An Alaska nurse received the first dose of the Pfizer vaccine and immediately went into anaphylactic shock. I have a very bad feeling that the public isn’t being sufficiently informed about this extremely alarming risk:
“The patient was treated for anaphylactic shock, with first one, then a second dose of epinephrine, before being put on an epinephrine drip and steroids, a standard treatment for anaphylactic shock, Jones said. The patient also received antihistamines. The patient had no history of allergic reactions to vaccines before this, said BRH spokesperson Katie Bausler in an email.”
One point about vaccines that doesn’t get nearly enough attention: the way in which we discuss vaccines is completely different from the way in which we discuss any other medical procedure. If I question the safety of Tylenol, I’m not accused of being “anti-Tylenol”. If I point out various side-effects of any other drug or medication, I’m not accused of being anti-Science.
But with vaccines, it’s a different story. People are holding up vaccines as almost an object of worship, hence the strange absolutist language surrounding this medical procedure. Why are we allowed to question other medical interventions, but not this specific one? It’s because the public has unwittingly backpedaled into a secular religion surrounding them.
