A lot of good posts here but I will note:
They tried making sars vaccines for like 20 years and completely failed because of antibody dependent enhancement, the animals would die when exposed to the wild virus (they were fine after getting vaccinated).
I understand Moderna has also struggled to make mRNA vaccines, not being able to make it past phase 3 trials.
For those that say side effects are rare and not anything to be concerned of, sorry, when there's numerous reports that come out every single day of young people experiencing heart attacks or blood clots, sorry, that's not normal.
I don't really care if they've been developing it for 50 years, it's simply not normal. There's already 4000 deaths reported for these vaccines, *reported*, and we know the vast majority go unreported. And plenty of adverse events.
As a comparison, 190 million people get flu vaccines every year, and there's 20-30 deaths on average for these vaccines.
So these vaccines are in a whole different ball park.
For those that say, especially to a young person, well it's better to get the vaccine than to get Covid, how do you actually KNOW that ?
As another poster said up top, there's lots of unknowns with these vaccines, will they produce antibody dependent enhancement, autoimmunity issues, fertility issues, etc. How effective will they actually be when put against strains that are going to come out within the next 2-3-6 months ?
Because that's what actually matters. That's fine if it prevents a severe disease right now but we have to look at the full picture. Also, how much is tramission even cut?
The point is there's so many unknowns, and no this isn't fear mongering, I actually think it's the other way around. Fear mongering has been taking place during the last year to get people to rush into these vaccines in the first place.
Oh Yea, Also, no animal trials were done for these vaccines.
That being said, do I think it's intelligent to just do nothing, to not get the vaccine and do absolutely nothing ? No, I don't. I personally started prophylaxing with Ivermectin last week, I take it once a week and will do so indefinitely until I see where this thing is going.
Ivermectin on the contrary has 30 years of safety data and according to clinical studies, epidemiological studies, accounts from front line docs and patients, it simply works and is extremely effective against Covid. And it is reported to be working against variants as well, in Brazil and South Africa , it has numerous mechanisms of action against sars-cov-2 including the blockage of the organism onto our ace-2 receptors which is how the virus gets in in the first place.
Also, regarding the vaccines, we know it stimulates igg antibodies in the blood but how about iga ? In my opinion these vaccines aren't even a long term solution since they still allow shedding rather than destroying the virus outright.
For a young person, for a virus with a 99.95% survivability rate you better be damn sure that what you are injecting yourself is going to be safe, extremely safe.
This is just not known at this time
