And he probably didn't die. Most people can be drunk everyday, and live for many years. But the odds? Not so good. Heavy drinkers die of a lot of different things at much higher rates than nondrinkers. The point is vaccination saves lives. Like not drinking heavily. As do many others...

My wife and I and most of my friends got vaccinated. None of them became ill. My son-in-law's parents didn't get vaccinated. Both of them died of COVID-19. That's how it works. Like seat belts. No absolute guaranty, but they save a lot of lives.

Spike proteins cannot infect anything. They are not microbes. They do not reproduce. Probably is, in absurdly large quantities. Salt is also toxic in large quantities. Oxygen is toxic in large quantities. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_toxicity The key to toxicology is "Dose...

Mostly found in retroviruses. The supposition is, you could be heavily infected by a retrovirus, get a COVID-19 vaccination, and some of your cells could get insertion of spike protein DNA in some of your cells. The issue is, no one can find any evidence that it ever happens, over hundreds...

That would be really bizarre, since mRNA degradation turns out to be accelerated by the concentration of mRNA in the cell: The crosstalk between mRNA degradation and transcription is studied by analyzing the link between mRNA degradation and mRNA concentrations under various conditions. Several...

You've been misled by dishonest people. Gene therapy is changing a person's DNA. mRNA cannot do this.

This is something we have to remember. The vaccine didn't keep everyone from dying. But the death rate for vaccinated people was less than one-tenth the rate for unvaccinated people. It's like seat belts; wearing one won't guarantee you won't die in an auto accident. But it greatly...

Hey, I used to be a professional member of ASM. Technically, I'm not a microbiologist, but I did a lot of work in immunology, and took enough microbiology to qualify.

It wasn't. My doc said that if you get the shot, you're unlikely to get seriously ill. That's what CDC said. Yes, most immunized people didn't get infected at all, but that's not what the shot was advertised to do.

People have always taken vaccinations as specific job requirements. The US Supreme Court has recognized it as Constitutional. And you lost... Overall, 71% of Americans report receiving at least one dose of a COVID-19 vaccine. Democrats, college graduates and adults 60 and older are more...

The word "ecumenical" was coined in the 1500s to mean "all Christians in the world." A good, solid word. In that sense, I acknowledge that Eastern Orthodox Christians, Protestants, and Catholics are all brothers in Christ, if they have accepted Jesus as Lord.

Antivaxxers regard evidence the way a vampire regards a crucifix.

Yep. But a good particulate dust mask will get those. Fumes are made up of particles too. Only they are microscopically small. Not as small as viruses, but too small for most particulate masks to get all of them. The good news is that most of that crud gets cleaned out of your lungs...

Technically, it's fumes from welding. A simple OR mask wouldn't help. The filters are designed for metal fumes. In some cases, where lead, cadmium, and some other metals are present, a special cartridge is required. Well, that's a novel response...

Actually, they did. They were designed to protect the immunized person from dying or becoming seriously ill, but they also were fairly good at preventing infection entirely. Executive summary Updated COVID-19 vaccines continue to lower the risk of infection modestly and protect much better...

Far as I can tell, few in the anti-vaxxer cult are genuine racists. I'd be open to your evidence that they are evil in that respect. That doesn't mean they are racists. I go with the guys who go with the evidence. Reality can be annoying, but it is real. How, exactly do you think wearing...

My Mom used to say that no one is useless; they can always be a bad example.

No. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/coronavirus-vs-flu/art-20490339 Also, blood clots are rare with influenza and more common with COVID-19 infections. Radiation sickness is much different...

Far as I can tell, few in the anti-vaxxer cult are genuine racists. I'd be open to your evidence that they are evil in that respect. Some of antivaxxers qualify as quacks, but sorceries? Sexual immorality? Thefts? Antivaxxers might be a little unusual, but I wouldn't label them that...
