A speaker argues medical interventions should rely on transparent data, not force or gaslighting, and questions the phrase "safe and effective" for new products. Gary Brecka emphasizes the absence of long-term safety data for new vaccines and criticizes waiving safety trials as removing a crucial protection.
I'm not against creating a new product because you might need it and it might save your life. That's fine. The forcing and the gaslighting and the telling people that you require to do something, that's where we have a problem. That's what needs to be out of medicine. You don't need to force people to do things. You have to convince them to take it based on the research and the data. All of this forcing is pushing people the other way. We have the highest amounts of exemptions requests, the lowest vaccine rates ever that we've had in modern history. So everything's going in the wrong direction. And when you say things with a new product, Like safe and effective. It's a ridiculous thing to say because you don't know that because it's new. You could say reasonably, based on the research that we have so far, the benefits seem to outweigh the known risks in the short term. So we recommend it. You can have it. You want to take it? You think it saves your life? Great. Go for it.
We don't have the long-term data. And that was one of my issues with just basically waiving the safety trial. It's not speeding up the deployment of the vaccine. It's just waiving what was put there as a failsafe to protect humanity.
