Fda finally admits to what I've been saying for two years.

Another one of my conspiracy theories turned fact.

Not all of us follow Breitbart as closely as you do. It would be helpful if you provided some sort of context as to what you're claiming credit for, so that we may praise and glorify you accordingly.




Wholly unrelated, and mostly non-political: "But sister! More than anything, our best memory will always be everyone's smiles!"

- The last (official) (translated) words uttered by a costumed character on the final day of operation of Nara Dreamland, on August 31, 2006. After the opening of Tokyo Disneyland, Tokyo DisneySea, and Universal Studios Japan, central Japan's showpiece theme park began to slide into declining visitorship, disrepair, and, eventually, abandonment.

From an FDA study:

Surveillance of COVID-19 vaccine safety among elderly persons aged 65 years and older

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264410X22014931

Findings

Four outcomes met the threshold for a statistical signal following BNT162b2 vaccination including pulmonary embolism (PE; RR = 1.54), acute myocardial infarction (AMI; RR = 1.42), disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC; RR = 1.91), and immune thrombocytopenia (ITP; RR = 1.44). After further evaluation, only the RR for PE still met the statistical threshold for a signal; however, the RRs for AMI, DIC, and ITP no longer did. No statistical signals were identified following vaccination with either the mRNA-1273 or Ad26 COV2.S vaccines.

Thou art most wise, oh great prognosticator of small statistical relevancies.

We give praise and glory to thy name.

Joe being super coy about **** that he once dismissed as fake news being revealed as real news is my favorite part of this thread.

This is saying the FDA found some data from 65+ year old people who had taken the newest vaccine that looked statistically significant, but then after further review it didn't?! I'm guessing "RR" means "relative risk", and that 1.0 is the mean so that anything above 1.0 would be a number more than average, or more than a population that didn't take the vaccine.

30 million is a lot of people to grab data from, and the initial numbers they list look pretty significant. But even so, it's better to take the shot? I don't get it.

Not being coy at all.

I had an opinion. Then, new facts appeared. As a result, my opinion changed.

That's how things are supposed to work.

it's more like despite ignoring VAERS data, this study found a "statistically significant" link they earlier dismissed.

We conducted weekly sequential testing and generated rate ratios (RR) of observed outcome rates compared to historical (or expected) rates prior to COVID-19 vaccination.
​​​​​​​ FDA strongly believes the potential benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the potential risks of COVID-19 infection. Per FDA communication of these findings, FDA is currently not taking any regulatory actions based on these signal detection activities because these signals are still under investigation and require more robust study.
I dunno why getting a vaccine that doesn't protect you, nor stop the spread, is better than getting: Acute Myocardial Infarction, Pulmonary Embolism, Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation, or Immune Thrombocytopenia.

Biden still out there lying about his family:

https://www.whitehouse.gov/briefing-...new-castle-de/

You know, I — my dad, when I got elected vice president, he said, ‘Joey, Uncle Frank fought in the Battle of the Bulge.’ He was not feeling very well now — not because of the Battle of the Bulge. But he said, ‘And he won the Purple Heart. And he never received it. He never — he never got it. Do you think you could help him get it? We’ll surprise him.’
​​​​​​​But the dates do not line up.

Biden was elected vice president in 2008.

President Biden’s uncle Frank Biden died in 1999, according to his obituary.

Biden’s father, Joe Biden Sr., died in 2002.

The president continued his story without correcting the dates.
​​​​​​​“So we got him the Purple Heart. He had won it in the Battle of the Bulge,” Biden said referring to him and his dad. “And I remember he came over to the house, and I came out, and he said, ‘Present it to him, okay?’ We had the family there.”

I said, ‘Uncle Frank, you won this. And I want to…’ He said, ‘I don’t want the damn thing.’ No, I’m serious. He said, ‘I don’t want it.’ I said, ‘What’s the matter, Uncle Frank? You earned it.’ He said, ‘Yeah, but the others died. The others died. I lived. I don’t want it.’
​​​​​​​It is unclear what about Biden’s story is true and what is not.

If Biden did somehow obtain a Purple Heart medal for his uncle, he would have done it as a senator, when both his father and uncle were alive.

But the details about Biden’s uncle who had “won” a Purple Heart, but never got the medal remains a mystery.

The New York Post investigated and found no record of Frank Biden getting awarded the Purple Heart and no mention of the medal was made in his obituary.

The White House did not respond to requests for comment.

Imagine if the FBI put half the effort they do in creating crime as they could in protecting america?

1000% agree. I watched Sergio Aguero celebrate Argentina's win yesterday with his buddy Lionel Messi. He no doubt would have been on the team if it wasn't for his "heart troubles."
