Previous respiratory syncytial virus and dengue virus vaccine studies revealed human clinical safety risks related to ADE, resulting in failed vaccine trials."  https://www.nature.com/articles/s41564-020-00789-5    Appreciate anyone else that can explain this like we're 5.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 (edited) 43 minutes ago, reddogblitz said:  Come on, man.   Breakthrough COVID infections after vaccination can lead to long-haul symptoms, Israeli study shows   Nearly 3% of medical workers in a new Israeli study contracted COVID-19 even though they were vaccinated, and 19% of them still had symptoms six weeks later.  Although the vaccines were never expected to be perfect, the findings raise questions about their protection and suggest that even vaccinated people could experience long-term symptoms such as such as fatigue, brain fog and shortness of breath.  Dr. Ashish Jha, dean of the Brown University School of Public Health, said he finds it concerning – though not conclusive – that people had lingering symptoms weeks after getting sick.  "There really may be a risk here, but we don't know how big a risk and how much of a problem it is," he said.  Most of the people in the study who got sick had mild symptoms, and none were hospitalized.  But Jha said he is troubled by the fact that young, healthy people would get so-called breakthrough infections within a few months of vaccination. Scientists expected protection to wane over time, and they expected the vaccines to be less effective among older people and those with pre-existing health conditions. But that's not who got sick in this study.....  Coronavirus vaccines were never designed to perfectly protect people against all infections, noted Dr. Eric Topol, a cardiologist who founded and directs the Scripps Research Translational Institute in California.  He said current vaccines are great at preventing serious infection deep in the lungs, but not at blocking infection in the upper airways. What's needed, he said, is a nasal-spray vaccine that would stop the coronavirus from taking hold at all....  "Don't take the delta stress test. Keep a mask on," he said. "With the vaccine, you can be confident, but you can't be 100% confident."  https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2021/07/28/breakthrough-covid-19-infections-can-lead-long-term-symptoms-study/5399083001/   Take from this what you will.  One week ago I was told this:    None of it matters when you move the goal posts 500000000000 times and set no metrics.   People are done. Kids are at risk of having their entire high school lives ruined with what we're doing.    What is the end game? There clearly isn't one.   That's THE PROBLEM. We aren't governed by the CDC and "science!" that's been politicized.  None of what we're doing based on THEIR METRICS (that change monthly) should tell you this is over when _____  If you can't do that, you're lying and don't deserve our compliance. Edited July 29, 2021 by Big Blitz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 15 minutes ago, Doc Brown said: You stated above he was the inventor of the mRNA vaccines.   It's what I initially found in my quick background check of him after the interview (I try).  I dug deeper:  According to the New York Times, "For her entire career, Dr. Kariko has focused on messenger RNA, or mRNA — the genetic script that carries DNA instructions to each cell’s protein-making machinery. She was convinced mRNA could be used to instruct cells to make their own medicines, including vaccines." While Malone's research may have been important, scientific breakthroughs don't always boast a sole "inventor." Instead, they come about through the work of many. UPDATE: Malone reached out to Logically, stating that he did not invent the mRNA vaccines, but instead the "vaccine technology platform." He also presented us with copies of nine patents – none of which showed that he invented the mRNA vaccines.  https://www.logically.ai/factchecks/library/3aa2eef    Enough for me to be good with him knowing what he's talking about.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted July 29, 2021 Share Posted July 29, 2021 Initial find:   The man who invented the mRNA technology used in some coronavirus vaccines says he was censored by YouTube for sharing his concerns on the vaccines in a podcast.  "[O]ne of my concerns are that the government is not being transparent with us about what those risks are. And so, I'm of the opinion that people have the right to decide whether to accept a vaccine or not, especially since these are experimental vaccines," said Dr. Robert Malone during a Wednesday segment on Fox News's Tucker Carlson Tonight, saying YouTube deleted a video of him speaking about the associated risks.  Opening the segment, Carlson shared some studies showing heart inflammation and death correlating with the use of the vaccines.  "A Norwegian study conducted of 100 nursing home residents who died after receiving Pfizer's corona shots. They found that at least 10 of those deaths were likely caused by the vaccine. 10%," Carlson said.  That's one of my other objections, is that we toss about these words, risk-benefit analysis, casually as if it's a very deep science. It's not. Normally, at this stage, the CDC [Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices] would have performed those risk-benefit analyses. They would be data-based and science-based. They're not right now," Malone said.  Malone also said he has "a bias that the benefits probably don't outweigh the risks" for younger people who are being encouraged or required to take the vaccine.  "I can say that the risk-benefit ratio for those 18 and below doesn't justify vaccines, and there's a pretty good chance that it doesn't justify vaccination in these very young adults," he added.  Malone discovered in-vitro and in-vivo RNA transfection when he was at the Salk Institute in 1988, and he subsequently invented mRNA vaccines, which are being used over 20 years later to combat the spread of the coronavirus.  https://news.yahoo.com/single-most-qualified-mrna-expert-173600060.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, how is this something to be surprised about? Viruses mutate. Can we predict the specific mutations? No. I'm not saying that. But as a general rule the become more contagious but less lethal. And there are other variants already out there besides the Delta.  And yes scientists don't all agree but the ones that don't agree with the official narrative get silenced, blocked from social media, have their you tube videos taken down, get criticized by media shills. Don't get to speak their peace. Which causes others to not speak out of fear. Which suppresses the process of scientific discovery we all depend on.  And the CDC and NIH story keeps changing about the vaccine. First the story is COVID vaccines are safe and effective and provide immunity to the virus. So get your shot, take your mask off, and resume normal life. Now the story is vaccines will not keep you from getting infected but will protect you from serious and critical illness so even vaccinated people need to wear a mask again. The problem is that characterization doesn't meet the standards for classifying the active agent as a vaccine. That description applies to treatments. Equivalent to Tami-flu for influenza. So I guess its not really a vaccine. But we already have safe and effective treatments, approved and awaiting approval, for people that are at low risk of getting a serious and critical case. All without the unknown risks of adverse long term impacts of the mRNA gene therapy "vaccines". MABS from companies like Lily and Regeneron. Others awaiting approval from companies like Humanigen. And we know who is at "high risk" of developing a serious and critical case so we can customize responses and protections for those specific individuals. And there are effective treatments for these cases too, approved and awaiting approval. And we know children under 18 have as close to zero chance of death as can be measured. So we need some sort of policy "time out" or a big reset here. Because they're headed down the blanket lock down and restrictions path again. That didn't stop it before and it won't stop it now. So the choice is the virus is going to spread and you can screw up the economy. Or the virus is going to spread and you do not screw up the economy.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
