_io_ | why don't they want it | 01:15 |
LjL | same reason as other people, health workers aren't really any wiser in terms of anti-vax and stuff | 01:16 |
LjL | plus let's admit it, these vaccines *are* going to be potentially more dangerous, and certainly more side-effectey in simple but annoying ways, than most other vaccines we use | 01:17 |
LjL | it's easy to counter-argue that COVID is more dangerous, but... | 01:17 |
LjL | i don't know, i find that if i try to only associate with people who make the exact same risk/benefit assessments as me, i end up with no one | 01:18 |
LjL | (trust me, i checked) | 01:18 |
LjL | and these media articles don't even help at all | 01:20 |
LjL | Stormy Tatom, 30, a hospital ICU nurse in Beaumont, Texas, said she decided against getting vaccinated for now “because of the unknown long-term side effects.” | 01:20 |
LjL | “I would say at least half of my coworkers feel the same way,” Tatom said. | 01:20 |
LjL | There have been no signs of widespread severe side effects from the vaccines, and scientists say the drugs have been rigorously tested on tens of thousands and vetted by independent experts. | 01:20 |
LjL | ... you dumbos at yahoo!, have you considered that while, yes, the "long-term side effect" worry is very standard and a bit boring, you can't invalidate by saying there have been "no signs" and they have been "rigorously tested" | 01:21 |
LjL | because their concern is about LONG-TERM and they haven't been tested LONG-TERM | 01:21 |
LjL | maybe it's an invalid concern but if you don't even SEE it, you're certainly just going to be befuddled | 01:21 |
LjL | anyway at some point vaccination will just be made mandatory | 01:22 |
Brainstorm | New from NPR: Millions In China Under New Restrictions Amid COVID-19 Spike Near Beijing: Among the measures are a weeklong stay-at-home order for the cities of Shijiazhuang and Xingtai. A spate of outbreaks in the Hebei province has raised concern for the nearby capital of Beijing. → https://is.gd/MSppMB | 01:23 |
de-facto | so they should make daily testing before entering the hospital building or elderly care home mandatory then if their workers refuse to get vaccinated | 01:27 |
de-facto | afaik the immunologic experts say that longterm effects never can be excluded until waiting for ... long time, but that statistically most "long term" effects show up in the first few months already if trial participants size is large enough | 01:28 |
LjL | well the thing is that with most other vaccines, before the vaccine gets to the public, they *have* waited for a long time | 01:29 |
de-facto | of course they cant catch every possible (i.e. rare) side effect, but at least the ones that occur with some frequency they should have seen | 01:29 |
de-facto | yes but thats not an option we have right now | 01:30 |
de-facto | and even if they have waited for long time, they say the effects already showed in the first months after vaccination hence its not to be expected that the first longterm effects would begin to show after years or such (if not also appearing after months) | 01:31 |
LjL | well that's what they know from other vaccines but you said yourself they can't *exclude* it | 01:32 |
LjL | polio (the disease, not the vaccine) can seemingly go away and yet make you semi-paralyzed *decades* later... HIV can take 20 years to show up as AIDS... these are diseases, not vaccines, but in line of principle it's still something messing with your body that can have unforeseen consequences | 01:33 |
LjL | i sympathize with people who are not outright anti-vax but simply feel apprehensive about these particular vaccines for COVID because they have been rushed. sure, they *had* to be rushed, but they've been rushed nonetheless | 01:33 |
LjL | at the same time, when it comes to healthcare workers, they probably should either get it, or take a very long holiday | 01:33 |
de-facto | well with all medical procedures you would have to deal with probabilities, you never can exclude it but you can be confident about probabilities when basing decisions on evidence by statistics with significant results | 01:34 |
Brainstorm | New from r/WorldNews: worldnews: China Grudgingly Concedes India's Covid-19 Vaccines Are Good → https://is.gd/ztoUT1 | 01:35 |
LjL | well, let's see, with both Pfizer and Moderna there have been at least 3 Bell's palsy cases against at most 1 in placebo. small numbers, but it happened in both trials, and the FDA etc "will monitor it", but meanwhile they swept it under the rug by saying that it's compatible with natural incidence... except it's only "compatible" if you stretch probabilities by, like, a lot | 01:35 |
LjL | so i expect Bell's palsy will be a side effect of the mRNA vaccine that we see, and it's not a life-threatening one but it's pretty serious, and maybe it would be better if authorities were more upfront about the risk existing but being reasonably low, instead of being like "meeeh it's probably just natural occurrences" | 01:36 |
de-facto | yes and they do monitor those, afaik they did not stop to collect data | 01:38 |
LjL | of course they're collecting data, but that's orthogonal with my point about being upfront on the risk | 01:39 |
de-facto | i would oppose to above comparison to HIV or Polio in regards to longterm effects, those are diseases and the mRNA vaccines dont contain viruses but rather mRNA that very quickly degrades (hours to days at most) hence vanishes, so the thing it leaves behind is the reaction to the S-protein (and thats the wanted effect) | 01:39 |
de-facto | but yes i agree those Bell's palsy cases have to be monitored and investigated further as well as those allergy reactions | 01:40 |
de-facto | but they showed up now, not years after vaccination | 01:40 |
de-facto | thats what i wanted to say, its unlikely that effects would *begin* to show after years and not be seen alread after months or even weeks | 01:41 |
LjL | well no polio virus is found in the patients who have those reactions decades later | 01:42 |
LjL | it's not exactly clear what causes them, there are theories | 01:42 |
de-facto | we have to very carefully look at the statistic, because we will read about all sorts of weird sideeffects just because so many people will get the vaccine | 01:42 |
LjL | yes, it's unlikely, just far from impossible | 01:42 |
de-facto | thats what i am trying to say, we have to look at the probabilities to determine the likelihood of potential sideeffects, if they show up in more people its a sideeffect, but some cases currently reported in the media will remain anecdotal and i think its very unlikely that first occurrence of non-anecdotal additional side effects would only begin to show after years | 01:47 |
de-facto | this probably is one of the most tightly monitored vaccination campaigns with a lot of participants (hence also show very rare sideeffects) | 01:48 |
de-facto | but i agree the monitoring should go on in a transparent way | 01:48 |
de-facto | all i wanted to say is that i dont fear longterm effects (after years) that could be missed now | 01:48 |
de-facto | i think its much much more likely to have longterm effect from a disease that attacks a certain type of cells (e.g. polio attacking and decimating nerve cells, or SARS-CoV-2 doing whatever is its thing causing long covid) than from a vaccine that does not "go after a certain type of cells" but only provoke an immune reaction from hijacking some (very few) muscle cells | 01:56 |
de-facto | sure if that immune reaction would be directed against the host it would be bad and longterm, but id assume autoimmune reactions should be seen when the immune reaction to the vaccination forms because later the stimulus from those cells expressing the S-protein antigen is gone | 01:58 |

