I don't think any of those vaccines used a new technology and were the fastest vaccine to go into global distribution though. I'm not anti-vax, but it's not just another vaccine added to the list, business as usual
Correct, the current raft of vaccinations required for US school attendance are all fairly old vaccines.
But please donāt forget that mRNA technology is itself not ānewā. Itās been in Research and Development for 50 years. This was just the first vaccine to use it.
Itās actually safer than the original technique of using āattenuatedā or Weakened virus strains. There is NOTHING in the mRNA vaccine that can āgiveā you the virus. All that is in it is the DNA required to identify the Spike proteins on the virus.
After you get the mRNA vaccines your body starts to break them down almost immediately. After about a week itās all gone and your body is then making antibodies for the payload that was in them.
I had the Pfizer vaccine and my shoulder muscles felt āfullā or sore for about 8 hours after each shot. My wife and kids all got the J&J vaccine, made with more traditional techniques, and they all felt poorly for 8-16 hours afterward.
Just to be clear, I agree with what you said. There is no evidence that the vaccine is harmful in any way, other than there were a few cases of blood clotting issues in people with a rare genetic disposition.
I'm pointing out that there is some reason for people to be sceptical of this vaccine without believing in QAnon. There's talk of 3rd doses and annual doses which also makes people more wary of a vaccine mandate
Yeah I have a friend who's been losing his sight since he was 14 due to retinitis pigmentosa. His first dose made his vision significantly more impared.
Tests were mostly done on people without disabilities, he said. So if you or anyonr you know has RP, be aware it can cause issues.
3rd, 4th or yearly vaccines are frankly a godsend if each major mutation becomes more tranmissable and deadly. We're dealing with a fluid situation that can kill a large number of people as well as overwhelm our healthcare system. Add to the fact that newer variants are more deadly for younger children and you would think people would realize wtf is going on.
It's interesting to me that this shit isn't going on in Russia, but magically taking root and causing chaos in Western societies.
