Shilling For Bobby Jr -- Digby
https://digbysblog.net/2025/05/15/shilling-for-bobby-jr/The tell is trumpian: "Many, many people now think..."
Even I understand that the rRNA technologies have enabled more progress in combating diseases in the last few years than have been achieved for many before.
Our new head of NIH Jay Bhattacharya:
Bobby wants to ban it, so this guy, who clearly knows that mRNA is offering unimagined breakthroughs (most recently in what may be a cure for pancreatic cancer) is playing to the conspiracy crowd instead of simply saying that people are misinformed. He even passed on that “young men with myocarditis” bullshit pushed by that quack Lodopo in Florida. (Yes, there are incidents of myocarditis from the vaccine — there are also incidents of side effects from every single medicine on the market . Haven’t we all seen the endless list of them in the commercials?)
I don’t recall anyone saying the vaccines would completely protect you from COVID but if there were those who did, we quickly came to understand that you could still get it but you wouldn’t die which was everyone’s greatest fear.
Some people were just defiant about everything having to do with COVID from masks, to closures, to social distancing and vaccines. That had nothing to do with “mRNA platform.” Only the most dedicated conspiracy theorists have even heard that it’s dangerous. I’d imagine most people have only the vaguest idea of what it is.
He’s saying that the public doesn’t want mRNA because the health agencies ruined everything by pushing the vaccines. No, the conspiracy theorists and political opportunists ruined everything by turning it into a political football. But that’s par for the course with our new health and science institutions. Why wouldn’t it be? We have a brainworm-riddled freakshow running the whole show.
Many, many people now think that mRNA is a bad platform. And I think that it’s really that government pressure which violated the informed consent rights of so many to take the vaccine. There was the promise that you wouldn’t get Covid if you are vaccinated, but then of course, it didn’t stop you from getting Covid.
Those things together made the mRNA platform a difficult platform to use from a pure, wide-scale public health perspective going forward. The manufacturers are going to have to find some way to address that widespread public skepticism about the platform.
