>Pfizer’s vaccine at several sites in Texas during that autumn, speed may have come at the cost of data integrity and patient safety. A regional director who was employed at the research organisation Ventavia Research Group has told The BMJ that the company falsified data, unblinded patients, employed inadequately trained vaccinators, and was slow to follow up on adverse events reported in Pfizer’s pivotal phase III trial

While concerning, this was only a few sites in Texas.

I'm not that concerned about the irregularities in the original article, which are reported for some sites in Texas, though they are signs of rot.

I am concerned that we promote, even mandate, mass vaccination for a novel coronavirus with a novel vaccine technology and a novel vaccine and no longterm controlled study in place.

Back in the old days we used to do long term vaccine controlled studies. Cursory Google search finds:

> A long-term follow-up study on the efficacy of further attenuated live measles vaccine, Biken CAM vaccine, S Isomura & all, 1986

> Antibody persistence was measured in 39 children in an open community 12-13 years after immunization against measles with further attenuated live vaccine, Biken CAM. [...] For evaluation of the protective efficacy of the vaccine, matched controls were studied during the same period. Serological examination revealed that 97.5% of the controls were infected with measles and contracted the disease.

Gaze upon the forest and not on a single tree.

Gaze upon a forest and realize trees never fall the sun never fully shines and its always misty and cool.

A quick glance at your post history and almost everything you post is antivax covid junk.

I think you're too biased.
