    Police believe CDC shooter thought COVID vaccine made him sick: ReportPolice Believe CDC Shooter Thought COVID Vaccine Made Him Sick: Report - Newsweek

    Reports that deceased shooter believed the Covid vaccine had sickened him. Two possibilities I guess:

    1) He and others (right-wing media, podcasters, some posters here) are right. The vaccines were rushed out, not tested enough and could cause serious side effects like this guy experienced - including murdering the heroic cop that responded from the neighboring county. I do believe the President claimed it was a victory for his administration.

    2) All the “negative” reports about the vaccines is/was hogwash and those same sources that spread misinformation now have blood on their hands.

    We have a dataset of over a billion people, it’s one of the most studied medications in history, we know exactly what the vaccines did and didn’t do. People can debate the overall idea of using the word “vaccine”, but the effects to date really aren’t debatable.

    All new medications and drugs go through at minimum, three trial phases. So did the COVID vaccine. There were several reasons why the vaccine was fast tracked.

    One, the inactive ingredients in the vaccine had already been tested. No reason to test them again.

    Two, the vaccine skipped to the top of top of list when results were ready to be studied and released. Under normal circumstances, it's first come first serve for results, and the waiting period is often 9 months or more.

    Three, the mRNA vaccine requires only the isolation of the right mRNA strain. Traditional vaccines takes injecting live viruses into thousands of eggs until you find a variant with the right mRNA that won't make people sick. This process could take years, versus weeks.

    The idea the COVID vaccine wasn't tested is false. The idea it's dangerous is also false. Hundreds of millions, if not billions were vaccinated. And world health has shown no ill effects.

    How do you explain my double-salsa’ing? COVID vax only makes sense.

    Have to be honest, I’m considering going Full Queso too.

    What is perplexing to me is that those who are antivax are obsessed with it. It is truly like a religion. It seems to be the most important thing in their life.

    Every drug in the known universe has potentially awful side effects, except for any of the covid vaccines of course.

    I especially like the drug commercials that tell you not to take it if you are allergic to it

    Most of that is legal CYA or the side-effect is incredibly rare relative to the benefit of the drug.

    Vaccines are designed to create an immuno response, so most side effects are whatever the body does as part of that immuno response (soreness, headaches, fatigue, etc). Typically these are all temporary. With vaccines the severe effects are basically those with allergic reactions, which are roughly 1 in 1,000,000. Other drugs work in different ways, anti-depressant for example function by altering a persons brain chemistry so that’s why we might see seemingly absurd side-effects like “may increase suicidal thoughts”, but for all those drugs you must know the side effects are not all common, they also list the rare side effects.

    I would recommend a new thread title.
    Doesn’t matter if he was sick, doesn’t give you right to shoot in public and murder innocent cop.

    And how many people's doctor/patient rights were violated to achieve that number of forced vaccines? Do we still have medical privacy in this country? Or... are we going to act like we have socialized medicine here in the U.S.A. where the government knows what's best for everyone? These are the contradictions that the advocates for government forced vaccines have not really considered. Do we really have doctor/patient privacy over socialized medicine government controlled mandates? Or not?

    It's a common misconception that Trump mandated vaccines... he did NOT.

    Pfffttt...

    Here is Trump talking about his completely safe and 95% effective vaccine and damn near claiming he single handedly made it happen.... You can't gas light your way of what a POS Trump is for bringing this plague into America and creating all these shooters like this guy...

    He was lied to by the people around him, and he still did NOT mandate vaccination shots. Yeah, and I suspect that whole thing will be re-litigated before 2028. Who knew what and who LIED STRAIGHT UP... This is all about Fauci and a few other bad people.
