The Vaccine

[tabbibus]

A deep fake of me in the ICU? Holographic deep fake?

Lol, I guess organizing the picking up of trash on my section of adopted highway requires proof of vaccination. Enjoy your trash, HC BoC!

Here is the issue with The NY Times and other media outlets. They act like lawyers who make a statement knowing the judge will over rule it, however they have already planted negative seed in the juries mind.

I disagree. The number of retractions they post vs how much they deliver....its a tiny fraction of what they publish. They don't like it when reporters publish inaccuracies and fail to research adequately - and amongst researchers and story writers its a matter of pride too. Much like many of us in our own professions who pride ourselves in our accuracy, the same applies to MOST news outlets. They all have their spin (Left/Center/Right) - and I find NYT to be mostly center - a little left (knowing where they sit is all that matters).

@Lurch, please stay on the topic of the vaccine avoiding political topics.

So deep fakes are legit Vaccine thread topics, but the veracity of a national news org that is reporting on COVID/vaccine stats is not? Lol…got it.

I’ll leave the NYTimes alone to comply with the very narrow guardrails you’ve installed for this thread, but trouncing out site rules when a tangential fact is presented that you find objectionable is not a good look, @Bruce.

@Lurch, two posts ago you broached two political topics. Since you were unwilling to accept my request to avoid politics without issuing a warning for that post I will issue the warning.

Deep fakes are off topic but not political.

Please enlighten me to the partisan nature of my post showing two examples of the NY Times mendacity. I mentioned a newspaper, not a political party. Pathetic, @Bruce.

UPDATED / EDITED-- The Membership has decided we don't want these divisive types of discussions here on the forum.

Partisan Political comments/photos will not be allowed. Keep things generic. Saying something like: "The federal government is doing a bad job" is ok. Saying Politican ________ is an idiot is not ok as this would be a "partisan" comment. Also, posting obviously partisan photos or MEMEs will be considered partisan as well. This would include a photo of your boat with your favorite politician's flag feature prominently.

This is a fine line to walk, but please do your best. We (moderators/admins) don't want to spend our time policing this.

Posting a Partisan Comment will result in a warning from a moderator.

I missed the part where it got political.

@Lurch, your political reference was “(Brian Sicknick and the Russian Bounty are just two recent examples)”.

Your behavior and constant trolling are unacceptable.

85% of your posts are in this thread. I would like to see that below 50%.

I'll post where and when I have something to say, within the stated site rules and CoC.

My wife and I got the J&J (one and done) shot 2-1/2 weeks ago. I called 5 different places and ask to be put on a No Waste List as we were not eligible yet. Got a call 2 days later from CVS and they had exactly 2 shots left. Jumped in the car and got them. The shot was painless. My wife had chills/slight fever around 3am for about 30 minutes and it passed. She has been fine ever since. I had no reaction to the vaccine and felt fine. I glad we got it.

We chose the J&J as people were stating the 2nd shot was the most discomforting. My son's wife got her 2nd shot 3 days ago and has had a fever since then. We have not heard how she doing today.

We all need to realize this is exactly like getting the flu shot. It will not prevent you from getting the virus but will decrease the symptoms. The vaccine provides your body with the necessary anti-bodies to help fight it and minimize it's duration. It does not turn you into superman and now you can fly! You are still susceptible to the virus and you can spread it.

@BigN8 Sorry you caught it so bad. That sucks what you went thru. Glad you're ok.

Sorry but this is NOT like the flu shot. This changes your DNA and that is permanent and will be passed down to children and grandchildren forever..

I had covid (it was nothing), I won't be getting a vax.

Same here... Lost my taste and smell for a bit, other than that I felt nothing

Where do you find such disinformation?

The mRNA vaccines simply wash out of your body within a few days. MRNA is a product of transcribing DNA. MRNA does not alter DNA.

The Johnson and Johnson vaccine does use a virus to insert temporary DNA segments.They are not integrated into your genome. They also washout in a short period of time.

These vaccines do not alter your DNA. They do not use technologies that would be capable of altering your DNA.

I'll take my chances of catching this new flu each year.

Because my vaccinated friends have caught it already this month

Wherever you saw that, be sure to keep in mind this is a blatant lie, and should make you wonder what what else they are misleading followers/readers on.

This simply is not true. Here is a link to an article on the Mayo's Clinic's website, How do different types of COVID-19 vaccines work?. The article gives an excellent, brief, summary how the different Covid-19 vaccines work. The Mayo Clinic is a world renown Medical Center, consistently ranked one of the best in this country.

Guess I am trying to understand this comment? While Covid-19 and the seasonal flu are both viruses, they are not the same virus. A vaccine for Covid-19 will not prevent the seasonal flu, like a vaccine for the seasonal flu will not prevent Covid-19. There is currently not an approved vaccine, in the U.S., that will provide protection against both.

If you truly do not understand the risks/benefits of either, then I would sincerely suggest you talk to your doctor about these different vaccines and if they make sense in your particular case.
