I think it depends on two main factors. One is, as you say, the reason you're doing it (ameliorating a greater harm/risk might outweigh the imposition...
Firstly, where they are is right in the middle of their main job - full approval of a BLA for a new medicine. Secondly, you've still not given any det...
It's a blessing just to hear from someone who actually understands at least the structure of the argument I'm making... at least I'm not having to exp...
Why have you started from the middle of our conversation? You said That is wrong. That's all I've been arguing. Your own later comment says as much. I...
Still going? How have you translated my saying that your argument doesn't make sense into me disagreeing with one of its propositions? If I claimed tr...
I'm not sure that the integration of information is the correct teleology for the systems Friston describes. The objective is to minimise free energy ...
Yes, sorry. I missed out the important analysis of the statistics - here (see chart no 3) https://medium.com/@wpegden/weighing-myocarditis-cases-acip-...
From the petition sent to the FDA by (among others) Peter Doshi, Associate Professor, Pharmaceutical Health Services Research,University of Maryland S...
Last try. I'm fairly sure there's no tiger in the next room. I've checked as best I can using a standard tiger-searching method. It's safe to go in th...
No one is denying it's safe and effective. As I said No one is denying it takes time either... I'm not sure who you're arguing against here. Again, no...
That's our other matter of dispute. Here in the UK take up is over 90% for the first dose and 74% for the second https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/health-552...
If 70 in every 100 are in the group {ought to take the vaccine} and there are factors determining who is and is not in that group, my chances of being...
No there isn't. 70% is the prevalence. The proportion of a population who fall ( or in our case, should fall) into some set. It's only the same as 'ch...
Of course. To the extent vaccines reduce the risk of severe illness I can do likewise by reducing the factors known to be associated with over 90% of ...
So, Peter Marks, director of the FDA’s Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research is lying when he says... In actual fact they can just use that dat...
Well then maybe you could clear that up? The original sentence you took issue with was a question, so cannot be an inference and I've not once suggest...
Well, this has taken a turn for the Kafkaesque No. It doesn't require research to know that fewer than 30% of the population are injured by vaccines. ...
The VAERS data is freely available here https://vaers.hhs.gov/data.html. It's considerably less than 30%. I really can't make any sense of that I'm af...
Not sure how you think repeating it is going to help. You could just explain how you think the inference is wrong. Unless you genuinely think that my ...
We agreed that 70% of the population should take the vaccine. I asked who the 70% should be, you replied... Leaving the 30% to be made up of people li...
Are we just going to go through the whole dance again? Safe and effective are not binomial measures. They're continuous variables. Things can be safe,...
So you think that 30% of the population are likely to be injured from taking the vaccine? And the immunocompomised (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/a...
Ahh, I misread you. Interesting, but I don't think it's a majority is it? Most talk (Eric Topol recently, for example) has been about the difficulty m...
Sure. The headline is that the brain is hierarchical (in both structure and network relations) such that each cortex or cluster has, as it's data inpu...
I suppose 'popular' and 'mainstream' go pretty much hand-in-hand here. We've only recently got used to having more than four TV channels, whereas you ...
Mainly the UK Guardian/Obsever, plus my experience with generally left-wing colleagues who've perhaps read more widely. I read the Jacobin quite frequ...
I think the other issue here is this kind of epistemo-moral imperative which has somehow been snuck in to recent narratives. No longer is it sufficien...
No, absolutely not. But, as I said above, many other industries can also lay claim to outstanding achievements, it doesn't seem to buy them a free pas...
Yeah. As I said, the polemicising effect of social media pushes this kind of narrative. Government evil. Scientists saints. No nuance. No balance. I'm...
I don't see that being enough. The measles vaccine alone is responsible for saving millions of lives, but so are fertilisers, it doesn't make us trust...
Yeah. I think this is one of the most interesting things about the progress of this pandemic. It's really highlighted the way in which the Pharmaceuti...
I don't have an 'opinion' on the matter, I'm not an expert in immunology. David Dowdy, Associate Professor of epidemiology at Johns Hopkins says... So...
The European Medicine Agency doesn't work in the same way as the FDA. Four vaccines have been approved, but their approval rating has a sub-category "...
So, what level of risk reduction absolves one's social responsibility here? Is there a point where we can reasonably be said to have done enough to re...
Their client could have mandated vaccinations, didn't, and someone died - big payout: Their client mandated a fully approved vaccination and someone d...
You said that not taking the vaccine was... ...I'm asking you how it is detrimental to a group outcome in the scenario I outlined. I don't see how me ...
Oh, and to be super clear. On... "I expect there's no tiger in that room" and "I've checked; there's no tiger in that room" are two entirely different...
I'm not sure why you're addressing that to me. It's precisely the argument I've been making. The FDA work makes "a real difference" in significant are...
Strange how the supply of evidence vacillates between being a marker of one's sanity to being entirely optional depending on which side of the debate ...
Not sure why you'd suppose that since I've not claimed anything even close to such a proposition. It depends entirely on how poorly working it is and ...
I didn't say that I think it won't be approved. I said that the risk to the public is higher prior to them completing their checks than it is after th...
