The week's question
In March 2025, in the thread "Re: OT, out", Umm asked the members: "Do you think it is because America is made up of magical soil that makes businesses based in America magically profitable?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

To be clear I was responding to your doctor's comment, who seems plainly a fool.

Because she used actual data from my body that indicated I should not take an mRNA? She is still encouraging the non mRNA vaccines, and has sent me for a crap ton of tests that eliminate other possible variables beyond bad vaccine reaction. If that is a fool in your eyes and in those of your post recommenders, you all are clearly not capable of critical or scientific thinking. Is the data from 5 mRNA Covid vaccine shots not enough for your highbrow opinions? How many mRNA vaccines with increasingly poor reactions from each additional shot is enough for you to decide that one should not continue to stress ones body?

There is a trend here, and it indicates full stop of mRNA for this body. I am not telling you not to get a vaccine. Your reactions are all just another form of political correctness. How about independent thinking and responding to data, rather than just buying into the If This Then That approach of the pharmaceutical industry that says EVERYONE MUST DO THIS, even if you die in the process.

Most MDs seem to be technicians following protocol. She seems to be more of a scientist applying a theory, collecting data, and using that data to revise the theory as it applies to one patient, verses an average population of patients which is what is presented in the study conclusions for meds. I am clearly NOT average. I have MANY data points that show that, and it is not an opinion. I do not fit the norm.

Don't expect me to kill myself to "make you safer."

IP,
fully aware that there are idiots out there that reject all vaccines, and fully aware that some of us simply physically can't take all the vaccines du jour, and it's beyond time that you are aware of it too. Stop being smug and uninformed.
