I've seen a video talking about the leaked Facebook files where it says they should remove true information about side effects. It says Facebook should remove:

True information:

a. Delta: The Surgeon General wants us to remove true information about side effects.

Why do you think people should or shouldn't know about the side effects of the COVID vaccine?

There are people questioning the veracity of the quote so I've searched a bit and found some sources.

I love that he keeps referencing "the government" and "the US government" as if they control what other countries do. Like Sweden would give two fucks what the US government is trying to hide, they'd be telling everyone.

That was a mistake, I fixed it. The quote is from the US government, this doesn't have anything to do with all governments.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No dude, that's my point. Even if the US government wanted to keep it a secret, why haven't we heard anything from Australia? Switzerland? Sweden? The EU in general? The US government does not "control the world" dude, you know that right? If it was unsafe and the US was censoring it... other countries wouldn't have to follow our rules. That's what I'm saying. if it's a conspiracy, then it would have to be a global conspiracy beyond anything we've ever seen, with zero leaks, with zero doctors coming forward breaking oaths, with no rogue governments.

There definitely wouldn't be some video posted on freaking YouTube about it.

There have been doctors coming out, you just can't hear their opinion on the main channels because they are controlled by the US. And there have been videos posted on freaking YouTube about it, but guess what YouTube is censored just as well as Facebook because it's hosted in the US.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Oh and the deceased! We be hearing about them world wide, oh and the families of the deceased. What about the friends of the deceased! With that many of those people who have been kept quiet now too. How many hundreds of millions are in on the secret now?

[–] Veritas@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

No one is talking about the deceased. As long as I know the side effects include myocarditis in 1 out of 35 people vaccinated, so if someone dies of it, it wouldn't automatically be attributed to the vaccine, specially with the US censoring the relation between vaccine and side effects.

Myocardial Injury after COVID-19 mRNA-1273 Booster Vaccination

But I found the paper in a Rumble video so I guess that makes it misinformation right @Veraticus@lib.lgbt ? Or is it just when you disagree with it?

[–] sin_free_for_00_days@sopuli.xyz 6 points 1 year ago (2 children)

From your link:

mRNA-1273 booster vaccination-associated elevation of markers of myocardial injury occurred in about one out of 35 persons(2.8%), a greater incidence than estimated in meta-analyses of hospitalized cases with myocarditis (estimated incidence 0.0035%) after the second vaccination.14,15 Elevated hs-cTnT was independent of previous COVID infection or the interval since the last vaccine dose. Among the overall group of participants, hs-cTnT concentration on day 3 after mRNA-1273 booster vaccination as a continuous variable, was significantly higher compared to a well-matched control cohort. Second, all cases were mild with only a transient and short period of myocardial injury (maximum hs-cTnT concentration 35ng/L).

It goes on to say:

Thus, for the majority of individuals, the overall very favorable risk-benefit ratio of booster immunizations persists.

The concluding paragraph:

In conclusion, using active surveillance, mRNA-1273 vaccine-associated mild transient myocardial injury was found to be much more common than previously thought. It occurred in one out of 35 persons, was mild and transient, and more frequent in women versus men. Neither anti-IL-1RA, nor pre-existing vaccine/infection-induced immunity or systemic inflammation seemed to be dominant mechanisms of myocardial injury. No participant developed MACE within 30-day

MACE stands for "Major adverse cardiac events"

I'm not sure what your angle is/was, but the study sounds like it's not really a big deal at all, compared to the adverse effects of getting COVID without the jab. It's only interesting from a medical study standpoint.

[–] Veritas@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

My angle is that the US government wants to censor even this type of information just for pointing at side effects, and people should be pissed but they just don't seem to care, and I'm wondering why they don't care about the US censoring this information.

[–] Mewtwo@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 1 year ago

Ignore OP, he's arguing in bad faith and refuses to see any other valid points against his opinion.

The vaccine compared to all other vaccines is a negligible difference. Plus op is ignoring the insane amount of people covid did kill.

[–] livus@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

@Veritas your link does not quite say what you think it says/were told it says. Here's what it says:

  • 2.8 percent of people in the study had mild myocardial effects (that's your one in 35)

  • most of them were women

  • the effects were shortlived, "mild and transient"

  • none of them even had any ECG changes

  • none of them had any adverse cardiac event

Here's a link to the actual published paper which is easier to read in browsers and carries more weight.

This is freely available information and I wish more media did cover it in a responsible manner, because this data supports that the vaccine is quite safe - we see the same thing in the larger cohort studies.

Unfortunately what we have in many western countries is a "dumbed down" populace that consumes childish media stories with very little information in them.

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 2 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Good point! Manufacturers of meds, everyone in the supply chain there would have to know so they'd be able to produce more. This is good I was wondering how the supply chain fit in. Truckers suddenly supplying more medication secretly under the cover of night, this all makes sense, this is good keep me going. Who else knows that haven't told us yet?

[–] Veritas@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well if the mainstream media knew they wouldn't tell you either since they just go along with the government public statements.

The US propaganda machine explained

Insurance of course! Think of all the extra hospital bills that they're paying out. Of course they would all be in on it which means that HR an employer is mostly are too because they have to pay for the extra sick time and the extra insurance premiums!

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The pastors and morticians of friends and families, the secret crematoriums, the morgues who process all of these cases

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The millions of nursing staff, from pediatricians to elder care, ho elder care homes that one is probably huge. Again friends and family of all these people

Wow this conspiracy just keeps going, all of these people are all in on it. All of them just silently shredding documents and hiding numbers. Wow okay let's keep going with who else is involved.

THE IRS OF COURSE.

Just think of the missing tax revenue! How are they hiding it all?! Man that one must be hard because you have to hide it somewhere else while also keeping the secret going

[–] mrbubblesort@kbin.social 3 points 1 year ago

Ok, then why isn't it on youku or bilibil or wechat or telegram or whatever the fuck the russians use? There's only two options here:

  1. That there is a global conspiracy where Putin, Xi Jinping, Kovind, Bolsonaro and everyone else ALL got together and agreed to absolutely never dunk on the US even once

  2. You're batshit insane

Pick one
