But the people who loudly argue against them instead of understanding what they are for are still morons. There are still so many conspiracy theories about the vaccines circulating. I saw one like a week saying that autopsies of vaccinated people showed that 95% of them had weird multiple-feet long blood clots. I don't know if that was AI generated, good old fashioned trolling, or people who actually believe it... but the fact that these sorts of things are still circulating years later is insane. They said we would all be dead within months, then they said we would all die within years. I've had like 5 vaccines, where's my promised death!? permalink fedilink source parent [–] Luffy879@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 child) Except the part where the infection is made physically incapable of entering body cells, recreating and destroying the cell in the process AFAIK, I was basically asleep in 10th grade biology This tissue loss could result from reduced oxygen supply or severe immune system inflammation during the infection. This basically says exactly that. Its a side effect of the infection being that, not something covid 19 itself does. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] SinAdjetivos@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago Unfortunately, that is what was advertised in a lot of official channels but not remotely what was delivered. A 'perfect' vaccine does work like that, where the specific entry-point the pathogen uses gets patched and completely prevents infection. Very few vaccines work like that unfortunately. The vaccine that was delivered was instead a 'communication blitz and drill' to train the body 'if you see this guy kill him real good!' where it used mrna to directly put COVID onto the immune system's priority kill list and supplies some target practice. The problem with the second type is the immune system can't be everywhere all at once and so some amount of infection does occur which does result in those 'side effect of the infection' occuring. In addition that 'target practice' can and does cause similar side effects. All that said, imagine how much worse those side effects would be if the virus was allowed to infect more in addition to hangig around longer! permalink fedilink source parent
