It's not don't trust me bro lol. You are welcome to read the data yourself. The problem is you likely do not have the prerequisite knowledge to understand it.
May I remind you that I'm responding to:
As a concept in particular. That is very much "trust me bro."
I'm not sure what studies in particular say "you should trust 'experts' unquestioningly bro," so I have a sneaking suspicion you're referring to the thing I said I wasn't talking about specifically EIGHT TIMES NOW. Sorry I had to get loud, but it seems nobody can hear around here.
Now, accepting that this vaccine was created in a joint effort by Jesus, Muhammed, and YHWH, OF COURSE it is unquestionable. HOWEVER: Everything ELSE in life, you can't necessarily trust the experts LIKE YOU CAN ON THE HOLY ROMAN COVID VACCINE!! LOOK EVERYONE I'M SAYING IT'S THE BEST EVER, IT'S DELICIOUS I'M EATING ONE RIGHT NOW!!NN!!N
Hopefully I've signaled my unquestioning loyalty on THIS TOPIC well enough to make you realize other things exist? Have I bowed enough that we can have an actual conversation now?
Bro what the fuck are you talking about. The studies demonstrating the safety and efficacy of the vaccines are available to read. If they are pay walled go to a library or university.
Jesus fucking Christ. Pulling goddamn teeth.
I've only said it eight times already, will the ninth really make the difference? I'm sorry dude I just don't think you have the capacity, if you can't figure out "what the fuck I'm talking about" from the thirty comments I've left in this thread already then this is a lost cause, if you do end up deciphering the cryptex then get back to me ig, or don't who cares.
Talking about pulling teeth. Dude you’re super annoying and seem to deliberately misunderstand comments. You’re right, it’s not ‘good SOP’ to blindly trust based on what a government is saying, but no one is stating that.
There is a point where the collective scientific community at large has consensus on a topic, with the ability to ignore a single government, entity, or political movement where it becomes believable. With the COVID vaccines we have passed that point by a very large margin.
But you keep banging on about how scientific (almost complete) consensus the same as some random idiot from the US government saying ‘trust me bro’. That’s a false equivalence and I think you know it.
Tenth time repeating myself gonna do it? Will you finally understand that I'm talking about the attitude of "just trusting people in general," not specifically the best vaccine ever that was made by Christ himself which of course we all love and take one every day.
The fact that you're physically incapable of divorcing the two concepts is frankly not my fault.
Yes yes and scientists have never been collectively wrong about anything and "the science" has never changed based on new information, they're always right even when they're wrong.
You're hopeless, just keep trusting, drive the cybertruck, take the oxycontin, lick the radium paintbrushes, you'll be fine, trust me bro.
