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

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?

The animals all experienced autoimmune responses - their immune systems attacking their own organs - after being immunized and then later exposed to live SARS viruses post-immunization:

Note, this autoimmune response wasn’t limited to the RNA-based vaccine, but happened with all the mice, even the ones give the other 3 types of vaccines:

“challenge of mice given any of the vaccines led to occurrence of Th2-type immunopathology suggesting hypersensitivity to SARS-CoV components was induced. Caution in proceeding to application of a SARS-CoV vaccine in humans is indicated.”

I didn’t mean to sound rude. I thought your post was demanding instead of curious. You also sounded skeptical to ask the way you did. This info has been out there for months and in the studies so it would seem to demand the answers the way your post read to me, seemed a bit off putting. Perhaps I misunderstood your tone.

Moderna is in stage 3 trials which are to take 24 to 25 months from approx. 12/2020

They shouldn’t get approved til the results are in.

“Remember - J&J was suspended by the CDC for 2 weeks because of several cases of post-vaccination THROMBOSIS”

There were 6 women who had blood clots before the suspension. That is not many compared to other things that have happened from the “vaccines”.

IF I take one of these vaccines, it will be the J&J vaccine.
