I've seen a video talking about the leaked Facebook files where it says they should remove true information about side effects. It says Facebook should remove:

True information:

a. Delta: The Surgeon General wants us to remove true information about side effects.

Why do you think people should or shouldn't know about the side effects of the COVID vaccine?

There are people questioning the veracity of the quote so I've searched a bit and found some sources.

No one is talking about the deceased. As long as I know the side effects include myocarditis in 1 out of 35 people vaccinated, so if someone dies of it, it wouldn't automatically be attributed to the vaccine, specially with the US censoring the relation between vaccine and side effects.

Myocardial Injury after COVID-19 mRNA-1273 Booster Vaccination

But I found the paper in a Rumble video so I guess that makes it misinformation right @Veraticus@lib.lgbt ? Or is it just when you disagree with it?

From your link:

mRNA-1273 booster vaccination-associated elevation of markers of myocardial injury occurred in about one out of 35 persons(2.8%), a greater incidence than estimated in meta-analyses of hospitalized cases with myocarditis (estimated incidence 0.0035%) after the second vaccination.14,15 Elevated hs-cTnT was independent of previous COVID infection or the interval since the last vaccine dose. Among the overall group of participants, hs-cTnT concentration on day 3 after mRNA-1273 booster vaccination as a continuous variable, was significantly higher compared to a well-matched control cohort. Second, all cases were mild with only a transient and short period of myocardial injury (maximum hs-cTnT concentration 35ng/L).

It goes on to say:

Thus, for the majority of individuals, the overall very favorable risk-benefit ratio of booster immunizations persists.

The concluding paragraph:

In conclusion, using active surveillance, mRNA-1273 vaccine-associated mild transient myocardial injury was found to be much more common than previously thought. It occurred in one out of 35 persons, was mild and transient, and more frequent in women versus men. Neither anti-IL-1RA, nor pre-existing vaccine/infection-induced immunity or systemic inflammation seemed to be dominant mechanisms of myocardial injury. No participant developed MACE within 30-day

MACE stands for "Major adverse cardiac events"

I'm not sure what your angle is/was, but the study sounds like it's not really a big deal at all, compared to the adverse effects of getting COVID without the jab. It's only interesting from a medical study standpoint.

My angle is that the US government wants to censor even this type of information just for pointing at side effects, and people should be pissed but they just don't seem to care, and I'm wondering why they don't care about the US censoring this information.

Ignore OP, he's arguing in bad faith and refuses to see any other valid points against his opinion.

The vaccine compared to all other vaccines is a negligible difference. Plus op is ignoring the insane amount of people covid did kill.

@Veritas your link does not quite say what you think it says/were told it says. Here's what it says:

  • 2.8 percent of people in the study had mild myocardial effects (that's your one in 35)

  • most of them were women

  • the effects were shortlived, "mild and transient"

  • none of them even had any ECG changes

  • none of them had any adverse cardiac event

Here's a link to the actual published paper which is easier to read in browsers and carries more weight.

This is freely available information and I wish more media did cover it in a responsible manner, because this data supports that the vaccine is quite safe - we see the same thing in the larger cohort studies.

Unfortunately what we have in many western countries is a "dumbed down" populace that consumes childish media stories with very little information in them.

Good point! Manufacturers of meds, everyone in the supply chain there would have to know so they'd be able to produce more. This is good I was wondering how the supply chain fit in. Truckers suddenly supplying more medication secretly under the cover of night, this all makes sense, this is good keep me going. Who else knows that haven't told us yet?

[–] Veritas@lemmy.ml 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Well if the mainstream media knew they wouldn't tell you either since they just go along with the government public statements.

The US propaganda machine explained

Insurance of course! Think of all the extra hospital bills that they're paying out. Of course they would all be in on it which means that HR an employer is mostly are too because they have to pay for the extra sick time and the extra insurance premiums!
