The Covid 19 Vaccine

 The beginning of 2020 presented us with an enemy that was more covert than the most clever terrorist and deadly for many who came in contact with this foe. The world has changed a lot in the past few months and we are now accustomed to things that would have seemed absurd before all of this began. We could hardly envision people standing in line at a bank with masks covering their faces or all public schools shifting to remote learning on the fly, but here we are in the midst of what looks like a science fiction movie at times. Welcome to the world of the Covid19 pandemic. Countless individuals have lost their means of income and many small businesses have went under due to the constraints placed upon society by the stay at home orders and the forced closure of non essential businesses. With the negative financial impact caused by the pandemic Governments have been asking the medical professionals to race toward the creation of a solution. A cure, a vaccine, something to stave off the onslaught brought on by the Covid19 virus. Traditionally it takes years of research and testing to develop a safe and effective cure or vaccine for a disease and initially the medical associations were stating that a vaccine would not be available until the end of 2021 or 2022 due to the steps taken to ensure a safe and effective medicine being time consuming. Science in itself is a series of tests, observation, data collection, evaluation, and repeat until the process delivers failures and success eventually through refining the data over time predictable results can be achieved giving you a final product. Now look at the Covid19 MRNA vaccine Pfizer has developed in an astonishing time period. From what I have gathered the testing was done to 40,000 participants many of whom received a placebo over the course of TWO months. WHAT ? Two months worth of data and we are to believe this vaccine is safe. The type of genetic material being used has never been used in this capacity before now and although the scientists behind the product say it has a 95% efficacy rate and has only caused minor side effects that subside in an day or two. There is no hard data of the effects of the introduction of this genetic material to tyhe body over the course of six months, nine months ,  or a year or more. When I consider this vaccine I am reminder of the medicine for acid reflux known as Zantac. The medicine worked and was considered safe and effective at the time until it was found to contain a chemical that causes cancer. This drug did undergo all of the protocols involved in bringing a medicine to the public and yet it took more time to reveal the cancer causing agent within the medicine. So how on earth can these people say that after two whole months of data collection this vaccine is safe? Furthermore the use of MRNA in its current role is brand new. MRNA is a messenger of sorts that encodes messages to cells and without a complete understanding of all of the messages being delivered by the MRNA doors to new complications lurk in the absence of observation and data collection. In my mind two months of data collection leaves a lot of room for undetected or undeveloped problems. It could take six months to a year for the unknown danger to present its self or change enough genetic material in the body to cause harm. I was watching a doctor speak on the Covd19 virus and the time several people had become re infected and this was confusing the medical people even morebecause they could not figure out how these people had become reinfected. The doctor kept emphasizing that their was a vast amount they did not know about the virus. Shortly after that I stopped hearing about reinfections and what the cause of it was. So the medical field goes from not knowing squat about the virus to coming out with a vaccine for it in record time. If you ask me nothing about this adds up and because of the convoluted information being brodcast about the virus and the vaccine a sense of dread comes over me and i get a feeling of something being dangerous about this so called vaccine. Rushed into production, having a waiver from the FDA to administer the vaccine for emergency circumstances only points to the public being used as the final stage test subjects. Personally Im going to wait it out and see how it does once a period of time passes after they begin to distribute it to the masses. Anyone gung ho about taking the vaccine, More power to ya and good luck !
