The ‘I’ve Got The COVID Shot Club’!

[_Moon_]

My grandfather is dying thanks to the vaccine.

I'm sorry.

Like I said: Everyone is right.

Thanks.

She thought one shot would be kinder than two for older folks. She previously worked with a team the lab that developed the Pfizer back when she was teaching at Yale. Said they were top notch in their field.

That makes sense. Very cool that she worked with the team.

I also heard that mRNA can be used in correcting disease-promoting genetic mutations. That also sounds promising.

 

[Aunt Angus]

mRNA is the next phase in immunology because it is important for viral immune defense. That sounds like a good thing.

What? No one wants to discuss mRNA? I am so disappointed.

The vaccine doesn't give you COVID-19 itself, it just gives you the RNA code that causes your body to produce COVID-19 spike proteins (not a live virus, not even a dead virus; just the spike proteins, which can't harm you or multiply). Your body builds up immunity (antibodies and memory cells) to the spike protein so that when you come into contact with the real virus, your body recognizes it and has what it needs to quickly take action and eradicate

So are you basically saying it breaks down your immune system and rebuilds it because my sister is a nurse and thats how she explained it to us

This "shot" killed my Grandma.

I'm so sorry to hear that

Way over my head! DH is pretty excited about it though.

I'm outta here, too. No use discussing this when EVERYONE IS RIGHT.
