In other words, you're a coward. You're getting the benefit of all
those that
were vaccinated, while afraid to take a tiny risk, one that pales in
comparison
to the real, deadly effects of the disease. I just heard a commercial
urging
people to get vaccinated. It said that this is the first time since
WWII that
all Americans need to come together for the common good. You're hiding,
no surprise there. And with almost 600K Americans DEAD from Covid,
we need the vaccine now, not years from now.
There was about 6 to 10 people that developed the blood clots.
I just wonder how many were killed or in accidents on the way to get
vaccinated ? There are close to 40,000 killed on the highways and hard
telling how many with major injuries yet no one is calling for a ban on
cars.
Over 100,000 people die in the US each year from blood clots
Those blood clots are quite different to the very unusual blood
clots that have been seen with the AstraZeneca vaccine in europe.
which is over twice as many that die of breast cancer. One almost did me
in over 20 years ago and the surgeon that removed it told me his father
died of a blood clot.
Might mention that I hear the DNA technology used by Pfizer and Moderna
has been around for maybe 15 years.
But hasnt been used to produce a viable human vaccine before.
And its actually a RNA technology, not DNA.

The J&J uses existing vaccine technology with a weaker or dead virus.
And so does the AstraZeneca and russian, chinese and indian vaccines.
Besides underwriting the drug companies vaccine development, warp speed
also expedited FDA approval. If you are familiar with the FDA you would
find that it can take them years to approve anything, even drugs approved
for use in Europe and Japan and numerous other regions. Watch the movie,
The Dallas Buyers Club, about HIV drug approvals for a realistic story.
Might mention also that it can take three years for the FDA to approve a
generic drug. As a retired chemist I can tell you that with proper lab
facilities I could approve a generic drug in less than a week.
