The former Florida surgeon general is rebuking claims by the DeSantis administration that updated COVID-19 vaccines have “not been proven to be safe or effective” and that the shots should not be recommended for individuals under the age of 65.
The COVID vaccines remain “very, very safe, and have a really proven efficacy, particularly against preventing severe disease,” Dr. Scott Rivkees, the former Florida surgeon general during the initial years of the pandemic, told ABC News.
“If they say that COVID vaccines are not safe and that they are not effective, the onus is on them to show those data,” Rivkees said.
Also, how strongly do you believe it and how does it affect your actions. I believe that the military could conclusively prove that the UFO stuff is terrestrial in origin but don’t because it would expose national secrets either in military technology development or intelligence gathering abilities (it’s experimental aircraft but might not all be ours). I recognize that I don’t have good evidence for that belief and that it’s a conspiracy theory and I’m not out here trying to hack government servers or attacking politicians it prove it.
It’s a better theory than literal aliens. No species smart enough for interstellar travel would be dumb enough to go near a planet controlled by angry apes with nukes.
Yeah, I’m sure I believe in things that are technically conspiracy theories, such as that even BPA-free plastic is unsafe for food, but research on it is being stifled.
Do I avoid plastic? Not really, I’m lazy. Do I talk about it to people? Nope. Do I casually believe that corporate institutions are speeding my death through greed? Yes, but zero other effects on my life… that I can tell at least. I guess my family could be planning an intervention about how I need to come out of the fog.
