[continued from previous message]

information is provided to even draw that minimum conclusion, and VAERS is self-reporting and is pretty much useless in its raw form (which that
vaccine batch VAERS lookup site uses). That leads me to believe that the batch/"reactions" lookup site is part of the anti-vaccine disinformation campaign. I'm disturbed to even see that site linked here.

[The strange thing here is that much of the data on the Bad Batch website
and elsewhere appears to be from public reports (e.g., from doctors and
hospitals, but also from injured patients or reports from their
survivors), even if those reports have not been officially sanctioned by
the CDC. There seems to be considerable evidence that significant amounts
of negative information is being suppressed or overcome by misinformation.
That is a question posed by Stephen Colbert's use of the term *truthiness*
(i.e., giving the false appearance of truth): whom should you trust if the
only approved sources are not transparent?

One other point, what is the main ingredient of the vaccines that have to
be kept at -70 degrees? Antifreeze (i.e., polyethylene glycol), which is
known to have potentially fatal anaphillactic reactions to certain
individuals. But, what happens to a batch at room temperature, or that
has been indvertently left in the sun on the loading doc? The main remedy
thus far appears to be only tossing the rest of an unused batch at the end
of the day, or (rarely) discarding an entire batch that has been
identified as bad. As I think I have noted here before, there is no
black-and-white one-size-fits-all solution that works equally for
everyone. Furthermore, the existence of some sort of bad-batch problem
seems to be irrefutable -- even if `officially' or `popularly' discounted.
