When the vaccine became available, we were told it was one and done. False, now it is generally acknowledged this isn’t even a vaccine in the traditional sense, it is immunotherapy. There are known risk models associated with immunotherapy. I am not a doctor, so I will leave it at that. We were told that immunized people would be unlikely to catch, or if they did, they would be unlikely to die. Well, that turned out to be only partially true as my family found out when my step-mother who was double immunized, caught and perished of covid a coupla months ago.<u></u><u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u> <u></u></p><p class="MsoNormal">Many countries are compelling their citizens to take the vaccines, even the young, whose immune systems are robust and able to deal with covid, yet these same people have the most to lose in the long run if there are long-term unforeseen health consequences for injecting mRNA. We don’t really know for sure if that will have long-term consequences, for we don’t have that data. It probably won’t. But the risk model is still unknown. To call out a number, particularly one as small as 1 in a million, reduces the credibility of the person claiming it.</p></div></div></div></blockquote><div dir="auto">There is only one “vaccine”, the original smallpox vaccine, derived from the cowpox virus. “Vacca” is Latin for cow.
