Which evidence? If there was clear evidence that it was unsafe then it would be pulled, and I would of course support that.

What??? You do realize that when they do things like this, make a vaccine and test it, that the results are public right? Science is done in an open venue so other scientists can check, confirm, or refute the claims.

What you are saying here is that all the scientists are what, being coerced into not looking into it? Conspiracy theory much?

BS. Total BS. This alone shows how untested and unresearched this thing is.
Wow. This statement alone demonstrates you are completely unqualified to make any judgment with respect to the efficacy and merits of any kind of medical technology.

Seriously, please just ask your doctor's opinion and go with that.

Who exactly is predicting doom and gloom?

The WHO isn't out there leveraging the media to get an unsubstantiated point across.

The media are what they are, they're going to find anything sensational and beat the hell out of it. It is what it is.

My point was "scientists" who can't get any attention through normal scientific processes so resort to media. "Pseudo-scientists".
