  1. “Unlike other, newer things of which we have absolute certainty.”

    What’s the underlying argument here, that we should have held off on acetaminophen and mRNA vaccines alike unlike all the science is entirely figured out?

    Also, citing VAERS data, knowing as you do that it’s an early warning system containing unverified AEFIs and offering no claims of statistical correlation let alone causality, is of course your prerogative. But for those looking for actual scientific data, here’s a roll-up of recently published evidence.

    1. Since painkillers of this type kill more people than, say, guns do in North America, I guess the point is that the companies should be indemnified from any and all risk, otherwise we wouldn’t have any N-said painkillers.
      Oh, and there aren’t enough doctors on the planet to verify every adverse effect reported.
      You may as well say correlation != causation for smokers getting lung cancer.
      Now fuck off.

      1. “Since painkillers of this type kill more people than, say, guns do in North America, I guess the point is that the companies should be indemnified from any and all risk, otherwise we wouldn’t have any N-said painkillers.”

        1) Since Francisco is talking about acetaminophen, I assume your “painkillers of this type” is referring to the same. In the US, around 400 people die each year from acetaminophen overdose; around 40,000 people die each year from gunshot wounds. In Canada, the annual figures are around 70 and 1,000, respectively. Perhaps you’re thinking of opioids.

        2) Acetaminophen and NSAIDs are different drugs, under different drug classes.

    2. Do you know the long term results of using experimental mRNA injections?
      Of course you don’t
      Neither does any “health authority” or politician.
      If these cause ADE, auto-immune disorders, premature dementia, and death, as predicted by uncompromised virologists and epidemiologists, then is it worth it? If you have to think about it, you deserve the same fate.
      I will wait, forever.

      1. “Do you know the long term results of using experimental mRNA injections? Of course you don’t.”

        If you’re going to apply that logic specifically to COVID-19 vaccines, then why don’t you apply it equally to other aspects of your life?

        1. People do that. If they are afraid of flying they don’t fly. If they are afraid of dying in a car crash they won’t ride in a car.

          They just don’t have to worry about Big Government forcing them to do these things of which they’re afraid. They go on with their lives according to their choices.

          1. Yeah and then they catch a virus and spread it around because they’re idiots who don’t understand risk or biology.

    3. It took less than 3 minutes for me check the info on the ‘distinguished’ group from CIDRAP.
      They might be credible if they were not tied so closely to CDC and Biden.

    4. Thank you, Ted. I’d add that both the vaccine and COVID virus both dump mRNA into your cells which translates it into protein. The difference is that one infects you and is vastly deadlier.

      We need this virus to hurry up and kill off the retards that have polluted the political right so that we can be reborn as a serious political force.

      1. Some people blather on and on about no anonymity should be allowed on the internet but I wonder if people would be brave enough to keep on with stuff like “We need this virus to hurry up and kill off the retards that have polluted the political right so that we can be reborn as a serious political force.” if they could be found.

        Maybe anonymity is good after all.

  2. One thing that frustrates me about having to visit the drugstore cold and flu aisle is how difficult it is to find cold and flu medicines that don’t have acetaminophen in them. I get why everything-including-the-kitchen-sink remedies are popular (all in one pill/spoonful!) but I personally prefer to keep a painkiller separate from whatever else I need to take, since I don’t always need one (ie. if I just have a cough and congestion), and if one may be useful it gives me the option of deciding whether to take one and I can choose which kind.

  3. Ezra has links the news reports from Israel and Australia. 90-100% of hospitalized Cflu patients in those reports had the jab.

    1. As more people get jabbed and fewer remain unvaxxed that will happen. That speaks to the efficacy of the jab. More importantly, are there any numbers comparing the hospitalized as a percentage of their vaxxed or unvaxxed populations? That speaks to the risk of remaining unvaccinated.

      Even that is biased, as the unvaxxed include those with natural immunity if they’ve had the chinese flu. You really need to dig through the numbers to reach meaningful conclusions. And I trust neither the governments nor the media to do that objectively.

      1. How many Covid “hospital cases” are legit, though. Sorry, if your were in the ICU with hypoglycemic shock, and they tested you for Covid and it was positive, but otherwise you have no symptoms that is totally different than you getting a sore throat Frdiay night, out of control fever by Saturday, and full blown respiratory distress by Monday and into the ICU.

        They’ve been counting those the same at least in Canada, the US and the UK. Not helpful.

    1. And before anyone beats me up for being the hypocrite, yes, I see the errant apostrophe I somehow left above.

      I attribute that one to shitty eyesight, though. At least, that’s my story, and I’m sticking to it. 😉

  4. Why use acetaminophen when you can use ASA?
    I find it to be a bit of a miracle drug.
    Maybe I’m just dumb or old fashioned.
