I’m gonna have to call bullshit on that. There is enough of a crapstorm going on without stuff like this. On the face of it it makes this a lose/lose situation. Without ANY details it outlines a scenario where anyone who’s diligently resisted this suddenly has the “hope rug” pulled out from under them.
If there’s an iota of reality to it the guy should have named the Astra Zeneca person, and put some details around the biomolecular allegation that there is some mechanism enabled within the unit to produce or INDUCE the folding of the protein that produces encephalopathy.
You HAVE the protein molecular arrangement that produces encephalopathy, and the potential to generate the same.
Your healthy unstressed body deals with this stuff. This is DERP eyeball catching fear inducing bullshit.
I myself was gripped momentarily seeing that until I did a bit of digging around. The nuances of molecular biology is a field rife with associations and phrases that can be strung together to destroy the resolve of uninformed seeker with ease. It’s analogous to saying “rocks in space are all sorts of sizes, they all go really fast, there’s TRILLIONS of them and it’s only a matter of time until we’re snuffed out by one, probably not long, have a good night...”
I agree with you, Axenolith, that we need to be careful to not go off half-cockeyed on any old fantastic-sounding theory that comes our way, but at the same time, I think it is a good idea to take what has been brought to the forum about prions and the various excellent writ-ups on concerns about the vaccine by Ransomnote and write up a little study guide for ourselves so that when we are presented with the opportunity we can explain that we are not getting the vax because our concerns about it are A, B, and C.
One concern is the prions will build up and people with weak immune systems may not be able to ward this off, if I have the science right.
I have to work on talking points for myself on this subject, as I think many of do. We have to treat this as a college class we are having trouble with because our brain and the subject matter just do not go well together and we have to really buckle down and study and take notes if we are to pass it. I think most of us have had that experience with some class or other in high school, college, trade school, or some area of a credentializing course of study we have had to take where our brains and the class just did not play well together.
