    they dont even know if this will cause birth defects or cancer in
    people that got the shot. not enough time has passed.

    The last comment is a good point! The rollout is to the "vulnerable" seniors first, and if they die (from anything) ..well, they were old anyway, right? :/

    It's unlikely, based on the contents of the vaccine. the suspension ingredients are similar to vaccines we've been giving people for decades.

    the only thing that's new is the mRNA stuff. Which can be confusing if you don't understand how immune systems work.

    Think of the vaccine like sending your immune system an e-mail that says "be on the lookout for a thing that looks like this", and contains a picture of said thing. The e-mail also contains information on how to get rid of the thing, should you encounter it.

    after awhile, the e-mail disappears, like a snapchat message.

    Interesting analogy. But what is the science to describe how the e-mail disappears? Many things from drugs and carcinogens remain and accumulate in our bodies over time.

    I glanced at the ingredient list for the vaccine suspension/delivery system, and I don't see any heavy metals. Here's the ingredient list for the Moderna vaccine:

    The Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine contains the following ingredients: messenger ribonucleic acid
    (mRNA), lipids (SM-102, polyethylene glycol [PEG] 2000 dimyristoyl glycerol [DMG],
    cholesterol, and 1,2-distearoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine [DSPC]), tromethamine,
    tromethamine hydrochloride, acetic acid, sodium acetate, and sucrose.


    I'm not a doctor, or a chemist. However I don't see anything in there that seems to indicate any form of heavy metal that would accumulate in your system.

    It's also a very short list of ingredients compared to other vaccines.

    Polyethylene Glycol is a powerful anti-freezer that is used in thermosolar heat generators. Here in Spain we used to use either that or Ethylene Glycol. Also used in the cosmetics industry mecause it makes creams more consistent.

    It is toxic as heck and classified as a dangerous substance. If you need to dispose of it you need to hire a toxic waste disposal firm.

    That may be true for certain quantities, but polyethylene glycol is also
    used as an over-the-counter laxative.

    All things are poison, and nothing is without poison, the dosage alone makes
    it so a thing is not a poison.

    Polyethylene Glycol is safe at the right quantities. I've worked with it a long in the manufacture of human consumables.

    That's why poisons are often measured based on LD50 (The amount of a material, when given all at once causes the death of 1/2 of the group of test subjects)

    The LD50 of water is 6 Liters. Caffeine is around 150-200mg per kg of body mass. (75-100 cups of coffee for an average adult).

    Alcohol is ... strangely difficult to find an accurate amount for. a BAC of 0.4% appears to be the general consensus, which would be about 12 shots of 80 proof liquor for a 150lb man.

    After figuring that out, I really think I should have purchased more lottery tickets when I was younger...

    COVID is a weird disease, and I imagine that we're only seeing the beginning of this even now, almost a year in.

    I TOTALLY agree, COVID is a one of a kind. Months later, I'm having a few unexplainable and new medical issues. I'm a diabetic, I have Crohn's/Colitus, and Rhumatoid Athritus. My glucose levels sometimes shoot high when I stay on task or not. I've been having random muscle spasms that sometimes are VERY painful. I've told my doctors about my new issues and they have no explaination for it. I'm curious to see what the after effects of COVID years later. If I'm having these issues now, who knows what other issues might come up later. Now there are new strains of COVID. It's pretty scary...

    the best thing you can do is get yourself as healthy as possible.

    you WILL get covid again. we have no way of stopping it from spreading. infact, some of what we are doing is keeping covid around. covid wasn't allowed to run its course.

    How to stop Covid from spreading. It's the same as any other respatory virus.

    - Vaccinate
    - Masks
    - Social Distancing
    - Contact tracing

    Your theory that it needs to "run its course" is hogwash.

    Amen. I'm in healthcare and it's horrifying how many people are balking at just the first of those options. Like, people willing to leave their jobs to avoid vaccination (it has become a condition of employment, as personnel here are in contact with vulnerable populations).

    I've been vaccinated now. Yeah, that second shot sucked and I felt like crap for 36 hours but... it's not COVID. People seem to think that this is a new vaccine that's been rushed through, when we've had this vaccine for years. We developed it to fight SARS back in 2009 and, since COVID is a SARS variant, it just required a little tweaking. But I'm seeing people believing that they're guinea pigs for "big pharma" on this, and that this vaccine will make them have seizures for no reason, or will somehow make things worse. Even the nurses that administered my shots were like, "Eh, I'm going to wait this one out." Incredible.

    When you can't get past step one, and people are actively fighting mask mandates and contact tracing is considered a privacy invasion... I don't see how any of this is going to end quickly. And that's depressing as hell, because we've already lost over half a million people in the US alone.

    Yikes.

    It does not help that lab people who has been in the vaccine business for a few decades tell you that they are skipping the vaccine for at least 5 years or so.
