One of the few scenarios I can approve of the government intervening. There needs to be more intervention when it comes to pharma, in my opinion. I will wear that conspiracy theorist badge proudly knowing that I don't trust a new type of vaccine, that was rushed through in less than a year, when the safe way to do it has taken more than a decade, and ESPECIALLY when there has never been a successful vaccine for any type of coronavirus. And we're the idiots 🤦
i agree in principal that oversight is needed, but the problem is that the "government" cannot be trusted.
more oversight means more bribery and corruption.

look at how they controlled HIV treatments, getting rich off AZT that was killing people, not helping them.
this was the government and fauci in action.

IRS, DOJ, FBI, CIA, DEA, FDA, CDC...
all of these have been proven corrupt and while we know there are criminals throughout, there is little if any prosecution.

you can even add a layer of oversight on top of the oversight, and you would just get more corruption.

It's a fair position to take, especially with the idea of a new type of vaccine. I am certainly more likely to take the J&J variant as my risk category is vanishingly low, and I'd prefer to take something I understand. That said, for years the FDA had a strict safe AND effective standard, which was disastrous because drugs proved safe for one disease could not be used widely for another until proved effective for the new one, despite the established safety standard. We have generally moved passed that in exigent circumstances, but there is still a major issue in that the process is so onerous that only about six or so pharmaceutical companies can bring a product to market, which is a major driver of costs as it drives down competition.

Again, I don't agree with your point of view on it, but I don't think it is an unreasonable one to take.
 
^ i suppose i have to agree...
that at least they don't let scumbag bill gates use his deadly or crippling experimental vaccines on americans and he can only murder kids in india and africa, so far.

If you opened them all up to being directly sued and having to pay stuff out of their own pockets that might actually help things a bit.

Fuck no LB, the government can't be trusted. You can trust they're not looking out for your health and best interest and are only interested in controlling you. If they can't, then exterminating you. The red blooded Patriots of America have become quite the problem for the NWO Globalists.

That used to be tinfoil, crazy talk twenty years ago but the smart kids today have caught on.

Like I stated earlier, when nurse friendly is going over your med. history and asks if you own any guns and have been vaccinated for Covid, both completely irrelevant to why you're in there, you know somethings up.

just cos gov wants an answer right now is just pharma teasing more money out of an easily led Multi Billionaire paid for by taxes

The knowledge that is had in the higher tiers of Pharma is disgusting if only their only objective was to get the job done.

You do realize that practically every far left group, is also anti-globalist? Both here and abroad. And they are far more direct in their methods than any "red blooded Patriots" on record, to date. From Seattle, to Honk Kong, to Paris.

Do you not consider that there is a concerted "divide and conquer" strategy, to destroy political discourse in America? And that threads like this one, lay it bare?

I'd even go so far as to say that this whole matter of Covid-19, isn't even the problem. It's just a symptom of a much larger problem.

there are taxpayer protection groups that have tied covid payouts to over-counting of covid cases and deaths, sure.

that is the problem with government payouts, from welfare to payroll protection plans. free money is impossible for many to resist.
add the fact that the government basically outlawed elective surgeries that hospitals rely on for income, they were almost forced to over-report to survive in some cases.

From the most conservative point of view, the denigration of these vaccines because they were fast is extremely troubling.

My turn just came up last week and I passed.

I'll let others (like possibly you) be my long term side effect lab rats.

If I even take it, it won't be any sooner than next summer.

That is a bit troubling, for sure.

I misunderstood you before. I mistakenly thought that you had said that all deaths were being treated as Covid deaths.

So the base formula is, Covid + death = Covid death. Got it.

That's fine. I think everything should be an individual choice. My problem is with the idea that these should be judged as dangerous because the government didn't do enough oversight on them. I just never thought I would hear that position from self styled conservatives and free thinkers.
 
I think if the political and social ways of thinking or philosophies to be conserved is what the founders envisioned and set out in the COTUS then most here would consider themselves conservatives.

But, if what is to be conserved is the current thinking of republicans in office today, I do not see much that needs to be conserved. The neo-con way of thinking has long since deviated from the original idea of strong property rights, individual liberty, limited government in both size and scope, as well as striking a proper balance between federal powers and states' rights.
Argue at the stasis of definition if you like. Now show me how increased central agency power over medicines which creates virtual cartels is totally in keeping with what the founders imagined? It is literally an argument for more of the dreaded "deep state." Literally, the opposite of strong property rights, individual liberty, limited government and federal/state balance.

Conservatism is not the absence of government. It's the limitation of government to its strictly constitutional roles.

I judge the vaccine dangerous because no one can tell me how, or even if, it will negatively affect my health 1, 5, 15 years down the road.

Do you know why they can't? Because no testing has been done to check that.

I chuckle a bit when people use the term "neo-con". The political ideals espoused by modern republicans, is Neoliberalism. It's the gospel that all of the talking heads preach.

It's all fine and good, until you start to realize that you empower/hijack certain aspects of Capitalism, to the point that your state and private industry, become 2 sides of the same coin. That's when people end up saying stupid shit like, "too big to fail". We're still trying to make "free market" arguments, when they're often not applicable.

