Same as I did this past time. My intuition or gut reaction. It didn't add up. The other red flags like censorship. I was raised that when someone doesn't want you to know something, it is not for your benefit but theirs. I knew that testing of a product should take years not weeks. My family always had a skepticism of the medical profession. I didn't rush into anything like the sheeple. Take time to research and let it play out.

Was simply as asking your pharmacist what the ordinary procedure is in getting drugs to market. . . Then comparing that procedure to this rush-jab.

And then following your intuition.

Why would a pharmacist know anything about what "the ordinary procedure is in getting drugs to market?"

I know. I am not a rocket scientist but common sense and due diligence is essential in life.

Those not trained in law seldom know what due diligence is.

Yet most of us know an a-hole when we see one….

We all have one, and some, like yours, stink at a long distance.

I work in finance and due diligence is covered in depth.

My RN mother deified doctors, which led me to have two near misses. One, at two, where the doctor gave me a shot of penicillin for an ear infection without challenging me to find out I was allergic to it, nearly killing or crippling me with gross anaphylactic shock. The second time, in 1976, when she convinced me to get a Swine flu shot from which I nearly died from Guillain Barre Syndrome.

Yes! While my experience wasn't quite as risky, this past summer I went to an urgent care. I'd received a "minor" dog bite three days earlier and now I had a potentially serious infection (cellulitis). They wrote me a script for antibiotic, which is standard. They also recommended a tetanus booster. I was willing to waver from my 'no vaccinations ever again" resolution. Fortunately, they had me read a signed consent. At the top of the list of contraindications was: Did I currently have an infection? I was being TREATED for having an infection!!! I pointed this error out to the attendant, and nothing more was said about a recommended tetanus shot.

Doesn't really inspire confidence in our medical care, does it?
