| I'm not sure this information will sway very many people. I have relatives who are all getting tested for t-cell counts related to mRNA because they are convinced they are the cause of any and all health problems they are facing. It seems like the medical professionals who are administering the tests are at least somewhat responsible for their misapplication. |

| Information won’t sway someone who’s views aren’t based on information. |

| It's not about swaying individuals. Let people believe their stupid stuff. It's about swaying investors and regulators. And yeah, we need to make sure we excise our regulators of crazy people, but that's cyclic. And next cycle, we'll get vaccines for a lot more. |

| ▲ | doginasuit 3 hours ago | parent [-] | | Point taken, but it isn't just a matter of individuals, it is a popular movement that has captured a significant part of role of regulators. The research is still valuable, but its lack of influence is not a problem that is safe to dismiss. |

| It matters over time. The old kooks die off and are replaced with people who are relatively sane until they find new things to be old kooks about. |

| ▲ | babypuncher 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | Two things can be true: Big Pharma can be evil, and their products are much better vetted for safety and efficacy than random peptides sourced form mystery factories. | | |

| ▲ | vlian2088 5 hours ago | parent | prev [-] | | and do you really think a significant percentage of forced vaccination detractors are taking mystery peptides? have there been studies, or are you vibing this guess off snarky reddit comments? | | |
| ▲ | ianm218 4 hours ago | parent [-] | | Anecdotally I know several people who would fall in the camp of anti vax but openly use peptides. And intuitively it makes sense we’re talking about groups of people who are skeptical of main stream institutional health recommendations but trust specific personal sources for medical advice. I’m vibing but it feels like there is a pretty clear intersection of peptides and the fringe science health community no? |

As many of us said at the time, the mandates weren't worth the destruction of public trust, especially because the vaccine wasn't even sterilizing. The next time there's a crisis, resist the urge to use the government to achieve outcomes by brute force. It doesn't work and has generational adverse consequences. | | | |

| ▲ | doginasuit 5 hours ago | parent | next [-] | | Well cited doesn't mean very much outside of the context of peer reviewed work. This book pushes Ivermectin and Hydroxychloroquine as "miracle cures", thanks to that idea my relatives also have a stockpile of both. | |

Although almost every source also contradicts his conclusions on some basic, logical, statistical, mathematical, or humane level, if you bother to fact check them. So it’s quite hard to quantify what it means to say it has good citations. | |
