Health Canada cites “promising real-world” evidence to approve AZ vax

So suddenly we don’t need long-term randomized double-blind studies for vaccines, but we do for repurposing a proven safe cheap drug like ivermectin?

Speaking at a technical briefing today, Dr. Supriya Sharma, Health Canada’s chief medical adviser, conceded there was limited clinical trial data about the efficacy of the shot in people over the age of 65 but said regulators approved it because of “promising evidence from real-world use of the vaccine.”

Sometimes I feel like Im one of the only people in the world who sees the absurdity of taking an untested vaccine, rolled out at “warp speed”, which the drug companies have secured full indemnity against lawsuits… in order to protect a virus that kills .03% of the people infected??

The vaccine itself may have a higher death rate than the virus. Common sense, anyone?

yes well my post was ironic. Here in Canada the vaccine rollout is like people are welcoming the Second Coming of Christ.

Yeah , real world empirical evidence doesnt mean jack to even allow mind endorse or approve am already approved drug  for something that can kill people..  But somehow an unproven untested, never used before biological agent is ok , because of promise?  wtf..  I cant even look at these people that are so evil without wanting my eyes to burn holes in them.
