That was my first thought too.Rally excellent article Brendan.
We used to defer to priests, now it's a hodgepodge of celebrities and "professionals" who seem to think that being an expert in one field qualifies you to comment on another unrelated area.
People from all walks of like can go a bit nuts. I'm not saying that is the case with Dolores. I'm just making a general point that smart people are just as susceptible to hubris and narcissism and myopic self-delusion as the rest of us. Maybe more so.That was my first thought too.
But this isn't an unrelated area for her, she was more than just a GP\doctor\lecturer.
With her training and experience she should be better placed than the vast majority to understand and interpret the data.
What jumps out to me is how many of her claims had no foundation in data, or studies etc
People can be wrong for the right reasons i.e. a larger study contradicts a smaller one.
Right for the wrong reasons i.e. a guess turns out to be correct
Right for the right reasons.
And wrong for the wrong reasons, which is what we seem to have with Dolores Cahill.
The example of Linus Pauling cited in the article is a high profile case in point!People from all walks of like can go a bit nuts. I'm not saying that is the case with Dolores. I'm just making a general point that smart people are just as susceptible to hubris and narcissism and myopic self-delusion as the rest of us. Maybe more so.
Have you a link to that?Why are we vaccinating kids with a 1/16000 chance of myocarditis
Yes, that's exactly what it's like.Why should we give booster shots when much of the developing world has had none ? Is that not immoral. As Mike Ryan said in recent days like having two life jackets when others have none ??
She's making stuff up and telling lies that are dangerous and will get people killed.What has she done or said wrong exactly ?
Read from the same publication.Suggest you check out the journal article by Dionne A et al in the August edition of JAMA cardiology ( a reputable publication).
Very hard to follow this. Maybe break up the text a bit?It also concludes that the long term outcome of patients with this vaccine induced myocarditis is unclear. How many kids get serious COVID ? In Ireland the maximum number of hospitalised COVID positive children that I have seen is three on any given day. It is very often 0 or 1. There are quite a number of young people presenting with vaccine serious adverse effects enough to write up in reviews like this, there are also other cohorts only recently published. As I said it takes time to get peer reviewed and published. From a medical perspective damaged myocardium cannot repair itself. It leaves behind a scar. That equates to a reduced life expectancy. It would be very unusual for a medicine that causes this side effect in children/young adults to be left on the market unchanged, IMO. Despite the remarkable impetus behind the vaccine strategy the long term data are still outstanding and it is only with a long passage of time that the full list of adverse effects will be elucidated. Immunity is dropping quickly after 6 months yet the language is vaccine ‘breakthrough’ not failure. Like it or not it’s production was rushed bypassing the usual safety protocols. Details on pharmacokinetics / biodistribution are unclear to me. Can anyone answer how long the mRNA remains in the body producing spike proteins for instance ? Does it vary between individuals ? There are many well qualified experts online with cautious views. Some respected Drs are banned from YouTube and Facebook despite their immunology/vaccinology/ICU experience/ qualifications/ lack of vested interest etc. Social media is nowadays telling us who is right and who is wrong. The Taliban are allowed on Twitter but Trump is banned. Strange times we are living in.
We'd be veering into a medical discussion but a few minutes on Google will show that the concerns are largely unfounded and that vaccinating children is to protect other people as much or more that to protect the children.Very hard to follow this. Maybe break up the text a bit?
If you can't confirm it don't post it especially when it could easily be scurrilous nonsense.I gather there has been a death this week of a young 23 year old gentleman reportedly after a vaccine in Ireland. I haven't seen it reported on mainstream media yet, so cannot confirm (?why). If that has happened then that is a catastrophe for him and his family. The roll out of the vaccine in the young cohort should be at least reviewed urgently with a view to doing no further harm. All IMO.
