Do people honestly think that what amounts to basically a flu shot is going to kill them?

Some people do. Yes. You've heard of anti-vaxxers, right?verb_to_trust wrote:Do people honestly think that what amounts to basically a flu shot is going to kill them?

No surprise but New Orleans has cancelled the Mardi Gras parades for next year.

I think it's important to keep in mind that although they have a loud voice and pop up frequently while we doom scroll, anti vax loonies are not the majority.elliseamos wrote:Some people do. Yes.

Some people actually do have very adverse reactions to vaccines. The overwhelming majority do not, but let's not pretend it's impossible as that feeds the conspiracy.

If you think the technology being used is anything like the flu shot then you haven't read up on it. It's pretty cool and the first time it will be used across such a wide portion of the world's population.verb_to_trust wrote:Do people honestly think that what amounts to basically a flu shot is going to kill them?

Like other vaccines, mRNA vaccines work by training the immune system to recognize a threat like a virus and begin producing antibodies to protect itself. But while traditional vaccines often use inactivated doses of the organisms that cause disease, mRNA vaccines are designed to make the body produce those proteins itself. Messenger RNA—a molecule that contains instructions for cells to make DNA—is injected into cells. In the case of COVID-19, mRNA vaccines provide instructions for cells to start producing the “spike” protein of the new coronavirus, the protein that helps the virus get into cells. On its own, the spike protein isn’t harmful. But it triggers the immune system to begin a defensive response. As Bill Gates, who has supported companies like Moderna and BioNTech through the Gates Foundation, has described it, “you essentially turn your body into its own manufacturing unit.”
....
If the new vaccines works, it will be a first for this type of technology—but it may not mean mRNA will be an easy solution to vaccines for other viruses. “There are a few realities that I think you have to acknowledge,” says Beyrer. “The first is that there have been many attempts to use this technology in this mRNA and platform for vaccines for other diseases, and none of them have made it to licensure. So, this is an unproven technology at this point.” Still, he says, there are reasons for optimism now, both for mRNA vaccines and others. Scientists feel confident that they have the right target—the spike protein—and because natural immunity is strong in many people who are infected, it suggests that vaccine-induced immunity is also effective.

Hell no. I'll take it the first day I can, get my passport stamp and take a real vacation. But this is not the flu shot, not even remotely.verb_to_trust wrote:So you're not going to take it?

Did anyone ever establish whether the US contract for coronavirus research at that lab included gain of function work? It would be kind of hilarious if this happened because of something we paid for, but China was too worried about saving face to point the finger back at us.Bi_3 wrote:https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/global-opinions/the-coronaviruss-origins-are-still-a-mystery-we-need-a-full-investigation/2020/11/13/cbf4390e-2450-11eb-8672-c281c7a2c96e_story.html
