One of those planes was shot down and the crew died in the crash.

Yes, we all have beliefs. As a former theist who once studied for the Pentecostal ministry I am finding that most beliefs are pure bullshit with no evidence, but you are entitled to your beliefs.

Flyingsaucesir replies on Oct 31, 2022:

Most RELIGIOUS beliefs are bullshit. But belief in science, belief in rule of law, belief in egalitarianism, belief in democracy are worthy. Some would even say noble.

@Castlepaloma Hey the WWII example was the only time, and at the time it seemed like a legitimate action. After the first bomb the US waited a couple days for Japan to surrender. It was only their obdurate silence that precipitated the second bomb.And, in fact, they probably saved tens or hundreds of thousands of lives. But you don't care about that, do you? You would rather bitch and moan about this country (of which you are not even a citizen).

Look man, you asked me to school you, and I did that. If don't trust your education, or the CDC, or the National Institutes of health, that's on you. My question to you is this: why do you keep posting this anti-vax nonsense? Can't you just make your choice and let others make theirs? Who exactly are you trying to impress? The standard for dissemination of information regarding the safety and efficacy of vaccines is publication of peer-reviewed articles in reputable scientific journals. I gave you a list of relevant scientific journals. I defy you to find one epidemiological study showing that thousands of people have been killed by the vaccines. Put up or shut up. (mic drop 🎤)

@BDair RE vaers: the most important line in the page(s) in the link is the very last one. It reads, "Reports are not proof of causality." The thing is, people are dying all the time, from a variety of causes. Some old guy gets up one morning, pulls on his socks, and later that morning kicks the bucket. We don't ascribe his death to pulling on his socks, even though the sequence of events does imply a causal link. That would be a fallacy known as post hoc ergo propter hoc (it happened after, therefore because of). It's the same thing with the vaccines. Somebody gets their shot, and then they die from one of the other million things that can kill you. But some family member says "Wow! He got the shot and now he's dead!" The assumption of a causal relationship is fallacious. As of October 19, 9 deaths in the US have be caused by the vaccines. That's after administration of almost 700 million doses. You have a better chance of winning the lottery than of dying from a COVID-19 vaccine.

@BDair Here are some major journals that might interest you. However, what you seek is something you would find in good biology, immunology, and/or molecular biology textbooks. American Journal of Epidemiology Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health European Journal of Epidemiology International Journal of Epidemiology The Lancet Journal The New England Journal of Medicine Journal of the American Medical Association The British Medical Journal The Journal of Pathology Journal of Immunological Sciences The Journal of Immunology The Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology Frontiers in Immunology Immunity Nature Reviews Immunology Science Immunology Human Vaccines Genetic Vaccines and Therapy Human Vaccines and Immunotherapeutics Journal of Immune Based Therapies and Vaccines Journal of Vaccines and Vaccination To answer your question: The mRNA in a vaccine is built according to a viral DNA code called a gene. Whether the mRNA is made in a lab or in a cell makes no difference; mRNA is mRNA. The skeletal muscles are composed of cells. Intramuscular injection introduces the mRNA vaccine 8nto cells. Once the mRNA is in a cell it finds an organelle called a ribosome. There are many ribosomes in the cell's watery cytoplasm. There are also lots of amino acids floating around in the cytoplasm. Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins. When the mRNA links up with the ribosome, the ribosome begins to act like an enzyme, catalyzing a series of chemical reactions. Each reaction adds a new amino acid to a growing chain of amino acids, called a polypeptide. There are twenty different types of amino acids. Which specific acid goes where in the sequence is determined by the mRNA code. As the ribosome "reads" the mRNA the polypeptide gets longer. When complete, the polypeptide separates from ribosome. It then folds up into the final shape, called a tertiary protein structure. In this case, that structure is the spike protein. It's not really a spike: it's a more complicated shape, more analogous to a key. But even that analogy is not good, because the protein is not long and thin; it's short and squat. This protein fits into a receptor on the surface of a body cell, like a key in a lock. If there were an actual virus, it would thus gain access to the cell. But in the vaccine there is no virus. The presence of these spike proteins is detected by specialized cells of the immune system called T-cells. T-cells are like a general on a battlefield. They rally troops to fight off an invader. T-cells "tell" B-cells to produce antibodies against the spike protein. Antibodies are proteins too. They are custom made by the B-cell to neutralize a specific foreign body (in this case, the spike protein). The general term for any ...

Flyingsaucesir replies on Oct 28, 2022:

@BDair Transparency is a key characteristic of science. Scientists are keen to share their work with the world. The standard for dissemination of information regarding the safety and efficacy of vaccines is publication of peer-reviewed articles in reputable scientific journals. Journalists who cover the science beat read the journals and interview the scientists who write the articles. And just as scientists are constantly double-checking each other's work, so too are journalists. Interested individuals routinely get information from multiple publications. You never rely on just one source. Over time you get to know your sources. You have been seeing their work confirmed for years. Suddenly some unknown source comes out of nowhere with information that is completely at odds with everything you are seeing elsewhere. You look for credentials and associations, but it's thin or nonexistent. You may find that the new source has a criminal history; he/she did time for fraud or practicing medicine without a licence. It's not too hard to determine who is actually doing journalism a who is just blowing disinformation out their ass.
