I doubt a single one of the COVID conspiracy theory nutters out there could even answer this quiz, and this is just the basic level.

@freemo I didn't know I needed qualifications to decide if I want to buy a product or not.

@Eris You dont. But you do need to understand a topic if you expect to state facts about said topic.

@Eris Thanks for proving my point, that people too stupid to pass the above test will also be too stupid to assert actual facts correctly.

@freemo Your only point seems to be vague condescension against anything contradicting you.
If it's not a fact, say how. If you can't say how, I'll assume you're full of shit.

@Eris I've addressed this topic in detail dozens of times on my time line. Every time the anti-vax morons just spew nonsense and ignore or arent smart enough to comprehend the reality. So yes at this point I stopped putting int he effort because its a waste of my time.

@freemo @Eris why do you invite further discussion if ur intention is to simply ignore it where it doesn't agree with ur existing stance

@Oblivia

I didnt invite further discussion. Quite the opposite. The OP shows the basic level of knowledge a person needs to have before even approaching the subject, of which most anti-vaxers dont have. So it explicitly suggests people unable to pass the test DONT discuss it, the opposite of inviting it.

@Eris

@freemo @Oblivia You don't need qualifications to discuss things. We're gonna discuss it whether you like it or not. You can either engage in that discussion or admit that you can't handle it and hate free speech.

@Eris

You dont need to understand a topic to discuss it, no. But you look like an idiot, and are an idiot, if you assert things as facts on a subject you dont understand.

@Oblivia

@freemo @Eris if layman are unable to properly understand the subject, how can they give informed consent to participation in the trial of this drug

@Oblivia

A person doesnt know how to do heart surgery, yet can give informed conscent to have surgery.

@Eris

@freemo @Eris a person can be shown in great detail what will happen to them during that procedure, they will be given resources and access todecades of documentation on the risks and outcomes if they need more info to decide. its a bit different when there is no such documentation available yet
Follow

@Oblivia

In that case you have a person defering to an expert. They dont understand the surgery or its technicals in any sense, they simply trust the risk assesment and details given to them by a professional. No different than with vaccines really, a person typically wont understand the subject, but they can defer to their doctors risk assesment and side effects and other details to make an informed decision despite not understanding the subject.

@Eris

@freemo @Oblivia Sorry I'm not deferring my judgement to anyone, let alone big pharma.

@Eris

Of course not, it is quite obvious that despite being uninformed on the topic that you arent deferring to anyone who is informed on it either.

@Oblivia

@freemo @Oblivia If they want me to buy their product they can inform me that it is a good product. They aren't doing that, and yet they whine that I don't want to buy their product.
Unlike you, I am not willing to just trust them implicitly.

@Eris

There are plenty of good reasons not to want to get vaccinated or to think it isnt safe enough or well tested yet. Thats not the issue. The issue is the morons who try to say its actually dangerous or killing people and spreading misinformation they clearly dont understand (like the usual lie about thousands of recorded deaths)

@Oblivia

@freemo @Oblivia
>The issue is the morons who try to say its actually dangerous or killing people and spreading misinformation they clearly dont understand
How is it misinformation if it's true?
>(like the usual lie about thousands of recorded deaths)
How is it a lie if it's true?

@Eris

Because its not true and is quite easy to show why. The lie about thousands of deaths comes from a misunderstanding of VARES, which does not actually list confirmed COVID deaths.

@Oblivia

@freemo @Oblivia
>Because its not true and is quite easy to show why.
Please do so.
>The lie about thousands of deaths comes from a misunderstanding of VARES, which does not actually list confirmed COVID deaths.
It's literally not possible to confirm a COVID death. Either way, you are assuming. If they are going to assume all respiratory illnesses are COVID deaths I see parity in assuming all VAERS are vaccine deaths.
If pharmacorps wanted a different standard of information they should have held themselves to one.

@Eris

They never assumed all respirtory illness was covid. There are preliminary number reports (which is what your thinking of), then the final numbers that come in about 3 months later that actually only include cases of covid that are reasonably confirmed.

As for VARES. you only need to look at the VARES FAQ to understand that the law states any cases of hospitalization that happen within 14 days of being vaccinated, even those that are confirmed to not be related to COVID, must by law be reported to VARES. It has been stated many times over and right there on the FAQ that the VARES deaths are **not** a listing of people who died from vaccination. it is a listing of people who died within 14 days of being given a shot for any reason.

@Oblivia

@freemo @Oblivia

>They never assumed all respirtory illness was covid.
They still are. "Reasonably confirmed" just means that they decided it was COVID. Anyone who comes into an ER with respiratory issues and gets a positive PCR test is "reasonably confirmed."
>you only need to look at the VARES FAQ to understand that the law states any cases of hospitalization that happen within 14 days of being vaccinated, even those that are confirmed to not be related to COVID, must by law be reported to VARES.
Exactly how any respiratory issue that comes into a hospital is being called COVID. Like I said, I see parity in statistical dishonesty on both sides of that issue. The ones who wanted COVID to be scary set up thge rules, the ones who want the vaccines to be scary are merely playing by the rules their enemies set up. They are playing fair.

@Eris

We have different types of data for different purposes. Yes there are some lists which only "reasonably confirm" COVID. Generally we wouldnt use that for statistical analysis. Then you have other studies and list that explicitly randomly sample and test for the presence of the genome. These are the data sets we tend to use to draw mot conclusions off of.

@Oblivia

@freemo @Oblivia The tests you are referring to are PCR tests, which literally always give a positive and are specifically designed to give false positives.
@Eris @freemo @Oblivia Yes my understanding is that they use an amplification process during the test. The tests were designed to amplify the results much more than was recommended and considered accurate, which caused many false results.

The man in this video mentions that when they rolled the amplification back to the recommended levels, they had almost no new cases. Thank you friend
@Eris @Oblivia @freemo I should mention too, I thought I had the coronavirus back in October. The PCR test from the doctor was positive, but the blood test done by my work was negative. I did not realize but perhaps the one from the doctor was simply a false result as well. Thank you friend.
@Eris @freemo where i do not have information about reliability of the product, i must lean on the reliability of the company. and historically the companies involved in producing these products have shown recklessness with the safety and health of their clients, it seems foolish to place my trust there
@freemo @Eris which still relies on the availability of data on previous medical outcomes, which takes years to gather. that can't be said of a new drug still in testing phase

@Oblivia

Informed conscent doesnt mean you know enough to be an oracle. It means you know the risks we do know, and the risks of the unknown. Knowing its a new drug and that that infers certain risks of the unknown is part of informed conscent, and a perfectly reasonable rason to be hesitant.

I'm not vaccinated, I have no intention of vaccinating until we have better data and the vaccines are out longer. I am not against anyone who is vaccine hesitant or doesnt want tog et vaccines. I am against the idiots spewing misinformation as a means to justify the that decision however.

@Eris

@freemo @Oblivia

> It means you know the risks we do know
So pharmacorps lying to us that the vaccines have no risks whatsoever makes it uninformed consent, right?

@Eris

If/when someone were to lie in that way, yes.

Thankfully the risks we do know (such as 40 per million mycarditis, or the 2 cases of blood clots) are on the sheets of side effects. Despite being quite rare they dont really hide it most of the time. If someone does hide it then yes, that is wrong of them.

@Oblivia

@freemo @Oblivia So when Fauci, the state, pharma corps, and mass media all tell me that anyone saying there is any risk to the vaccines at all is insane, they are committing fraud, right?
