Sharon, I thought it would be an interesting exercise to google logically fallacies and covid vaccines and this is what I found: '#1: The false dichotomy fallacy ... This is a false dichotomy, as it suggests there are only two possible options for vaccine efficacy: (1) the vaccines stop 100% of infections all the time or (2) the vaccines are completely ineffective. In reality, neither of these options is correct. Vaccines reduce the risk of infection, hospitalization, and death (what scientists mean when they say the vaccines ‘work’), but they don’t completely eliminate it (some breakthrough infections will happen). ... ' I'll leave the others for your own perusal. |

This is a very radical idea on the vexatious vaccine issue that I came across only very recently. While some argue that it wasn't the smallpox vaccine that eradicated smallpox, it was improvements in living standards, Russian naturopath, Katerina Sugak, argues that smallpox was simply never a distinct illness but rather an umbrella for a number of conditions such as chicken pox, measles, rashes caused by chemicals and so on meaning no eradication has occurred, it's just that cases people might have determined in the past were smallpox they now determine to be chicken pox, etc. Facts that tend to support this theory over both the vaccination and living standards theories in my opinion:
Katerina Sugak - The Truth about Smallpox (1hr 8m) Supposedly, the last death from smallpox was that of Janet Parker on 11 September 1978 in Birmingham, UK who, it seems, was infected at a lab. Her death indirectly led to the death of the head of the microbiology department where the infection occurred who suicided over his guilt over her death and apparently her father died of cardiac arrest after visiting her in hospital. |
