It seems that FreeRepublic is only a forum for anti vax fraudsters. This is like the hysteria preceding the French Revolution. We all know that these vaccines are only marginally effective at forestalling disease. (Much like the past years of flu vaccine. The mRNA bits and pieces disintegrate within 48 hrs in the body. Many of the adverse effects could be from improper shot placement. I follow John Campbell from the UK. His reasoned scientific approach is very helpful. As long as were going anecdotal. I’ve had several generations of my family vaccinated and none have had serious ailments. Meanwhile I know of several anti vaxxers that have succumbed to this disease.
I have no problems with vaccines. I do, however, have a problem with several layers of society trying to coerce the others into receiving what are actual experimental therapies against their will. I caved to getting a shot, and I regret it. I see an immunologist in January because my lymph system has gone haywire, and I have a very painful submandibular node that is now over 5.7cm (2.25in) in size, along with a number of others all over my body which are equally painful though not as large.
Each time I catch something, from a mere cold to pneumonia, my lymph nodes blow up. Everywhere. More pop up each time, and considering they are literally just about everywhere, like around your heart and brain, that’s worrisome.
Did I mention that I’m only 34?
As I said, I have no problem with real vaccines like the MMR, Polio, TB, etc. Those have a proven track record of preventing transmission and infection with minimal adverse effects in comparison to the EUA shots being pushed by the CDC.
The other major issue I have is that there is no oversight. Usually, pharma companies develop vaccines and the CDC and FDA observe to keep the companies in line. That is no longer the case, as the alphabet agencies which once forced safety have now gotten involved in the process, thus eliminating oversight.
Lastly, the approval of a Pfizer shot was smoke and mirrors. Comirnaty isn’t available in the US, meaning anything pushed on the public now isn’t the “approved” shot; and I say, “shot” because, as I mentioned, vaccines prevent infection and transmission, while these EUA therapies do not. They don’t even decrease viral loads, least of all in the nose and throat where it most easily breeds, and allow the infected to spread the virus to others.
Think of the virus as you, and the EUA shot as a difficult boss level in Super Mario. You keep trying over and over and over until you clear the level and beat the boss, right? Same thing for the virus. It mutates until it can take out the boss, then moves on to the next level and does it all over again. This is why we see all these variants popping up all over the place.
