I've seen this thing a lot, and I can't agree more.

mRNA - It genetically modifies one's DNA

So, on that regard I refuse. Not to mention Bell's Palsy and other "side" effects it has. My pop's has Bell's Palsy himself though it's nowhere near as bad as others, I think he had it since birth or something so that's something I definitely don't want to have it myself.

Furthermore, UNESCO released the Universal Declaration on Bioethics and Human Rights so, if necessary I'll use that as defense to reject the vaccine. I'm healthy and don't need a vaccine that could make me sick.

Facts about COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines


They cannot give someone COVID-19.
-mRNA vaccines do not use the live virus that causes COVID-19.


They do not affect or interact with our DNA in any way.
-mRNA never enters the nucleus of the cell, which is where our DNA (genetic material) is kept.
-The cell breaks down and gets rid of the mRNA soon after it is finished using the instructions.

By a virus with a 99% survival rate.
and much much higher for older people or people with pre exisiting health conditions. also this isnt just to prevent death, but also (and not limited to) to prevent hospitalization and the virus can still negatively affect your health long term. youre only ever thinking about yourself

If seatbelts work, why do we need brakes? If brakes work, why do we need seatbelts?
If you get COVID, you might get symptoms. If you get hit by a car, you will get injured. There's a huge difference.
and don't get me started on airbags
Airbags kill. Lockdowns cause suicides. What do you know, it's an actually good analogy.

The same applies to the flu.

302,261 Americans have died from COVID-19, including two of my relatives. You can fucking go to Hell.

  1. This is irrelevant to the fact that COVID-19 has killed 302,261 Americans. I don't know why I need to say this.
  2. If we dropped a nuclear bomb on a city with a population less than 0.4 million (to keep the total deals below 2.9M), this meme would be just as helpful (i.e. not at all helpful).
  3. This data is provisional and may be inaccurate.
  4. People have pointed out to you already that deaths have gone down in part because people are sheltering in place. You are engaging in, at best, willful ignorance. At worst, you're intentionally deceiving people and encouraging behavior that can get people sick and/or killed.
Grow up or grow a brain. You're an idiotic asshole, and I no longer consider your age to be an excuse for your petulant behavior.

Because people aren't sheltering in place?
there is no one reason, it's a mix of many things. The biggest reason is things spiraled out of control and we couldn't stop the virus before it spread in communities. There are strategies we can use to try to mitigate spread but the only thing that will stop it at this point is a vaccine or herd immunity.

    It's a locked down Linux distro basically
