SJG are part of "The" Science get your vaccine cult, so if the vaccine was involved in his illness and death, they would dismiss it outright.

At a bare minimum, pharma-aligned people will not prominently mention the syndrome, which was my original point.

As an aside, I got my J&J at Kroger in Richardson.  There's a non-zero chance that we'd still have this prominent author today had she been anti-vax.

well, okay then.

I like how the othering and labels are so easy to use for drive-bys like this.

I like vaccines.  I don't believe they cause autism.  I think they should be in development until they are proven via testing to do what they say they do without killing people.

That's only "anti-vax" if you're a drug company who feels they have the right to kill people for profit.  To anyone else, it's simply "reasonable".

Use science.  Test your shit.  Only sell stuff that's not snake oil.

Agreed, though we are again way off topic. But the problem is how do you tell whats real or not without taking your meds to a lab and having them tested? People have been crying "placebo!" and worse since probably the turn of the previous century. And how do they KNOW the medicine isnt real?

As for Jaquays. Who knows what cause the illness. It could have simply been they caught something. That does happen. I know! I used to get sick left and right and never had a vaccination.

Quote from: pawsplay on January 25, 2024, 01:02:45 PMThere was absolutely no secrecy involved.

I've already identified two examples who were not aware this death was due to an immune system attacking its own nerves.

One of them was someone who failed to read Wikipedia properly.

Quote from: pawsplay on January 25, 2024, 01:02:45 PMAll of this was documented on Rebecca's Facebook page, and most of these details can be found in the fundraising campaign to help Rebecca out after this disaster.

Who is this person you feel I should be on a first name basis with?  If I go look at all the Rebeccas on my own Facebook, I find no such documentation.  Is it possible you're in some kind of inner circle that the rest of us are not?  Could your bias be showing here?

Quote from: pawsplay on January 25, 2024, 01:02:45 PMMost cases of Guillain–Barré are simply triggered by an infection. Vaccine reactions are rare.

I'm unclear how your qualifications exceed those of the Mayo Clinic.  Please elaborate.

Quote from: The Mayo Clinic
The exact cause of Guillain-Barre syndrome is unknown. But two-thirds of patients report symptoms of an infection in the six weeks preceding. These include a COVID-19, respiratory or a gastrointestinal infection or Zika virus.

Quote from: pawsplay on January 25, 2024, 01:02:45 PMIt's still possible there was a vaccine proximate to her illness, but there is no FB post that day to the effect of "well, going to go get stuck" or anything, as is customary among the tribe of vaxxers. So I think that's less likely.

You find random, unexplained infection MORE PLAUSIBLE than an experimental thing that was tested on only six laboratory mice?  Do you really?  Really, really?

Six laboratory mice? That's no way to talk about my children. Who were participants in a two year long clinical trial for a COVID vaccine.

Quote from: pawsplay on January 25, 2024, 01:02:45 PMThere is still plenty of time to give, if you are able to help.

Again with the inner circle.  Virtue signal received, thank you.  Give to whom, in what way, and for what reason?  I communicate poorly, but I dare say you're worse.

What? You have an issue with helping people?

Inner circle? You mean a few hundred of her closest Facebook friends, all of her wife's Facebook friends, various sympathetic RPG industry friends who boosted her story? Steve Jackson games? Absolutely everyone on every major RPG board, including this one, if people bothered to read? Basically, absolutely anyone who knew her at all or became curious about her when her situation started making the rounds? That inner circle?

Can a mod threadban this fuck for continuing to post off-topic well past the point of absurdity?

This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Yeah, Aglondir, it would have been nice to have a thread with comments about people's experiences with Paul's modules, or even discussion of the modules and adventures themselves. That would have been awesome!

But the Fuckstick had to constantly start in on screaming about his fucking favourite degeneracy and shrieking about the tranny politics.

Instead of just talking about Paul's modules and stuff that he worked on, and contributed to.

Like Klava and several others admonished us all--"Don't feed the Troll!"

Which is why I have refrained from commenting much in this entire thread because of the BS started by the Fuckstick Troll.

I always enjoyed The Savage Frontier, and The North. Both were excellent supplements by Paul. I also have immensely enjoyed the Heroes Casting or whatever the title was. A awesome book about Character Backgrounds and Development. Just fantastic.

Shark I think you're confused.  I'm the one being threatened as though I've been posting porn.  I may be a fuckstick but I didn't start the thread, nor do I feel trans issues are important enough to get excited about.