Example: a pharmaceutical company has all the resources in place, to tell you exactly what the problem is - and you don't have any means of refuting. They own the personnel, the research, the knowledge, and certainly the politicians. And no matter what party you belong to, your favorite politicians are in their pockets. (remember when it came to light that tobacco companies were playing both sides of the aisle?)

That's fine. But 5 and 15 year health effects are generally not part of the approval process under any circumstances. And for good reason. If it took 15 years to approve a drug, we'd be a much poorer world.

Again, I don't think your personal decision is wrong. In fact I'd say that the people who should most likely take the vaccine without much thought are those in most danger of bad covid reactions, and they are the ones who also have less to worry about with long term issues.
I would never argue against a position like that.

I do agree that limiting the legal liability of companies has created a cartel like environment. Take away their legal protections and the problem solves itself.

But, the issue is what happens when the cartels cause damage and don't want to be held liable for the damage they caused. The issue is that the common person has almost no recourse in the current environment. It's easy to see why people are calling for the ones with the power to intervene when the entities causing the damage are shielded from liability.

I do agree that the conservative argument would be more along the lines of removing the liability shielding provisions of current legislation instead of asking for government intervention.
It isn't just the limiting of liability. It is the pure cost of doing a drug trial, much of which is just wasted money. It means that only companies with huge balance sheets can produce new drugs, so emerging companies get bought up by the big companies, or the have to "partner" with them to get a drug through. Either way, very few can do it, and it will stay that way, which will keep competition down and prices up. So the existence of the cartels, which are formed by government policy, is a problem in and of itself, and it is not limited to any obvious damage they cause, meaning the damage is far wider spread.

I'm not entirely disagreeing with you but the commerce clause of the Constitution can be construed many ways.
 
Which is a great observation of one of the many ways the Courts and Congress have gone so far off the rails.

The more governmental regulations you remove, the closer to a contractual issue it becomes. If it is a purely voluntary transaction, then it becomes whether any information which makes up the basis of the contract was fraudulent or not and whether both parties upheld the terms of the contract.

This is a scenario that almost seems like speaking a foreign language in modern medicine. Although the solution is dirt simple, it would sufficiently bring the cost down in the scenarios you described.
It's hard to imagine a more distorted and unfree market as health care.
 
The unconstitutional security measures that were put in place following 911 were simply version1.0
We were told, you must give up some of your rights so we can protect you from the boogeyman. The terrorists. The mantra then was "never forget" and now it is "always remember". Always remember to wear your mask, social distance, and stay home. The terrorists have now become us. We are the greatest threat to the public. It never was a war on terror, but a war on politics.

Checkpoints at the airport where only the beginning. I see a future of similar screenings in order to enter a stadium or a retail store, Without proof of vaccination, your freedom to travel or gather in groups will not be possible. But as one MSM journalist stated...your vaccination card is your ticket to freedom. With all my sincerity, God help us.

Maybe 15 is a bit far to go, but 2 - 3 years would be reasonable for me.

Personally, I'm not afraid of this disease. At the end of the day, we're all dead men walking. We just don't know the time and date of our "execution".
 

"Far-left extremism has become a feature of protests in recent years, and Hamburg - known for its squatter scene, which developed in the 1980s - is not stranger to violent protests. Clashes broke out at this year's May Day protest in the city, while in 2008 cars burned as extremists battled police on the streets for several hours. It meant Hamburg police were already aware of the potential issues ahead of the G20, drafting in police from around the country."

These are not conservatives.

So... tell me again how the left is no longer anti-globalist.

science is as it can do doesn't matter what your affiliation, a vaccine if available works or it doesn't

so maybe put it to the test believe the bullet as was said by one well versed individual

a lot of the argument i found through what they taught me was the way in which they test

They involve things like placebo's in a lot of their research this skews results from what i have noted

the only answers you are going to get is accuracy through volume run enough head of stock through a treatment see what the results are

problem with that is where do u get the data for the watching of the herd if u cant control the paddock or observe it first hand

it's really simple - find a doctor friend. Or a doctor friend of a friend. Give them a financial incentive. Have them load up the syringe, and squirt it on the floor. A vaccine has been administered, it's on your record.

I don't think it has shit to do with the government oversight, but everything to do with scientific studies. There's not been enough time.

Case in point: got a friend who's pregnant. She asked the doctor if she should get vaccinated. He said hell no, there's not enough data or studies available to say if it's safe for her or the unborn baby.

On the flip side, another pregnant girl wants to get the vaccine and the doctor is all "ok, why not?"

How does the vaccine interact with heart medication? What about diabetes? Is there a drop in fertility? Etc and so on

I understand also families are being fucked by insurance companies due to this.

If someone dies in a legit covered "accident" but than is found to be covid and the death cert says "covid", death and disability says "Oh natural death, nothing to cover here"

Further, the pharmaceutical companies grossly profit off of the backs of the American healthcare system, and then turn it into political influence in other countries, by subsidizing their healthcare. They do this by selling their products at a fractions - or fractions of fractions - of what we, in the US would pay.
 
Which if that isnt bullshit than what is?
Well, early Covid reporting - and maybe even the current, I'm unsure - was conflating the statistics, by treating every single Covid positive result, as a unique instance. Even in cases where it was someone who was a repeat tester. Even if it was simply not a fully recovered patient. Even if it was a false positive.

The false positives are easier to write-off, because the nature of reporting would make that difficult to capture. But the other, not so much...
