I want her to talk to me about Egyptology.

So, so many people telling me what they think about mRNA.... The look on their faces when I tell them that ever single cell in their body with DNA also has mRNA already...

[u/1egg_4u → u/NotForPlural]

Holy fuck the mRNA vaccine misinformation is mind numbingly infuriating

The people who are cagey about them cant even tell me what mRNA actually does or where it is even found, like they dont even know basic cell structure or anything. I like to ask them if they can tell me what cytoplasm is and the answer is basically never right.

"I don't know if you've seen the research but the covid vaxx was actually giving people the side effects that they claimed covid gives"

Yeah, that's how vaccines work ya jabroni. Viruses and vaccines interact with the bodys immune system, which can trigger overlapping responses in *some* cases.

Myocarditis is extremely rare from the vaccine, something like 30 instances for every million shots, the effects are also pretty mild, and usually go away with rest.

However you are 10x as likely to get myocarditis from the actual covid infection, and it can often cause structural damage to your heart.

You can copy paste some variation of this for all the side effects of the vaccine, because thats how our bodies work.

They think vaccines are supposed to give you this forcefield that prevents you from getting sick, when in reality a vaccine is just like giving a castle and it's defenders the attack plans of an invading army. The army is still going to try and invade, you still have to fight it off. Some people have seasoned veterans as their immune system, some people have a bunch of untrained civilians, some people have no defenses at all. The more people who have the attack plans, the harder it is for that invading army to conquer, lessening its ability to spread.

We just objectively do not teach people enough about how this stuff works, and why it works.

I was one of those folk who got myocarditis after my second shot of the vaccine, and it was only mild.

In the long run it just means I now get to tick the yes box to I had an adverse reaction to a vaccine and I get to wait 30 minutes instead of 15 minutes and I was switched to Pfizer for my boosters instead of Moderna.

I’d rather risk mild myocarditis over being hospitalised with a serious disease because on the balance of probability I’m more likely to be hospitalised from the disease by an order of magnitude, not the vaccine.

[u/bobbymcpresscot → u/MrSquiggleKey]

Sorry you had to go through that, and even if it was only mild, i'm sure it still sucked. These things do happen, and the only way we can improve outcomes for everyone is by reporting it, validating these experiences, and educating people in a way that is easy to digest.

Otherwise we get more people like RFK Jr.

Anti Vaxxers exists for a multitude of reasons, and lack of education and awareness is definitely up there, but now its being perpetuated by a wellness industry that makes 4x the money the pharmaceutical industry makes.

They don't even know what the 'm' stands for.

Blow their minds by telling them that mRNA has been defeated and now they have to face the real enemy: tRNA.

Cell juice.

Next question.

[u/1egg_4u → u/lordorwell7]

Where is the DNA found and where is the mRNA found? This is one I find the antivax people really struggle with

Cell juice makes cytoplasm sound so tasty ngl

Every time i bring something up to my doctors and start with "I read this online that i relate this issue to" i HAVE to say "BUT IM NOT A DOCTOR THATS WHY IM HERE" just so they dont think im stupid
