-Removed-Young fellow down east (Trump country) had a huge bait and tackle shop. Used to follow him on FB. He loved to post pictures of people with big red drum they caught on his lures.
One day, his wife started posting, said he had the COVID. Each day, a little more severe. Heartbreaking to see how hopeful she was.
He died of respiratory failure. His shop closed.
About a million Americans died before their time.
@spruce112358 saidYou are describing a traditional vaccine. Surely you know that is not how mRNA COVID vaccines work.
If you take that same cold virus, kill it, and put it in your bloodstream,

@Sleepyguy saidYes. And some vaccines feature live but attenuated virus.

We may eventually get to that part of the course.
EDIT: Polio before 2000 (OPV) was a live but much weakened virus. If you ate the sugar cube, that was live polio virus. There have been a tiny number of cases of very immunocompromised people contracting polio from the vaccine itself. Docs don't always read labels and understand them, either.
But you can't catch COVID from the mRNA vaccine - the vaccine is not the whole virus and doesn't contain the instructions to make the whole virus.
@Sleepyguy saidmRNA vaccines work by taking a small piece of a dead virus, and putting it in the body such that cells innocently begin synthesizing viral proteins.

The body then detects these viral proteins, reacts in horror, assumes there is an invasion, and starts ringing the alarm bells - synthesizing antibodies to fight back.
The COVID vaccine doesn't introduce whole viruses - just parts of them.
@spruce112358 saidOMG I'm not even going to bother.

I am very sorry for the turbo cancer, myocarditis, and muscle atrophy some in this thread will get. Who in their right mind trust the government and Big Pharma?
Ivermectin here. 1 day of symptoms. Then all over. However, I battled curfews, lockdowns, threat of termination, legal battles, ban from supermarkets and restaurants, forced nozzle, and beating and water cannon at the hands of riot police stomping on peaceful protesters.
We are not the same.
@DJJ saidThe vaccine does not prevent you from contracting the disease. The manufacturers never said it would either. What the vaccine does, what the manufacturers said it would do, is statistically significantly reduce the likelihood that you would die of it, if you caught it. Stop getting your 'news' from twitter; read the leaflet that comes with the drug.
Then why do the vaccinated still get covid and are still able to transmit it? Some vaccine.
