My, Vinay Prashad talks fast. You have a point about American accents - some are better than others (to my ears).

Agree with you on all points re mandatory vax .. long term effects etc.

I recall discussing use of VAERS data short while back and Sinister clobbered it using a source that completely disagrees using this data after Vinay produced a little graphic that showed that myocarditis was 4x worse after second dose mRNA than covid for 12-17 old. I located an NIH (Oxford Uni) study thereafter, which independently (to VAERS) got more or less identical data. Game set and match : ).

My kid got covid 5 days ago (and it's still infectious!). The effects are very very mild for him. Btw, talking to him on Facetime : ). Naturally, I am worried if there will be any long term effects, but am hopeful. Slight temperature 1st day, some cough - no problem with the sense of smell. Milder than some common colds I've seen. His parents are still dodging the bug : ).
