They are safe, if you also believe the bat did it and the release was accidental! We just had a freind, who like Trump got and recovered from covid last winter. Felt great by a few weeks ago, so took the vaccine, and set out for the Fla. trip they missed. He is now hospitalized with blood clots - one of those vaccine side effects! One mfg. website said people would die follwoing the vaccine in teh months to come, but it is not the vaccine! No, it is what the mRNA deos to our immune system that kill us, if you want to mince words. Your immune system is lessened and overridden by this mRNA covid19 specific injections, and it covers nothing else. Your immune system is overpowered by the vaccine, and is too weak to stop the organs from being destroyed in the battle. Your immune system will never be as strong nor the same once mRNA injection is there, to be followed by other virus specific mRNA shots, until no normal immunity exists. No Tcell immunity, There is no way to undo the vaccine, it is part of you, and that is not really good. Thus, the prediction that mllions, maybe billions will die in the coming year. Blod clots, brain bleeding, exposure to other new strains not covered. Do you really think what Nancy, or Commie Harris took is what you re getting? Who knows what they gave Rand Paul, and I would bet Trump got what you get. We were are are duped!

Words don’t seem to have normal meanings to leftists. Everything is called racist, but isn’t by the true definition of racism

Makes perfect sense to me. Stick around a very sick person with regular flu for a long time and u are more likely to catch it

I think it might be more useful to read the studies which do show the efficacy and safety of the vaccines.

Yep. And, I really enjoyed hearing him when he said that. It's a no-brainer...

I agree totally. It should be up to the individual.

You are correct about the exposure and susceptibility. This has been a mainstay of my work for years and you are correct. I got in a brief, heated debate the other day with a State health specialist because I pointed out that people with strong symptoms are more dangerous to others. They didn't like that because of the media/government approach of scaring people ("Oh, people with no symptoms are dangerous!")

That's hate speech...haha...

Safe has always been that not more than a certain number of bad reactions occur with the use or application of some substance . The GRAS (generally recognized as safe for food additives) works well, though as with any substance, there will be some bad affects and possibly some deaths for those relatively few for whom their bodies react adversely.
The vaccines will be determined as safe enough when tens millions of people are vaccinated to find out whether the cost benefit ratio is low enough. They will be withdrawn when the cost benefit ratio gets too high. Those who have sensitivities to some substance should not keep everyone else getting whatever the benefits there are for most all people.
The main thing is that no one, even the young be forced to use the vaccine. Of course, parents believe it necessary to force their young to eat, sleep, believe with the idea that it is good for the child. It is not force if a requirement for some private employment or school attendance, don't like it, go elsewhere.

Thanks for that link, starbird.

I think it depends on the severity and length of the exposure and your immune system strength at the time and in a short time thereafter.

I hope the vaccine I just finished taking adds to my immune system. I am not going to test it by doing something stupid of course.

I have to insert this wisdom here. My mother said this 10,000 times when I was growning up. Please use it as it applies, including to these vaccine assurances. Please bear in mind I grew up in NY.

Oh so now you want the States to fight between themselves, just another division (just kidding, but to be sure I'd even trade you my two Senators for yours whoever they may be). I think Kentucky is a beautiful State.

Sure. The J&J offers a known risk with the style it is. The mRNA vaccines are an unknown because they use a different approach, affecting the RNA of the cells, and not being subjected to animal trials nor evaluation of long-term effects. Good luck. The mRNA do not use adjuvants and, frankly, I think adjuvants when used without caution may be extremely harmful. You're thinking it through - which is nice.

I hope it works out well. I can relate. I do wear my N95 mask sometimes when needed - because it works. The other masks do not. I colleague of mine caught COVID in a construction site visit where all those surgical masks were being warn.

Yes. This is why some other medications recently took this path (non-vaccine being classified as a vaccine). My dad, who suffered from MG, once told me about a drug that he was thinking about taking for MG. It was called a vaccine but it wasn't - for this very reason. My dad, ultimately, died due to his love of vaccines. When he caught the COVID he was in no shape to fight it. Killed him pretty easily. His immune system was swiss cheese after years of repeated vaccines...

Although lemmings are a great metaphor, I believed in the myth of suicide until one of my students wrote a paper about it a few years ago.

Taking the CCP vaccination should be an individual decision. I chose to take it, but that is my decision.

My post was prompted by this video. Without any commentary from the host, who I appreciate for the most part, he presented this video montage. I would have thought he was being cynical or sarcastic, but without commentary the only conclusion is that he, like Rand Paul has done a 180 about this 'vaccine.' Needless to say, no matter what others tell me (and there are many) I will not take this stuff into my system u less I determine its needed, and then maybe not. I don't trust the lot. https://www.bitchute.com/video/8oAq3B...

What is the difference between how the Johnson & Johnson vaccine works and how the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines work?
The ultimate difference is the way the instructions are delivered. The Moderna and Pfizer vaccines use mRNA technology, and the Johnson & Johnson vaccine uses the more traditional virus-based technology.
mRNA is essentially a little piece of code that the vaccine delivers to your cells. The code serves as an instruction manual for your immune system, teaching it to recognize the virus that causes COVID-19 and attack it, should it encounter the real thing.

Instead of using mRNA, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine uses a disabled adenovirus to deliver the instructions. This adenovirus is in no way related to the coronavirus. It is a completely different virus. Although it can deliver the instructions on how to defeat the coronavirus, it can’t replicate in your body and will not give you a viral infection.

Are there benefits to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, based on its technology?
Absolutely. The huge advantage to the Johnson & Johnson vaccine is that it is a single shot. The mRNA vaccine requires two.

As well, the Johnson & Johnson vaccine can be kept at essentially refrigerator temperatures for months, and it’s stable. The mRNA vaccines aren’t as stable and require super cold storage temperatures. Once they’re out of cold storage, you only have a small window of time to administer them.

The Johnson & Johnson vaccine is much more like a regular vaccine and is much easier to distribute and maintain. That has huge implications for rural areas of the country. Those areas might not have the ability to keep the mRNA vaccines at super cold temperatures.

I think Trumps statements indicate people can choose to have it or not.

I have heard Trump speak of the operation Warp speed and the success of it fast track. I have listened closely to him and have never heard him speak of it’s safety. I have heard him say “some people will want it and some don’t “ “ they are free to choose”

Now, Plugs Biden wouldn't be lying to us, would he?
(Sometimes, I crack myself up!)

I have to disagree just a tad on including Rand Paul in that list of advocates for the vaccine. He's my Senator -- the only intellectual Constitutionalist of the two from Kentucky. He's not PUSHING the vaccine. He is simply advocating for people making an educated choice as to whether or not they should get it. I think that's different from actually endorsing it.

If it wasn't for Senator Paul and my Congressman, Thomas Massie, I would probably not EVER admit that I'm a Kentuckian! ;-)
