The mRNA shot is:

  1. Not FDA approved

  2. Rushed to market in only 10 months meanwhile regular vaccines have 2-3 years of review, and that's despite this being an entirely new technology

  3. Producers are protected from any liability or lawsuit

  4. Pushed hard in an atmosphere of fear that is being amplified by the media

  5. Not brought to market repeatedly for 10 years because it kept killing the test animals after they got the disease they were supposed to be vaccinated against, but now suddenly it's fixed somehow?

  6. Lots of pharma companies are making a lot of money by rushing products to market that aren't fully tested

  7. It's been shown in the past most of these same companies have knowingly sold tainted drugs that killed people, to make money

So yeah, I think I'll pass for now, thanks. mRNA gene therapy does seem like a useful tool for a lot of diseases, it is a genuine medical technology breakthrough for literally hundreds of diseases. But we have to figure out how to use it safely first, not just rush in to it because there is a high-demand situation that is profitable for these companies.

When the spanish flu was happening was when Aspirin was invented. Many people who died, died from Aspirin's damage to their kidneys because doctors didn't know the proper dosage yet and weren't aware of the kidney damage! So they were giving it out like candy, because of the demand created by the fear from the spanish flu, and it killed large numbers of people.

So many millions already had COVID (including myself) so what purpose would there be to rush out and take a vaccine from a virus you've already recovered from? I get it if you hadn't had COVID and are 80, but for so many of my friends who are in their 40s and lots of people in their 30s and younger, and some even talking about getting their kids vaccinated so they don't have to quarantine, like WTF????

Humans are a herd animal, and only a single digit percentage have functional intelligence. Most of the rest blindly do as they're told.

I agree. Only reason I'm getting it is because my health is jacked up and I don't want to be in the hospital in a ventilator. Healthy people are getting and recovery like if they had the flu. The rest Of us who are either super old or have really bad preexisting conditions should be getting it.

Antivirals as a preventative or when you get sick are probably a better alternative.

Ivermectin has been shown repeatedly to be the most effective antiviral against covid. 99.9% of patients who get it in the early stage of covid dont progress to severe form covid and most people show symptom improvment and negative PCR withing 48 hrs.

It is also incredibly cheap and easy to get. And its a very safe drug, its been around 50 years.
