    You mean the lies told about the vaccine? 

    It is based on an analysis by our team at the Brown School of Public Health, in collaboration with Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and Microsoft AI for Health showing that between January 2021 and April 2022, vaccines could have prevented at least 318,000 Covid-19 deaths. This means that at least every second person who died from Covid-19 since vaccines became available might have been saved by getting the shot.

    "Might have" is doing some lifting.
    I don't even know what to think of the vaccines anymore. I have four shots under my belt. I had covid about a year ago.

    Do I regret getting the shots? No; at least not yet. Will I again? Undecided. Probably.

    But we were sold:
    • It reduces the chance of getting covid  (Unsure; maybe before certain variants)
    • You need to get it so it won't spread (preposterous) 
    • It's safe (questionable; particularly in younger males)
    • It will reduce the severity of your bout with covid (True and seemingly the primary benefit it offers)

    "Conspiracy Theories":
    • It was shoved down our throats with the threat of people losing their livelihoods (True)
    • Societal benefit was marginal (Seems to be true)
    • Risky for individuals (True)
    • It's currently the vaxxed and not the unvaxed that are getting/spreading covid (Unsure; Never seen anything that will point to or for that)
    • Thousands of young male athletes are having cardiac episodes (Exaggerated but seemingly true)

    How is it preposterous that the vaccine reduced the spread.  You can't know whether it did or not because not everyone got the shot and there was no controlled test to determine if it did or not.  We know from other viruses that severity of your symptoms has a direct correlation with your viral load, and therefore the level of contagiousness.  So if you agree that it reduces severity, doesn't it stand to reason that it would reduce the contagion?

    Second, if 'thousands' of young males are having more episodes (do you have that data?), how do you know that is from the vaccine and not the virus itself?  Is the data locked in that people without the vaccine have a normal rate of incidence compared to those with the vaccine?

    & not for nothing, but the vaccine significantly reduced the severity of the virus for many people, resulting in fewer hospitalizations & deaths…. Suggesting the societal benefit was only marginal seems to be missing the forest for the trees here. 

    I don’t dispute that the vaccine didn’t do everything they told us (hoped?) it would, but that doesn’t mean the rollout wasn’t a net gain for society.

    None of those 5 things are actual conspiracy theories, and if the vaccine was effective in reducing severity, then it’s also true that unvaccinated people wouldn’t have died from Covid if they were vaccinated. Therefore the people who lied about the Covid vaccine led to people refusing the vaccine and a number of these people died as a result.

    What do you mean fooled? Does it really matter what the origin is at this point? Over a million deaths just here in America even knowing where the virus originated from wouldn’t have prevented the casualties! 
    it's the same thing to talk about a virus that escaped from a laboratory that was in collaboration with the American government and it's the same thing to talk about something natural??..of course not..

    Αgain..they told us that is 100% safe??..lie..
    they told us, ''get the vaccine so do not spread it??..lie..
    they yold us, ''get the vaccine , so dont get the virus??..lie..
    and the biggest one about the origin..
    how many vaccinated are now in the hospitals??..how many of the ''covid deaths'' are vaccinated and how many not??..

    I would assume that the medical investigation, development of vaccines, distribution of vaccines, societal handling of the disease is the same regardless of lab-grown or organic. Am I wrong?

    I mean, it hasn't been uncommon to hear about a young healthy sports player having a cardiac event.   I suppose you'd need to compare how many people this happened to precovid vs now, and what the vaccination status was.   Is it higher, is it lower then it used to be?  Is it happening more in vaxxed people, unvaxxed people, unvaxxed people that have had covid, vaccinated people who had covid, etc...

    Just saying it's thousands lacks context.   Is that Americans, globally, what the population size, how does it compare to pre covid etc.    How long of a period of time is it over, 2 or 3 years, what's the annual rate, how does it compare to precovid.   How does it compare in vaxxed people vs unvaxxed people who had covid.. etc..

    You kind of need context as to whether 1000's is different than normal?

    Who is “they”? Any information from reliable sources with a scientific background acknowledged the risks, said accurately that you’re less linely to soread it when vaccinated, and that it reduces severity. 

    So again, what about the lies told about the vaccine that led to people dying because they decided to not get it?

    Share your source for this information. Show us where thousands dropped like flies because of the vaccine as you appear to be implying.

