My dad had GBS shortly after getting his second Covid dose. I understand correlation doesn't equal causation but GBS is rare and people don't usually get it twice. He recovered from GBS in the early 2000s.
That's all well and good but some people don't recover from it.
I know someone who has dealt with the partial paralysis for over 30 years.

Some people die from it.
I know of a retired 70 yr old RN who got a seasonal flu shot.
She was in ICU shortly thereafter on a respirator.
Her family had to let her go peacefully.

Hope this helps.

Here's the deal fellas, there are plenty of reasons to distrust established sources of information. Many of us have figured this out, and there is a growing market out there for reliable information sources. A lot of people haven't caught on, or are just now realizing. Being late to the party can be a little disorienting, so let's be nice to the uninitiated and newly initiated. We all had to wake up sometime.

I just read about a healthy 24year old man who just got a double lung transplant after catching COVID. Wishes he had just gotten the vaccine like the rest of his family did.
Hope this helps.

Good to see someone else jump on the DuckDuckGo bandwagon!!

Wait DuckDuckGo has a billboard?!!?!? Totally legit then my bad gentlemen lol.
We can joke around about whether or not duckduckgo is legit, but the fact is: Google searches show you what they want you to see, not what you are searching for. I discovered this firsthand when searching for resources opposing mask mandates. I'd search for "masks make me feel bad" or "I won't wear a mask".... and page after page of results were articles telling me why masks are good and people who don't want to wear masks are bad. I spent hours scrolling, trying to find anyone, anyone who agreed with me. With DuckDuckGo, I get results I am happier with. They actually show me what I am searching for.

Also, google actively censors YouTube vids, banning users who dare to challenge the groupthink.

Google will repeat the same few results for page after page. Good luck finding something that isn't on their approved list.

People want to believe that any single source of information can be complete and viable. Many are unable to even discount or question their preferred source of media due to blind faith. I don't take any single source at full value, and question the validity of both sides of this argument.

The fact is, there are a small handful of people that decide what you hear when it comes to mainstream media. The short film "Out of Shadows" from Mike Smith discusses this. I know, there is a ton of weird conspiracy q-anon type :censored2: in there, I get it, but if you can decipher information and not discount the whole because of the odd conspiracy claims, it explains the narrow breadth of information offered in mainstream media quite well.

According to the anti vaxxers the only facts you can believe are the ones you get from DuckDuckGo because they have a billboard. Lol.
No offense man but you literally just sound like a walking stereotype. You say the one scientist is a quack. That's not true. You say the doctor who invented the MRNA vaccine is not real or the page is real and he didn't actually do it. We provide you proof and evidence and you just don't want to take that head out of the sand do you? These are simply facts that are stated.

If you have an argument for the vaccine than state it. But instead you just do what everyone with your mindset does, try to shoot it down with simple statements that try to demean or make people who do real research look stupid. Whether you like it or not, these doctors and scientists are legit, qualified, and give startling evidence based on science and studies on how the vaccine may be dangerous and hey, maybe we should wait for a while before all jumping off the cliff.

Duckduckgo is just a search engine. It's a fact that google censors and duckduckgo does not. That doesn't mean that everything you find on there is legit, but it also allows a full conversation based on differing viewpoints as opposed to state sponsored approved narratives. You just look small minded. Take the vaccine if you want. I don't care if people do or don't. I just don't think it's appropriate to force it onto everybody with all of the massive science against it at this time.

Duckduckgo Is mostly known for protecting users privacy. Its search results aren't that different but you will see more variety in the results.
