This is not to say I wasn’t just a little disappointed in the vaccine. The scientists agreed that the virus somehow originated in bats, so of course those of us who ever read comic books back in the 60s had in the back of our minds that maybe injecting RNA from bats would result in our getting Batman superpowers!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>But then… we realized the awful truth: Batman was the only known superhero who didn’t have any actual superpowers. He had a buttload of money, the sixpack abs, he had the bat cave, a really cool car, he had youthful ward Dick Grays… on… eh… hmmm… OK then, car, cave, money, abs, that guy was really cool, but no actual superpowers, unlike Spider Man who was bitten by the radioactive… well you know the drill, but humanity was unfortunate enough to catch a murderous virus from the one beast associated with the one superhero who had no actual superpowers at all.

We are among friends here. It is OK to have reservations about that vaccine: it was rushed, and as far as I know, it is a new technology where one injects RNA from a bat into our systems theorizing that it will stimulate the immune system. I don’t think that could cause harm, but I don’t know everything. Over time it looks like it would just break down, completely without risk of causing covid. But I am not a biologist.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>Thoughts please?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText>spike<o:p></o:p></p></div></body></html>
