What happened to you man? You used to be cool...I despise pharma and have been a tremendous critic for years; I feel I was iatrogenically damaged by the pharma industry pushing ADD drugs when I was a youth, and I can cite a dozen examples of hideous, immoral and often illegal things pharma co's have done.
Not really something you should boast about when you're making arguments that are supposed to be unbiased and impartial, that are also influencing people on this forum to make decisions that may ultimately ruin their lives.I was cynical enough about this that I bought a bunch of Pfizer stock the day I got jabbed (it's up 40%!)
Oh god there's not a single scrap of evidence to suggest this.based on extensive global data from hundreds of millions of people, they work very well.
Yeah, you and everyone else here. Is there anyone on Tinnitus Talk that doesn't have a "friend" who's a doctor? Put your hands up.I interact with a lot of ICU staff
The leading causes of death in the U.S. are still heart disease and cancer by a significant margin. Both conditions are preventable with diet and exercise. How come they don't receive nearly the same attention that COVID-19 does?
Do they? What happened to the mandated exercise for heart disease?These conditions receive immense attention, immense funding, and are constantly a source of media discussion, medical pressure, etc.
Or the blanket ban on smoking and junk food?
So am I the only person here who finds @linearb's constant gaslighting of the vaccine injured on this forum nauseating?Anyway, all of this has strayed from the OP. I wanna make one thing super clear:
I am completely open to the idea that @Erdem had tinnitus that may have been caused by the vaccine, and that @Brian P's may have been made worse. I only say "may have", because statistically, some amount of people will develop random tinnitus over any time frame, and we just vaxed 2/3 the country, so we're bound to get some false positives.

Why does he never apply this conditional to those who developed tinnitus from the virus?
I mean okay, I don't buy it, but let's apply this incredibly shoddy mathematical caveat he's invented, to this figure we've settled on, as an indicator for risk of tinnitus when infected with COVID-19:
15,000 people develop tinnitus without any known cause every week in the US (according to @linearb, not me), and we're seeing 70,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the US per week
We use the median of the 7-15% tinnitus risk associated with COVID-19, he keeps quoting (which is inaccurate anyway, because the most conservative study put it at 5% to 1 sf); which leaves us with 11%.
So 11% of 70,000 = 7,700
7,700 people in the US developing tinnitus from COVID-19 each week; that would be terrible (if it were true).
But now for the fun part, we apply the @linearb gaslight theory whereby you subtract 15,000 from the number of people developing tinnitus, because they would have developed it anyway.
7,700 - 15,000 = -7,300.
And there you have it; no one is developing tinnitus from COVID-19.
@linearb was right, gaslighting people is fun as sh*t. We should all do it more often!!
