CDC is a political vehicle. It’s a tragedy what’s happened over the last year as they flip flop.

VAERS and it’s predecessors did not track this kind of thing even though they were explicitly made with the intention to. Their own workforce was puzzled as to why they weren’t deployed early on to track vaccine side effects.

Look, stick to the basics. If you’re going to appeal to authority find one with some backbone and preferably one with less profit motive.

CDC didn’t make the vaccine. J&J did. Neither knows what it will do over the next N years, and even if they did you’d be the last to know. You’ve got all the evidence you need in how J&J handled the powder case.

So no, I’m not taking the vaccine or the aspirin.

Everyone should question the competency and “trust us we know” attitudes of these companies. They’re the kind of people you only want to deal with when you absolutely have no choice.
