Guys, I'm really scared here in L.A. county. Everyday we are shattering record. I feel like we are in a sinking ship (Titanic) with not enough life boat onboard (hospital, medical staff). I worry about my little family getting sick and we may have nowhere to go to get proper treatment. We had wonderful lives to live and now our hopes and dreams are in jeopardy. This really sucks.![]()

On a somewhat comical note (not really), I just cut the CRAP out of myself, to the point I was afraid I may need stitches, but I was able to control the bleeding by applying pressure, not before gushing blood all over the place...
This is can be described as an injury one would only get during a pandemic and being locked down: I’m very unhappy to be missing my regular teeth cleanings, so I ordered one of those sharp metal scraper tools they use at the dentist’s office to clean your teeth under the gum line - well I just fish hooked myself in the mouth/cheek. Seriously.
Additionally, I have another injury which thankfully has started to heal up, with a lot of care and angst, but really this is something that I needed to be seen for.
My point is, many people out there I am sure are not seeking medical attention when they may need to. There will be residual effects of this.
So, yeah, don’t try that home with the dental fish hook, or if you do, be very very careful.![]()
My use of birth defects/vaccines was intended only as only as an illustrative example. You’re right, by reading one person’s unsubstantiated idea the reader wouldn’t have enough info to make a decision but it might raise the question so they would be on the lookout for other information to learn the facts. And also to your point, who would take anything as a fact because one of one person’s unsubstantiated hypothesis? Almost no-one, so why does facebook need to step in to protect us from ourselves.Wow, that's an interesting take. How would the average person know what caused a birth defect?
So you really think that a person's view on what caused birth defects (based on no science at all) should be encouraged to decide this on their own?
You'd be surprised at what people already believe about birth defects. The entire history of folk theories about birth defects shows that all of the folk theories were wrong, except perhaps a few related to prior pandemics...measles and some forms of flu can heighten the number of birth defects, but these theories were promulgated by big jumps in numbers in birth defects.
I'd hope that people would wait for epidemiological information to disentangle such a complex question. I am completely stumped as to how any particular individual observation could show that either COVID or the vaccine caused a particular condition, without a scientific study.
