Talk:2515: Vaccine Research

Too bad White Hat and Randall didn't bother to research the other half of the question. YES, vaccines work to save lives. But There Ain't No Such Thing As A Free Lunch, and you need to research *both* sides of any question, not just the side you agree with.Seebert (talk) 12:52, 14 September 2021 (UTC)

I really don't want this to turn into a long debate, but how do you know White Hat/Randall didn't find anything about the risks of vaccines? They never claim that and the fact that White Hat calls the vaccines "pretty good" instead of something like "perfect" would suggest he's aware of the downsides but considers the benefits to outweigh the risks.

This generation of vaccines certainly wasn't a free lunch; they build on >>$10 trillion in (largely taypayer-funded) research into immunology, phage display, sequencing, transfection, etc over half a century, plus effective, slow-moving regulatory bodies with manufacturing and testing standards "written in blood". If you'd like to invoke TANSTAAFL, many vaccine candidates that didn't first pay off their technical debt largely failed. 108.162.241.97

I don't trust the "scientists", so I decided to do my own research. Anyway, I need 5000 people for a double-blind clinical trial, so DM me if you know anyone interested. Svízel přítula (talk) 13:25, 14 September 2021 (UTC)
