This is my issue with vaccines in general from my own experience. I developed extreme allergies to food at 5 years old, namely to MSG. I spent years and years being tested on by national study groups to figure out why. Often times spending months in the hospital for the tests.
Considering the history of Lyme disease and various governments history of conducting random biological based tests on their own populations, I am not very trusting of how our governments are trying to act like they care about your health, while not addressing simple things like our physical and mental health. Cancer, heart disease and suicides are still, in my opinion much more of a pressing matter.
I did my own data compilation on Gain of Function research to come up with my own conclusion on it. And afterwards its clear, in my opinion that whatever covid is, it is much more than a virus. It is a highly contagious disease involving genetically engineered spike proteins.
I can respond with a link to my Hive deep dive post on GoF research if you are open to it. Otherwise, I am not trying to prove a point but rather agree in a way with you on this point:
Most people I have seen who argue against existence of covid do so based on political beliefs rather than the real data (because real data that we can all see is not really disputable). In fact, I think I have seen posters here take multiple conflicting positions: sometimes arguing covid doesn't exist, other times arguing it does and the vaccines are dangerous because they are too similar to covid.
Hey, by the way, I do love seeing rational opposing opinions on these matters. I see your heavy flags occasionally on content I digest like activist post or theouterlight and I would love to hear your view points or opinions that lead to those downvotes. Maybe we can find commonality in a healthy, robust conversation where we can come together as people and understand each others viewpoints better.
I often leave a comment, but some accounts are apparently autovoted by a couple of big accounts no matter what they publish, and sometimes they publish things that are just obviously false. So I don't always believe it is necessary to make a comment in those cases. As an example, there were a couple posts lately that said New York City was mandating the vaccine, which is factually false. Maybe they change their story when they get into their videos, but I don't plan to listen to a video to critique it when the author is already distorting the truth in the headline for the video . That is a form of deception, because many people just read headlines.
You can reply with the link below. I don't have a firm opinion one way or the other on whether covid was an engineered virus. While it is an interesting question, I am not sure it matters much in the end. Even if it was, I don't think it was intentionally released. And everyone has to deal with it now.
That was a beyond rational response and I appreciate that very much. The autovoter deal I understand and it is why I try to read every post I autovote now and constantly refining what im autovoting, while also engaging.
Click bait titles frustrate me as well. Highimpactflix did that with biden the other day. One of the few notifications I get on youtube and it was about Biden mandating the shot. I was pissed because I left hive to watch a bull shite video about nothing.
Im here trying to engage with those authors and @theouterlight engages. He brought me here in 2017. Since 2017 he has been promoting steem/hive. He is all research based. If you gave him a chance you might enjoy his charming accent and content that isn't left right based.
Still yet, I just love Ed with the theouterlight and will promote him regardless.
Im sure you can find the link for my post on GofF. Its like you said, not a big deal.
What is a big deal to me, is I feel good about this conversation and appreciate your response when most larger stake holders don't feel the need to explain such matters with a detailed response like you did!
