Have you been following the mRNA Covid vaccine happenings?

There are many examples if you're willing to look.

Yeah, there are countless examples. And I wouldn't say we should get rid of cars (just as I'm not saying we need to get rid of vaccines).

I'm amazed at the bristling when the possibility that vaccines are dangerous is brought up. As it relates to your car analogy - can you imagine someone reacting similarly to the claim that cars are dangerous, car manufacturers know this and downplay it, and they could possibly be made safer?

> Pharma companies behaving like tobacco companies does not imply that vaccines are dangerous and should be withdrawn.

I don't think I said that anywhere, did I?

Precisely, which is what the OP fails to understand
Just to be clear - I'm not anti vax and I'm not commenting here in support of RFK or his specific criticisms. This is something of a sidebar.

I'm just curious about how many intelligent people take pharma company statements, or conclusions they've paid researchers for, as gospel.

(I'm being rate limited, as you noticed in your other comment. Yes I am here in good faith, no I am not ragebaiting. I don't have permanent accounts on HN to avoid doxxing, thanks for your concern, hope you can drop the ad hominems and focus on the discussion at hand)
