As I see it, the problem is when what is imagined is taken for what is. Plato distinguishes between truth and imagination, dreams and reality. What do...
It also does not square with the dialogues. The dialogues do not clarify themselves in conversation. The leap from language and discursive thought to ...
Calling things you know nothing about "metaphysical realities" illustrates the problem. We know nothing of life before or after death. We know nothing...
Since the topic of this thread is the examined life, it is appropriate once again, to examine what it is that you know in distinction from what it is ...
There is a split that goes back at least as far as Plato. On the one hand, Socrates' human wisdom is his knowledge of his ignorance, and, on the other...
It is very often the case that readers mistake the images Plato creates on the cave wall for their escape from the cave. Good point. Dialectic is mutu...
Some think that dialectic is a method that leads to knowledge of the Forms. But how can someone know this unless they have completed the journey? That...
To be clear, you are making things less clear. We cannot evaluate the safety of a vaccine without some knowledge of it. When it is said to be safe thi...
I think that what you are getting at in the first part is two-fold. One, do not make the all to common mistake of thinking that argument and philosoph...
When an assessment is made it cannot measure things that only become evident at a latter date. If it is discovered years later that a drug poses a dan...
We are not dealing with quantum mechanics. The measurement does not alter what is being measured. The safety of a product and the determination of its...
The degree of certainty of its safety does not make it more safe, it simply makes us more certain that it is safe. It does not miraculously change the...
Still looking for something to argue against. What I said was: It sometimes happens that a drug is approved and is later found to cause problems. Whet...
Rigorous industry standards have nothing to do with anti-vaxxers. Vaccines are only one class of regulated pharmaceutical products. Shingrix and Garda...
It may be rendered more safe if the FDA makes recommendations for changes with regard to labelling, packaging, identification of groups for whom the v...
Indeed you are! You are confusing authorization with the widespread professional opinion backed by substantial evidence that the vaccine is safe and e...
At this point it is still up to you, but that might change. It is not just me saying this. Peter Marks, Director of the Center for Biologics Evaluatio...
Again we are back to your misunderstanding of the term bureaucracy and how this particular bureaucracy works. All of their work is to establish safety...
Are you deliberately trying to misconstrue what I've said? What was at issue in my initial comment to @"180 Proof" was the choose of getting the vacci...
Nowhere do I say that "the work they're doing is other than safety and efficacy work". Of course the data is related to safety and efficacy, that is w...
You repeatedly conflate the question of whether the vaccine has been shown to be safe and effective enough to get vaccinated now with the issue of ful...
Once again making claims and then attributing them to me. What I said was: Note the bolding: AT THIS POINT. Is that not clear enough? That is not to d...
In that case once again you are disagreeing with a claim of your own making. I said nothing of the sort. What I said is: The problem begins with your ...
This is interesting in several respects that I won't go into. I will only mention the idea of the old and venerable. We tend to put more value in what...
What needs to be understood is why he is doing this. Again, you need to understand why he is attempting to draw the limits of what can be thought. He ...
Why the need to twist and render hyperbolic every statement? I said several times that they cannot simply rely on an incomplete review. Once again, yo...
We have already been through this, but you evidently desire a dance partner. The safety and efficacy have been established. The vaccine has not yet be...
Do you mean his or Plato's interest in telling this unlikely "likely tale"? Or the city at war? Or the cause of the cosmos or in action? Do you mean t...
We would not have gone through it the first time if not for your penchant for disputation. I said the vaccines were safe and effective. Authoritative ...
Regarding safety and efficacy a quick search led to results including the following. Some are of the misguided belief that safety and efficacy will no...
Doesn't that depend on one's interests? Someone who takes no interest in talk about gods will see them as separate, with scientific models being appro...

This is your misunderstanding that you attribute to me. The only way it would reduce the risk is if something previously unknown or undisclosed were t...
I am not going to chase down what you quoted in another thread. You said earlier in this thread: I think the problem may be your lack of understanding...
Perhaps this might help https://www.fda.gov/news-events/press-announcements/fda-brief-fda-provides-guidance-master-protocols-evaluating-prevention-tre...
What do you think this means? The statement continues: Whether a proposition is true or false is determined by reality, by what is the case, a state o...
Socrates expected to find something else in Anaxagoras because Anaxagoras says that Mind directs and causes all things. He assumes that Mind is like h...
That is your assertion not mine. The investigation has been ongoing from the start. It include both positive and negative reports. I did not say that....
For me it is about trying to understanding Wittgenstein. His argument is a priori, but it is not about creating a world, it is about the transcendenta...
There is a process in place that must be followed. It still needs to be rigorously documented. That is not a waste of time. That it is is your assumpt...
The point is that what the find will confirm that the vaccine is safe and effective. It is sometimes the case that a product is approved and then pull...
When you deny that the world does not yet exist for a baby it seems to me that that is exactly the point. If you connect existing to interests and car...
The role of the FDA is to verify that products are safe and effective. There is ample evidence that the vaccine is safe and effective. They are still ...
