You should see MY arm whenever I get a flu shot. I bruise like an over-ripe peach. It's always sore.

I think I'll be getting my vaccination as soon as I possibly can. Really.

Same here.

How many long term health studies are there for this new class of mRNA vaccines? Pobeka Dec 2020 #36

Once vaccine enters the body, it should be quickly degraded. LisaL Dec 2020 #39

The word "new" is your clue. MineralMan Dec 2020 #41

I agree with all of that. Only time will tell of unintended long term consequences. Pobeka Dec 2020 #43

Not a virus. Just the spike protein itself is in the vaccine. MineralMan Dec 2020 #44

Nope. mRNA has to hijack the cell's factory to produce the protein. read this: Pobeka Dec 2020 #45
