Nicole Shanahan called for the recall of Moderna’s COVID jab on Tuesday—a statement at least one epidemiologist decried as nonsense.

    Oh, Jesus, not this “myocarditis” thing again…

    Here’s the deal… I’ve had it… in 2019, before these vaccines were even a thing. It SUCKS. It really SUCKS. It feels like you’re being stabbed straight in the goddamned heart.

    It actually hurts WORSE than either of the legitimate heart attacks I’ve had.

    My cardiologist told me it can be caused by ANY mild infection, and, yeah, I had a stupid little cold just before it happened. The fix? Keep calm and take anti-infammatories.

    https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/conditions-and-diseases/myocarditis

    So, yeah, vaccines juice your immune response, and yeah, that increase in immune response can cause myocarditis… JUST LIKE ANY OTHER INFECTION.

    Rate of myocarditis in covid vaccine recipients? 2.4 in 1,000. So, vaccinate a million people? 2,400 out of a million.

    Anti-vax nonsense is about the only real policy of that campaign. That and sincerely trying to get Trump elected.

    Also, I’m amused that she’s gone from being “the ex-wife of Sergey Brin” to “RFK Jr.'s running mate”. She hasn’t done anything to really merit getting her own name in the headlines she generates.

    I’m so happy I never heard of any of these people until recently.

      Which gets back to the point of “why did RFK pick this person who 99% of Americans had never heard of?”

      I still wish he had went with Aaron Rodgers. Mostly because I just want the NFL to be rid of that guy and I think campaigning might’ve forced him to skip the season.

        I think he picked her because she’s rich and he wants to bone her

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That’s all the rules!
