My aunt took my grandfather to get vaccinated, because he demanded it. She’s completely anti-covid vax. Anyways, she audio recorded the conversation with the nurse and the nurse admitted that the vaccine doesn’t prevent him from catching Covid, it just makes it way less dangerous. Um, okay.

I need to have her send me the audio and post it on here.

This is correct. It makes the body prepared to recognize when it encounters the S-protein, or whatever it is called, that forms the spikes on the virus. The mRNA vaccine instructs cells to make these proteins which in turn causes and immune response as the body learns to identify and target them.

I don’t know about the safety or anything except frail elderly shouldn’t be taking the vaccine because the immune response can kill them.

Personally, I won’t take the vaccine but unfortunately my spouse who is a medical doctor needs to...

Yeah, mRNA vaccines have a LOT of promise in their ability to be extremely targeted... but they have ZERO history of long-term safety in humans.

The media likes to spin that and say they "pose no known long-term risk to humans."

I am like "Well, no shit, because we know NOTHING about these damned things..."

I am not an anti-vaxxer by any means, I've had tons of vaccines as a result of my global travels to socialist shit-holes, and I'll be getting a tetanus shot in a year or so... but I'm not about to rush out and try some bleeding edge untested vaccine for a virus which will be under control naturally... I'll let everyone else do that - once half the population has some form of immunity this thing will die out quickly.
