"Do your own research" is disingenuous. If I do my own research (and I have) and it disagrees with your beliefs, you'll still tell me I'm wrong.

Incidentally, people thinking for themselves and being able to look at studies and talk to (actual) experts directly without the interference of the media or "experts" is exactly why there are so many skeptics, and why the White House, the Media, and Big Tech are doing everything they can to censor the living shit out of vaccine discussion. You people spent years yammering about how great the free, uncensored discussion on the Internet would be: finally the strongest ideas would win out! And then when people didn't come flooding to YOUR ideas, but actually started to move AWAY from them, you screamed for it to all be shut down, post-haste. The game is only good when you win, huh?



> If I do my own research (and I have) and it disagrees with your beliefs, you'll still tell me I'm wrong.

My beliefs aren't beliefs. They are based on widely-reproduced and reproducible scientific research. If all of that research is wrong, it would fundamentally overturn human understanding (such as it is) of the immune system and also require a massive global conspiracy including thousands of scientists.

What in your research has told you that the vaccine is more dangerous than Covid? You also don't know the long-term effects of Covid exposure, right?

I'm not sure how to respond to this, but the link I provided was to MIT, not the White House, media, or big tech. I don't know who "you people" is, but I'm not part of any organized group, and "media" and "big tech" are not homogeneous either. Even "White House" isn't, because there are many conservative Republicans encouraging vaccination in conjunction with Democrats.

To you rpoint about censorsip: vaccine discussion (including profit-motivated disinformation) is not very well-censored, apparently[1]. And you are welcome to have open, uncensorable vaccine discussions with anyone you want, including any doctor who will give you an appointment. You just can't do it through some private companies' servers. Some of the major "Big Tech" platforms (WhatsApp, Telegram, private Facebook groups, Messenger, Instagram DMs, etc.) are also fully open to any vaccine discussion.
