Why HN links it

Steve Kirsch's Substack posts on Covid vaccines, treatments and the lab-origin hypothesis. Commenters mostly link them as support for their own points, and one calls a wet-market theory rebuttal good.

Summarised by Claude from a sample of 11 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

I've written over 1,700 articles about COVID, vaccines, corruption, censorship, and early treatments. The data shows that the COVID vaccines have no benefit and have killed over 500,000 Americans. The data is publicly available, but nobody wants to look. Click to read Steve Kirsch's newsletter, a Su

  1. Children aren't at risk from Covid at all. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-01897-w In the US, 340 children under 17 have died from Covid. Total. During the same period, 187 have died from the flu, and over 51,000 children have died from all causes: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nvss/vsrr/covid_weekly/index.htm#Se...

  5. I guess it's possible you don't actually know the difference, but what you linked isn't a research paper or study; it's a news article! And it's factually incorrect. It cites the Bangladesh RCT, which I am well aware of already. The trial results showed little to no statistically significant benefit to masking: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/360320982_The_Bangl... "A very large trial, whose results were pu…

  11. I had longcovid 14 months until June 2021. Over the last year I haven’t been sick once. I’m not convinced the VACCINE wasn’t a biological attack on your immune system. All my family who took it get sick repeatedly, I’m exposed to the viruses they have and don’t get sick. All that is anecdotal, but it also jives with what Kirsch and others have been saying about the mRNA shots: https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/the-…

  13. That’s true. But the difference between the COVID vaccines and seatbelts is the data — hence why you hear that argument about COVID vaccines, but not seatbelts. https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/thailand-study-of-young-a... https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/here-is-the-data-behind-a... https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/doctors-in-canada-are-dyi...

  16. I'm pretty baffled by this reply. It used to be (last year?) common knowledge that children were largely unaffected by covid. I guess the vaccine rollout has changed people's minds, but it hasn't changed the data. https://stevekirsch.substack.com/p/weve-now-killed-close-to-...
