The gaggle of rushed-to-market #covd19#vaccines constitute unprecedented mass human medical exeperimentation.
UK Medicines and Healthcare Regulatory Authority (MHRA) is "urgently seekimg an Artificial Intelligence (AI) software tool to process *the expected high volume of Covid-19 vaccine Adverse Drug Reaction (ADRs)*."
Because "its planned procurement process for the SafetyConnect programme..would not have concluded by vaccine launch" (i.e., safety testing was rushed and skipped), MHRA is concerned about the "direct threat to patient life and public health" from these ADRS.
As Christine Stabell Benn @StabellBenn--a real, honest, enthusiastically *pro-vaccine* scientist--says: “Nobody ever proved that vaccines only have protective effects. And we’ve been accumulating data for 25 years showing that vaccines have important non-specific effects.
Yet the world only focusses on the protective effects." & "All vaccines may have wide non-specific effects on the immune system that we do not yet understand and that we must be encouraged to study without any pre-determination of results, or any fear of what the results are."
*That’s* scienrific thinking, and it's especially relevant for vaccines that have not undergone a single year of study, esp when prevous attempts at coronavirus vaccines have been notorious failures. (Please, please, watch her talk. )
So, if one wants to participate in this mass human experimentaion, go ahead, but do not try to force everyone to do it.
Despite Pharma's constant attempt to get you to ignore it, everyone who is aware of history and respectful of science & human rights should uphold the essential principle of the Universal Declaration on Bioethics & Human Rights (that @StabellBenn often cites):
"Any preventive.. intervention is only to be carried out with the prior, free & informed consent of the person concerned, based on adequate information.’"
First, his cancellation of the attack on Iran. Now this. If Senate Rs start turning against #Trump on #impeachment, it's b/c of THIS--because he's not a reliable enough trigger-puller for the neocon warmongers of both parties. #Syria#impeachment#Turkey nytimes.com/2019/10/07/us/…
Of course, even he can't get completely out of the neocon grip. Note that US troops r NOT being withdrawn from #Syria, only "pulled back." i.e., they won't fight a Turkish invasion, but will be there as tripwire should gov of Syria try to take back control of its own territory.
Because the #Kurds, now seeing what fools they were to ally with the US, will now likely negotiate a resolution with #Syria which they would much prefer to Turkish occupation.
@DougHenwood@katiecannon2@srlie True that MMT does not explain the production and appropriation of *value*. It's an explanation of how *money* works. But that's a lot, since money--esp fiat currency--is a very powerful tool & is the primary expression of value in capitalist society.
@DougHenwood@katiecannon2@srlie Why fiat currency has been and will be used in reactionary ways until and unless we learn to use it in progressive ways--as something that is social and political in origin.
@DougHenwood@katiecannon2@srlie They are using it to fund wars & enable banksters profits & speculation. We have to use it as a social utility that enables producing what we consider necessary & valued goods & services. And we can! What's stopping us is political, not economic. MMT makes that visible.
