A Doctor’s View About The New mRNA Vaccines

American Thinker ^ | 15 Feb, 2021 | Thomas Siler

[MtnClimber]

It’s important to know both what we know about the new vaccines and what we don’t know.

I’ve practiced for 35 years. I am always honest with my patients, even if conversations are difficult or confrontational. I will also be honest about saying “I don’t know.”

What do we know about the new TYPE of vaccine being given?

Pfizer and Moderna were the first COVID-19 vaccines to be approved. Both use a new technology called mRNA vaccine, which has never been broadly given to a human population to prevent any disease.

Let that sink in for a moment.

All previous vaccines take a weakened virus or a piece of the virus and inject it into humans to induce an immune response sufficient to prevent a disease. Pfizer’s and Moderna’s vaccines inject mRNA, which is a protein code that instructs the body to make a part of COVID-19’s spike protein that will then induce an immune response.

Our bodies daily use our own mRNA to carry instructions from DNA to make various proteins the body uses. While this new vaccine science sounds intriguing, it has never been tried in humans in this scope. It may be a breathtaking scientific advancement heralding a new path for all vaccines. It may also be less effective or have currently unknown side effects.

The American Medical Association is a front for leftist political activism. They’re more committed to ideology than patients, who are simply a means to an end for the AMA.

But you seem to already know that.

[BiglyCommentary]

Thank you. It like getting lectured by NEA shills on the best practices to educate children.

[logi_cal869]

Nailed it. As a result of this ‘virus crisis’ I’m now obligated to add a chapter to my book. When it is published I will become a target, but that was to be with or without the virus.

I’ll be ready...

[SgtHooper]

BINGO!

There is no high horse about it. A physician has a lot more rigorous and longer training and expertise than a nurse. It’s the same as saying a plumber has a lot more training and experience with pipes than a carpenter. It is simply a fact

[Flick Lives]

Yes, widely discredited by the same folks(Main Stream A-holes) who discredited the use of Hyrdroxychlorequine.

We’re in the age of science by consensus, which is no science at all. Historically typical, unfortunately. At one time, the authoritative medical community considered washing ones hands with soap and water a waste of time.

Sir
I don’t disagree
The rampant politicization is sickening
I think it is quite scary.

I am absolutely on the side of anyone should choose what’s best for them. Based on whatever info he or she is persuaded by.

My only goal is to pushback on misinformation on our side.

But I do agree with your perspective on the rabid responses this vaccine seems to have provoked.

[HangnJudge]

… Consider self-reflection.

Entirely agree, and try to see past the “Hall of Mirrors” we are trapped in
I’m severely screwed up, and I’ve not met anyone else who was not
I think there was one, but we killed Him, and He didn’t even stay dead

[gas_dr]

The AMA has nothing to do with the oath I swore. Not sure you understand what was said.

[OldGoatCPO]

Because people do not trust the Government or Big Pharma. Blame whomever you want for that situation but the fact is people just do not trust the people pushing this vaccine. Honestly people like Bill Gates should have just kept his mouths shut, but no they had to inject themselves (pun intended) into the debate. Many people do not trust Gates, his wife or their foundation. Of course Ezekiel Emmanuel the 21st Century’s Doctor Death could not help himself either and thought we wanted his opinion. To date, they have fully vaccinated 11 million out of a population of 325 million. They need 70% for herd immunity I believe. Baby boomers stand at around 60 million people. Even if they vaccinated everyone of us boomers, you would still need about another 167 million people to reach herd immunity. Boomers really do not want to be the test monkeys for this vaccine. Even the medical community can not agree on this vaccine.

[Oystir]

Your thinking is similar to mine. No nursing or med degrees but more than a passing knowledge. Your regimen of Z, C and D is what I have been doing, too. Nice to get confirmation!

[dforest]

You must work for Jack Dorsey. You are unable to take the truth so you have it removed.

You see, not everyone agrees with you and rightfully so.

Careful, Kettle. You’re demeaning Conservatism itself with your words here, and sounding an awful lot like an elitist.

Hmmmm...

MortMan wrote: “The powers that be have already stated that getting the vaccine does not alleviate any of the mitigation requirements, nor does the vaccine mean you cannot catch and transmit the virus.”

That is a total misrepresentation. It’s been said to wear the masks until herd immunity. “

“Ready to ditch your face mask? Get ready to wait a while. That will require the U.S. to achieve herd immunity against COVID-19, said Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s leading infectious disease expert and chief medical adviser to President Biden. That means “you need to get about 70 to 85% of the population vaccinated,” said Fauci during a virtual event at the University of Miami on Thursday. Fauci defined herd immunity as “when the level of virus is so low in the community, that it clearly is no longer a threat … and there are very few infections.””

Is what I said incorrect? I have 10 years of post collegiate training six years post doctoral training. A CRNA has two years of masters training. That means I have nearly a more decade of training. So although you want to say I am on my high horse the fact is the matter is I am far depose snd better trained.

I am sorry not everyone is equal in terms of expertise. I worked quite hard for mine so I am sorry it disturbs you to hear the truth. Perhaps we should award participation trophies?

[logi_cal869]

Hey DA:

If the shots are truly vaccines, then those who have been vaccinated are no risk for either infection themselves or to others. Yet we’re told that those having received the ‘vaccines’ have to comply with irrational, unscientific dictates.

Do I need to post a pic describing your position?

[Jane Long]

I’m just amazed at how supposedly busy docs, working with so many Covid pts, have so much time to post on an internet forum....day after day (even when working long shifts)....especially/almost exclusively on the China virus “VACCINE” threads.

I don’t know about you, but I wouldn’t want my doc spending so much time on an internet chat forum, China virus season, or not.....especially pushing an experimental, EUA shot.

But, that could just be me 🤷‍♀️

[OldGoatCPO]

Note, I said works both ways. Abortionists have successfully argued using that point for years. Time to host them on their own petard.

[Flick Lives]

We are creating GMO people.

I'm reminded of an excellent movie staring Will Smith; "I Am Legend". A hypothetical cure for cancer is administered and has the slightly disastrous side-effect 6 months later of turning people into zombies. Fiction, certainly, but interesting to consider long term unknown consequences.

[ladyjane]

Can it later on trigger the cells to become cancerous?

Nobody knows. We'll find out later on.

The concern is your immune system and how it reacts overtime. We'll find out about that too.
