The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are based on "messenger" RNA. The RNA is encapsulated in a lipid layer consisting of propylene glycol (a petrochemical).
This is the biological definition of a virus. (In this case a synthetic virus.)
Medical Microbiology, 4th Edition:
Virus Structure and Function
Viruses are small obligate intracellular parasites, which by definition contain either a RNA or DNA genome surrounded by a protective, virus-coded protein coat. Viruses may be viewed as mobile genetic elements, most probably of cellular origin and characterized by a long co-evolution of virus and host. For propagation viruses depend on specialized host cells supplying the complex metabolic and biosynthetic machinery of eukaryotic or prokaryotic cells. A complete virus particle is called a virion. The main function of the virion is to deliver its DNA or RNA genome into the host cell so that the genome can be expressed (transcribed and translated) by the host cell. The viral genome, often with associated basic proteins, is packaged inside a symmetric protein capsid. The nucleic acid-associated protein, called nucleoprotein, together with the genome, forms the nucleocapsid. In enveloped viruses, the nucleocapsid is surrounded by a lipid bilayer derived from the modified host cell membrane and studded with an outer layer of virus envelope glycoproteins.

Accurately describing the covid jab with proper English words harms the political cause of the statists, which is why they abuse the language.
Freedom is Slavery, and all that.
Own the facts. The covid jab is genetic engineering.
Now whether it will prove to be helpful to humanity, certain age groups, with or without certain risks ... most of that is completely unknowable today.
But in about 3 years, I’ll decide. There will probably be enough data to buy down the unknowns, and my risks increase. Fair enough. In the mean time, I take my chances without.
Let’s just not torture language for political purposes. The jab is a huge genetic engineering experiment on a largely ignorant population.
That seems immoral, and requires some unknowable amount of pure luck not to turn out as mass casualties someday.
I don’t understand what you are trying to say to me. What does “Q?” mean?
“My mama said that ‘conservative’ meant ‘to conserve (or preserve) time tested and proven traditions, values, and practices.”
Your mama was a very wise woman and I totally agree with her.
What I’m pointng out is the flip side of that sentiment, which is because we’re so respectful of what’s worked in the past, that makes us weary of and reluctant to accept new ideas.
Unless we’re more open to new ideas and ways of doing things (and yes with a healthy dose of skepticism) we’ll be stuck in the past.
The enemy of Coservatism is radicalism. I hardly consider a vaccine that has gone through a thorough testing and whose development was orchestrated by Trump, radical.
Do you?
never trust anything our government and those pushing the vaccines say about stopping the spread of a “deadly virus” after our government opened the border and continues to freely spread thousands of “disease carrying invaders” across our country during a “global pandemic”...
It IS the proper English word. Here’s the important part of the definition you posted:
administered primarily to prevent disease.
Why are people getting these shots? To prevent disease.
They’re vaccines.
I don’t give a damn if you get the vaccine. I don’t give a damn if you get ANY vaccine. I care about you LYING. When you say it’s not a vaccine that is a LIE.
Player character all the way.
Then the mRNA treatment is not a vaccine. It has no part of the virus within it.
So, if I’m reading this right, you and I are on the same page?
Conservatives Defined.
_____________
You use the definition of conservative incorrectly. I flatter myself in position to correct you but no worries, I know words change and often times I understand why it is happening. The idea was “conserving” (as agrees with your definition) at that time what are the now long gone principles of Creator endowed liberty. The position had been known in the 19th century as liberalism, and even today, by Dennis Prager for example, is sometimes called classical liberalism.
Adlai Stevenson made the same mistake, when he said that he loved conservatives though he disagreed with them. He needed conservatives to conserve the democratic gains of the new deal. If so then we must dump the term for what we are, revolutionary radicals!
In linguistics we call it the “etymological fallacy” which is a hard one for people to see since the etymology often does and always ought to control the definition.
I am not worried about terminology, I am worried that we are so far removed from any hope of restoring our constitution.
I was also interested in your use of “Luddite” which is an unusual term as it is meant as an insult and the receiver takes no umbrage at it.
FReegards!
The covid jab is literally a genetic engineering experiment that turns you into a genetically modified organism in an attempt to avoid an illness with a low probability of death for most people. So, I’ll call it a genetic engineering experiment. That’s true and accurate.
You call that a “vaccine.” Hey, you are free to use your language, though I disagree.
But in none of the above am I lying. So back off. Jack.
No it isn’t. You’re a liar. And despicable. I don’t tenant filth. We’re done.
Guess what else my mama said.
She said the 'conservatives', in the true meaning of the word, are solely responsible throughout history for every innovation known to man.
We are the ants. Anti-conservatives are the grasshopper. Are you familiar with that fable?
It is instructive.
The enemy of Conservatism is radicalism. I hardly consider a vaccine that has gone through a thorough testing and whose development was orchestrated by Trump, radical. Do you?
Just got off the phone with mama.
She says the culture has been hijacked by the former radicals and they are now the establishment.
She says we are now the radicals.
What should I tell my mama?
You have a lovely day!
I gave you a chance in private mail to sort out, but it seems you’re stuck with the globalists. I’m sorry to hear that. When they come put your mark on, are you opting for forehead or wrist?
There’s nothing to sort out. You’re on the side of conspiracy theory nonsense. And spreading lies. I’m not on the side of globalists, I’m on the side of truth and actually bothering to think. You’re not. Goodbye.
That’s like saying the synthetic insulin I inject every day is not insulin because it isn’t from a human or pig.
Well, yeah, that’s true, BUT it still works.
Even better then human or pig insulin.
New medical advances happen.
What’s the difference between medial achievements of yesterday vs. today?
The Internet.
