I’m generally pro vaccine. But I can understand why people don’t trust the private pharma companies in the US. They have traded trust for profit. Just another reason medicine shouldn’t be controlled by the profiteering ultra rich.
An epidemic preventing vaccine should be open to anyone that wants to use and copy it with the highest level of testing and oversight. Instead you have private companies making more money than god that will cut every corner if they think they can get away with it.
I trust general doctors to be able to fix things like a broken arm, do test for known ailments ect. But I don’t trust them at all when it comes recommending treatment if the treatment is a pill being pushed.
And this is due to multiple personal experiences. the worst being given a near unlimited prescription opioids as a teenager after a car accident without being told how addictive they are. I will never get those years back and I was told it was safe. And other pills where side effects have cause life changing levels of harm I have still not recovered from years later and they never once went over them before giving them out. I can go on and on about all the times I’ve been mislead doctors.
The idea of the holy medical professional propaganda is such bs and stale at this point a quick Google search will show examples of how device and pharmaceutical companies routinely pay doctors through loopholes and they spend BIllions doing so.
The doctors and research scientists that are developing and constantly improving the technology that allows vaccines to happen is an entirely different group of people from general practitioners.
The person at the urgent care clinic down the road isn’t also actively researching mRNA vaccines, that’s not how any of this works.
It’s crazy “logic” to distrust academia because you had a shitty doctor.
Ex-wife was an OR nurse. The drug company reps would hang around the hospital and take everyone out to party after work. They’d sling free samples by day, $1,000 bar/restaurant tabs at night, all expensed. And they made bank.
You’re splitting hairs. When I go to the doc who says, “Look. I took money for a different drug from a different company, not for vaccines from this company,” I’m more than little disgusted. So I can give a little understanding to someone who doesn’t have the scientific background like I do when they dismiss the whole system as corrupt.

sounds like anti-vaccine excuse to me lol, if this how people trying to downplay thier anti-vaxx rhetoric.
Sure, but that doesn’t mean you don’t trust the actual doctors and scientists who are not on the payroll

Those companies bribe doctors and scientists all the time.
Still not a good reason to be antivax, though.
What fucking bribes?
The ones pharmaceutical reps give.
Research scientists aren’t bribed by pharmaceutical companies. That’s not a thing.
As a scientist, my colleagues and I are still waiting for our bribes.
As a prof, can I have a bit on the side?

Yea… Those guys weren’t selling vaccines…
Yeah. … but they are the same companies selling them this is well documented
Moving goalposts? I was replying to:

No, pointing out that no one is pushing vaxx for money. Lol.
