Lmao 20 years worth of data? Dude, NOTHING, has that much data before it's put into play. Literally nothing. Let alone in the medical realm. Saying that kind of stuff is a BS way of trying to justify your lack of intent to get it. Yet you say you will, X amount of weeks/months/years from whenever just to appease the masses.



Fine, we get it, you're not going to get the vaccine. Period. Just say it. You have no intent to get it whatsoever. That is what I'm reading my man.
For the most part, yeah, I don't want to get it. I think we established that.

Like 20 years worth of data. How about this, I will get the vaccine... in like 20 years... assuming there is no correlation between the vaccines and some bad medical issues.

I don't think you really know all the things you are using that have less than 20 years of data. For example, do you use a smartphone? We don't have 20 years of data regarding how safe it is to have a continuous stream of EM radiation coming out of your pocket.

On the other hand, mRNA vaccine research has been a thing since the 1990s, well over 20 years ago at this point.

This is a very overlooked topic! And perfect example of changes to hormones due to GMO foods.

I'm not arguing against it. I hope everybody gets it so we get this supposed herd immunity and go back to normal life. I would just rather be one of the 30%.

Haha that's the worst people who won't eat GMO food but then they'll take an mRNA vax.. alright..

Works the other way around too. People who are anti vaxxers, but eat what ever foods.

You keep contradicting yourself.

You want everybody to get it. But everybody should include you.

So you want everybody else to do the work except for you so you can reap the benefits.

And on top of that, you don't really have an exact, well-defined reason for not taking an mRNA vaccine (also, why not just get the Johnson and Johnson one?).

Like, I'd understand it if you had a solid reason: allergy to something in the vaccine, or you were a woman trying to get pregnant with IVF and the doctor said it's not safe enough yet for that, etc.

But the reasons you keep bringing up don't really have the kind of circumstance to them that would prove any kind of serious, negative outcome for you.

But, like the processes you seem so concerned about with mRNA vaccines, you keep reengineering your arguments. The difference is the virologists working on the vaccines, have a pretty good idea of what they are doing - you have no clue. I suspect you are either getting your newsfeed directly from Qanon or you desperately scour the internet for anything that mentions genes and twist that into a confused jumble of unrelated factoids.

I am curious, where are you finding this stuff? It really is the sort of "research" that the "Q" crazies use to weave their webs of fantasy about cabals of child molesting, blood drinking, satanists. You have said you are unwilling to get vaccinated. OK. As far as I can tell, no one is going to seize you, tie you to a chair, and jab a needle in your arm.

You don't need to continue to spin out webs of disjointed silliness to justify your position. Your opponents in this thread are almost certainly not going to be persuaded - and neither are you. At present, however, the "real" facts do not appear to support your meanderings. All you are doing by repackaging and regurgitating specious nonsense is further erode your, quite limited, credibility on other topics.

It's pretty much impossible to not eat geneticially modified food. Just about everything we consider food (whether animal or vegetable) has gone through gene modification either directly through gene manipulation or through selective breeding.

My wife is a vegetarian, I wasn't much of a meat eater so my diet was more or less aligned with my wife. Only diverting when I was in the office, when what was available locally worked for me.

Since the lockdown, we have slowly moved over to plant based diet, the only dairy products being milk for tea and my cornflakes (I can't do oat milk). We have also cut out oil..

Ok, now I'm going to bring up principle again. Choices. Our days are filled with strings of discrete choices. Rarely is a correct choice the easy one.

It really comes down to choosing whether to be part of the solution, or the problem.

Bananas are a great example of this. The bananas one sees in stores has been genetically modified. Even the organic ones are.
