Took the mRNA jab, once or twice. He had a stroke 3 weeks later.
If I see him this weekend, Lord willing, I'll confirm the details again.

The billions of mRNA vaccine doses that went into arms worldwide during the COVID-19 pandemic build on clinical trial data confirming the safety and effectiveness of a vaccine technology now poised to personalize cancer treatment, according to a new review.
Dr. Manish Sadarangani, director of the Vaccine Evaluation Centre at B.C. Children's Hospital, and his co-authors combed through published data from laboratory research, clinical trials and real-world surveillance from Pfizer-BioNTech’s and Moderna’s mRNA vaccines from January 2020 through December 2025 to assess their scientific and public health impacts.
In Tuesday's issue of the medical journal The Lancet, the researchers highlighted one analysis showing mRNA vaccines had 87 per cent effectiveness against documented infection with the virus that causes COVID-19 and 94 per cent against mortality two to six weeks after vaccination. But the continual arrival of new viral variants means the effectiveness might change.
"We thought it was really important to have a resource where people can really understand what we know about this technology and what we know about these vaccines, where they have come from and where they may be going in the future," Sadarangani told CBC News.
The mRNA vaccines built on decades of research that was quickly scaled up for regulators to approve and for manufacturers to produce and distribute during the COVID pandemic.
Instead of using a weakened component of a live virus like a traditional vaccine, mRNA vaccines deliver a genetic code that acts as a set of instructions for our cells to make the virus's spike protein. The spike protein is harmless on its own, but teaches our immune systems to recognize this foreign invader and learn to destroy it.
Put side-effects in context
One core finding, the study's authors said, is that while heart-related inflammation called myocarditis and pericarditis are very rare side-effects of the mRNA vaccines, getting COVID itself puts people at far greater risk of the same heart issues.
The vaccine-associated heart events also tended to be more mild than ones from the virus, said Matthew Miller, a virologist and scientific director of the DeGroote Institute for Infectious Disease Research at McMaster University in Hamilton.
"It's a signal we should watch out for," Miller said, calling the information on heart-related side-effects useful and important. "But it's also important to contextualize … the relative infrequency of that adverse event in relation to the clear, overarching benefit of vaccination."
Miller, who was not involved in the Lancet review, called it a clear and concise summary of a large topic.
Looking back, Miller says much of the resistance in some pockets of the population to mRNA vaccines weren't about the shots themselves, but likely reflected freedom of choice stances.
"It was this association of vaccines with being forced to be vaccinated rather than an inherent issue with the vaccine itself that led to I think to a lot of pushback," he said.
If the public feels the medical and scientific establishment have been open and transparent about both the benefits of and adverse reactions to mRNA vaccines, then Miller says he thinks trust can be bolstered overall.
Using mRNA technology to treat other diseases
The authors of the review also looked ahead to the future of mRNA in treating cancer and autoimmune diseases.
While vaccines teach the immune system to recognize and destroy pathogens, Miller said they can also teach the immune system to recognize and destroy tumours.
Could mRNA vaccines cure cancer?
Dr. Ramy Saleh, an associate professor of oncology at Montreal's McGill University, is part of a global randomized clinical trial evaluating an mRNA-based approach to treating bladder cancer.
The mRNA vaccines for cancer are custom built for each patient's tumour, Saleh said.
First, surgeons remove the tumour. Next, scientists sequence it to find mutations specific to the tumour that aren't found in the patient's healthy DNA. Finally, a personalized mRNA therapy is given to prime the patient's immune system to find and attack lingering cancer cells.
"The logic behind it is if our immune system knows that there are cancer cells and attacks them, the chances of a relapse or the cancer coming back will be much lower and the chances of a cure increase," Saleh said.

Safe AND EFFECTIVE!
Nobody who took the vaccine ever caught the disease.
Always wear a mask.
Still no here.
The Fauci Flu vaccines were somewhat effective in curing folks of their trust in the medical ‘experts’.
Dr. Fauci’s bizarre fame fixation as COVID deaths mounted revealed in newly released diaries
The “covid” injection uses human microbiology to create the spike protein.
The spike protein then wreaks havoc in the bloodstream.
Via the inflammatory response, for example, which leads to things like microvascular disease.
Microvascular disease leads to strokes and heart attacks.
PureBlood forever
Total BS.
I don’t know anyone that knows anyone that had ill effects from the vaccine.
I do have one relative that had COVID and was hospitalized. He said he sure regretted not getting the vaccine.
I’m gonna die of something but a mRNA injection isn’t one of them.
I know of three, most notably our kid's boss. She was completely messed up health-wise immediately after the vaccine. Idiot finally got better after several months of treatment, was told to get a booster, and ended up in the hospital less than 24 hours later.
I know of zero.
Still waiting for those millions of hospitalizations and deaths that were predicted by the vaccine conpiracists.
And I know of three. Your answer is no better than mine, and my answer is no better than yours. But I know of three people who got sick enough to end up in the hospital, one for several weeks, and a repeat, extended visit after a booster. You answer of zero doesn’t change their outcomes.
Once upon a time the Lancet was a medical journal. Hasn’t been for decades. I don’t buy a single thing they print.
An ex-girlfriend of mine got the shot and was hospitalized for weeks. She is now incapable of running her restaurant, and has been informed by several doctors that if she had gotten a second shot she definitely would not have survived the side effects from it.
Another friend died three days after getting the first booster. A case of “suddenly”.
Yet a third friend is on her ninth booster, and is always sick. She was healthy as a horse before the injections.
Anecdotal evidence yes, but your claims are just as anecdotal.
I know of nobody that did not get get the shot that regrets it. I know many that did get the shot and do regret that decision.
“”””I don’t know anyone that knows anyone that had ill effects from the vaccine.

My wifes oncologist said she has been dealing with a lot of serious side effects in some of her patients who took the shot.
My sons oncologist will not take the shots.
But “believe in the science” that the government bureaucrats make up.
