Looks like we got a tough guy over here
That makes this even worse lol. ELISA (antibody tests) are supposed to be the gold standard.
I see where you're coming from.
I agree an RNA-based vaccine could have interactions with human DNA, but I think the risk is relatively low. In contrast to DNA, which is a large and stable molecule stored in the nucleus, RNA is a small and short-lived molecule that mostly exists in the cytoplasm (more accurately the cytosol). We've actually been using RNA injectables experimentally for nearly two decades, though not in the form of a vaccine. While injecting RNA could theoretically cause a number of side effects, DNA damage is probably one of the less likely side effects since the two won't normally be in contact in any meaningful way. The cell also has a handful of DNA protection and repair mechanisms to prevent this kind of thing. If it did cause some sort of DNA damage, it could take years or even decades for the first signs to manifest, and even then there's a chance the cell just dies rendering the whole thing moot.
All that said, I understand your concern and agree with your conclusion that RNA-based vaccines have the potential for serious adverse effects, but I don't think interactions with DNA is the major mechanism by which this vaccine could cause harm.
What would a "dead" version of COVID look like? Probably RNA as it's an RNA virus. Just like the RNA in our own body, you can have RNA that is not pathogenic, so the fact that it's made of RNA isn't a cause for concern alone. What should be concerning is the speed it was developed and how politicized COVID has become. I wouldn't want to be in the first or second batch of subjects to receive it.
Agreed. It's medically irresponsible for every urgent care clinic to be handing these out like candy.
He's pretty smart. Definitely at least three standard deviations above the median.
Lol if you honestly think he's considering conceding
A lot of these people are genuinely unaware of the data. They see a headline on CNN, it confirms their pre-existing biases, and they move on with their day thinking "haha Drumpf." If you can actually sit down and have a rationale conversation with these people many of them will admit there is evidence of fraud. The alternative is being an idiot so they're forced to choose.
All I'm saying is that it's a complex issue and there are people who mean well in the pharmaceutical industry. While it's true we spend more on medications than most if not all other countries, we also fund the vast majority of pharmaceutical research, which other countries adopt at a fraction of the cost. Not saying insulin or epinephrine should be hundreds of dollars - they're lifesaving drugs and they're inexpensive to mass produce.
Just remember there's good people in Big Pharma too. They're not all conspiring against the sick.
There was no audit.
They aren't dependent on viewership to keep running propaganda.
Surprised I had to scroll this far down to find this.
Still a slimy thing to do though.
This might have been the most exciting day in the past week. Lots of action in MI, WI, GA, and NV!
I'm from MI but I'm sending them a "Thank You" first thing in the morning. If they pull through I encourage everyone else to do the same.
"Did you know the majority of black deaths are caused by other blacks? Fix problems within your own community before blaming others."
Probably the best quote. Well-said. (The same can be said of white-on-white homicides, by the way).
Never thought of this. Thanks for sharing.
WSU has had serious problems with corruption for years, too. I would not recommend that university except only as a last resort.
Serious question: How can they change the rules of the recount after receiving $3 million dollars? That sounds like grounds for a legal case.
semi-employed fucks
This comment made my day lol.
You obviously only read the abstract. Read the whole study and come back.
Well said.
You obviously didn't read the article or the data within it. There was no statistically significant difference between the intervention and control arms.
Link to the actual study: https://www.acpjournals.org/doi/10.7326/M20-6817
Dude your comment history is the most unintelligible thing I've seen in months.