    • It reduces the chance of getting covid  (Unsure; maybe before certain variants)
    • You need to get it so it won't spread (preposterous) 
    • It's safe (questionable; particularly in younger males)
    • It will reduce the severity of your bout with covid (True and seemingly the primary benefit it offers)

    "Conspiracy Theories":
    • It was shoved down our throats with the threat of people losing their livelihoods (True)
    • Societal benefit was marginal (Seems to be true)
    • Risky for individuals (True)
    • It's currently the vaxxed and not the unvaxed that are getting/spreading covid (Unsure; Never seen anything that will point to or for that)
    • Thousands of young male athletes are having cardiac episodes (Exaggerated but seemingly true)
    What if I told you covid was causing heart problems in young male athletes long before the vaccine was available? Because it was… 
    Really now??..thousands felt down like flies, almost all of them double and triple vaccinated..
    I mean, it hasn't been uncommon to hear about a young healthy sports player having a cardiac event.   I suppose you'd need to compare how many people this happened to precovid vs now, and what the vaccination status was.   Is it higher, is it lower then it used to be?  Is it happening more in vaxxed people, unvaxxed people, unvaxxed people that have had covid, vaccinated people who had covid, etc...

    Just saying it's thousands lacks context.   Is that Americans, globally, what the population size, how does it compare to pre covid etc.    How long of a period of time is it over, 2 or 3 years, what's the annual rate, how does it compare to precovid.   How does it compare in vaxxed people vs unvaxxed people who had covid.. etc..

    You kind of need context as to whether 1000's is different than normal?
    Why you gotta be sciency?

    Αnd again, why is it so hard for you to admit that we were fooled, that we were told a bunch of lies??
    What do you mean fooled? Does it really matter what the origin is at this point? Over a million deaths just here in America even knowing where the virus originated from wouldn’t have prevented the casualties! 
    it's the same thing to talk about a virus that escaped from a laboratory that was in collaboration with the American government and it's the same thing to talk about something natural??..of course not..
    I would assume that the medical investigation, development of vaccines, distribution of vaccines, societal handling of the disease is the same regardless of lab-grown or organic. Am I wrong? 
    How about the moral issue??

    You mean the lies told about the vaccine? 

    It is based on an analysis by our team at the Brown School of Public Health, in collaboration with Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and Microsoft AI for Health showing that between January 2021 and April 2022, vaccines could have prevented at least 318,000 Covid-19 deaths. This means that at least every second person who died from Covid-19 since vaccines became available might have been saved by getting the shot.

    "Might have" is doing some lifting.
    I don't even know what to think of the vaccines anymore. I have four shots under my belt. I had covid about a year ago.

    Do I regret getting the shots? No; at least not yet. Will I again? Undecided. Probably.

    Hand on heart answer me please, let's say two years before and two years after the virus, you hear about the same frequency of deaths??..

    You can’t show us where “thousands are dropping like flies” [from the vaccine] because it simply isn’t happening.

    No, you just can't connected..only in 2021, 108 FIFA footballers died or suffer..its all out there..

  • you really need to do better homework. 

    “Reuters looked into the list of 108 names provided by Real Time News (bit.ly/32pqrt7 , page 6). It appears to be compiled using news reports of the deaths of 108 people, aged 12 – 64, worldwide.
    Among the sports attributed to the names are American football, archery, athletics, badminton, ballet, baseball, basketball, body building, boxing, canoeing, cricket, cycling, field hockey, footvolley, handball, ice hockey, rugby (league and union), soccer, table tennis, tennis, volleyball and weightlifting.
    While it is true that many of the deaths were linked in news reports to heart issues, there is no current evidence that they prove a common link between COVID-19 vaccines and fatality.
    In 53 cases, a cause of death was reported. These include heart attacks brought on by previously known or unknown heart conditions, while others included prior COVID-19 infections, a cerebral aneurysm, a traumatic brain injury, a motorbike accident, one suicide, two suspected suicides, heat stroke, and a rare congenital condition – anomalous origin of coronary artery.
    Moreover, one case was reported in August 2019, prior to the pandemic, and another had a family confirm their relative was not vaccinated.
    Some of the listed deaths also occurred prior to vaccine rollouts for respective age groups in certain countries.“
