Sorry, can’t find any better sources for this.
The animator then asked Maher what the “downside” of “getting a vaccine” was, which caused the comedian to go on an anti-vax tirade.
“The fact that you the fact that you don’t even have a clue what’s the cost of getting a vaccine that you don’t know the answer to that. You completely want to shut your eyes to the fact that there are repercussions to all medical interventions, including a vaccine, all vaccines,” he ranted. “They come, they say side effects, just like every medication does. You can see it in the literature. They can’t write it on their back on the vaccine. So you have to dig them. And of course, there is a vaccine court because so many people have been injured.”
Tbh this is the same reasoning that medical providers utilize for their own healthcare. I specialize in orthopedics and rehabilitation…
Yes I know more than the average Joe, but med school was a long time ago, and you aren’t really proficient in a field you aren’t actively practicing.
When I want to know if a vaccine is safe and medically necessary I look to my esteemed colleagues from the department of infectious disease. I don’t really see how anyone with an MD behind their name can really attempt to fool themselves that they know more about a disease and how to treat it than the entirety of specialized departments.
If my buddies from infectious disease are taking a vaccine, I’m not going to second guess it. To me, it’s the equivalent of seeing a bomb tech sprinting away from a ied, and then deciding that there’s no rush because you’ve never seen a bomb go off before.
I absolutely agree, and yet for years we’ve been seeing unmasked infectious disease experts at infectious disease conferences that (surprise surprise!) become super-spreader events.
It would be funny if it weren’t so distopian.
(FWIW, I think most conferences for aerosol scientists have remained remote or respirator required)

Thats not how masks work. But Im guessing you believe your “common sense” is better than years of epidemiology research…

Given a bucket of ping-pong balls, how many could you throw and hit a dartboard on the wall 10 feet away? Now put a chain-link fence in front of the board, say, about 5 feet. We all know that a ping-pong ball is easily small enough to fit through a chain-link fence. Now how many could you hit the dartboard with, through the fence? How many would get through at all?
Obviously, the fence would have no effect, right? You just have to think about the size of the balls for a few minutes, and apply some common sense.

In their defense humans practically run off of cognitive dissonance, just cause ya know something on paper often doesnt mean ya know it in practice. On paper I know how to make an IED, but if im being honest id probably blow myself up if I tried.
