I got a kitten from a home in a town where Covid is raging.

He's bitten me several times.

Does that count ? Sort of a Kitty-Cat Vaccination ?

this is how the bogus science practitioners work
they post up nonsense and any correspondence with them is a victory
they get noticed and that does play to a certain crowd
not the professional science crowd who aren't their marks anyway
the real science community is well aware of the tactic, mostly they ignore them
and that seems the best practice on the whole, there's your answer, deal with it as you like

You can better ask yourself, what is real science.The reason she is ignored because politics deside what can be published in journals like the Lancet and not so long ago this journal had to retract a study which said hydrochloroquine didn't help against covid 19.
The online medical journal The Lancet has apologized to readers after retracting a study that said the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine did not help to curb COVID-19 and might cause death in patients.

The study was withdrawn because the company that provided data would not provide full access to the information for a third-party peer review, saying to do so would violate client agreements and confidentiality requirements, The Lancet said in a statement.

that's not politics per se, it's the mainstream scientific belief which the journal reviewers use in judging articles
it's not perfect, mistakes get made
but the snippet you post is evidence that the system works
when there's solid evidence retractions occur, science is advanced
Tenpenny will stay an antivaxxer until her dying breath, that's not science it's dogma

seems like the most common reaction
24 hrs after 2nd and quite the energy drop, for pfizer anyways
moderna's has a nastier bite for some
pretty much seeing in people that I know just what has been described in the mainstream media
mainstream media has documented the vaccine reactions very accurately

Problem is that the thought that the vaccines are a panacee for this pandemic is an illusion.The flu was never wipe out with vaccines, so does this virus.Personally never have been vaccinated for the small pox and whooping cough because of the side effects it can cause on the brain.Never had the whooping cough although there were a few outbreaks in the past.Small pox was already in decline.
That dr.Tenpenny is an antivaxxer has to do with the lack of good science behind it what she said in certain interviews.

Comparing the flu to the covid virus shows a lack of knowledge about the two.

https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-...th%20influenza.
What's the difference between COVID-19 and the flu?


COVID-19 and the flu have several differences. COVID-19 and the flu are caused by different viruses. COVID-19 is caused by a new coronavirus called SARS-CoV-2, while influenza is caused by influenza A and B viruses.

Symptoms of COVID-19 and the flu appear at different times and have some differences. With COVID-19, you may experience loss of taste or smell. COVID-19 symptoms generally appear two to 14 days after exposure. Flu symptoms usually appear about one to four days after exposure. COVID-19 appears to be more contagious and to spread more quickly than the flu. Severe illness such as lung injury is more frequent with COVID-19 than with influenza. The mortality rate also is higher with COVID-19 than the flu.

Another difference is that the flu can be treated with antiviral drugs. Only one antiviral drug, called remdesivir, is currently approved to treat COVID-19. Researchers are evaluating many drugs and treatments for COVID-19. Some drugs may help reduce the severity of COVID-19.

You can get an annual flu vaccine to help reduce your risk of the flu. The flu vaccine can also reduce the severity of the flu and the risk of serious complications. Each year's flu vaccine provides protection from the three or four influenza viruses that are expected to be the most common during that year's flu season. The vaccine can be given as a shot (injection) or as a nasal spray.

The flu vaccine doesn't protect you from getting COVID-19. Research also shows that getting the flu vaccine does not make you more likely to get COVID-19 or other respiratory infections.

Dr. Sherri Tenpenny cons people into thinking her information is valid just like Trump U conned people into thinking they were going to a real university.

another tidbit on the flu vaccine
people that get the flu vaccine regularly have lower rates of heart disease
or so I recall from a few years back, did stick in the mind
and this is actually quite consistent with many an infectious disease
virus diseases can cause inflammation, and inflammation is the Achilles heel of human's health
covid simply appears to be a more extreme form of a virus triggering inflammation
but there is ample precedent on this subject

I agree. Health care costs will be high for a while as the detrimental effects appear and people get sick and die, but let's hope this stops the fools from believing everything they are told by those with an agenda. Like the tee vee and the guvamint.

Canadians seem to be waking up. {snip}

Waking up? No, we are waiting. What you may not realize, is that the rest of the world doesn’t have easy and exclusive access to vaccines. Canada, like many other countries did not have a single Pfizer plant or a Moderna facility to order around, so we have to scramble for every dose. Only 37.8% of the population have had a dose – note the singular. We are delaying the 2nd shot for 2 months – despite the manufacturer’s recommendation - because we don’t have enough supply. And that describes Europe, Africa, South America . . .

So no, we are not waking up. We are waiting for more vaccines so we can return to a normal life.

People spending their days watching YouTube video's then bragging they don't watch "Tee Vee" is like an alcoholic telling people they don't go to the bar anymore..... they drink at home with friends instead.

or just as likely no friends...

it's even funnier when the anti-science folks get their "info" from youtube,which is made of science...but i've noticed that many of those folks are incapable of detecting unintentional irony
