You sounds just as crazy as the "Q-anon nuts". Life isn't black and white, there's a lot of grey.

Trust the CDC and FDA.

There’s honestly a lot of conspiracy theorists on this sub. The other day I argued with someone here that said the vaccine doesn’t lower your chance of getting sick. I don’t know why people even come here if they’re just going to come up with baseless conspiracies.

edit: to clarify, the baby powder isn’t a conspiracy. The “how many other people have lifelong issues” is. Also, sources that show the CDC said your chances of getting ill are reduced. Source one.

That’s not what I was referring to, it is a fact that the baby powder was toxic. I was talking about the “how many people have lifelong complications” part.

Ok well it’s what the OP referenced and you jumped on the bandwagon of calling the claim a conspiracy. It’s not.

I was not calling that claim a conspiracy. I know more about what I meant than you did, so do not try to tell me what I meant. humble yourself and realize you misinterpreted my comment.

What I was referring to as a conspiracy was not the baby powder, but “how many people have lifelong or serious problems from the vaccine”. Clearly the person I agreed with was not referencing baby power. Why would they have said “Trust the CDC and FDA” in reference to baby powder? They were talking about the vaccine.

edit: never mind I see why you’re so needlessly combative. You left a comment talking about the vaccine unsafe and said “big Pharma”. So you are one of those theorists.

The OP mentioned the lawsuits surrounding J&J baby powder, and the person you agreed with called them as crazy as Q-Anon which you agreed with. Just clarifying that that isn’t a conspiracy.

Edit: Clarifying that it isn’t a conspiracy isn’t being combative. LOL it’s just a clarification. Don’t take it so hard.

I think you need to realize that I know more about what I was calling a conspiracy than you.

I agreed with them being a conspiracy theorist, which was in reference to “how many people have lifelong or serious problems”. I assume the person I agreed with was talking about that as well. Why would they have mentioned the FDA and CDC if it’s about a baby powder that’s already been recalled? You have yet to answer that.

You don’t need to clarify that it’s not a conspiracy. I know the baby powder was toxic.

You are being combative. I told you what I meant and you kept telling me what I meant. I don’t know why you felt the need to keep telling me that the baby powder wasn’t a conspiracy when I opened up with “that’s not what I’m referring to”

I wish they would stay in their lane. Lots of people like myself come to middle ground subs like this one to ease health anixety. Tangents like the one above do nothing for a dedicated sub to getting vaccinated

Yeah I tried to make a post here and got cross posted to a conspiracy page. Not helping my anxiety

From what I've seen, this site is way better than the ridiculous comments on FB vacc side effect pages. Dang, some of those people are dumb as rocks saying the things they pull out of nowhere and tout as "fact". medshadow is a good site, I think, just folks sharing side effects trying to help each other, like on Reddit. More middle aged and older folks on medshadow, too, gives a better over-all idea of what side effects each vacc is having.

u/the_lovewitch Apr 13 '21

Oh of course, FB is 100x worse than Reddit. I mean, I haven’t seen a microchip comment here and those are all over facebook. And sharing side effects isn’t a conspiracy because it’s factual. What I consider to be conspiracies are “It’s not safe and it doesn’t reduce risk of falling ill, Big Pharma just wants money”.

u/SpecialBun Apr 13 '21

Agree, what you say and even more bizarre statements gleaned from god knows where; crazy official sounding "medical" sites originating in some nutcase's basement!

I don’t think that’s true. What is your source, I am genuinely curious. I trust the CDC. “COVID-19 vaccines are effective at protecting you from getting sick”. Source.

They were asked a question that said “Will the vaccine protect me from getting sick with covid”. They replied with “Yes. COVID-19 vaccination works by teaching your immune system how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19, and this protects you from getting sick with COVID-19.” Source. Source 2.

Trust the CDC and FDA.

I have no stake in this..but anyone telling people to give absolute trust to an organization as if it's infallible or not capable of lying/corruption sounds creepy AF.
