Scientific reasons for waiting to get the COVID vaccine
American Thinker ^ | 07/08/2021 | Pandra Selivanov

Posted on 07/08/2021 6:25:37 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

I voted for Donald Trump twice, but that has nothing to do with my hesitancy to get the vaccine. I'm a Christian, and that has nothing to do with it, either. Even the fact that I had COVID and should be immune doesn't matter to me. My reason is based on science and science alone. It's still an experimental vaccine; it doesn't have FDA approval; and although mRNA vaccines have been studied for years, they were not used before.

My biggest fear of the vaccine is that I can't get any information about why mRNA vaccines were not used before COVID. I can Google plenty of information about how wonderful the vaccine is, but I can't find anything at all about why mRNA vaccines were not approved for human trials before.

There is a lot of invective directed at people who are hesitant about getting the vaccine. I have been called a murderer for being hesitant, and I have been accused of refusing to get the vaccine because of my political leanings. I've also been called a religious fanatic. I don't think asking about the science of mRNA vaccination means that I am a Jesus freak, a Trumpanzee, or a serial killer. When I am called these names, it doesn't make me think I should agree with the name-callers and run out to get the vaccine. It makes me think that if I am being treated hatefully for asking scientific questions, there must be something wrong with the science of the vaccine.

Is mRNA unstable and likely to cause unwanted side-effects? Does it create an unacceptably strong immune response?

Get the J&J. Steer away from the mRNA. I took Moderna and it triggered dermatitis and daily arthritis pain.

????

You took one with negative side effects so you recommend taking a different one? Why take one at all?

It’s an experimental “gene therapy” not a vaccine just to clarify.

The covid cultist and Fuaci fanatics will argue otherwise which makes it even more obvious it’s “gene therapy” not a vaccine.

There are enough people who have been vaccinated under emergency approval protocols. What is the FDA waiting for?

The FDA approval process requires follow-up data and analysis of safety, etc. for at least 6 months following vaccination, which for the mRNA vaccines means after the second shot.

Moderna and Pfizer applied for full approval in May and June, respectively, and it will take the FDA a few months to analyze and approve them. They seem to be going through their full approval process which is very thorough.

According to the propaganda they are playing nonstop on the radio in my region the ONLY reason these “vaccines” are NOT approved is because they are studying how long the vaccines are effective.

OnppBit as an aside. Even though you happened to vote formTrump twice you voted for Biden 4 times without knowing,

mRNA non-vaccines will be approved by the end of the year for political reasons, not scientific.

Even the *inventor* of the mRNA idea has said that it is too new, and foolish to rely on yet. And he was immediately banned on social media for saying so.

This is not a big vote of confidence.

Please state the causes of death of the animals in the animal trials and post links to any articles about that.

Full FDA approval will be rushed, sloppy, full of vague propaganda, and used as an excuse for mandates.

A “treatment” is used to cure something....

“Whatis the FDA waiting for?”

As I understand it, the normal approval protocol requires testing and followup for long-term effects which would delay approval for these vaccines until at least late 2022 or early 2023. The Navy wants to shorten this to get approval in September so it can require its people to get the vaccine. Given the politics of expediency, it might happen and FDA approval may be meaningless for COVID vaccines, at least those in the market right now. (We will likely see current vaccine makers demand full protocols for any future competitors.)

At this point official “approval” is corrupt and tainted and will be given for political purposes. Does anybody believe this approval will be the neutral and honest process normally used?

He can not, because animals weren’t tested with this mRNA gene therapy! Prior ones were, that’s where all the animal death information comes from! Nice and convenient isn’t, isn’t it??

My biggest problem with these so-called vaccines is that they aren’t vaccines. I have taken numerous vaccines, and one tenet of each is that they prevent re-infection. And, this lack of re-infection means that I cannot be a carrier — someone who can (unknowingly) pass the disease onto others. None of these shots accomplish that. Yes, they do seem to minimize the impact if infected — they lessen the odds of dying. But, people who have been fully “vaccinated” continue to re-infect. Bill Maher is the most noticed.
I suspect that is why the fake scientists pushing this expensive program continue to recommend masks (which, BTW, are equally ineffective). The know that these vaccines do nothing to benefit society as a whole, they do not increase herd immunity.
All they accomplish is give you a warm-fuzzy, self-righteous feeling of better protection; and big Pharm a shot at taxpayer-funded 8X2 billion shots.

This doctor says do not get injection if you have natural immunity.

This thing has more coverups than any other thing in history.

I don’t remember the videos. There were several.
Disregard if you wish... or do research.

Given when diagnosed with the Covid it is generally gone within a week.

It's generally gone within a week without those treatments.

It treats the symptoms. You still have Covid after the treatment. You are just not as sick.

Did you not see the public hearing in Texas where the animal deaths were discussed? Also several studies revealed this. You are out of the loop and way late to the game if you don’t know this info. Do some research. Don’t make others present it to you. We did our own, you can too.
