    How does a computer geek know so much about a virus?

    Hey king mob and dohnjoe, maybe you could both interrogate him

    he is a multi billionaire with a lot of time on his hands to read and access to the best medical minds on the planet to ask questions of. Combined with generally being the smartest man in the room it is no surprise he knows so much about it.

    and a spokesman for the big pharma companies and WHO aswell?

    Where's Tedros Adhanom? Surely he should be doing this?

    Oh ya I forgot, he's possibly facing genocide charges

    ...............................
    So we now have 2 conflicting approaches from Luke O'Neill and Prof Whitty
    https://www.thejournal.ie/covid-strain-travel-5299901-Dec2020/

    Luke O'Neill has said that if the virus mutates, then the RNA vaccines can be modified quickly
    Prof Whitty has said it would be “surprising” if the vaccines already in development were not effective against it.

    So which is it?

    Both.

    You know that picture that goes along with Covid, the spikey ball? I think of it like a stickle-brick. For the vaccine to work, it only needs a partial match to stick. So, a vaccine is usually effective for multiple strains.

    It's also true that vaccines can be adjusted /modified if needed. "Quickly".... That's subjective. It's not days... more like months. But that's a fallback, it's not expected to be needed.



    If you think about the beginnings of Vaccines.... all this knowledge is based on finding that having had Cowpox was protective against smallpox. (Vacca is the latin for Cow, always wondered why the anti-vac groups use sheep instead of Cow for their insults, what a miss! Cows would be way more fitting). Previously people were doing things like eating smallpox pus , or ground up smallpox scabs in crappy attempts to protect themselves. That clobbered as many people who tried it as it saved. Cowpox was much better, a partial match that didn't come with the risk of killing you.


    Anyway, the point is, cowpox was a partial fit with smallpox and so offered that protection. just like the various covid vaccines can be a partial match for multiple strains of covid.

    Well tons of conspiracy mongers make a ton of money out of selling their nonsense to you guys.
    So therefore they're actually behind the corona virus.

    Follow the money!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 12,132 ✭✭✭✭pwurple


    I know from my job in supply chain that at least one of the vaccines is being produced not for profit. Ie, supplied at cost.

    (And I didn't see any line item for snakey expensive nano-technology on there either by the way! but if you see any jabs being sold at 100,000$ a go to cover that kind of tech, let me know.)

    What money?

    Right, much like the flu vaccine/s. If it varies a lot a new vaccine may need to be developed.

    So it is all about control

    what control? can you answer my questions now please...you promised you would


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,203 ✭✭✭✭Lex Luthor


    Did you not hear what he just said?
    No vaccine no school, thats the usual response to people who wont take the vaccine and their children
    Exclude them

    But he said schools were safe


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,203 ✭✭✭✭Lex Luthor


    and you have Eilis Ryan of the Workers Party weighing in saying the vaccine should be mandatory

    She's done a bit of a u-turn then in regard to her campaign on abortion when she was a bit advocate for the STOP POLICING MY BODY CAMPAIGN

    I'd say the local office supplies stores around Kildare St have all run out of brown envelopes


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,383 ✭✭✭olestoepoke


    I'm all for vacinnes, my two children were born in the us and spent their first few years there and so were needled up more than kids here in Ireland. Their doc here couldn't believe the amount of jabs they got. That said I'm uncomfortable the way this one is being rolled out. It all feels a little rushed and forced to me. I read that my chances of survival if I get covid is around the 98% mark so why not just vaccinate the vulnerable and those that want it and let people alone who don't want it?

    You're really clutching at straws now. Might be time to have a little think about whether there is actually a conspiracy or if you just want there to be one to satisfy your wild imagination.

    I won't watch a random video no...I am asking you what the conspiracy is.
    I don't want music videos, youtube videos, tweets, blog posts etc etc.
    Just a direct answer from you...what is the vaccine conspiracy in your own words...please

    you guys are constantly looking for proof, links, etc

    Excluded from what? Who is going to exclude you?
    Seriously why are you so against a vaccine that may be the only way for the world to return to normal? Why are you having trouble accepting this? Is it paranoia or are you so against big corporations that you are willing for every year for the foreseeable future to be like 2020?

    Even if you can't answer those questions( none of them are particularly difficult) just answer this one...why should I be worried about the vaccine?

    You rarely provide the links and evidence you're asked for, when when you do, it becomes very apparent that you were lying or where misunderstanding what was in the link. And this was likely the reason you were so reluctant to provide them.

    Likewise the reason you are so afraid to actually state your beliefs, is that you know they are ridiculous and will be torn apart very easily.
    Or worse yet, it will expose that you're talking out of your arse and you can't even invent a ridiculous conspiracy that hasn't been fed to you by youtube cranks.

    probably more that you haven't actually contributed much except vagueness.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,154 ✭✭✭✭Dohnjoe


    "There's a conspiracy"

    -"Okay what it the conspiracy?"

    50 pages of dodging, evading and vapid whataboutery

    Are you suggesting I put a drug into my body that I am not comfortable taking in order for the world to maybe return to normal?
    Thats a big ask if you are

    I can't tell you why you should be worried about the vaccine but if you have doubts, queries, concerns, ask yourself the following questions:
    • Do you trust a vaccine that was developed in record time compared to other vaccines that took many many years to develop?
    • Do you trust a vaccine that is being developed by companies that have pushed for exemptions from lawsuits from any harmful side effects and complications?
    • Do you trust a government that has agreed to indemnify five drug companies producing Covid-19 vaccines against any liabilities that arise from complications?
    • Do you trust RNA vaccines when there was very limited clinical studies for long term effects of the vaccine?
    • Do you trust the clinical trials of the vaccine or believe they were done sufficiently?
    • Do you believe the clinical trials were done for long enough to establish any medium to long term side effects?

    These would be the questions I have asked myself and are the reasons I have based my decision on why I wont be taking it

    I hope this answers your question
