Sometimes a person doesn't know, until it after it happens ...

I had an allergic reaction (no known allergies) to a prescribed muscle relaxer --- popped the pill, trusting the doctor --- good thing, it wasn't life threatening.
I had the same thing happen with blood pressure medication. Made me so dizzy I couldn’t stand and stopped taking it. All medication has the potential for side effects.

Turned out for me the prescribed muscle relaxer reacted to another medicine that I'm on. My daughter who is studying a medical field, when speaking with her over the phone about it, quickly looked into a database she is familiar with and told me, what happened --- not only is medicine fallible, so are doctors, in that the doctor should have known before prescribing it, being familiar with my medications and all.


Point being the 'risk' is there, so should be the 'choice'.

Ditto and kudos for not falling victim to the tin foil hat crowd. I can't wait to get my vaccine. My friend who is still working as a Respiratory Therapist and is immunocompromised got her first shot two days ago. She's doing fine.

All potent medications will have some possible side effects. For most people, they will have mild side effects. For a rare few, anaphylaxis. I've seen they think the polyethylene glycol might be to blame. Sounds like a preservative.

The fact is we won't get out of this mess without mass vaccination. Even now, they think 430 K or more deaths by April. There's always pros and cons of vaccines, but the alternative is much worse.

So he didn't, and now he's got the same haters screaming that he DIDN'T jump to the front of the line because he's afraid of his own vaccine.

If he didn't know that you can't win when dealing with the haters, now he does know.
As an RN this info caught my eye..mainly the medical jargon Luciferase that is the vaccine by Moderna. Any feedback AFTER you watch video appreciated.

That's not true.

The NVICP act of 1986 allows you to sue vaccine makers, but you have to go through the vaccine court first and lose there before you can file a lawsuit in a district court.

As an RN, you should know to stick to scientific and evidence-based practice and studies, not ridiculous conspiracy videos on Facebook and YouTube. I stopped listening when she claimed Moderna only used 40 volunteers, when they enrolled tens of thousands. Then I googled her name an a BBC fact-check article came up: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/53525002?...MjeUKFPdnD366A

There is no luciferase in the Moderna COVID-19 vaccine. That's its name: Moderna COVID-19 vaccine.

Carrie Madej does not know what she is talking about. She is a certified crank.

About luciferase. It is an enzyme, nothing more.

Nothing devilish about it. You enjoy watching fireflies, do you not? Most people do.

Use of the enzyme in relation to COVID-19:

The enzyme was used in the research leading up to the development of the mRNA vaccine:

It would probably be Giuliani and Powell's next career move if you could sue the vaccine makers.
