Rumors have been swirling for a while that the vaccines lowered your immune systems capabilities over the long term so this doesn't surprise me.

Welcome to 2022 and the modern internet.

Rumors have been swirling for a while that the moon is made out of cheese, a pizza parlour without a basement has kids locked up in it, and that you may have already won 1 million dollars.

Your comment is best-case completely meaningless, worst case actively stirring up trouble. Cut it the fuck out.

To all of you responding, all I said was there were rumors. I didn't say they were true.

Here's an article debunking the rumors from December 2021: https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-coronavirus-britai...

So there have been rumors. That's a fact.

Reuters is not a credible source, even if they’re right in this case. Leave peer review to peers, in journals where it belongs. Reuters is just another USA Today at this point. They should not be the arbiters of what constitutes valid science. We have scientists and a thing called The Scientific Process. It’s not something to discard out of fear or political anxiety. Another lesson, like inflation, we’re all going to have to suffer through because our elite ruling class didn’t do their homework.

If you know anyone who works in research and academia, they will be the first ones to tell you that research has been completely hijacked since their conclusions have to meet certain expectations if they want to continue receiving funding. I know many professors who complain about this.

The scientific process has been corrupted by money.

Rumors backed by legitimate data, data that didn't wasn't generated during clinical trials because it wasn't looked for; arguably because the trials were purposefully designed to be inadequate - multiple proof points to support this argument.
