Don’t know him. But I’d say knowing some information or knowledge doesn’t mean you make all the right decisions or that you know another related topic well (like nutrition). I’d be curious what his stances are on that.

But again, I don’t know him so can’t really say.

Have you actually not looked at the trials? They explicitly separate them and are required to for pre approval trials. The details of each can be found in all of the package inserts.

Where do we get this 99.9% number when the very science needed to make that claim has never been done? If one resorts to just pulling numbers out of one’s ass, you ought to realize such a thing is a *belief* and not science. I realize that you and I were told this is true, but why is the largest demographics of those who are certain vaccines cause significant damage, made up of mothers of autistic children? There’s quite possibly no group *less* incentivized to believe such a thing as this group, yet here we are.

And if we just look at the general health of the population over the last 30-40 years and the explosion of chronic disease, it’ll have to be profound for “the damage” of people skeptical of those who refuse to back up their claims to compare to the damage of the health establishment’s practices and standards and their results.

You can’t make a scientific claim when the very science needed to suggest it is safe hasn’t been done, and in fact those responsible refuse to do it and make excuses.

You can’t get both. Saying something is absolutely safe requires the serious, randomized placebo controlled trials that would be the beginning of showing this. And then the long term prospective comparison studies. These would be the absolute least possible to be able to back up that claim. And all of the above they refuse to do.

This isn’t to say vaccines don’t work, which some people think they don’t but I don’t see the evidence for that. There are some that seem totally ambiguous, but most work. And the very reason they do work (the adjuvants) is exactly why people are concerned about the safety an the fact that the companies responsible refuse to properly test them, and then demand legal immunity at the same time. That doesn’t pass the common sense test.

With respect, syncthing is a PITA an no average person is ever going to use that, imo. The average user thinks, “what can solve this problem.” They don’t think, “what set of different apps can I use to work together to partially solve this problem in an iffy and unreliable way?”

As someone who has spent years doing the latter with SO many different tools, I despise how annoying and unreliable it all is. No chance it ever becomes broadly used by others.

Again, there is no double blind placebo controlled safety trial. You can’t just say “they can do both at once” an ignore the fact that they simply didn’t do that.

I don’t know why they choose to do them separately, but they literally do. None of the efficacy trials test or look for any of the problems that people are concerned with. The record “redness at the site” and “sore arm.” Barely a handful of localized and low risk concerns. Why don’t you ask the manufacturers why they refuse to do a real safety trial?

And on your point that retrospectives are the only evidence against, you’re right, which is why for *decades* they have demanded a real placebo controlled safety trial. Broad retrospectives cannot prove or disprove anything, they are useful to decide whether something warrants much more serious scientific investigation. Which is exactly the point. The hundreds of mothers who walked into the pediatrician with a perfectly normal, loving child and had a child that reversed their potty training, stopped reaching up for hugs, and literally “turned off” within 24-48 hours of their visit are demanding the science be done. Yet the very institutions that should be required refuse to do so, and have co-opted th regulatory agencies so horribly that they bought themselves permanent immunity from any and all consequence relate to this “perfectly safe” product that they will not do a serious clinical safety trial for.


I’m sorry but tha just smells like bullshit from 50 different directions. And we went through this exact same thing for decades with the tobacco industry. They have scientific paper after scientific paper and retrospective studies upon studies showing how safe it was and that there was no way it caused cancer. Yet here we are.

I start looking when there’s a yellow flag. But when I spend dozens of hours and every single corner I think I’m about to find this “excellent science” I run into a dead end and an excuse… I’d have to be an idiot to take them at their word.
