And from a scientific point of view the mRNA vaccines are fascinating. They use the bodys own cells to use the mRNA as the code for a protein on the virus. Your cells then make the specific protein (but not the COVID virus) which your immune system then recognises as foreign and attacks.

Thank you

All the vaccines we bought? And agani you're worried about safety, what delayed effects do you expect that havent been seen so far.

We don't know what to expect.

The only way to find out what the long-term effects will be (or if there are any), is to wait.

Why not, as I said this isn't made any differently then any other vaccine. E.g. do you take the flu vaccine every year? Its a different vaccine, just made in exactly the same way.

No. I've never had a flu jab in my life.

Even so, others have. E.g. I've had one every year for about a decade and apart from an increasing grumpiness around anti-science BS, I have no long term effects

I'm no scientist, but I think the stuff they inject into you for the flu jab is different to the stuff they want to inject into us for COVID.

Without the COVID vaccine being in general use for a long period of time, there's no way to know what the long-term effects may or may not be.

Yeah? Undecided

Covid is not the flu, it is a variant of SARS. With any vaccine there is an element of risk, however these are minimal compared to the risks of not having it.

You have evidence to prove this?

Certainly....the almost complete absence among vaccinated populations of the diseases that used to kill
thousands. Polio, Mumps, Measles, Typhoid, Yellow Fever, Hepatitis, Cholera......

However its no surprise that some of these are making a comeback because of the complacency of people who have never had to deal with these diseases coupled with the stupidity of those who believe vaccinations are unsafe. Roll Eyes

I was under the impression that different vaccines have different ingredients.

I guess I look pretty silly now Embarrassed

E.g. heres a list of the Pfizer ingredients

: mRNA,
lipids ((4-hydroxybutyl)azanediyl)bis(hexane-6,1-diyl)bis(2-hexyldecanoate), 2
[(polyethylene glycol)-2000]-N,N-ditetradecylacetamide,
1,2-Distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-
phosphocholine, and cholesterol),
potassium chloride,
monobasic potassium
phosphate,
sodium chloride,
dibasic sodium phosphate dihydrate,
and sucrose.

The big one is used to make the lipid nanoparticles containing the mRNA. They could cause some allergic reactions but thats going to be when you encounter the lipid again, e.g. after the vaccination

Anti-vaxers would say:

In other words: Anti-freeze. Cheesy

(But it isn't) Wink

Guess I'm getting everything wrong today.

D'oh!

'today'??
You haven't gotten anything right (before or) since you remained on this forum despite your promise to f orf, turd.

You linger and you are wrong.
Put that on your headstone.

Every post I upload instantly triggers you and your uneducated ilk (without fail)

We just can't get used to the stench.

That will give it enough time to make sure the Pfizer and AZ batches aren't duds and long enough for side effects to present. I imagine that's about when gen pop will be getting theirs.

I'll get a covid jab if it lets me travel the world freely. But then again, I am also very happy to explore NSW and Australia for the next few years. I have seen the world, I would be only re-visiting.

Jesus!

In one day I've agreed 100% with Yadda, and now Frank.

Bobby: is this a sign of end times?
