Read my point on number of cases in vaccinated individuals in my previous post. That does not prove anything close to a decrease in the human immune system as was the point in your friend's post.
ETA: To Oldsouljer, completely agree.
My List of Studies & Government Data from Around World Proving the Covid Vaccine is Dangerous and Deadly, and the Worst Heathcare Disaster in World History - Root For America
Hoping you and Dr M can provide some commentary on this article and the numerous links included.
We have both already addressed it.
The guy in the article starts with anecdotal "evidence" that COVID vaccines have killed 33 people that he knows. To combat that, I have plenty of anecdotal "evidence". Everyone I know that has been vaccinated (and I know a lot), is still here to this day and has survived and done fine with an acute COVID infection. Furthermore, this guy does not indulge on any past medical history of those individuals. Could they have been immunocompromised? Could they have 3+ chronic medical problems that make them a ticking time bomb no matter vaccination status? We do not know.
I read through a few of the linked articles that he has. These do not provide solid data. There are so many confounding variables, as we have discussed ad nauseum, in these "studies" that are not accounted for. The vaccines are safe. People are not dropping dead randomly from these vaccines. Has the CDC, FDA, and federal government done a disservice by making blanket recommendations? Absolutely. Does not change the fact that the vaccines are safe. We (individual providers) have addressed the clotting issue with J&J and the myocarditis risk with Pfizer, Moderna. Most of us believe that these vaccines are meant for certain populations more so than others, but it is all based on individual risk for severe COVID.
I will go ahead and address ivermectin use while I am here. So far, very limited evidence that it works in preventing hospitalizations and deaths to this point. Most trials that had shown benefit were extremely small sample sizes. Benefit has not been shown in larger RCTs to date.
