You can't be serious, this has already been provided. Read the Press Release (as previously linked) from Moderna Therapeutics. Straight from the horse's mouth. Sorry if that is not "official" enough for you, although to anybody interested in studying the facts, it would be. To aid you in your studies, here is the link so you can keep track of the vaccine's progress: https://investors.modernatx.com/news-releases
Well, there's a difference between "accurate" sources and "official" sources. I've proven countless times that the "official" information that was being pushed was far from "accurate".

While I was busy telling people of all the videos of people being barricaded in their own homes by the Chinese government, literally welding steel bars over people's doors so they could't leave their homes, the World Health Organization was telling people that it wasn't communicable from human to human. While I was trying to open people's eyes up to the fact that China was literally blasting their cities with disinfectant fog, the CDC was telling people that masks don't stop the spread, and NOT to wear them.

Those are "official sources". Those are not "accurate sources".

But now, you want me to accept the word from a pharmaceutical company that stands to profit hundreds of billions of dollars, as "accurate" simply because they are "official"?

I mean, have we forgotten that Bayer literally sold tainted hemophiliac medicine to Europe, knowing that it was tainted, after it was banned from selling it in America for being tainted?

"Offical" doesn't mean much these days, especially when there is a narrative to push, and there are billions of dollars at stake.


Don't simply accept something as "accurate" just because it came from an "official" source.
I'm better than you, but that doesn't mean you're not great! :)

Ah, yes, because Fox News has definitely been gracious and accurate in reporting this pandemic, right? Totally not responsible for behaviours linked to thousands of deaths. I suspect you either underestimate the influence of the media or you just like Tucker Carlson and Laura Ingraham because they support your narrative.

Fact is we barely knew anything about this virus several months ago. Scientific advice needed to change as things progressed. It's just a shame that people who have never read a book in their lives like to think they know more than those who study for a living.

You dismissed the accuracy of the article without even reading it. :|

Not at all. I've seen the way the media has manipulated people over the last few years.

What do you believe "my" narrative is?

No? Maybe you didn't because the media only referred to it as "Covid-19" and not "SARS-CoV-2". But, the scientific community knew far more about this virus than was reported by the media. This isn't the first SARS virus. And as far as masks are concerned, which is quite a point of contention, do you honestly believe that somehow during the course of the year, the scientific community went from believing that masks don't stop the spread of the virus, to believing that they do stop the spread of the virus? Or do you think the "official sources" that are providing this information (such as the CDC and the Surgeon General) weren't presenting accurate information?

Who are the "people who have never read a book in their lives"?

I don't trust outlets which have a reputation for false, sensationalist reporting. The accuracy of one article is irrelevant, although as evident, it has led to a belief that the vaccine only remains effective for 3 months.

The alleged 'War on Thanksgiving' and failure to condemn actions which obviously contribute to the spread of the virus (failure to social distance, wear a mask, avoid large gatherings, etc.).

Who has claimed that it is the first SARS virus? Little was known about the widespread human transmission of SARS-CoV-2, being the cause of COVID-19. As for mask wearing, the initial advice not to wear them was given in the interests of preserving PPE for those who really needed it. The West was not prepared the handle this pandemic, so advice regular mask wearing early on could have hindered those in close contact with patients.

Can you link me the video segment please?

Or, are you talking about the whole thing about the police using binoculars to look into the homes of citizens to see if they're having more than 5 people for Thanksgiving dinner?

Miles Prower said :

I'm pointing out the fact that you dismissed it, and then presented the exact same information that was in the article. It was literally in the title of the article.


Miles Prower said :

No one. You claimed " we barely knew anything about this virus several months ago", but, we already knew quite a bit about it before it even hit.


Miles Prower said :

Really? Because that's literally what the first doctor in China was saying when he discovered that 8 of his patients had a SARS infection. He was then arrested for "fearmongering". China knew it was spreading from human to human. I knew it was.

You didn't, because the WHO told you:
Original message details are unavailable.

World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO
Preliminary investigations conducted by the Chinese authorities have found no clear evidence of human-to-human transmission of the novel #coronavirus (2019-nCoV) identified in #Wuhan, #China🇨🇳.
Meanwhile in China, they were blockading people into their homes, and dragging people off the streets in hazmat suits. China knew. Anyone who was paying attention to all the video footage leaking from China knew. The people who weren't paying attention, were the ones calling the people paying attention "fearmongers" and "conspiracy theorists".

Right. So, you believe that at a time when wearing masks could have actually made a difference, the correct course of action for the CDC and the SG was to spread false information? Is that how you're going to play that? That it was important to spread misinformation to the general public?

Miles Prower said :

Why was the West not prepared, in relation to masks? China was. They're were literally buying up mass stocks of PPE from around the world the year upcoming to the outbreak. Which is weird, because they're literally the largest exporter of PPE. And then when the virus was exposed in China, the West was obligated to send their stockpiles of PPE to China (to which China would replace at a later date, with substandard equipment that didn't meet proper health standards).

‘Natural Immunity’ From Covid Is Not Safer Than a Vaccine
What if you’ve already had Covid-19 — do you still need a vaccine? Experts tackle questions about vaccine immunity:

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/12/05/health/covid-natural-immunity.html


Although researchers aren’t sure whether a vaccine or the infection itself produces the stronger immune response, one thing is clear: The vaccine is far safer...
If fat means flavour then I'm ******* delicious!

The original article did not contain all of the data which is necessary to make an informed decision. How you choose to interpret data from Moderna is entirely up to you, but it is very important to be cautious of the media's ability to influence said interpretations.

We did not know in the very early stages how many cases were a result of asymptomatic transmission. That is another reason the guidance around face coverings has changed. Advice should be updated according to data, not feelings.

Events in China and how the West is handling the pandemic are two separate issues. We had significant warning of how easily the virus transmits, and yet they are among the worst hotspots across the globe. We were not prepared and the general response has been poor.

How do you know? I mean, the vaccine developers don't even know yet. None of them have completed phase 3 trials yet, and some have had to pause their trials to address severe adverse effects that arose during the trials.

I mean, no vaccines are safe for everyone. There will always be people who are seriously debilitated or even die due to vaccines. It happens. It's just a matter of trying to ensure that the number of people it happens to is relatively low.

But we did. At least, the people who were paying attention did. The media made sure the rest of you were not paying attention.

Advice should based on science, not feelings, and not false data from the media. Why do you think the West sent literally billions and billions of masks to China? Why? Why would the West do that, while at the same time, telling people that they weren't effective? If they didn't believe they were effective... then why did China need them all?

No, what was happening in China in the early days affected the entire world. It's not two separate issues. China was lying about the data. We knew that. We knew that it was spreading from human to human. You were being lied to.

Miles Prower said :

Really? Significant warning? Because as I remember it, those who were actually trying to warn everyone early on were called "fearmongers" and "conspiracy theorists". We knew. The media didn't want you to know. By the time you found out, it was already here and spreading.

Miles Prower said :

Yeah, it's almost like shipping covid patients into nursing homes was a bad idea.
