First, Roll Tide!
Second, I don’t know what your point is about not seeing me at FR before. I got a little fed up with the place when the Redditors invaded in 2016, but I’ve been an active poster since March of 2000. So, welcome to FR, noob!
Third, the Bill Gates conspiracy fever swamp is amusing, but those who have drunk that coolaid are unreachable. I’ll leave that alone then.
Fourth, if you’re skeptical of a hastily developed vaccine, I share that specific caution. Time will tell if we get a vaccine at all (color me skeptical).
Fith, my remark above was in reaction to the piece posted, that contextualized ANY CCP Virus vaccine that might be developed into the broader anti-vax movement. THAT group of people are not just ignorant, misguided fools (though they are that). They are promoting an evil idea that can, and has, resulted in actual disease and needless suffering in the world when they convince parents to, for instance, not vaccinate their children against measles.
Polio, tenanus, rubella, measles, pertussis, mumps, diphtheria, smallpox were all distant memories until the anti-vax idiots started having an influence. They should be resisted vigorously.
And a Roll Tide to you, also.
I, myself, have been a long time lurker, short time poster.
There are reasons to be suspicious of Bill Gates. Even if he isn’t involved in the vaccine, I would still be wary. Vaccines should take years or decades to develop. You can’t rush them.
I’m not an “Anti-Vaxxer”, but I don’t understand the fear over this virus. The H1N1 was much more dangerous and the CCP virus isn’t even in the neighborhood of the terrifying Spanish Flu.
I have a very powerful immune system, so I know for a fact that I won’t get this bug. In fact, only one person in my area has contracted it. It simply has not been a problem. Plus, the heat and humidity are killing any viruses.
If the CCP virus were similar to polio, smallpox, etc then yes, I would take the vaccine. But it’s not.
