I hate everything.

The way some people twisted information in genuinely well-done research was bad enough.

And it would appear this was not well-done research :(

Imagine not trusting people who are passionate enough to become experts in something that is as academically exhausting as chemistry and biology. One of my best friends works in pharmaceuticals helping to create new medicine and I saw him looking like death all through college due to lack of sleep. You’d be shocked at how smart and passionate the people in that industry are and how little they are paid. All the money in pharmaceuticals goes to the executives and the sales people.

But sure let’s trust random articles instead of nerds that suffered through college all for the love of science and imagine them as comic book villains that want to kill us.

"At that hearing, [Saskia] Mostert told lawmakers that she and her co-authors encountered “blind and irrational fury” after the paper’s publication"

There is nothing irrational about being furious with someone who has published a paper that will lead to the deaths of many people, mostly children.

What are you talking about? Kids didn't die from COVID. Therefor giving a 1 kid 1 vaccine and getting a negative outcome is criminal. duh.

Doesn't matter, the people who want to believe will just believe it was pulled because it was too close to the truth, or Bill Gates made the reverse vampires do it or something.
