If I am dying of a disease, I will try more risky experimental medications, but if I am healthy and have a 100% survival rate? nope, not doing it.

You aren’t healthy. You have a BMI > 30 and your vo2 max is probably 18%.

Thanks for letting us know. I’m sure we were all curious.

1) I am trying to be careful here because I am NOT a Vax zealot. I have never pressured anyone to take it and I am not bothered by those that have chosen not to. I am not on a "side". I made a choice for me and I fully support 'your' right to choose for 'you' (emphasis on the larger 'you' out there)

2) But, mRNA has been around for billions of years and is in every living cell in your body right now. The only "experimental" about this process is the use of mRNA to create the spike protein replicant to train your immune system to recognize the COVID virus.



The mRNA is not some crazy mad scientist creation. It is just using a platform to use the existing processes.

There was no (usable by us) energy from splitting an atom until it was accomplished. But, the atom and the energy was there all along and the science was understood just never been technically able to accomplish it. And, much like that science breakthrough, the nation (and the world) were focused on it with scientist and resources at an unprecedented level. That is what happened here. Suddenly, every scientist that had knowledge of this platform was laser focused on using it to get to a result. In this case, the world was cooperating and sharing data to speed it along.

We have an excellent understanding of vaccine methodology and immune response.


Again, this is not to say anything negative about those that choose to abstain from taking the vaccine. It is simply my reasoning and understanding of the situation.

What I don’t understand, and would like to, is what people are concerned will happen with vaccine and NOT with Covid.
Simplified comparison:
Vax: enters cell and deposits mRNA
Cells own machinery uses mRNA to make one protein that the virus contains
Body creates immune response to said protein.
mRNA degrades.

Virus: enters cell and deposits mRNA
Cells own machinery uses mRNA to make MANY proteins that the virus contains, including same one vaccine makes, and in much larger numbers as virus replicates.
Body creates immune response to said proteins.
mRNA degrades.

I’m with BHP in the sense that I’m not a vax zealot. People need to do what they think best. But I think there’s a lot of misunderstanding out there about what the shot does

You have a 100% stupidity rate.