joerg | >>these vaccines *are* going to be potentially more dangerous, and certainly more side-effectey<< I tend to disagree. attenuated vaccines caused infections by the disease they were supposed to protect from. Definitely won't happen with mRNA vaccines. | 11:46 |
joerg | >><LjL> ... you dumbos at yahoo!,<< yeah, one of the fallacies that annoys me to no end. another one being the >>mimimi we ordered too few vaccine<< whining | 11:49 |

joerg | >>feel apprehensive about these particular vaccines for COVID because they have been rushed<< well, that's part true part fallacy, the test phases have been parallelized but not shortened afaik | 11:53 |
joerg | threre's one elementary consideration: vaccines act like an attenuated infection, to train the immune system. So except for all adjuvants and vector viruses and lipids and whatnot, the side effects and long term complications to be seen are in no way different from those caused by the infection itself. *IF* there is increased chance for bell's palsy then for sure not any higher than you will see from covid itself | 11:59 |
DocScrutinizer05 | since I don't think the bell's palsy is caused by the mRNA or the lipids, but pretty certainly by the immune reaction | 12:02 |
DocScrutinizer05 | or maybe even by the spike proteins themselves | 12:03 |
DocScrutinizer05 | neither the mRNA nor the lipids seem to bear plausible potential to cause palsy | 12:04 |
DocScrutinizer05 | if only for next to impossible burden of quite a physical distance between point of injection and point of palsy effect | 12:06 |
DocScrutinizer05 | take the last two statements with a grain of salt, they are my private notion not backed by any quotable research | 12:13 |
DocScrutinizer05 | CFS, a often referred to known long term side effect of another similar vaccine, been an autoimmune effect you'd expect to also see from the infection itself | 12:17 |

DocScrutinizer05 | 4) PM2.5 et al air quality sensors and other ambient condition values to assess the climate situation relevant for virus spreading | 12:27 |
DocScrutinizer05 | all this would in no way immanently collide with the privacy concerns solved very cleverly in the corona warn app | 12:29 |
DocScrutinizer05 | "hoping for a call by Drosten" the charite´ chief virologist, for an app, pretty much disqualifies the whole narrative. Drosten is in no way whatsoever responsibe or just qualified to comment or decide on this stuff | 12:44 |
