Is there anyone who would trust a “scientist” from Pfizer nowadays?

Amen! Amen! Amen!

The real numbers of how many have died so far from their Covid shots and those who are paralyzed, etc. are not being reported. Word of mouth is spreading.

“some women are also reporting changes in their period following the vaccine. While the menstrual changes are all anecdotal at this point, it wouldn’t be surprising for research to validate the claims. A person’s hormones are tightly connected to their immune response.”

Research could be reassuring. In my experience (a guy) women’s cycles can be affected merely by mood.

That’s about last year.
It’s curious though that people were so disheartened they didn’t make babies.

The women who are most concerned are those who normally have regular, predictable cycles. Or who are on birth control.

Or post menopause for years and then start bleeding again.

Researchers who helped develop statin drugs came out — seriously — promoting putting them in the water supply.

The story quoted is from none other than antivaxxer and conspiracy nut Robert F. Kennedy Jr and his “Children’s Health Defense” blog. Of course the study he attempts to twist into an antivax “proof” was from the 2017-2018 flu season, well before COVID-19, and the study even links another study that found no interference. Like you said, studies since COVID have shown the opposite.

Beware, some of them are talking about mixing the covid and the flu shots.

I guess once these companies have carte blanche to experiment on whole populations, they are going to go at it full speed.

BREAKING NEWS!!!

All people make money doing something!

The girl at the ice cream shop putting scoops in your bowl is getting paid to do it.
Yes! Really!
How dare her get paid for her work. How dare get paid proving you with ice cream.

It isn’t more potent and any m-RNA that is foreign to your own m-RNA is dangerous.

Yes, both Pfizer and Moderna had this technology with no market for it. Then they saw an opportunity to do something with it with Covid. Mnra is not the future of vaccines or anything else.

There are different strains of influenza viruses and if the vaccination you get does not include the strain that is currently going around, it won’t protect you from getting that strain of influenza. Usually, several strains are included in the vaccination. Also, if people from other countries are bringing a different strain in, you won’t be protected.

I undertand about the different strains. I just found it odd that the people that didn’t get the flu shot also didn’t get the flu. Yes, small sample and statisticly invalid but interesting none the less.
