I will not be vaccinated. Period.


I ONLY consider being vaccinated after such shots have been tested for
several years. By then, the majority of negative reactions have been
documented, along with why those reactions happened. I get a flu shot
every fall because I've seen those work with very little allergic
reactions. The covid "vaccines" have not been tested long enough for
me to even consider taking one of those shots. I'm no guinea pig.
If other people WANT to be experimented on, that's their business.


When in the history of vaccination approval and administration in the
U.S. was there was a vaccine that demonstrated a statistically
significant incidence of delayed side effects (serious or otherwise)
occurring more than a few months following inoculation? Please provide
a reputable reference. I don't think that you'll be able to find one.
Yet, on the basis of fear, unsubstantiated by any facts, you consider
the potential risk of such a situation greater than the extremely well
documented substantial risk of becoming crippled or killed by an
infection with one of the COVID variants. For the sake of yourself,
your family members, friends, and possible co-workers, examine the
facts
and reconsider your decision!


When in the history of vaccination approval and administration in the
U.S. was there was a mRNA vaccine?


That's a non sequitur; completely irrelevant. In the past, many new
vaccines when first approved and administered, were developed by novel
techniques and had never before been used to develop a safe and effective
vaccine. You think the smallpox vaccine was safe? How about the Sabin
polio vaccine? Not even discussing vaccines, how many people have
life-threatening allergies to the penicillins or other families of
life-saving medicines? Should we ban penicillin? Should we place a
strict embargo on peanuts and ban them entirely from the marketplace
because a small percentage of the population is at risk? All decisions
involving public health constitute best judgement after a risk vs.
benefit analysis.

Risk vs. benefit. Yes, we might be able to extend experimental vaccine
protocols for many months or even years but there's no objective endpoint
that can be set. How long is long enough? Why choose any particular
length of followup? Usually it's a compromise between recruiting and
retaining sufficient subjects to enable an appropriate magnitude of
statistical significance when the data is analyzed, the cost per month of
keeping a research team funded to maintain the protocol, the severity of
the disease threat, and what is known about the biology of how we respond
to the introduction of similar foreign substances into our bodies. mRNA
is not a novel molecule, recently synthesized in the lab. It's produced
by cells and viruses and needed to maintain that specie's viability in
nature. Our cells need mRNA to fabricate proteins. We've known about
corona viruses for decades and none have ever even been suspected much
less documented of being either mutagenic or carcinogenic. We know how
lethal and transmissible the COVID corona virus has been. The risk vs
benefit of administering mRNA vaccines against the COVID virus strongly
favors the use of the preapproval human clinical trial period that was
selected.

The goal of vaccines is to trick our immune systems into producing
antibodies that target a specific virus attacking our bodies.

Yes.

Why not skip traditional vaccines and go straight to treating the most
sick people with covid antibody plasma?

Because it makes a hell of a lot more sense to prevent
them getting infected in the first place by vaccinating
them and stop them getting seriously sick by
vaccinating them, and vastly cheaper, and vastly
safer too and its possible to vaccinate everyone
who wants to be vaccinated, but not possible to
give everyone the plasma if they get very sick.
