mRNA vaccines are not experimental. They went through the same testing as any other vaccine before approval and deployment.
‘Traditional’ vaccines also carry side effects. The Hep B vaccine that may have harmed me was traditional as was the Pandremix flu vaccine that caused instances of narcolepsy in 2009. The question is whether the benefits of a vaccine outweighs potential harm from them. The hard science in relation to the covid vaccines gives an unequivocal ‘yes’ to that question.
You are absolutely right to look at what people might get out of the stuff they publish. In the case of the anti-vax industry you need to consider whether they are making money out of promoting ‘detox products’ or are getting advertising revenue or appearance fees from the right wing evangelical American TV shows that like to feature them.
The potential side effects listed by Dr Oliver such as clotting and thrombocytopenia from the AZ vaccine and myocarditis from mRNA vaccines were well covered in the media after they were detected and resulted in amended guidance upon their use. Again, you have to weigh that against the risk from the disease itself.
This is a prime example of the way in which the science is distorted.
Of course there was no transmission testing. Doing that would involve deliberately exposing vaccinated and unvaccinated people to a potentially fatal disease to see what happened. Such testing would be unethical and probably illegal.
Note the use of the word 'admission' in the reporting. Classic dog whistle stuff. Reporting 'He was asked a question and answered it' would not have been so s3xy.
It’s well known that people from ethnic minorities suffered disproportionally from death from covid. That is one of the issues being explored by the Covic Inquiry. My guess would be that it reflects pre-existing health inequalities and a greater exposure during the early part of the pandemic as BAME people are overrepresented in health and transport settings.
The data overall clearly demonstrates that the vaccines saved lives.
