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

[john rudy]

Of course expert opinion evolves over time, and that is what people who do not understand science seem to have difficulty understanding.  Also, headlines rarely explain why the “current” statement was made.  Cleaning food when getting home from the supermarket in the early COVID days seemed reasonable.  Once more data was available the opinion changed (or better yet, evolved).  Newton didn’t become wrong because of relativity

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

 

Ted

If you look hard enough, you can find something that confirms any bias. 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.
