A significant nail in the coffin of his presidential campaign: the stupid assumption that a lack of regulation of the corporate abuses of vaccines is somehow addressed by removing all regulation of said companies. I hope he gets A LOT of attention for this, because it will put an end to him taking votes from electable Democrats.

Except he never said anything like that. He's actually a champion of government regulation. He just against the corporate regulatory capture that we currently have.

"He's finished now, for sure!"

Lather, rinse, repeat.

He didn't actually say that in the NBC news article being quoted. Those were the words of the NBC writer.

What he has been saying though, is that he will hold them to account. Is that not a good thing?

I 100% agree with most of what he says, though cannot agree regarding anti-vaccine theories.. So - absolutely - hold BigCorp and the government agencies to account.

What specific theory or theories do you disagree with?

[–]bootylicious 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

I note anti-vaccine theories

[–]FThumbStay thirsty, my friends 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (2 children)

It's no longer a 'theory' that the mRNA vax is neither safe nor effective.

[–]bootylicious 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

It's never been anything more than a dumb theory. Look up the facts.

[–]FThumbStay thirsty, my friends 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

The facts are in, the more shots you take the higher your likelihood of catching covid. That's a fact.

[–]tomatopotato★ Free Assange ★ 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yeah, I mean, what specifically has he said that you disagree with?

[–]FThumbStay thirsty, my friends 4 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 0 fun5 insightful - 1 fun -  (20 children)

though cannot agree regarding anti-vaccine theories..

This isn't a theory, it's data!

That's part of a disinformation campaign led by highly funded anti-vax websites. Search:

japan excess deaths booster shots

Long before November 2021, the last booster shots were taken in other countries. In general, boosters were not necessary in November 2021. Japan did not conduct sufficient COVID studies of the causes of deaths throughout the COVID period and thereafter. It's thus not known at all if causes of death were related to COVID or indeed to booster shots.

They didn't have to be. It's a graph of raw data, shots and total excess deaths.

You're falling for a major disinformation campaign funded by pharmaceutical interests.

You linked to misinformation and I told you how it's misinformation. So your response of - 'No You' - is ridiculous.

The shoe fit. You're spreading government sponsored misinformation.

The data from the Japanese Ministry of Health is just as damning:

https://twitter.com/You3_JP/status/1615011156741214208

Purple = "Covid" deaths

Green = non-"Covid" deaths

That's an opinion, not a fact. It's also wrong. Japan has a massive aging population. In 2020, 28.6% of Japan's population was aged 65 years old and over.

[–]tomatopotato★ Free Assange ★ 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (13 children)

How is it an opinion? It's just numbers.

Aging population doesn't explain the sharp rise coinciding with the vaccination program, in contrast with no significant change in 2020, the year before the "vaccine".

[–]bootylicious 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (12 children)

It's an opinion, by someone who made a graph to display that opinion. (I'm surprised I have to explain this.)

That opinion is that the distribution of booster shots, as well as deaths were somehow in similar peaks and troughs, which is impossible. Booster shots and deaths are not periodic, they're in broader trends that are not punctuated. Booster shots have been offered over a long 2 year period in Japan, without interrruptions. Deaths are also not interrupted.

Look at reliable sources for those broad trajectories of development (not OPINION), such as these:

Also, regarding shots in Japan, people here have not been getting them at a constant rate. Instead people are getting them in conjunction with timed government recommendations and campaigns, which explains the unevenness.

Did you look at the correct link? The one I posted has no peaks and troughs. It's just a simple rolling tally using government data. You don't even need to read their opinion. You can just look at the numbers, which speak for themselves:

https://twitter.com/You3_JP/status/1615011156741214208

Purple = "Covid" deaths

Green = non-"Covid" deaths

And I'm not sure it's a good idea to take statista or worldometer at face value either, but okay. The link I shared is data pulled from a government source. Are you saying that is also not reliable? I mean, I would agree that many government sources are in fact unreliable and often suppress data that makes them look bad. But despite that sort of scale-tipping, the results are still terrible. I can't check the Statista links without an account unfortunately, but even the worldometer link shows remarkable increases in cases and deaths coinciding with the vaccine rollout.
