25 years ago I predicted that seat belts will cause an increase in fatalities and hospitalizations for trauma. I also predicted that people will blame this on car crashes as proof that we needed laws requiring them.

See how silly this line of reasoning is when you don't feel bothered by a need to provide data or statistics?

That’s true.

But the difference between the COVID vaccines and seatbelts is the data — hence why you hear that argument about COVID vaccines, but not seatbelts.

Counterpoint, Steve Kirsch is an absolute moron who has lost the plot.

The Thailand paper has been making the rounds among many people.

Eg, https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ekTR0w2M9-U

Also, that link doesn’t address the data in those links. You seem to be making an ad hominem.
