I had thought about it a lot and decided that it was probably worth the risk, based on conversations with medical researchers who really understand how it works.

Then yesterday we had a workplace webinar where the president said that all staff are required to get the vaccine. Someone said how can you possibly require a vaccine that isn't even approved, but is only under emergency use authorization. The general counsel piped up and said that we think we are within our legal rights to require you to get it.

Someone else pointed out that in order to get this experimental vaccine we have to sign away our liability rights, so if the vaccine injures or kills us we have no recourse. And so isn't the company then liable for forcing you to take that risk? The webinar went silent for about 40 seconds and then the general counsel said that she would "circle back" on that question. So now they are worried...

Going to wait this one out for a bit.

Not all of the vaccines work in this way, but I was curious about the mRNA so I talked to the epidemiologist about it. He walked me through it and a lot of the sensationalism is just that.

Sounds like the epidemiologist wears useless masks. Did they explain the point of getting it if it doesn't prevent infection or spread? A real vaccine prevents infection which prevents spread. If it just reduces symptoms, so does Ivermectin or HCQ+Zinc, only they don't alter your DNA while doing it. Ask them the same question your coworker asked your work. If they recommend getting it, would they sign a contract making them liable for any damages you suffer from taking it.

One of my bigger concerns is: What about the next mRNA vaccine for the next virus. It has to be safe and tested for use in both the unvaccinated and those that got each version of this first mRNA vaccine.

Then the 3rd mRNA vaccine comes out for the 3rd virus. It needs to be tested on the unvaccinated, those with each different version of the covid mRNA vaccine that did get the second virus mRNA vaccine mentioned above, and tested on those that only got the mRNA vaccine for one of the two viruses... each variant vaccine formula thereof.

Every mRNA vaccine alters your DNA. What if a truly deadly virus comes along and by some miracle a mRNA vaccine actually works on it, but that mRNA code will kill anyone that has the covid vaccine mRNA in them? And if these mRNA vaccines do alter the immune system, how many other drugs/diseases will react differently to people with various states of altered DNA?

This vaccine also splits the blood donor pool. I won't willingly ever accept mRNA vaccinated blood. I've read Japan won't currently even accept it as a donation.

Sounds like they’re modding a gaming console. A new update comes along and it bricks a modded console.

Most programming errors comes from failing to mange state correctly.

I can't think of anything more stateful than biological systems
