Be specific, what data is in question? The data that says vaccines suck and don't stop transmission? Step outside and you'll get the proof that vaccines aren't as effective as originally touted. The data that suggests the risk of cardiac adverse events following the second dose of the mRNA vaccine could be around 3.7 times more likely than hospitalization due to COVID-19 in healthy 12-15-year-old boys.Where does your data come from?
My position on vaccines has been clear and consistent. I'm vaccinated and have had a breakthrough infection..good for me. No gambits, blowing smoke, etc, suggesting I'm making stuff up and lack a grasp of the subject. A healthy dose of skepticism, reviewing data in VAERs/MedRxiv, leveraging peer reviewed data provides context and helps in decision making for patient care. Granted VAERS and MedRxiv aren't promoted as tools to guide clinical practice, and rightfully so. They still provide plenty of information to form an educated opinion. Depending on the CDC for treatment guidance is like depending on a pharmacist to approve a script prescribed by the person who knows the patient.
Plenty of goofiness going on at places like the CDC and FDA. It's clear that the long term effects of MRNA vaccines on adolescent boys is unknown - only a small # of clinical trials have been conducted. For the most part, most countries have been very cautious with vaccinating this population. Our own FDA has been cautious about the youngest demographic. Let's see how long it take to go from EU to approved.
Let's see if the narrative changes as delta transitions to omicron. delta was touted as more severe for kids. Omicron appears to be the common cold, so far. Why vaccinate a healthy population in the face of a disease compared to the common cold? Silliness. If you want the vaccine, go get one. Wear a mask if you want or if mandated or if it makes you feel better.
