"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.
