Not a single mention of vaccine injury, PCVS, or any of the actual science, that is inconvenient to your simplistic narrative. and you wonder why people don’t trust you

Then advocate for the removal of liability protections and actually allow your victims to challenge your claims. Otherwise admit you’re just a coward who needs to hide behind the government

They only talk about the 90% positive effect, but they completely ignore the people who died from the vaccine.

👍🏼👍🏼

There was no trust to win "back" from those Flat Earther conspiracy theorists.
Scientists never had their trust.
@
Excellent news.

Dr. Corbett’s talk profoundly moved me. Instead of lecturing, she met our deepest fears with true empathy. Seeing the caring human behind the science made me feel completely reassured. It was a beautiful reminder that science is ultimately driven by a fierce, undeniable love for humanity.

When did TEDtalks get good again? I thought I was done with this channel.

This is for the ignorant people who think they are educated and believe they possess the truth.

Thank you Mam. Retired RN here. The last few years of my career were spent trying to alleviate the fears people had about getting the covid and flu vaccines. Some questions I got were educated and served a purpose, and the other 75% were argumentative and political. The one thing I had to help people make up their mind was people dying around us
from covid. It assisted many people to get vaccinated. Thank you for your insight. Very relatable.

Brilliant!!!!

I love you ❤❤ Thank you❤❤

One issue is, this is a somewhat complex immune therapy issue and the average American reads/understands on a 5th or 6th grade level. You may as well be trying to explain String Theory to Floyd the barber.

Trust is easy to lose and very hard to regain.

Video hasn’t even been out 15 minutes and people are already proudly revealing they did not hear a single word this woman said.
@
Define negative effocacy. Are you saying that people that got the vaccine had a huge increase in disease compared to a control group of some kind?
@
A lot of experts in the comments, eye roll...
@
It seems like most of the people asking these questions have already made up their mind and are only prepared to accept one answer.
