SIR GUESTLING THORN

 Day 228

I have had enough of all those who pollute our eyes with false fake news and “facts”   Why are there so many idiots out there who want to scare, confuse and generally fuck people round? Another consequence of far to much space for those who wish to spout unfounded propaganda to suit their own agenda. I have at times started to take notice myself but I realise quickly that I’m being sucked into a conspiracy theory with no real facts to support it! The current big one concerns the vaccine for Covid. Already the conspiracy theories and disinformation is pouring out aimed at scaring us and building on the trend in recent times that has espoused the idea that all vaccines are dangerous? Yes there have been drugs and other medicines that even with rigorous testing have proved to be either not as effective or do have some nasty side effects for SOME people! Medicine however well intentioned is not a foolproof science. To listen to some of these conspiracies you’d think that the pharmaceutical companies are trying to fundamentally alter our DNA in partnership with billionaires who seemingly are trying control us. Now I am no expert and I have a poor grasp of biology and medicine, so i will listen to those who are far cleverer and are actually experts. I have never heard a scientist say that vaccines are dangerous or that we should not trust the science. Not only that they explain why and how they work. The latest news of the vaccine for Covid is welcome but it will be some time before it becomes available and still has some hurdles to overcome before it is allowed to be released. Instead of condemning it out of hand and spreading unsubstantiated facts, lets give it the benefit of the doubt. And before I leave the subject, ask yourself this? How can you know very much about a vaccine which has only just been created and tested on only 43000 subjects, even the Pfizer who have produced it are still evaluating and they are saying so far it looks good! 

Now if you don’t want to take it fine, your choice but do not try to influence others by spreading unsubstantiated information. Personally I will when available, admittedly I am in the “vulnerable” range but even so i would have it.

Stay well
