@angryhacademic@ThomasSideways@dogvoyages Then how can you claim vaccine side effects aren't researched? They absolutely are.
But the public discourse around this is muddied due to intentional misinformation spread by anti-vaxxers. So people will have a knee-jerk reaction to your comments if your stance is unclear.
@ozzzyjim @thunderousmunt @TamePunk Institutional action against systemic injustice is birthday presents.
Says all I need to know about your approach to social justice.
Tell me, do you follow Tame because of what she stands for, or because she's a pretty white woman? Asking for a friend.
@angryhacademic@ThomasSideways@dogvoyages They are. I had a pt just the other day whose file detailed her vaccine injury.
On the other hand, we have entire wards dedicated to the sick and dying of covid.
Medicine is always about relative risk.
@ozzzyjim @thunderousmunt @TamePunk Right but you also told an indigenous person to complain some more so maybe you need to rethink how allied you are with the cause.
@itsmontyj or~~ absolutely everybody struggles with communication at times and if you think you don't then boy do I have some news about your communication skills...
@AarelCalhoun@iG0DDESS_@itsmontyj Unless they think theyre not worthy of the connection? Or you bring it up in a way which triggers their trauma so they shut down?
I mean it's up to you how much emotional labour you put into it but don't assume people who aren't communicating well don't care about you.
@ozzzyjim @thunderousmunt @TamePunk I am seeing it for what it is 'a small gesture'. Just sounds an awful lot like you'd prefer that to be the last we hear of it.
@ozzzyjim @thunderousmunt @TamePunk > history of genocide
> puts up a flag
I mean, welcome gesture? Of course. But indigenous peoples are RIGHT to complain until real, lasting change is actioned by our government
@LilaGraceRose The same Catholic church which has systematically and persistently facilitated and hidden child sexual and physical abuse (including actual infanticide and homicide) for centuries?
That Catholic church?
It seems you can't be a practicing Catholic and support children.
@JeremyPoxon Remember when.. quite recently, actually, a huge portion of the population had to rely on govt handouts, through no fault of their own, in many cases at sig. Less than they're used to getting paid? D'y'think that might have planted a seed in the mind of the populace?
