in asking for a source if you are willing to resort to ad hominems to dismiss information you do not like. Do you do it because you've learned to validate yourself by being a labrat? Not everyone desires to be that degenerate.

People only post on banned.video to bypass scrutiny. They only wish to speak out to their echo chamber for their own benefit.

There isn't a conspiracy. The establishment would be desperate to see any evidence that is contrary to current theories, that is how science works.

All the evidence that backs up the current theories is boring and doesn't excite you. That is a poor way of determining what is true, but some people are eager for that.

Unless a video actually is documenting evidence visually, it will have to be citing sources that can be checked and verified. If you want some credibility, go past the video and throw down some sources. Nobody wants to watch "the other side" grandstand about something when you can just skip the presenter and get to the resources yourself. Oh, but that video has garbage sources that are repeatedly disproved? How sad.

Doubling down, and ironically. You are wrong. Thanks for validating my assertion.

Claims like this is why I decided to not argue with you anymore. I cannot believe you genuinely think like that.

Because you don't understand how science works and you dislike when people point that out to you?

Oh fuck you must be retarded :rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2::rofl2: if you actually are I'm sorry but that's funny as fuck.
I am actually autistic and you’ve not contributed to this thread beyond being a middle aged dude posting garbage links to conspiracy sites. I am starting to learn that age doesn’t bring wisdom.

Despiteful remarks are neither here or there. If you are comfortable with your head in the sand, I am in no position to pull it out for you.

I will mention that it is incredibly selfish of you to request others to get vaccinated so that you feel safer. It presumes your life is more valuable when your actions continually stress reevaluation.

Why should people choose you over themselves?

You're refusing to get vaccinated, despite the overwhelming amount of scientific evidence that shows vaccines to be safe and effective, and despite the scientific evidence showing the serious risks associated with COVID-19. You're literally an anti-vax COVID denier.

I don't think anyone could reasonably say @The Catboy is the one with their head in the sand, lol.

I don't know if you're being hypocritical and ridiculous on purpose or if you're just plain stupid.

Hey nice state religion you got there.

I've seen the evidence for "serious risk" regarding Covid and I am far away from that category and closer to being complicated by the vaccine. Nice of you to play doctor for me. The name calling suggests you have nothing useful to offer.

Look dude, you still haven’t even posted any links proving mass voter fraud, that vaccines weren’t effective/harmful/other, nor really anything else that you’ve made claims on. You go page after page pretending your claims are worth a shit and pretend being asked for a source is too much for you. You don’t understand science. If you can’t provide sources, then you don’t understand science. If you dance around the bush for 3 days when asked for a source, then you don’t understand science. If your source is just some uncredited claims and you can’t acknowledge that, then you don’t understand science. That statement was based on your actions.
As for your comments on the value of my life. No where did I say my life was more valuable than others. Asking people people to have consideration for the well-being of others isn’t putting my life above them. I don’t understand how you came to that conclusion but I am best to assume it’s just another attempt to control the conversation.

I'm not making any claims about non-presented data. Interpretation also does not require "a source", so if you disagree with my interpretation, demanding a source is not a rebuttal. However, as already established, when you are provided a source for something that falls outside of your accepted data set, you say that it's not worth your time and call names. It is pointless to entertain you as being "scientific" when you and your peers easily resort to strawmen and ad hominem fallacies to suppress conversation. At that point, you reduce yourself to just a noisy mob.

If you want to make this about potential election fraud, I do not have confidence in America's election process. It's not an unreasonable position considering the list of presidents you've had and the history of foul-play alleged by both sides. Are both sides are liars or both sides telling the truth. Either way, you have a system operating on fraud. If you dispute that both sides have dipped into these shenanigans, then I'm really not patient enough to have this conversation.

If you can't argue based on points being made as opposed to appeals to authority, then you are not someone worth answering to.

I interpret the current situation as evidence that vaccines have not been effective. I interpret the CDC acknowledging risks in their vaccines to undermine the overzealous claim of safety. I'm not even touching data sets that you consider "fringe" (even like VEARS--despite how ridiculous you'd have to be to protest it).

I'm referring to data that isn't disputed.

Asking people to get vaccinated is putting the value of your life over theirs.

Also, it goes beyond that now.

Vaccinating children for Covid is something that some would think is reasonable. I think that's sick.

The Chinese government didn't create Covid and suing them for a natural virus is stupid.
Been a few weeks and looks like the anti-vax crowd is still posting garbage.
The virus isn't completely natural. The virus the went on the loose was genetically modified in the nearby lab (possibly for experiments for biological warfare). Also the Chinese government did nothing to contain the outbreak when it was discovered. They also bribed the W.H.O. to downplay the severity of the virus as they are against anything that makes them look bad. I don't trust anything their government says. I do know that COVID-19 was in the US back in 2019 before the doctors here knew what it was as I know somebody who his doctors are pretty sure had COVID in Dec 2019 despite no one knowing about it in the US until 2020. His COVID antibodies were off the chart in late 2020 and the only time he was seriously ill was in Dec 2019 when the doctors thought he had double pneumonia.

I don't trust anything the media says as they lie all the time to boost ratings and to get people riled up.

I wish people would stop calling this a vaccine. Just like Flu shot (also not a vaccine), it only tries to help boost immunity and cannot prevent you from getting it. I know plenty of people that still got COVID despite getting the jabs.

Also people have died after getting the COVID shot so not everybody should get it, especially if they have underlying heath issues.

Before people starting saying I'm the problem with COVID still being around I did get my 3 shots last year along with the Flu shot. I can understand why some people are against get the shots since we don't have the whole picture and too many people have had bad reactions getting them.

I thought so too, but i asked a biologist about it:
Aa vaccine is to prevent the bad side effects of an infection, not to prevent infection itself.

i always knew, that the vaccine just (maybe) saves me from dying, but not from infection.

That's why i stay at home most of the time.

You were paid by Pfizer to get it? Do you mean the Canadian government gave you a free lottery ticket for getting vaxxed and you won?
Nah, I ain't getting into that stuff, I'm merely poking fun at some amusing replies I have read here.
I have no idea how the lottery stuff is supposed to work and I have no interest about it either, I got my shots out of necessity, so whatever happens to be hanging at the end of the carousel isn't my concern.
That said, good luck to whoever played the lottery, because why not make this situation a little more humorous by adding RNG into the mix!
Someday I will wake up and learn I can use a scratchcard with vaccine slots, and learn that the 10th one will be a coupon for a free pizza, and honestly I wouldn't even be surprised about it.
I will certainly take the pizza, in any case, I can never say no to a free pizza.

Your risks associated with contracting COVID-19 are significantly higher than any risks associated with the vaccines, even if you're young and healthy. The science is clear on that, so I guess that makes you an anti-science moron.

"Young and healthy" aren't specific enough Dr. Lacius. Please gtfo.

Okay so right now we have one that is persuaded his own biased interpretation of the facts is scientific evidence, and the ones who come troll about being paid by who-knows-what to get vaccinated or other completely broken "theories" with no facts backing them (W.H.O. being bribed? REALLY? You sure you're okay mate?)

This thread is not just a few clowns, it's the entire circus at this point

I've said numerous times that if you have a real medical reason for not getting vaccinated, you shouldn't get vaccinated. That would be something tot talk to your doctor about. However, if that's not the case, then your risks are significantly higher not getting vaccinated vs. getting vaccinated, even if you're young/healthy and less likely to experience serious illness as a result of COVID-19. That was my point, and it was clear. I don't have to be a doctor to acknowledge the scientific facts.

I'm not the one who needs to "GTFO."
