No more for me.

Done with any vaccine that "moderates" (read that mutates) my RNA.

The vaccines left me feeling "not right," and I haven't felt right since. I've had COVID twice and admittedly, the first bout could have very well killed me. Maybe the vcaccine saved my life.

Or maybe not. But this winter, I'm trying to be wise and self-isolating to some extent, not wearing a mask when I do go out, getting my routine flu shot, being assiduous about my self-care, doing all I can to build my immune system, and praying.

My hope is in God, not big pharma.

Editor's Note:
COVID-19 vaccines cannot affect your DNA.

Pfizer and Moderna COVID-19 vaccines only give your cells instructions for how to make a protein found on the surface of the COVID-19 virus. Those instructions, called messenger RNA or mRNA, allow your muscle cells to make the protein pieces and display them on cell surfaces. This causes your body to make antibodies.

Once the protein pieces are made, the cells break down the instructions and get rid of them. The mRNA from the vaccine doesn't enter the nucleus of the cell, where your DNA is kept.

The Novavax COVID-19 vaccine uses only the parts of a virus that best stimulate your immune system. This type of COVID-19 vaccine contains harmless S proteins. Once your immune system recognizes the S proteins, it creates antibodies and defensive white blood cells.

Thank you editor, my eyebrows really shot up when I read that sentence about vaccine moderating one's DNA.

Obviously this is a personal decision, and some people do indeed react negatively to the vaccinations, though this is really rare in comparison to those it helps.
And no, it's untrue that "jabs" don't prevent infections, although much of the time they tend to at least minimize intensity of the illness if you DO succumb.
I've had Covid only once, and I've had about 10 "jabs" in total. Will be getting this latest formula within a couple of weeks.

@chuckstran I don’t agree with the editors note. I’m suffering severe quality of life loss due to unexplained muscle atrophy and wasting and I was super athletic before getting the shots. There are also other types of dna like mitochondria that is outside of the nucleus that we have no clue if and how it’s affecting or changed that. Many of us seem to be presenting with mitochondria myopathies.

There is also a doc that speaks about how the shots could be acting as adducts to our dna—essentially like glue sticking to it and essentially causing dna scars so to speak.

Yes what the editor is saying is what should happened—in theory. But we really can’t refute that there isn’t some change on a genomic level and no one is studying this to prove or deny this in the injured or deceased. The fact that we took something that is ‘giving instructions to the cells’ is daunting enough and how do we know the body can even effectively clear this… it could be very well too that those of us with LC or long vax are a result of the spike instructions never turning off. And who knows what downstream mutations and impacts to proteins like misfolding is occurring.

Certainly it’s some misalignment in the body bc my muscles and those of several others I know are no longer regenerating.

All I’m saying here is that we have to be open minded toward these injures and consider all possibilities no matter how uncomfortable that may make us feel.
