    I've just had my first dose of Covid vaccine!

    And I know two people who have died from it. That's the reality.

    I've just had my first dose of Covid vaccine!

    I suggest you read your own quote. "No one knows yet..." It doesn't follow that the vaccine is 'bogus' - we know that it stops people from getting seriously ill, and that alone makes it worth having. Nor does the vaccine itself make you infectious. But if a vaccinated person gets exposed to the...

    Real pandemic vs staged pandemic

    The reasoning behind this is as follows: Improvements in public health have (historically) led to smaller family numbers. This has been evident since the 19th century in Europe and North America: reduce the childhood mortality rate, and the birth rate will fall over the next few decades...

    Thoughts about using a KJV update?

    I might have used an updated KJV if one had been available 50 years ago. But now that I'm used to the NIV, I see no need to change.

    I've just had my first dose of Covid vaccine!

    Thanks Rita I felt a bit "flu-ey" last night (about 10 hours after the vaccination), so I took some Paracetamol and went to bed. I feel fine this morning. I've had worse reactions to other vaccines.

    Sorry. It means that people with cancer can have the vaccine, so long as there is no other reason (such as serious allergy) why they shouldn't.

    Cancer is not a contra-indication.

    Thanks Rita, you're right. I should have said sick from an infectious disease of any kind. I've changed it.

    The article focuses on 4 people who died from Covid one day after the vaccination programme started. Nowhere does it state that these individuals had received the vaccine. In fact, they were already seriously ill before the vaccine arrived. Now it's a fundamental principle that you don't...

    Unethical mRNA Vaccine - Input from a Biochemist.

    Since you ask, I was a specialist in sexual health (sexually transmitted infections, contraception and HIV)

    Unethical mRNA Vaccine - Input from a Biochemist.

    I'm a retired doctor. Being a doctor necessitates knowing a fair bit of biology, biochemistry, physiology, etc.

    Unethical mRNA Vaccine - Input from a Biochemist.

    No, not like that. mRNA is not a protein itself, but an instruction to the cell to make a protein. The precise protein that is made depends on the sequence of nucleotides in the mRNA. It gets processed by the cell's protein-making factory, which churns out the protein (in this case the COVID...

    Unethical mRNA Vaccine - Input from a Biochemist.

    Then why mention it? Sorry, but it did come over as though you were doubting the reality of Covid-19 in the same way that some people doubt the reality of HIV. Yes. A proposal to transform the global economy so that it promotes equality and becomes more environmentally friendly. Big on ideas...

    Unethical mRNA Vaccine - Input from a Biochemist.

    Why does this surprise you? The PCR test picks up viral DNA. It detects the presence of the virus - but that virus may or may not be causing symptoms, because people vary in their response to it. The same applies to PCR tests for other organisms. What's so "unnatural" about this? - it's normal!

    Unethical mRNA Vaccine - Input from a Biochemist.

    "Assuming..." says it all. No doubt the official figures are inaccurate, but they're not as inaccurate as all that. The true figure may even be higher than the official one. And it isn't just deaths. A proportion of survivors (we're not yet sure what proportion) get "long Covid". Young people...

    Unethical mRNA Vaccine - Input from a Biochemist.

    You do have to be very careful about interpreting this statistic. A VERY common mistake made by people ideologically opposed to vaccination is to assume/claim that all deaths immediately following vaccination "must be" or "are" caused by the vaccine. This is a logical fallacy ("post hoc...

    If you get vaccinated

    I certainly will. But it'll be a while yet, as I'm no longer working and I'm only in priority group 5.

    What exactly is "the church"

    The word 'church' can refer to an individual group of believers that meets together in one place, or to the "universal Church" which comprises all churches of every denomination (plus those that call themselves 'non-denominational'). In the first sense, there are many millions of churches; in...
