COVID-19 Vaccines: "Benefits Outweigh The Known Risks" Sounds Like A Magical Concoction Of A Snake Oil Seller?



"The authority’s assessment is that the benefits of the vaccines continue to outweigh the known risks in a pandemic."

1. Assessment is not conviction and belief. Assessment is just an analysis based on available information and it is purely a mathematical calculation. Nothing else. It is not based on considerations of human sufferings, damages to human health and potential deaths, irrespective of statistical percentage of damages occurred in a given population.

2. To the vaccines producers, of course, it goes without saying, the benefits outweigh the risks. The benefits to the vaccines producers are huge monetary gains on a regular basis, without any risk.

3. The risks are borne by the victims of the effects from the vaccines. The vaccines producers do not and will not suffer any risk because they have protected themselves against any liability and claims for compensation by inclusion of a clause to absolve themselves of any responsibility and liability for mishaps caused by the vaccines that they have produced and sold.

4. To the government, of course, the benefits outweigh the risks because the government does not suffer the risks. Anyone taking the vaccination is made to sign a no-claims indemnity form to absolve the government of any responsibility and liability from any mishap, neglect or mistake.

5. The assessment is that the "benefits outweigh the known risks". Pay special attention to the word "KNOWN". It means the assessment has not considered the UNKNOWN but potential, probable and possible risks. Therefore, the benefits may not outweigh the potential, probable and possible risks. These are long-term risks that only time will tell. At present, nobody is the wiser. Not even the scientists who invented or created those vaccines, because they have not tested the vaccines for long-term effects yet. So, basically, the assessment by the government is an ostrich mentality assessment of convenience, at best.

6. So, basically the phrase "benefits outweigh the known risks in a pandemic" sounds more like a magical concoction of a snake oil seller.

Think again.

PS.  I am putting this up first as this is a current hot topic. Still have several pieces in the queue.

To the victims, the risks outweigh the benefits.

In fact, the vaccine and vaccination become of no benefit at all if the victim dies as a result of the effects of the vaccines.

SSO said...

If the child dies as a result of the vaccination, then the vaccine is not only of no benefit but also harmful and dangerous.

So basically, benefit or risk must be looked at from different perspectives.

To some there may be benefits. To some, it may or may not be beneficial. Yet to some others the vaccines may be detrimental to their health and/or life.

That means one shoe cannot fit all. It may fit the majority but may not fit all. It's a matter of individual physical conditions, bodily chemical reactions and LUCK!

The Experts Committee should have realised that. The government should have known that. Not having thought of the variables is no excuse.

Not that propaganda? Don't fxxking bullshit. That is a clear sign of Western (especially US and UK) signature of smearing and demonising campaigns against China. That is propaganda alright!

Western propaganda always starts with leak documents which can never be verified nor proved. Because the reason given is "LEAK" the source has to be "PROTECTED". Therefore, no one else is able to prove that is true.

How cunning and slimy!

Thailand is full of Western spies, especially CIA agents and SEAL teams, using Thailand as base to infiltrate into Myanmar to provide weapons supply and logistics to the US created, organised and trained Myanmese Opposition militia in the jungle Myanmar bordering Thailand.

RB,

please stop that falsehood from using your blog platform to smear China.

Delete it immediately.

The Truth About Sinovac Vaccine

China's Sinovac Vaccine has proven itself in Singapore to have much less side-effects than the mRNA vaccines produced by Western countries and promoted by Western propaganda.

As of 3 July (Saturday), more than 17,200 people of Singapore have taken the first jab of the Sinovac vaccine and there has been only two cases of reactions to the Chinese vaccine after one week. Both of these cases only developed rashes, which is not serious. This was revealed by the Health Minister in Parliament on Monday, 5 July.

That means the Chinese vaccine is more superior than the Western vaccines that use the new, experimental and questionable mRNA technology.

The big question now is:

What good reason does the Experts Committee has that it failed to recommend the Sinovac vaccine for inclusion into the National Vaccination Program, other than political reason or incompetence?

Three cheers for Sinovac vaccine!

Opening up the economy for monetary benefits does not outweigh the risk of taking human lives on the excuse that it can happen to 0.5% of people only. Even that 0.5% is suspicious because the figures can be massaged and manipulated.

Statistics don't lie but most people who use statistics always do! They never failed!

Hey, Moron! It is only an opinion piece, not evidence. Such opinions do not warrant to think deeper. You must be an idiot to ask others to think even deeper based on an opinion. It is not even your own opinion. That shows you are really desperate.

=======================///

This is the signature of MATILAH the CIA-Australian SPY operating in Singapore and Australia.

He always provides a link to a pro-US propaganda news outlet such as the Bangkok Post.

His job is to prowl and search the whole world for any little bits of news or opinions that he can twist and use to smear China and anything Chinese.

He is one of the arch enemies of the Chinese Civilisation and Chinese People around the World.

RB, better delete everything he posted. Thanks.

COVID 19 : "Why Variants will defeat Vaccines"

WHAT’S THE SOLUTION ? THE ANSWER IS SIMPLE!

The Answer is very simple. This is the Clash of 2 Ecosystems. Human Beings CANNOT encroach on the Animal Ecosytem. Period. Deadly Pandemics Occur.

- Respect the Population Nature Equilibrium. Limits for Population Growth.

- Why Vegetarianism ? : Start with prohibiting eating of Wild Animals (Bears, Leopards, Flying Foxes, Civets,Pangolin). This is Phase 1. Phase 3 is banning the consumption of Cattle, Pork & Chicken as well. Move to a Diet of “Vegetarianism & Lab Based Meat”. Human Beings cannot encroach on the Animal Ecosystem. Different Ecosystems. Obey the Design of Life. Period.

- Also, ALWAYS REMEMBER, the Design of Human Beings is VEGETARIAN. Carnivores have Canine Teeth, much larger Kidneys, Higher levels of Hydrochloric Acid. Herbivores & Human Beings have much larger Intestines.

Everybody talking about CECA


[This is a good satirical poem by Leong Tze Hian, published in the TRE, the man who got sued by the PM for posting a link on his Facebook page, and paid the PM the full amount of award by the court with public donations. It is clear he refuses to be silenced by powerful people. Neither should we.]

Riady Anti China really?

FINDINGS LINK CLINTON ALLIES TO CHINESE INTELLIGENCE

The report describes what it calls "strong circumstantial evidence" that six individuals with strong ties to the Chinese, including the Riadys, may have funneled foreign money into political campaigns during the 1996 U.S. election cycle.

The Riadys have been known to have donated to the Clinton campaign. Whether they are pro or anti China, not confirmed.

What is sure is that anyone looking Chinese would be accused as a spy for China by the Americans. The anti China and hate Chinese Americans have nothing good to say about anyone that looks Chinese or is Chinese by ethnicity.
