shortarcflyer, either you need to ask your trusted physicians about the whole spectrum of vaccine results or if he/they already told you about them (the responsible thing to do) you need to stop ignoring the whole picture and stop focusing on the miniscule percentage that affirms your politics. OR you could just click on your Calculator app and figure the percentage values of 50 to 90,000,000. Do the math and consider your focus.
Nothing to do with politcs. Just speaking of covid vaccines, not the whole vaccine spectrum.
I am markedly healthy, but I had a family member with a LOT of medical issues. We saw a GP, Heart specialists, a GI doctor, a dermatologist, and various consultants often. All of them took Covid VERY seriously and all were vaccinated and recommended everyone else get vaccinated. Except the Dermatologist, he thought it was all a bunch of noise. He got Covid, had to retire as he got long Covid and was unable to continue working, got Covid again, and died of Covid. The others are still healthy and working.
If I am going to listen to a doctor about Covid, it will be a Epidemiologist or Researcher in the field of infectious diseases: and they all advised getting the vaccine.
Now this is all anecdotal and not good evidence, but the statistics (which ARE good evidence) indicate that I made the right call. Had enough people made the same call worldwide then the later variants might never have existed and MILLIONS of lives might have been saved. Gates tried to help with that. I might not like Gates, but I can respect THAT at least.

OK so what's the difference you or your MDs think make Covid vaccines detrimental? Is it just because instead of including live or dead virus cells that they are mRNA based? or something else?
Well hazel, while in principle I agree, these days everything seems to be viewed through political eyes ever since politics became equivalent to identity. In this case we really can't talk about SpaceX without including Elon Musk, and while I rather intensely dislike it, he, being rather high profile and unafraid to speak his mind, has become something of a victim of "Identity Politics". To my way of thinking it's a lot like someone denying the beauty of the Sistine Chapel because Michelangelo was apparently homosexual.
Not only do bad things happen to good people, good people sometimes do bad things and vice versa. I think we should try to see the whole person instead of "discovering" something we don't like (often judging early mores by today's standards) and using that as an excuse to write off the person and everything they did. "There, but for fortune..."
This thread is veering off course again. It's supposed to be about SpaceX, not vaccines.
Quite right. Back to Musky.
LORD I hope he does not take shortcuts on SpaceX the way he did on the cars/trucks.
The vehicles are good basic engineering, but then corners cut on assembly so that parts fail and fall off that never should. I would hate to think of that happening in orbit! (The walk home really sucks!)
"Unpaid bills and finger-pointing among contractors, Reuters found, have led many construction-industry businesses to file liens against SpaceX properties in efforts to get compensated."
"one of more than two dozen companies that have filed at least 72 liens since 2019
against sites developed by SpaceX and its contractors. Combined, Reuters found, the liens have sought payments totaling more
than $2.5 million."
Meanwhile the 50th launch of Falcon 9 is in the books for this year...
In a way its good to see some pull back on EVs and charging as the infrastructure and technology isn't quite there yet for 'general' use. I know at this point I wouldn't touch an EV with a ten foot pole.
