[Lex Computer & Tech Group/LCTG] Concern over MRNA Covid Vaccine and Cardiac Side Effects

[Ted Kochanski]

Jon,

I find the statement "On topics on which I'm not an expert (and that's most
all of them) I defer to the consensus of the experts, not the outliers" --
the essence of our generic problem -- the consensus in matters of some
complexity is frequently proven to have been wrong in the long run.

For example when my father-in-law was active as the Medical Officer of
Bossier Parish in northwest Louisiana [circa 1970's] the consensus of the
experts was don't let a diabetic eat ice cream but having  a boiled
skinless potato or white rice was fine
The reality -- noted by outliers such as my father-in-law -- icecream being
a complex sugar suspension [mostly: Lactose, a disaccharide sugar, with
other stuff] is slow to get into the bloodstream -- meanwhile the simple
starches in potato [not the skin] or white rice are converted to glucose by
the saliva and essentially in the bloodstream nearly instantly

Galileo would be another of those outliers

Anyway -- today the CDC advisory panel  [Advisory Committee on Immunization
Practices (ACIP)]   voted 15-0 to include the new instantiation of the MRNA
COVID-19 vaccine as a recommended childhood vaccine along with the
traditional and tested standards of whooping cough, etc.
Note there is no [as in NONE] human data yet available [even for review by
the ACIP] from the vaccine providers only a handful of mice have been used
as "guinea pigs"

Well -- under the circumstances -- I'm skeptical of the efficacy versus
safety for the youngest of our population
