I will dig into everything as much as I can possible to get to the best conclusion. I can't always go as deep as I would like because it gets to a point where obviously I'm not a doctor, so I can't verify if a single doctor is telling the truth on a matter for example. However, if you have a doctor saying something and virtually every other doctor in the world agrees with them, there's a high certainty that doctor isn't lying, making things up etc.
I'm not going to even comment (in a discussion way) on the Dr Wakefield thing. It's public knowledge that his findings weren't replicable, false and misleading. His findings still haven't been replicated to this day. From when I looked into him about a year or so ago, it appears that him being barred from practising medicine in the UK, was a wise decision.
The whole "US gov has paid out tens or maybe now hundreds of millions of dollars in compensation thing" and that meaning there's truth behind a link, is a full on conspiracy theory also. While these payments do happen, if you investigate why it's done, it makes perfect and reasonable sense. It sounds bad until you dig into it and understand the reason.
Just agreeing to part ways and hand over money with no blame happens all the time. It's a common practise and there's not a conspiracy theory in those cases. It's simple maths or a simple decision, even if the outcome isn't what you were going for. A company getting sued that will cost them millions to defend (when they've done nothing wrong) is always going to be happy to just settle and walk away for £20,000 because it would cost them more than than to defend themselves.
Do you not know that companies who make vaccines can't be sued? They are the only industry that can't. Governments protect them...but that doesn't stop them from being liable...it just means that the companies don't lose. Tax payers do. But not as much as the vaccine injured.
And the governments accept the liability - and pay out. Not their money is it.
No wonder pharmaceutical companies are some of the biggest sponsors of politicians.
Any covid-19 fact you want to put forward for analysis?
