The BMJ published an opinion. Opinions in journals aren’t peer reviewed. You need one of those before what you assume is the truth is actually the truth in scientific circles.
Again..how many millions have now had an mRNA vaccine and how many adverse effects have been reported?
Yes that’s true. We didn't have the time to wait for that though and we do have significant scientific resources to make very accurate predictions.
Using your example though all drugs would have to wait 10-15 years before they are finally sold before you’re sure. So in this case, that’s 10-15 years of continuous infections, with multiple variants and all the associated issues with that.
I think he was being facetious as the stories of the retirement party (attended by management) shutting down a shift at the sorting plant due to an outbreak made CP look pretty crap.

Fair enough.
We've had to go through a whole bunch of hoops since the first shutdown of the Gateway processing plant in Mississauga.
Serious pain in the butt on a daily basis.
What do you mean thought? How many million doses have they sold? A potential retraction in the future will be buried on page 20 and of no commercial consequence.

From 2000 to 2018, the cumulative revenue of companies in the pharmaceutical data set was $11.5 trillion, with gross profit of $8.6 trillion (74.5% of cumulative revenue), EBITDA of $3.7 trillion (32.2% of cumulative revenue), and net income of $1.9 trillion (16.2% of cumulative revenue)
Forgive me if I don't care that the difference means one less private jet, or kickback being paid out to a doctor or researcher. If it means past mistakes with trials are less likely to go through.

Opinions are not peer reviewed...they are just opinions. There are many more from very experienced and highly regarded scientists that say you should get vaccinated with whichever vaccine is available. Their opinions are backed up with the very observable and measurable evidence of countries getting back to normal the more their population is vaccinated.
So..you choosing one opinion over demonstrable facts is your bias.
That is very true. Hard numbers are not opinions, anymore then saying the sky is blue. Which is what makes the BMJ article less opinion, and simple fact that Pfizer hid data from their public facing study.
Leaked documents show that some early commercial batches of Pfizer-BioNTech’s covid-19 vaccine had lower than expected levels of intact mRNA, prompting wider questions about how to assess this novel vaccine platform, writes Serena Tinari As it conducted its analysis of the Pfizer-BioNTech...

EMA scientists tasked with ensuring manufacturing quality—the chemistry, manufacturing, and control aspects of Pfizer’s submission to the EMA—worried about “truncated and modified mRNA species present in the finished product.” Among the many files leaked to The BMJ, an email dated 23 November by a high ranking EMA official outlined a raft of issues. In short, commercial manufacturing was not producing vaccines to the specifications expected, and regulators were unsure of the implications. EMA responded by filing two “major objections” with Pfizer, along with a host of other questions it wanted addressed.
The email identified “a significant difference in % RNA integrity/truncated species” between the clinical batches and proposed commercial batches—from around 78% to 55%. The root cause was unknown and the impact of this loss of RNA integrity on safety and efficacy of the vaccine was “yet to be defined,” the email said.
You clearly have a working bias, to Pfizer or perhaps the whole industry. Willing to shill for them, and ignore things that don't suit your narrative of unrestricted access to sell drugs and let problems be damned.

Nope...but on my side there’s millions of citizens around the world vaccinated, countless ongoing clinical trials and observations, demonstrated science, normality returning, infection and death rates reducing, ICUs emptying, adverse events in any large numbers NOT present, all during arguably the most visible and monitored rollout of a vaccine in our entire history.
mRNA vaccines represent a promising alternative to conventional vaccine approaches, but their application has been hampered by instability and delivery issues. Here, Pardi and colleagues discuss recent advances in mRNA vaccine technology, assess mRNA vaccines currently in development for cancer...

In short..mRNA tech has been around since 2011 and has been tested in humans since then. There haven’t been any real adverse effects in those trials but what stopped the tech from being widely used were delivery issues. The active component required to elicit the immune response degraded too quickly to do its job. Encapsulation and other technological advances in delivery stopped this problem.

It doesn't look like any normality is returning for a very very long time, even with 40%+ of the population vaccinated already. There is talk the current lock down will be extended and talk of a "4th" wave incomming... every passing day the 2 week hotel quarantine in Australia is looking better and better to me considering the quality of life there afterwards, even with less then 10% of the population vaccinated

You're right...but we (general we...maybe not India) are approaching normality slowly...mainly as a exult of vaccination! Some countries are approaching it faster.
They turned away 387 people in a year and a single one was deported from the US? wtf. Some people need to get a life and stop wasting the courts time with such stupid lawsuits.

All these studies with these authors were for Acuitas and/or BioNTech and had their employees on hand. I'd post more but every other study on NIH listed them so after 6 of 12 the pattern is well enough established.
But absolutely no conflict of interest here... None what so ever. ?

That might be the biggest elephant in the covid room. On social media, no one, nada, nobody, not me, not you seem to understand how science works. Different priorities keep getting in the way.
