Using a majoritarian poll to assess how popular it would be to violate the individual protections of the Constitution kind of defeats the whole purpose of separate judicial powers.

It sounds like the people who have massively benefited from the collusion of public and private power are suddenly interested in fighting fascism?

You're the one mentioning it, so I figured it would have some value for you. I prefer that people make points as precisely as possible.

Some might say that, by backing an unviable candidate, you are responsible for the outcome.

Like assassinating US citizens, double-tap drone strike war crimes, being publicly outed as mentally unfit, trying to use OSHA to enforce compulsory medication, unnecessarily destroying seven countries, and boning an intern in the Oval Office?

This is the VAERS reporting. When you look at biomarkers of heart damage, there are a lot of sub-clinical cases that don't get reported to VAERS.

Quietly. There is huge asymmetry between the media blitz and the retraction, to the extent that many people are still confused about the truth.

Good call out. But, I would not say that the Covid vaccines did a good job of limiting the spread of Covid, would you?

The tricky thing about absolutist statements is that they can be disproven by a single accurate counterexample. The vaccine skeptics get some things very right, especially around the perverse incentive structure for vaccine development and approval.

The hypothetical is that people might become less healthy. We already know that Americans are exceedingly unhealthy.

Oh yes. I agree that someone who exposes falsehoods is not automatically correct. He has a lawyer's understanding of science.

Hmm...We already have evidence that the health of the American people is quite dismal. You want us to weigh that less heavily than your hypothetical scenario?

MJ only likes its own lies. Anyone who wants a Covid vaccine can get one. If they don't need it, because they are extremely low risk, they can still get it off-label from their doctors.

And the advertisers would have been issued warning letters for promoting to kids using puppets and comic books. "Public health" gave them a huge hall pass, both on promotional ethics and on market viability.

I have monitored drug approvals for many years.
If you released a drug that gave 1 in 3000 young men heart damage, with very little likely benefit (either to their demographic or to the population at large), it would either be reindicated or slapped with a black box warning.
