As someone actually trained to perform genetic therapy, it was incredible how many people wanted to correct me about my safety concerns regarding the covid shot.
I'm impressed by your bravery in telling people that one, given the variety and origins of the "facts" on that topic! π²
I've just learned not to give a shit if people want to whip themselves into a frenzy so they can feel the rush of being on the "winning" team by parroting whatever their go-to social conditioning coordinator told them in today's podcast.
A layman looking up the research isn't even that bad. Nah. Religious podcast guy is the best source.
Well surely now by May 2024 your concerns have proven not to be that big of a deal? Itβs been years with billions of shots administered. Concern initially is fine IMO but by now you know the shots are fine, right?
There is absolutely still strong reason for concern. Even without looking into any of the documentation regarding negative effects that we've got now, it's simply not possible to claim that we know everything we need to know about it already. Not by a long shot. Simply the ordinary testing regimes that these sorts of products are supposed to undergo are extremely long themselves.
I think your concern for what genetic impact it will have on us is misplaced as evidenced by plenty of research and the billions of shots over 5 years but Iβm also not going to go to the mat over this.
That's a very wise choice not to go to the mat on this, because it's simply the truth that this novel genetic treatment has never passed the ordinary testing regimes for such products, which very few products ever pass because we simply do not know the lion's share of what there is to know about how genetics impact our body's function.
If you want to ignore the potential risks that's fine. At the very least, whether you're safe or not, we'll get some valuable scientific data from you.
Wow this got pretty patronizing pretty quick. Later dude. I would ask if youβre vaccinated but I guess I know the answer.
What exactly did you expect, picking an argument with someone in this thread of all places?
