Are you willing and able to state and provide evidence that there are no long term adverse effects to the covid genetic engineering jab?

Absolutely not. I will not get the mRNA shot, and I won’t encourage others to do so except upon their own educated research. There is simply not enough data for such a new mechanism of action. I am also not in a hurry because I’ve had full blown COVID-19, and have the much superior natural immunity.

That being said, it does no good for those of us who are being cautious to repeat falsehoods and theories that do not make sense given the technology being used. It is unfortunate that the mechanism here is sophisticated enough that you need a pretty solid understand of DNA/RNA/protein synthesis and cell biology to really reason about it thoroughly.

There is risk of the mRNA expression occurring in odd parts of the body and causing inflammation and other side effects where it shouldn’t be. However, if you ask me, the biggest risk I see from the shots is the risk of antibody-dependent-enhancement (ADE). The idea here is that we are creating widespread immunity to a single protein from the virus. If that part of the virus mutates in the right way, there could conceivably be a scenario where people who had the shot get sick WORSE than those without. For an example of this in the wild, read about what happens when you get over one type of Dengue Fever then subsequently get the other type.

If an ADE scenario were to present, the people who had full COVID and recovered would most likely be in a much better situation, because they will have developed immunity not just to the spike-protein, but also to other antigens from the virus, all of which are unlikely to mutate simultaneously.

I’m not trying to encourage panic, just self-education. Lots of people are focused on the fact that the vaccine is mRNA-based, and not on the other potentially serious issues. An interesting fact is that the Chinese Sinovac vaccine, which people have been giving a lot of crap due to “lower effectiveness” is actually a whole virus vaccine. Makes you wonder if the Chinese know something we don’t.

All this being said, I am not a biologist, so your mileage may vary.
