"The Biggest Unanswered Questions About a Covid-19 Vaccine" Topic

"A vaccine for the coronavirus that causes covid-19 appears to be our best strategy to ending the current pandemic. Unfortunately, the fastest time frame in which scientists have managed to create any vaccine in history was four years, and there's already plenty of skepticism surrounding the safety, availability, and effectiveness of any future covid-19 inoculation. So let's go over the most pressing questions.

Scientists around the world have collectively made leaps and bounds in developing potential vaccines against SARS-CoV-2, the coronavirus that causes the disease covid-19. The typical vaccine candidate takes years of research before it reaches clinical trials, while there are now at least three dozen covid-19 candidates that are in Phase I or further in the three-phase process…."

As long as I have bleach, hydroxychloroquine, oil of oleander and My Pillow, I don't need no stinking vaccine.
Take that, demon sperm! Hah!

Shhhh, please keep quiet about hydroxychloroquine, says the people who are about to make BILLIONS $$$$ on this vaccine.

I would not leave out the Vit C and zinc.

Especially since Bill Gates patented the virus.

You already tired to flog that baseless conspiracy theory on 12 May 2020 7:11 p.m. PST and you uttery stepped on the rake. TMP link

Pass me the Kool-Aid.

You already tired [sic] to flog that baseless conspiracy theory and you uttery stepped on the rake.

Martin, why is it, especially after all the troubles Bill, the editors, advertisers, members have gone through regarding the allegations of TMP being a "toxic" environment, you continue with personal attacks?

Just how many times does someone have to go to the dawg house before they learn?

I don't call TMP a "toxic" website, just tell people looking for hobby news to ignore (turn off) everything else.

You're starting to sound like a certain head of state that treats fact checks as personal slights. Nothing I've written is predicated on the existence of wmeyers – but rather a refutation of the claims made by wmeyers, and thus not a personal attack.

While we're on the subject of conspiracy theories begetting more conspiracy theories…

Dead and Alive: Beliefs in Contradictory Conspiracy Theories

Abstract

Conspiracy theories can form a monological belief system: A self-sustaining worldview comprised of a network of mutually supportive beliefs. The present research shows that even mutually incompatible conspiracy theories are positively correlated in endorsement. In Study 1 (n = 137), the more participants believed that Princess Diana faked her own death, the more they believed that she was murdered. In Study 2 (n = 102), the more participants believed that Osama Bin Laden was already dead when U.S. special forces raided his compound in Pakistan, the more they believed he is still alive. Hierarchical regression models showed that mutually incompatible conspiracy theories are positively associated because both are associated with the view that the authorities are engaged in a cover-up (Study 2). The monological nature of conspiracy belief appears to be driven not by conspiracy theories directly supporting one another but by broader beliefs supporting conspiracy theories in general.

Martin, if you really don't think the way you communicate with people who you don't think share your own personal world view, that's another issue.
