Happy mom posting about son's 'vaccination': excitement, joy and relief at first, and then myocarditis, fear, sadness and anger when former pro-vaxers peers turn on her

I like how she bitches about the cost of the medical services - says a lot about what’s important to her. And assuming that she’s a public school ‘teacher’, she isn’t going to pay jack out of pocket.

Medicine and climate are so complex that anyone who pretends we know everything is full of it.

STEM fields need to do a better job teaching students how to distinguish science from alchemy.

Tell us again that you’re not an anti-vaxxer.

Myocarditis can be caused by viruses too. The chances of getting myocarditis from COVID are sixteen times greater than from the vaccine. Most vaccine cases are mild and are quickly resolved.

She goes from “I have a few science degrees” to “Ok, I’m no expert”. Anyone who gets a shot for their kid for a “disease” with a 100% survival rate has got a screw loose. Try getting your news from someplace other than “The View”.

I don’t feel like posting to a liar right now. Maybe later after coffee, but only if I see some value in replying to you. You ignore truth so why go through the motions of asking questions?

It will be worse for her family when she no longer qualifies for her scheduled boosters that they will need to stay alive.

I posted this previously but it seems worth reprinting.

I mean no malice toward this mother. This seems like a Road to Damascus moment. She deserves prayers, not venom.

That all being said....

SCIENCE ISNT MATH..

It never was.

And it sure isn't now.

Remember how science said ulcers were induced chiefly by stress or spicy food? It turns out, they are induced chiefly by bacteria. Whoops.

The history of science is littered with "no wait....that's wrong...THIS is right..." going through the rinse and repeat cycle endlessly.

And that's ok. Inquiry and challenge and "being a science heretic" is, in many ways, how mankind learns more and can fix more problems.

But science isn't math. Your checking account balance is the sum of deposits less sum of withdrawals. Always. Forever.

The problem arises when people try to equate science with math...usually they call it "settled science." And, to be sure, robust inquiry and disciplined application of the scientific method usually gives you clear and distinct results. Then, science is settled...until we get new data or better techniques, and then we get "wait a minute..".

For example, there was a most excellent article posted on how "settled science" wasn't so settled, wherein:

seems that Earth has been misplaced. According to a new map of the Milky Way galaxy, the Solar System's position isn't where we thought it was. Not only is it closer to the galactic centre - and the supermassive hole therein, Sagittarius A* - it's orbiting at a faster clip.

It further noted other "errors" in SCIENCE:

A good recent example of this is the red giant star Betelgeuse, which turned out to be closer to Earth than previous measurements suggested. This means that it's neither as large nor as bright as we thought. Another is the object CK Vulpeculae, a star that exploded 350 years ago. It's actually much farther away, which means that the explosion was brighter and more energetic, and requires a new explanation, since previous analyses were performed under the assumption it was relatively low energy

The other problem arises when Certain Powers work overtime to suppress assiduous inquiry. Which, is what we have today as well. It's a bad double whammy.

In the interest of full disclosure, my "science isn't math" quote came from a recent post on social sciences, that featured this brilliant give and take involving a Harvard faculty member critical of Charles Murray from the original article, that is worth reprinting - it is with regard to the "certainty of SCIENCE":

"so why should we let someone teach social science that we know to be wrong in our social science courses?"

Because it is possible that you are wrong.
Science is not mathematics. Newtonian physics was wrong. And social science is a further three rungs down in certainty from science.

Your level of certainty and arrogance about what can be said, and probably thought, smacks of religion, and not science. This is a political religion that permeates academia at the moment. And which I am fairly sure you will swear does not infect you, while the rest of us can see the symptoms quite plainly.

Only religions ban heretics from speaking because of the wrong-think they might cause. Real science loves a good heretic. In fact, honestly, the entire goal of science is to be a heretic. To have an idea that no other person ever had. Science is the pretty much the antithesis of your thought-police approach.

And most of academia used to be the antithesis of your thought police approach as well, until the religion of leftism

I don’t make light of it but I sure as hell DO blame the dingbat mother.

I have no sympathy for her. She knows damn well that she’d still be out there scolding other people who refuse to “vaccinate” their own kids if her own son hadn’t shown any of these side effects.

She not only has to come to grips with what she caused to happen to her child, she has to eat crow (sounds like she is doing it) and being persecuted by her former allies for seeing the truth.

She is now a vaccine apostate, and if there is one thing Leftists of all stripes hate, it is an apostate.

I do feel sympathy for her child and for her. Hope he gets through it, and she sounds like she learned the hard way. No doubt she gets it now, not only what the vaccine means for children, but the true nature of the vaccine push.

Tough way to see the truth. But we need to figure out a better way than one poor victim at a time. Don’t know how we can do that.

Since Math is now racist, I figure transmutation will make a comeback.

My 29 yo son apparently survived the J&J vax. He is in the military and wants to stay in so he rolled the dice. So far he is 6 weeks post-shot with no ill effects. (yet) He did feel like he had the flu for about 3 or 4 days right after it. No-one else in our family is vaxxed, nor plans to be.

I feel for her and her teen. But I don’t think there’s anything I could have done or said to have deterred her from her delusion with THESE so-called vaccines.

I blame not her, I blame the fake news and social media and the ‘official’ policy narratives that have deceived so many.

Good news is Ivermectin (IVM) can clean up after effects of these so-called vaccines.

Bad news is the pushers of these so-called vaccines are under command to thwart people from being prescribed or in any way receiving IVM.

Rumor has it that Gates and his influence agents are looking how to buy up or impede the distribution of IVM or otherwise contaminate it.

The heart does not repair itself. He is permanently disabled and likely cannot participate in sports.

She also found out there is no such thing as freedom of speech on Twitter, unless you agree with them.

I hope her kid makes it.

Her kid was placed in the hospital a few days as a precaution.

Get a grip.
