You don’t know what you are talking about, you don’t know what mRNA
\nis, and you’re spreading idiotic lies. Maybe you do so unwittingly,
\nbecause of bad education. Maybe you do so because you’ve talked to
\n“experts” or watched youtube videos by charlatans that don’t know what
\nthey are talking about.<\/p>\n
But dammit, regardless of where you have gotten your mis-information
\nfrom, any Linux kernel discussion list isn’t going to have your
\nidiotic drivel pass uncontested from me.<\/p>\n
Vaccines have saved the lives of literally tens of millions of people.<\/p>\n
Just for your edification in case you are actually willing to be
\neducated: mRNA doesn’t change your genetic sequence in any way. It is
\nthe exact same intermediate – and temporary – kind of material that
\nyour cells generate internally all the time as part of your normal
\ncell processes, and all that the mRNA vaccines do is to add a dose
\ntheir own specialized sequence that then makes your normal cell
\nmachinery generate that spike protein so that your body learns how to
\nrecognize it.<\/p>\n
The half-life of mRNA is a few hours. Any injected mRNA will be all
\ngone from your body in a day or two. It doesn’t change anything
\nlong-term, except for that natural “your body now knows how to
\nrecognize and fight off a new foreign protein” (which then tends to
\nfade over time too, but lasts a lot longer than a few days). And yes,
\nwhile your body learns to fight off that foreign material, you may
\nfeel like shit for a while. That’s normal, and it’s your natural
\nresponse to your cells spending resources on learning how to deal with
\nthe new threat.<\/p>\n
And of the vaccines, the mRNA ones are the most modern, and the most
\ntargeted – exactly because they do *not* need to have any of the other
\ngenetic material that you traditionally have in a vaccine (ie no need
\nfor basically the whole – if weakened – bacterial or virus genetic
\nmaterial). So the mRNA vaccines actually have *less* of that foreign
\nmaterial in them than traditional vaccines do. And a *lot* less than
\nthe very real and actual COVID-19 virus that is spreading in your
\nneighborhood.<\/p>\n
Honestly, anybody who has told you differently, and who has told you
\nthat it changes your genetic material, is simply uneducated. You need
\nto stop believing the anti-vax lies, and you need to start protecting
\nyour family and the people around you. Get vaccinated.<\/p>\n
I think you are in Germany, and COVID-19 numbers are going down. It’s
\nspreading a lot less these days, largely because people around you
\nhave started getting the vaccine – about half having gotten their
\nfirst dose around you, and about a quarter being fully vaccinated. If
\nyou and your family are more protected these days, it’s because of all
\nthose other people who made the right choice, but it’s worth noting
\nthat as you see the disease numbers go down in your neighborhood,
\nthose diminishing numbers are going to predominantly be about people
\nlike you and your family.<\/p>\n
So don’t feel all warm and fuzzy about the fact that covid cases have
\ndropped a lot around you. Yes, all those vaccinated people around you
\nwill protect you too, but if there is another wave, possibly due to a
\nmore transmissible version – you and your family will be at _much_
\nhigher risk than those vaccinated people because of your ignorance and
\nmis-information.<\/p>\n
Get vaccinated. Stop believing the anti-vax lies.<\/p>\n
And if you insist on believing in the crazy conspiracy theories, at
\nleast SHUT THE HELL UP about it on Linux kernel discussion lists.<\/p>\n
