Again I respectfully request that anybody that doesn’t trust the vaccines shares the research they have read that led to this skepticism.
mRNA vaccines are exciting … I mean, as exciting as vaccines can get considering why we need them.
Agreed. I find the whole technology fascinating.
LOL, you got downvoted? Anyway, I’m with you. Learning about how mRNA vaccines work and the relative safety of it compared with other types was eye opening. The ingenuity of the approach is really impressive. I hope people smarter than me find more use for it than the few scenarios it’s currently being used.
Yep, somebody must really dislike mRNA technology. Maybe they prefer live virus vaccines so they can whinge about how they don’t want to get injected with a virus. Or maybe they downvote everything that I comment, no matter what it is.
I think the number of deaths, so far, are reason enough for me. Considering my state wasn’t on full lockdown for more than a few months and we’ve been out and about, mostly mask free, back and forth to different states, and gathering occasionally with groups, and all are still Covid free, I’d rather risk getting Covid than having a non-FDA approved, rushed vaccine injected in me.
While the vaccine may or may not be viable, the short time in development, testing, and many unknowns that only time will show, is enough to make one skeptical. Don’t be to quick to jump on board something that could change your life for the worse. Question everything…..
Read the label re recombiant DNA – as in DNA from the lung tissue of 14 week old male fetus, plus ‘non-human’ DNA. 2 cases of anaphlatic shock in 1,000 vacinations in England. That is too high a level for an inadequately tested vaccine that is only FDA approved for “emergency use.” The entire world needs to remember the lesson of THALIDOMIDE, especially insurance companies, as the potential long-term side affects of COVID-19 vaccines have not been assessed. Again, a nightmare scenario for insurance companies is the issue of accelerated dementiate; try and calculate the legal liability if 10-years from now, even 0.1% of vaccinated people have COVID vaccine induced dementia. 10% impact – HELL ON EARTH!
I think employers might hesitate to take on the liability of requiring employees to take a vaccine that is the first of it’s kinds, was rushed in development, and if it has material negative consequences they could be held liable for as they required taking it.
