Maybe you're just smarter than everyone else and can really read in to the true motivations of people, even those they don't know they have.

Frankly you just come off as a self righteous asshole. Telling me my questioning isn't valid and I'm doing some shtick, I'm just here to shitpost and support RFK and want people to die. None of that is true. And you haven't done one bit of good in convincing me to not be skeptical.

Best of luck to you. My advice is: work on the way you interact with people, with a good smattering of luck you might be able to effect positive change in the world.

I think maybe you've missed my point. I'm not sure if you read my initial question (flagged into hidden now), but I was trying to discuss blind faith in big pharma.

> People would probably respond similarly if you proposed, say, to ban plumbing systems.

Beautiful strawman, bravo.

To be crystal clear - the finding under Biden was that there are non-negligible risks of myocarditis after receiving the vaccine.

This exact fact was downplayed by both Pfizer and Moderna during Operation Warp Speed (oh no, that was under Trump so can we trust it?).

A genuine desire to understand reality would lead you to examine this incongruence.

> “Inquiry” is not this “gosh just asking questions” bullshit you’re doing. If you want to go out and actually add to the body of human knowledge by doing yet another study or vaccine safety, then by all means, go for it. But dropping into online conversations to say “I can’t believe you idiots trust Big Pharma” isn’t inquiry.

This is where you're confused.

I'm not here making some big claims, adding to the body of human knowledge about how vaccines are actually bad.

I've mentioned many times that I think vaccines are a net positive, and don't want them discontinued. I myself am 3x vaccinated against covid (all mRNA), and will continue to get vaccinated in the future.

By simply mentioning skepticism in pharmaceutical companies' claims that vaccines are safe, even though we all acknowledge the dire financial incentives by which they propagate such claims, I have induced zealous attacks rivaled only by the most fundamentalist theologians.

I guess I have answered my own initial question (flagged into a memory hole) - people have adopted these beliefs in the same way that others adopt religion, and any attack on the belief is interpreted as a personal attack. The amount of ad hominems levied against me on this post here are incredible - childish, bad faith, burner account, and so on.

I remain curious and intellectually honest, I don't fault you or anyone else for their beliefs - only the way you treat others when they dare question them.

So we believe it now because it was done under Biden's admin?

It's best not to make arguments from genetic fallacy when they don't actually support your claim.
