I think that the the distrust of vaccines is the product of many years of abuse by the pharmaceutical industry that has culminated in a loss of confidence among people. They had a hand directly in the overprescribing of psychotropic drugs and opioids that have had serious consequences. That, in addition to a loss of confidence in the "experts" due to their constant "mistakes" during this pandemic ("don't wear masks they don't help", "maybe you should wear masks after all", "okay so masks may not protect you but maybe they protect others" etc). I think governments have severely mishandled the pandemic by relinquishing their responsibility to be leaders to the "experts" — but the experts can be and often are wrong, and when this virus first emerged they had about as much understanding of its nature as anyone else. In science, like any other discipline, lots of mistaked are made. I like to think of a math textbook as an analogy. If you ever read one you know that sometimes you read an elegant proof and it seems like magic. The propositions and lemmata seemingly just emerge out of nowhere. How did they come up with that? Well if you ever tried to write a proof you know that no one just sits down and writes everything out neatly like a textbook on the first run. There is a lot of thinking and rough work on the side that never makes it into the textbook. You never see it. You only see the final product, which is perfect.
I am curious, in regards to the reports that it sterilizes women — it is said that the reason why it happens is that the same protein that triggers an immune response is also necessary for the placenta attaching itself to the uterine wall, so the vaccine would cause essentially an autoimmune response that will abort sunsequent pregnancies. If this is true, doesn't simply being exposed to the virus have the same effect? I mean once you get over it. If not, what is the difference?
At least the good thing is I assume if it does cause sterility, it shouldn't be permanent as the effect of the vaccine itself is not permanent.
No, but herpes can if you're female. Covid and the flu have similar fatality rates and the same demographics are at risk of serious complications for both viruses, yet they are not the same and it's not unheard of for a virus to make you sterile. Anyway, it's not the point. I'm looking at the fact that the vaccine is said to make you sterile and the mechanism by which it allegedly does this is linked directly to the body's immune response. The question remains: does the virus then make you sterile, since getting the virus also provokes the same immune response? And there were in fact reports in the spring when the lockdowns began that the virus make cause loss of fertility. Like I said, I don't really know shit about this and I'm just trying to think it through logically based on the tidbits of information I've been receiving.
