Claire’s analysis is instructive as it addresses and counters the content of the anti-vax argument. Few journalists do this, as msm simply dismisses with condescending label - “those Q-Anon freaks”. Concurrent with need for individuals to intelligently weigh evidence is the need for self-discipline within institutions (science and data). I find it tragic that critical institution knowledge legitimate in it’s own right, becomes stigmatized due to institutional posturing in social justice.
Claire’s article is the perfect refutation of the nonsense peddled by the anti-vaccination crowd.
The suggestion that spike protein is toxic is crazy. Humans have been exposed to spike protein which decorates all corona viruses for thousands of years: long before SARS-CoV-2 made its ugly appearance.
The common cold in humans is caused by hundreds of viruses including four viruses in the corona family. All corona viruses use spike protein to gain passages through the cell membrane. If spike protein was toxic we would have suffered long term consequences from exposure to the corona viruses which cause colds. Almost 80 percent of human adults have been exposed to all four corona cold viruses with no long term ill effect from contact with spike protein.
Alpha and beta corona viruses (of which SARS-CoV-2 is a member) are ubiquitous in mammals. Different mammalian species become ill from some of these viruses but not others. Dogs, cats, cattle and many other animals become sick from corona viruses that do not make human beings ill. But the fact that we don’t become ill from these particular corona viruses doesn’t mean we’re not exposed to them. Like all corona viruses, the ones that make animals but not humans ill are decorated with spike protein. If spike protein was toxic there would be consequences to this exposure; there aren’t.
As for mistrust of Pharma, there is simply no better proof of the superiority of the capitalist system then the success of this industry. The number of human diseases conquered or ameliorated by the pharmaceutical industry is too numerous to mention. There is probably not another industry that has alleviated more human suffering than Pharma. There is a good chance that anyone over 50 who is reading these words is alive only because of some form of pharmaceutical intervention. We should be on our hands and knees expressing gratitude for the miracles that the pharmaceutical industry has made possible.
What makes these miraculous pharmaceutical innovations possible?

It’s called capitalism.
