Re:Moderna’s HIV vaccine has officially begun human trials on Monday January 31, 2022 @08:01PM (#30157248)
this was the real endgame of the vaccine mandates, force the whole world to participate in a trial of mRNA technology so that it could start being used in other profitable products.

it required vaccines that actually slow the spread of disease

>So far, there hasn't been any evidence (I've heard of) of long-term adverse effects of the vaccination. Vaccines are not exactly new science.

the vaccines came out last year, there hasn't even been a long term yet.

mrna vaccines are definitely new science, unless you can point me to another mrna vaccine that has been distributed to the public at this scale?

Re:More Americans are saying they’re ‘vaxxed and done’ on Monday January 10, 2022 @06:59PM (#29884989)
mass injections of mrna vaccines is a new thing so there is no comparable reference point

given that your young child is literally in the trial for young children, what data was there to indicate it was safe or beneficial for them?

>. My under-5 is enrolled in the Pfizer study, and they are not starting over from scratch.

can someone please explain to me the thought process of enrolling your child in an experimental medical trial for a medicine they probably don't even need?

interesting take that coincides with some of my own observations

its really interesting/disturbing that people put so much blind faith in the organizations pushing these vaccines. so many people are acting unscientifically in the "pursuit of science". science is not something where you blindly trust what the corporations and authority figures tell you.

the safety trials had no control group, the approval was based on 4 months of data, the situation that we are in now seems to suggest they dont really work very well, there certainly is no long term data about what happens when you keep reinjecting boosters over and over, lipid nanoparticles themselves are a novel technology that is not very well understood, most people are at low risk and have no need for it, the list goes on
