Got Vaxxed!

[djohns6]

My elderly Mother was vaxed . She tested positive for Covid and developed Pneumonia . She lasted about two days .

Let me think about it fora minute,,,............. ummm, then last time I was vaxed for anything,...... was probably around 1963 or so, when I started first grade.

Its an individual choice. Make a decision that you can live with and don't dwell on it.

Define "individual."

No, it's ALL about control...

It's not about control. It's about medical science.

I've got a flu shot every year for as long as I can remember.

Covid vax is a joke. Can't believe organizations are still requiring it.

I remember years ago I deployed to the Middle East. I rolled but my sleeves, crossed my arms and walked the gauntlet.

I got three shots in each arm with a gun. I told them I was up to date. They said "tough keep walking".

Define "individual."



It's not about control. It's about medical science.

According to Merriam-Webster, an individual is a single, particular being or thing, especially a human being contrasted with a social group, or a single organism in contrast to a larger group. As a noun, it refers to a single person or thing, and as an adjective, it describes something belonging to or for a single person or entity, like "individual opinions".
As a noun

• A single human being:This is the most common usage, referring to a person apart from a larger community or institution.

Define "science"...My good friend is a medical doctor and allergist since 1972. He advises ALL of his patients to avoid mRNA vaccines. Is he "science", or does it have to be another science?

According to Merriam-Webster, an individual is a single, particular being or thing, especially a human being contrasted with a social group,

Therefore, the choice to Vax is not individual. It directly impacts the social group.

Define "science"...My good friend is a medical doctor and allergist since 1972. He advises ALL of his patients to avoid mRNA vaccines. Is he "science", or does it have to be another science?

I had a girlfriend who was into astrology. She kept insisting that the charts said I would be unfaithful to her. What's your point? Are we going to argue anecdotes and exceptions?

Hey, look! A puppy dog!

I'm sorry to hear that.

As you know, there are a lot of factors involved and no vaccine works 100%. I do believe the different vaccines did protect a lot of people at that time. Not that it makes it any easier in this case. It was a terrible thing across the board.

Personally, I'm done with COVID vaccinations as the threat level has dramatically changed for most of us. As for Pneumonia and Shingles, I'm right there with the OP and got mine, too.

Quantification of residual plasmid DNA and SV40 promoter-enhancer sequences in Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna modRNA COVID-19 vaccines from Ontario, Canada[
David J Speicher 1​, Jessica Rose 2​, Kevin McKernan 3​

First sentences of the abstract:

"For some of the COVID-19 vaccines, the drug substances released to market were manufactured differently than those used in clinical trials. Manufacturing nucleoside-modified mRNA (modRNA) for commercial COVID-19 vaccines relies on RNA polymerase transcription of a plasmid DNA template. Previous studies identified high levels of plasmid DNA in vials of modRNA vaccines, suggesting that the removal of residual DNA template is problematic..."

...Using fluorometry, total DNA in all vials tested exceeded the regulatory limit for residual DNA set by the US Food & Drug Administration (FDA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) by 36–153-fold for Pfizer and 112–627-fold for Moderna after accounting for nonspecific binding to modRNA... The presence of the SV40 promoter-enhancer element in Pfizer vials raises significant safety concerns.





I'm not that smart, but even I know that DNA contamination = higher cancer risk.

The Covid vaccine made me sicker than actual Covid. No more Covid vaccines for me.

For how long? One variant made me Lethargo Man for 18-24 hours at a weekend. Big deal.

The original measles only vaccine I had as a kid in the 60s erased 36 hours of my memory due to the reaction I had to it. 104°F fever will do that. Then "click" I was fine again.

Maybe poison. But in the meantime, I'm 70 and have never had polio, smallpox, measles, mumps, rubella, tetanus, pertussis, hepatitis, Japanese encephalitis, meningitis, pneumococcal pneumonia, or any other disease for which I've been vaxxed except I've had COVID after the Vax, but wasn't sicker than a cold, and cholera after the vax but we were training outside by an open municipal sewer in clouds of mosquitos - my case was like moderate diarrhea.

The poisons will likely kill me, but what the heck - I'm too old to die young.

Added: Yellow Fever vax for Ethiopia.

You can debate about other vaccines, but we all know that the jabs for C-19 do not (a) prevent infection or (b) reduce transmission. Ergo, they are not "vaccines".
