soon as date suggested it may not be as safe as they wanted they stopped it. I was actually willing to take AstraZeneca because I had more chance of dying on the journey home but was told I couldn't. I think we would both agree that people need to know the limits of their own knowledge. People need to know how much research goes into these things and that some great minds study these things. You cant disprove all this research with a quick google search Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted October 11, 2021 Share Posted October 11, 2021 I couldn't remember what it was called but I stumbled across it. The dunning Krueger affect is a bias where people with little knowledge of something overestimate their knowledge. I do wonder whether a lot of anti vaxers have this as they seem to think they know a lot more than they do ? Or do pro vaxers have it ??

Dr. Gonzo 8,190 Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 Looking likely that boosters are now going to be available to everyone here pretty soon. I think there's a bit of an ethical dilemma here in that: I would be totally fine with getting a booster and having a bit more protection from the virus - but I don't really think it's right that a country that's got so much vaccine skepticism is getting its booster jabs ahead of so many countries where demand for the vaccine is sky high and so many people haven't had their first or second jabs. Strikes me as wrong when it's a global pandemic and people should be getting the vaccine worldwide to really limit the spread of the disease and bring us back to normal ASAP. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strikes me as wrong when it's a global pandemic and people should be getting the vaccine worldwide to really limit the spread of the disease and bring us back to normal ASAP. This is also exactly what the biggest (so far) international panel of scientists said after reviewing currently available evidence from randomised controlled trials and observational studies published in peer-reviewed journals and pre-print servers a month ago - namely, their reccomendation was that booster doses for the general population are not appropriate at this stage of the pandemic, as current vaccine supplies could save more lives if used in previously unvaccinated populations than if used as boosters in vaccinated populations. They also suggested that if boosters are widely introduced too soon or too frequently, there's a risk that it could cause significant adverse reactions, and that could have huge implications for vaccine acceptance in the future. https://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-6736(21)02046-8/fulltext 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
