I am not calling into question the safety of these vaccines. They are safe.
I’m pointing out that just because something is a salt doesn’t make it safe (see Sodium Cyanide), and just because a compound is mRNA doesn’t mean it isn’t dangerous.
If you base your assessment of the safety of a drug on the premises you laid out instead of on controlled studies, you’re no better than anti-vaxxers.
Every single cell in our bodies contains mRNA at all times.
That’s like saying computer viruses are fine because they’re made of code, which computers are already full of.
We’re full of mRNA, sure, but we’re full of mRNA that’s supposed to be there.
What are these ways that mRNA could mess you up of which you speak?
I’m no biologist, but perhaps mRNA that creates a prion?
While I do agree the vaccines are safe enough, saying “mRNA which we all have in our bodies all the time” is a bit misleading. The number of ways an mRNA strand could mess you up is astronomical.
The big picture might be nuanced, but link taxes aren’t. They’re a ridiculous way to try and solve a problem.
Would it be fair to charge a phonebook for listing the mailing address of a business/person? No. Mailing addresses are just bits of information that describe where to find something. Same with links.
If a business wants to make money from people going to their physical location, they stop you at the door and ask for a ticket. They don’t go after phonebooks for telling people where they’re located.
If it’s purchased as an investment, but still rented out, how does that make housing less affordable?
I fully support vacant home taxes, but the idea that investors (and people often blame foreign investors specifically) are to blame seems flawed to me.
If there was enough housing supply, prices would drop, no?
How was I supposed to know from your earlier comment that you weren’t literally saying “the COVID vaccine is safe because it’s made of things similar to stuff in our body”? 🤣
