I don't for one minute believe it was a coincidence that the Pfizer press release came after the election for example They, like the vast majority of the world, didn't like Trump and didn't want to give him the benefit of the announcement before the election So with that said I firmly believe we'll see vaccinations on or close to Christmas Eve and the marketing with be "Pfizer's Christmas miracle" or similar Nothing conspiratorial about this. It's simply marketing and business

AI practitioners would be better qualified at dealing with ultra low termperatures for long term storage and the thawing out process. It seems to be a reasonably complex process and mistakes are possible. Discussion of it herehttps://www.nature.com/articles/srep28108 AI practioners are well used to dealing with temperatures well below -80 - in fact -80 is probably a doddle for them.

An absolutely horrible feeling of it hits you hard. Especially if you're active, healthy and fit . Sounds like a cliche, if I was active healthy and fit the flu shouldn't have that much of an impact on me. I'm hardly ever sick except for when I got the flu, then I decided one year to get the vaccine, it works. No side effects or microchips or liquidised whataboutery flowing through my veins. There's millions of vaccines going out every year, and you've numpties saying they use parts of aborted feuteses in every vaccine, what a shower of I'll informed idiot's. The usual types of woke, woo spiritual narcissists SJWs. My exe was a lecturer in biochemistry, and she said these things are untrue. She explained how vaccines work in layman's terms and what their consistency is . If medical science is out to get us and people believe in that well you know who your enemy is. I'm a slightly earthy bohemian type, love the paranormal, mythology and folklore, a bit out there. But even though I'm considered a bit out there and possibly delusional. I'm not anti vaccine, they're there for our good. Microchips FFS Turning us into zombies more FFS

Last year H3N2 wasn't in the flu vaccine and was spreading like wild fire If you got the vaccine for the last 10 years, you were unprotected for 5 years with its 50% efficacy Placebo affect?
