*****You trust this poison? Interesting how you avoided all the other side effects.

Solicited adverse events that occurred in more than half the participants included fatigue, chills, headache, myalgia, and pain at the injection site,” the report states. Fever, joint pain and nausea were also reported.

Sounds fun.*****

99.98 recovery rate and they want to track my every purchase, movement like I am a slave. And then to top it off they want to alter my DNA/RNA so they can patent me? I don’t think so.

"99.98 recovery rate and they want to track my every purchase, movement like I am a slave. And then to top it off they want to alter my DNA/RNA so they can patent me? I don’t think so."

There's a lot to unpack here. Let's start with "99.98% recovery rate". The Infection Fatality rate for SARS-CoV-2 is 0.64 - 0.66%. That means 99.34 - 99.36% survival. Of those who survive, some number (difficult to find an actual statistic right now) have been shown to have significant damage to their heart, lungs, and/or brain, likely due to unusual blood clots and (in the case of the lungs) massive damage to the epithelial tissue, leaving the alveoli exposed for easy infection. At least some of this scarring is likely lifelong. So bring that number down somewhat further.

As for "track my every purchase, movement like I am a slave", I can only guess that's a reference to contact tracing, and that would require a complete misunderstanding of what contact tracing is or how it works. The idea is that if I turn up positive for COVID-19, someone works with me to identify situations where I was recently in close proximity with other people for extended periods where I may have exposed them to my infection. This is completely voluntary. I can then choose to notify those people myself that I've tested positive and they should get tested and/or isolate themselves, or the contact tracer can do it for me - anonymously - if I choose to provide them with contact information.

If you and I had lunch together, and you work at a nursing home or a hospital or you regularly spend time with someone who might die from COVID-19 if they get it (like a friend or family member with medical conditions), you probably would like to know that I tested positive so you don't run around infecting those people. I know that I would rather know if I've been exposed. I have family and friends who I would avoid seeing for a couple weeks if I had reason to believe I was infected because I know they probably wouldn't survive a COVID-19 infection.

Finally, this "alter my DNA/RNA so they can patent me" piece is utter nonsense. That's not how Moderna's vaccine candidate or any third generation mRNA vaccine works. Your DNA is not altered. It isn't touched. How it actually works is that the mRNA instructions find a ribosome in your cells and that ribosome takes the instructions and produces a glycoprotein (completely normal activity for a ribosome) which happens to be the antigen for the target pathogen (SARS-CoV-2 in this case). The antigen by itself is completely harmless, but it's foreign and your body reacts to it the same way it would if it were an actual SARS-CoV-2 infection: by producing antibodies and forming T-cell and B-cell responses that create lasting immunity to future infections.

That's it. Your body simply produces some harmless proteins that get destroyed by your immune system and the benefit is that if SARS-CoV-2 ever infects you, your immune system immediately recognizes it and destroys it. No DNA is changed. No RNA is changed. Nothing like that ever happens.
