  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Two articles worth considering concerning vaccines.

I don’t have a lot to say about these. I’m just posting so that there’s a wide variety of info out there.

There's also a wide variety of misinfo out there, like your first source.

Children's Health Defense is an American activist group mainly known for anti-vaccine activities and has been identified as one of the main sources of misinformation on vaccines.

The first link isn’t working for me.

The 2nd article reports an observation of antibody dependent enhancement of the Delta variant in vitro. It states that such enhancement has not been observed in vivo. And in any case, vaccine manufacturers are working on a Delta active product.

It’s certainly possible—and maybe likely—that SARS-CoV-2 immunization will be like seasonal influenza. The virus undergoes genetic variation, and a somewhat different vaccine will be needed each year.

When folks use genetic fallacies, I know that there must be something to it.

Fine, you made me look. It took 5 seconds to find the misinformation. But my time is better spent addressing things that aren't from a confirmed wackadoodle like RFK Jr (that's an ad hominem).

The study is a comparison of Delta now to strains in the past. Not a comparison of vaccinated people to unvaccinated people.

your source: "The study found vaccinated individuals carry 251 times the load of COVID-19 viruses in their nostrils compared to the unvaccinated."

the study: "Viral loads of breakthrough Delta variant infection cases were 251 times higher than those of cases infected with old strains detected between March-April 2020."
