What is in the COVID-19 Vaccine?

[@BuceGar]

There is nothing rational about injecting yourself with something that fundamentally alters your body, so you can get limited immunity from a disease with a 99.998% recovery rate, IF you even get it. There are over 3,400 deaths and 260,00 adverse reactions reported on VAERS, when the typical annual flu vaccine only has approximately 100 deaths and 1,000 adverse reactions on average. Don't you find it odd that the media never talks about this? Or that anyone, including doctors who are qualified to talk about this, are immediately censored and banned if they raise even the most minor of concerns? There is nothing scientific about this. Science, REAL science, includes open discussion, double blind studies, and peer review. All that this last year has been is a nonstop marketing fear campaign, while forcing everyone to comply through threat of government force, and social coercion.

[@arpadlenart9616]

@@BuceGar I don't know, but using the worldometers' covid data 171 million people infected worldwide, almost 4 million deaths, 153 million recovered. The recovery rate is more like 153/171 = 0.89, so 89% recovery rate. With fatality rate of 4/171 = 0.02, so 2% fatality rate. The rest are currently ill or have not yet reported their recovery. Taking this into a worldwide perspective, 7.7 billion people live on Earth, 2% of 7.7 billion is 154 million people assuming everyone gets infected by covid (likely without restrictions and vaccination). In my opinion (I AM NOT AN EXPERT OR QUALIFIED FOR THIS!!!) that is still a lot. Also, in many countries, the healthcare system is not ready to take on the unexpected increase in hospital use (for example, if only 10,000 patients are in hospital in a normal year, why should they prepare for taking in 20,000 caused by those "few" cases from covid? Waste of money from the government's perspective). So that small addition of new patients caused by covid, can destabilize the healthcare system.

I think the smallpox vaccine story is criminally under told. Smallpox killed more people than WW1 and WW2 combined, in the 20th century alone. A world wide vaccine program killed it, probably permanently, in 1980. So yea, even with 20 years of no smallpox it was still worse than both world wars in the same century they were fought and it was eradicated. Just to be clear, smallpox is also as old as recorded history, there is evidence of it on mummies from ancient egypt. The 20th century as far as I know didn't even stand out as a particularly deadly century for it either, at least per person. It may have been more deadly than all the wars ever fought, combined, and a vaccine program killed it.

I was really bummed the prof hadn't uploaded anything new for a bit, thank you baby jeezus for getting on this for me. I sincerely dig this guy's videos, in large part because I'm not very bright but he explains some pretty heady stuff in such a way that my collander of a brain manages to actually absorb and absorbs it in such a way that I can process. Hmmm IDK but that could maybe be a video itself. "And that's what you need to know about explaining stuff to dum dums". 7.899,999,999.99 billion hits by the end of the week..... hehehehe =)

"It turns out I'm also a professor of medicine! " Makes you sound like you forgot you had forgotten. Hah Thanks for all the content David came here for learning about energy production and nuclear but I honestly could listen to you cover anything.

He should talk about 💩then because he's smearing it all over the place.

Now do a video about the PCR tests

This is wonderfully explained . 👍

Thanks , and that’s what I needed to know from a person that I trust , love your stuff

Ok, I have to ask... What is that tie and where can I get one!?

[@illinoisenergyprof6878]

Thanks! I do love my ties, but certainly can't remember where I got them. I have been collecting them for 40 years!

[@sarcasmo57]

Thank you professor.

This should be a PSA and run on every TV channel, all social media, etc. Outstanding and BZ. Those not convinced by this are non-convincible.

I had COVID-19 a year ago. Then I had the first Moderna shot with no effects. But when I had the 2nd shot I felt like warmed over dog sh*t for a day and a half. Crazy chills, headache, and every muscle in my body felt like I was beat with a baseball bat. It wasn’t as bad as the COVID because I didn’t have the fever and cough. Woke up the next day and I was good as gold. Hopefully this means I’m super immune.

[@dklaroche]

Very sorry to hear about your friend.

[@dflyfpv8765]

Excellent explanation!

I wonder how well this video will age?

[@nukemman]

Thank you professor. I needed a boost to finally make an appointment to get the vaccine.

[@AreTwo2]

thanks for going to the trouble of making this. I salute you. :-)

[@MichaelGanz]

David, Awesome video!!

[@JuanPerez-mb2xh]

Thanks, that was a very good presentation. I hope you were able to change some minds.

[@texastriguy]

GREAT content as always. Been enjoying the vids on nuke stuff. Ready for more.

1:37 mRNA is not destroyed when it gets translated to protein. Normal mRNA has an average lifespan of several hours, with wide variation; but the vaccine mRNA is modified to last somewhat longer. It gets translated into protein lots and lots of times. That's a good thing for a vaccine, you only need to get a little bit of RNA into the cells to get a lot of protein.

[@illinoisenergyprof6878]

Thank you for this. I guess it is possible to make a few spike proteins, but it is broken down shortly afterwards. What I was trying to get across is that it has a limited lifetime and does go away. It does not get incorporated into your genetic code, shed out of your body, etc. It does not go into "protein-making-overdrive" as some people claim.

I’m so sorry for your loss and am grateful that you made this video. Want to show this to my coworker who is vaccine hesitant, hopefully it will help him understand that the risks of COVID outweigh any drawbacks of the shot.

[@vannk73]

This is great information, but the audio is a bit worse than your other videos unfortunately.

[@Shigawire]

Amazing video - who knew he would do one on covid and vaccines? :) Just shows his dedication to science. And he is never dismissive.

[@johnmagruder6292]

This professor is amazing! Plethora of information.
