BrianW Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 I didn't realize how much Pfizer's Groton CT location was involved in the vaccine. Its their largest research facility according to this article. Had no clue they employ 2600 and have been manufacturing the lipids for the vaccine. https://www.theday.com/article/20210313/NWS01/210319722 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forget...right on 93 had a lot to do with it. And Moderna of course is from Cambridge and the J&J vax was largely done in Mass as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And to put a sinister spin on it like this wasn’t supposed to happen. People who do get the breakthrough almost never get sick enough to require hospitalization. My uncle is in his late 60s and said he has a stuffy nose, that’s it. That’s what it’s supposed to do to. If you get infected, it’s very mild. To me, the vaccine did its job.

Unless there are some peer reviewed studies with hardcore statistics that is a crock of crap. Numerous stories of people calling hotlines for help and not being able to get help and ending up taking their lives. Hell for those who had been doing meetings (such as AA, or psychologists, therapists, etc) there were no in-person meetings (obviously across some parts of the country where restrictions were less there were), or it was impossible to get a meeting. for those with mental health conditions this has been absolute hell and torture. I can't find the article but in CT more children committed suicide in just the month on November 2020 than all of 2019. When the stats come out its going to be alarming. Another article said 40 children are waiting everyday to get iinto the Yale Psychiatric Children's hospital with sever mental issues including suicide. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fujiwara79 Posted April 23, 2021 Share Posted April 23, 2021 3 hours ago, White Rain said: Who created this narrative in your view and what does it mean? Should we encourage lock downs in pandemics to decrease suicide rates? Locking people in their homes is good for their health? FWIW, increased suicides from the pandemic was the prevailing view from medical experts, not some conspiracy theory. the narrative was created by some of your fellow posters in this thread and others. ask them. this is what they predicted. they said people would be jumping off buildings because dine-in wasn't available at denny's. i always thought that was laughable but now the data backs me up.
