I have a worry that they could go as far as censoring side-effects. What if, god forbid, 5% of people get seizures, or become sterile, or just die? Will that be 'misinformation' as well?

I'll just assume that their definition of "misinformation" will be anything that goes against their narrative.

There's too much money to be made off a new vaccine to let silly little things, like testing for side-effects get in the way. It's why they totally spazzed out about hydroxychloroquine & zinc. The drug I'm not entirely sure I spelled right, is a generic that's been around since the 30's. That means it's dirt cheap for anyone to produce, and would make their fancy new vaccine moot.

You think they will make them mandatory in US?

The government? No.

Our corporate overlords? Probably

Yeah, the government has all these constraints, but if all the government-subsidized corporate giants just all agree to do no business unless you have your Freedom Loicense, they get the same effect.

It was a nice 200 some odd years give or take for a Republic. I'm to the point that if the Rubicon must be crossed I much rather it be Trump...

The President doesn't have the authority to mandate vaccines, but that won't stop Democrats from trying if they get away with their treason.

If they can't somehow blame Trump for the sideeffects you can bet your ass that's misinformation.

I'm not saying this is true, but I heard it has a chance of causing birth defects in children if the mother has the vaccine. Regardless of what the side effects will truly be, if you don't have any serious health conditions and are under the age of like 60, stay the fuck away from these vaccines. We have no idea what the long term side effects will actually be

The simple, obvious answer is that they have no way of knowing for sure, and can only infer from knowledge prior vaccines that it's probably safe in 99+% of people.

Yeah, because all these prior vaccinations all came to the market a mere 10 months after the disease was discovered. No, they also weren't thoroughly tested in years of clinical trials. There's no difference between this vaccine and those that became for it.

I am totally sure that the fact checkers at facebook are in total possession of all the real, verified and reproducible scitific data about these vaccines.

Honk honk.

Isn’t it great that a tiny handful of people get to decide what is “misinformation”, and no one is able to investigate their claims? That there are zero people who watch what they’re actually doing in their research? I’m sure that this small group of people who lean heavily left are completely unbiased and have zero ulterior motives.
