As the government puts every small business out of work permanently from the lockdowns for the totally deadly virus, all the social media sites are promoting black-owned businesses. That means this whole thing is just a way to make a higher percentage of businesses black-owned, by putting all the white ones out of business while keeping the black ones opened through social media propping them up. It's a redistribution of wealth based on race. Am I wrong?

Many don't know this but here there are a lot of pro-Trump people among those working on Astra-Zeneca vaccine and trials. I see it first hand. It's just regular people with families who want to beat this asshole virus and the blood clotting and organ damage it incurs. It's easy to focus on numbers, it's much harder when you see someone's father, with many years of life still in them, struggling to breathe on oxygen while they tell their kids bedtime stories through facetime. All because the immune system reaction the virus produces is too strong, and it attacks your own body.
Vaccines are good. Medicines are good. New treatments are always feared at first, but as a society we learn and adjust and progress. Every medicine has side effects in a small segment of people, but the good they do far outweigh the bad.
All we're trying to do with the vaccine is help the body adjust to a smaller, inactivated version of the virus, so it can produce antibodies without destroying you in the process. Then, if you do catch COVID, your body can fight it without overreacting and turning on itself.
No problem. I see it a lot here, people think COVID is like most illnesses where being fit, healthy, strong, etc. will save you. In actuality, having a strong immune response is the exact opposite of what you want with COVID, because THAT'S when people die. I don't think a lot of people know that it's the immune system reaction this particular virus triggers that kills you, or produces strokes which leaves you disabled for life, and not the virus itself.
The main reason why the elderly die and younger people survive is that the function of the organs is higher in the young - so they can withstand the hit from COVID and have some left over to make it through. Many elderly people don't. But people don't understand that the damage is across ALL ages - and we have young, fit, athletic skiers with mild or asymptomatic COVID display heart damage in scans akin to a heart attack or progressive heart failure.
People think COVID is just a cold, one and done. They are unaware of the damage it leaves behind even inside of them even with a mild or asymptomatic case. THIS is why the vaccine is needed. So that the immune system reaction can be CONTROLLED through medication instead of severe and unchecked.
This is a virus that enters via the fucking endothelium. You DON'T want endothelium damage even if you only get the sniffles because that's your organ linings.
Great but is it true or false that the vaccine is literally killing people?
It sounds to me like 1% have at least a serious reaction to it. Which is probably the % that has a serious reaction to covid.
I can only speak for our trials with Astra-Zeneca, and so far we haven't had one single death from the vaccine in our trials. Now if you take a segment of 25,000 people and give them COVID, then you will have far more deaths, severe cases, and chronic disabilities for life in there.
I'll give you an example. People talk about Bell's Palsy and inflammatory neurological responses to the vaccine. We halted the trial at one point to investigate such a case.
Overall we had about 4 cases of Bell's Palsy. I don't know if the media has gone into detail but you will be surprised to find that most of them were in the placebo group - meaning the group that did NOT receive the vaccine. Because in a big segment of the population chronic illness invariably occurs, whether vaccinated or not.
The problem with vaccinating 5, 10, 15, 20 million people, is that several in that million will develop cancer. Several will die. One will get hit by a bus. One will have a heart attack on the exact same day as the injection but be completely unrelated. One will happen to have a stroke just as the needle pricks their skin. It's statistics but unfortunately it's excellent MSM fodder to get clicks, views and $$$$.
We are investigating every single flagged instance reported to us - even where it's completely unrelated like someone stubbing their toe playing in the house and getting an infection. It's investigated thoroughly - could having had the vaccine contributed to the toe becoming infected, increasing the chances and so on. Could the vaccine have made them clumsier and more groggy, etc. etc. etc. That's how much detail and attention is being put into this, even norovirus instances (completely unrelated) are being investigated if they happened in someone taking a vaccine.
Do some people have allergic reactions? Yes, but that's expected. We don't have PEG in ours so it's fewer allergic reactions than Pfeizer/Moderna as far as I'm aware.
It's false. The people getting the vaccine first are disproportionately the most at-risk. I got an e-mail today from a hospital system in a state I no longer live in. It explained in detail whose is currently eligible for the vaccine, in addition to healthcare workers. The criteria are any one of the following:
-- age 75 or over
-- currently getting chemotherapy for cancer
-- currently on dialysis
-- currently awaiting transplant or on a "pre-transplant" list
-- 20-32 weeks pregnant
Talking about a very small percentage of people in such a group dying after getting the vaccine is in no way comparable to talking about people who died because of the vaccine. In any given week, a significant number of people in this aggregated group are dying anyway, with or without the vaccine.
