because they didn't pay attention in high school biology when we learned al about viruses and bacteria.

Rather than read it, they make shit up, based on their 10th grade education and time spent reading health magazines in doctors offices and nail salons.

It's nonsense.

Dangerous nonsense. Report it. Every time you see it.
Enough with my stupid ignorance is as good as your Post doctoral research fellow in viral immunology. It's not even close, bud.

I'm pretty sure they get their "science" from cartoons and off-brand monster movies these days; reading is "elitist."

Your cells use your DNA to produce messenger RNA which creates the proteins your body needs.

The vaccine is messenger RNA that produces parts of the virus for your immune system to react to.

The vaccine does not alter your DNA. When it is broken down by your body it’s gone and those virus fragments are no longer produced. By then your immune system is trained to respond to the virus and prevent infection.

The proteins that the vaccine messenger RNA transcribe are just specific virus proteins. Those proteins are a tiny part of the virus and can’t self replicate. The vaccine doesn’t contain the virus

The use of some words that are true in a paragraph 99% wrong makes it harder to fight.

Who reviews a concrete block? I mean, come on: as long as they’re the right size for your project and the store has enough of them that aren’t broken, you get them. It’s your basic commodity item.
