I knew that paper was bad and fraudulent but I didn't know the guy was secretly being paid off by a lawyer trying to manufacture evidence to sue the government and that he was also trying to sell his own competing vaccine. It's really insane that that's what launched the antivax movement.

The state of Pennsylvania is currently jerking itself off over "70% of adults have at least one dose of the vaccine."

The state is 42.7% fully vaccinated and vaccine demand has been down for weeks. The JnJ pause put a stake in the heart of the vaccination drive.

Pennsylvania is never hitting 70% fully vaccinated, and everyone's patting themselves on the back. amazing.

canada will probably hit 70% fully vaccinated despite our slow start. we have antivaxxer poo poo here too but luckily we're already pretty pro-vaccine here as a society. too bad we're right next to y'all :\

yeah that was new to me too. it’s also interesting that he fabricated the timeline on a lot of the cases to be within 2 weeks or whatever since that would make a class action suit more likely to succeed. just fraud all the way down.

idk, i enjoyed his video but it was weird to me how he framed the fabricated autism-colitis disease. it’s sufficient to know that the doctor had a conflict of interest to reject the disease and think that it’s fake, but i kept getting the impression that we were supposed to reject the idea a priori. but maybe that just came from the narrative choice to unwind the whole thing in the same kind of timeline that people experienced it at the time. like the insane conflict of interest didn’t come out for several years, and by then the damage had been done. anyway i learned a bunch about wakefield.

the CA mask mandate being revoked on the 15th is way too early, only 42.18% of adults have been fully vaccinated, 55.95% had their first shot. feels more like a political move for newsom to avoid being recalled than anything else.

Last statistic I saw is that 8% of people who get one dose don't go back for the second. The social media conservative meme is that if they already had covid they don't need vaccination or they only need one mRNA shot.

You don't count people as being fully vaccinated if they aren't. They get moved to that bucket once they get two shots.
