Do you think these people are idiots?




Thousands of Unvaccinated Canadians are REFUSING the offering of MRNA Vaccines of Moderna and Pfizer because they do not trust the manufacturer's new technology into their bodies..nor do they trust Oxford's Astrazenica which causes rare blood clots..but now they demand Justin Trudeau offer ANOTHER choice to them after and they want the single shot vaccine JOHNSON & JOHNSON which was approved in the United States!!

Columunist and past radio host and former leader of the far-right Wildrose Party, Danielle Smith says there are thousands of albertans like herself who do not trust mrna technology and claim they are not anti-vaxx but demand Justin Trudeau to offer them choice

She said it was expensive and a nuisance to cross the border to get the johnson vaccine but it was worth it because she TRUSTS this one the most as do many of her followers who have now mounted an online fundraiser to challenge Trudeau to make more COVID-19 therapies available

Now she may get her wish as Alberta, BC and Saskatchewan are asking them to supply 20,000 doses of the vaccine for their anti-vaxx constituents

Federal Health Minister, Patty Hadju said they are working on it and has contacted provinces who are interested

Rural MLA's and healthcare workers are telling them their unvaccinated want this vaccine because they believe is the SUPERIOR one and causes LESS EFFECTS.

The combined provinces are demanding 50,000 J&J vaccines

Thousands of these people say they are not great with needles and would rather have a "one and done" vaccine rather than continuing to have multiple shots

J&J however has no scientific advantage over the others and is similar to Astrazenica which it too causes blood clots and is 66% effective against COVID-19 but 2 doses of the J&J shot provide 94% effective rate

Alberta has one of the lowest vaccination rates in the country and is in turmoil with its hospitals filling up with patients and is now asking Trudeau for help

Do you think these people are idiots?

Pretty funny since J&J was knowingly giving cancer to babies and their parents for decades with their baby powder. They're totally trustworthy!

Someone was telling me that Moderna is 'the best', but I take all of that information with a grain of salt. OhhhJa does bring up a decent point about distrust re: J&J. It's very unfortunate that people are distrustful of mRNA vaccines though, they're amazing.

most of the rationale behind being picky about which vaccine you want is null and void in terms of the benefit of simply getting the vaccine that is first available to you.

Honestly, everybody should want the Janssen. It's the logical choice.

As for relative efficacy, *all* of them now promote booster shots. So why wouldn't you want to go with the one that has the least harmful side-effects?

Is this a serious question? It's been shown that they knew for years but kept selling it anyway... so the evil scheme is making money?

Even with the baby powder stuff aside, I don't know how you could research the vaccine and intentionally choose the J&J shot. The mRNA ones are way more effective and trustworthy on every level

It's the least effective one by a substantial margin and has roughly the same side effect profile as AZ. From the patient's perspective, the only benefit is needing one dose instead of two (which is a pretty minimal benefit to begin with), but if they're going to be getting a booster shot anyway, that benefit is completely negated.

Janssen's great for getting the vaccine to places that don't have the infrastructure in place to distribute and handle the others, since it's vastly better than nothing, but once that infrastructure is in place, it's quite clearly the worst available option. I'm not sure why you're so bent on championing it in regions where better options are readily available.

J&J isn't really causing any more problems than the others tbh. When, extrapolated out the percentage of real problems caused by each is pretty identical which is basically next to non existent

Pretty much. The side effect profile isn't worse, it's just not appreciably better. Where it is worse is in terms of efficacy.

Also true. I can all but guarantee that half of the people clamouring for J&J to be available wouldn't actually go get the shot if it were. They're just latching onto what seems like a valid justification for not getting the current vaccines that avoids the criticism and scrutiny that comes with being more transparently anti-vaxx.

I mean, most glaringly, it leaves out that you're two orders of magnitude less likely to develop the AZ blood clot side effect at all - let alone die from them - than you are to die of Covid simply by being a US citizen (~0.001% chance of blood clots, ~0.21% of the US population has been killed). Leaving out quantitative data when stating a risk is a pretty common fearmongering strategy.

As much as I want to be a good person I'm really not for it. They have had every opportunity to get vaxxed. Multiple people including other non-vaxxers in the hospital have told them to get vaxxed. If they haven't at this point then they deserve to get Covid and suffer for it.

The other three are also really vague about the exact risk factors they're citing (which, again, is common to fearmongering propaganda). If nothing else, a time/market scale is important for all three claims: Pfizer has been around for over 150 years and released countless products in that time frame (meaning those fines represent a pretty small minority of their products). Moderna has been around for just 11 years and trying to enter a pretty crowded market with novel technology that really hasn't had a chance to shine before now (such that pulling one off so early in their life is actually pretty good). J&J has been around for over 120 years and also released countless products (so their lawsuits are, again, associated with a small minority of their products).

That's not to say scrutiny is unwarranted, but taking those figures out of context like that is a blatant effort to make them seem scarier than they are. It's also really a variant of ad hominem: attacking the companies behind the vaccines in the absence of the author's ability to form plausible criticisms of the vaccines themselves. There are plenty of data and publications available on these vaccines that can be scrutinized if somebody doesn't trust them and wants to see results and evaluate methodologies for themselves. Attacking the companies instead of doing that is just lazy and suggests a considerable lack of confidence in one's position.

That really depends what the alternative is. It also depends a lot on the context, particularly how easily you can verify whatever they're claiming and what evidence exists that might suggest that they're lying. Don't blindly trust them, certainly, but also don't blindly assume that everything they say is a lie. Neither is a good idea.

I think the major lawsuits referenced by that post are within the last couple decades though

Yeah, I don't really have any issue with Moderna as a company

They are, but in many cases, they're based on things that have happened throughout their history but have only come to light in recent years. Asbestos in baby powder, for example is not a new decision. It's a very old decision whose impact (and subsequent lawsuits over that impact) has only been noticed relatively recently. That doesn't excuse it, certainly, and it's absolutely true that these companies have gone to considerable lengths to keep such issues from coming to light and/or deny responsibility for them, but it's not like they've made all of these shady decisions recently, nor are they representative of the safety of their many other products. It's a long-standing issue, and representing it witout a time scale like that misrepresents its intensity.

If that's your metric for not trusting anything, you're going to have an extremely difficult time eating any food whatsoever.

This is the hypocrisy I see. The lack of trust is completely selective and only informed by the information that has broken through on media, as opposed to being based on a rational and informed viewpoint.

More than that, information that's broken through in the media that you've already decided you're going to agree with. It's an alarmist reaction to legitimate problems that have been taken out of context for the purposes of fearmongering. Nobody's saying that they aren't legitimate problems, just that previous convictions of fraud for the company shouldn't make you afraid of one of the most heavily scrutinized products in medical history. You don't have to blindly trust them: the data is available and has been reviewed by countless agencies that have plenty of incentive to call Pfizer (or whoever) out if their vaccine is actually harmful.

Really, this is fine. Pharmaceutical companies (most big companies, really), by and large, are indeed terrible. Using that to justify categorically distrusting everything they do, however, isn't reasonable, and that becomes a major problem when such fearmongering is used to undermine the best chance we have of solving the greatest public health crisis in a century (as is the case with that image).

Ill keep responding to these posts the same way.

I need food to live. I cant hunt with my crossbow when I need to eat because (my) society wants to regulate that. I do not need any vaccine to live (survive).

My moms neighbour is fully-vaxxed (two no booster) and shes in the hospital on a ventilator right now with Delta. Non-smoker. No negative health history that I know of.
