WHAT IN THE NAME OF THUNDER?

[b] What is this? What utter nonsense is this? (Daily Mail, today.)

You don't just "find" a cancer-causing element in a "safe and effective" drug made by a leading pharmaceutical company! one to which millions of people have entrusted their health over the last two years??

They made the drug! They know exactly what's in it!

Be warned! This company does not merit one iota of your trust! You are being played![/b]

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout If you lived in California you would know that practically everything is linked to cancer because, under a stupid proposition pushed through by Chicken LIttle general populace -- we can't even blame stupid politicians -- anything with the slightest hint of a cancer risk, and every venue using products known to have the slightest link to cancer (which is essentially all) must carry warning labels or have warning signs on their doors. Science is an ever-moving, ever-evolving search for more information, more clarification. You can wait that 15 years for the epidemiological studies to be complete and bear the risk of becoming infected and possibly dying and most likely infecting others in case your fears of something being later found out come true, or, you could take the vax knowing that right at this moment all evidence shows the vax could reduce the effects of COVID if you contracted it and possibly save your life. Your choice. But please spare us from more of the Chicken Little overkill warnings to avoid anything and everything because it just might, just might, be found to be bad down the pike.
@dancingtongue is this how you convince your self that 4 shots of god knows what, and still can spread covid and catch covid, is normal?.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout The statistics are pretty convincing about the reductions in death, hospitalization, severity, and even transmission compared to the unvaccinated. No vaccine is 100% effective. It is logical that one developed in expedited fashion for an airborne virus -- the most difficult to protect against, and one that tends to constantly mutate -- would not be 100% effective. Actually, approaching 80% effectiveness, given the challenges, is pretty impressive.

@dancingtongue Re you "Chicken Little" examples.

Oh, fear rules anywhere you go these days, replacing sense!

Hence fatuous warnings like this real example from my kitchen cupboard:

[quote]ALLERGY ADVICE: For allergens, see ingredients in [b]bold[/b]. May contain nuts.[/quote]

So far so good? Perhaps... The label even tells us it's suitable for Vegans, so that's all right then. So what's in it?

[quote]Ingredients: [b]PEANUTS [/b](94%), Palm oil, Sugar, Sea-salt, [b]Peanut Oil[/b][/quote]

The product? [i]Peanut Butter[/i]!

Not sure how they get away with calling it "butter" - that's a lie for a start as there is no butter in it. Nor is there anything special about "sea salt", compared with the same Sodium Chloride mined on land.

A while ago someone posted an image on an amateur-engineers' forum of a real warning on the packing of something made or used in California, about an alleged link to cancer. I forget what the product actually was, a simple tool I think, but the its cancer hazard was basically fiction! Or perhaps it may cause cancer if used in California but is perfectly safe if used beyond the State border.

This is untrue. The vax is ineffective against these two Omicron variants. The CEO of Pfizer has said this himself. @dancingtongue
