Stable alternative to mRNA vaccines?

[VocalNeal]

I am bemused by all this. If one wishes or used to wish to go to some countries mainly African? then a yellow fever jab was either recommended or required. I don't remember any discussions about the manufacturer or type of the vaccine. I guess there may have been people who decided they didn't need to go to Africa that much but of course in Africa one would only meet , or subsequently chatting about experiences, with people who got the jab.

Same goes for all the other "tropical" jabs in circulation.

I can't believe you are giving credibility to a media article the contains gross misinterpretation.

 

"by which the AstraZeneca vaccine causes rare but devastating blood clots that gobble up the body's supply of platelets."

Back to your original comment, you called it pure speculation.  It is not, read the science  paper.

 

And now you call a scientific paper a gross misinterpretation?  Or the highly respected   WebMD site that hosts the paper not credible?  About WebMD:

 

During March 2020, WebMD's network of websites reached more unique visitors each month than any other leading private or government healthcare website, making it the leading health publisher in the United States.

 

It is also very highly accredited. "   URAC, the Utilization Review Accreditation Commission, has accredited WebMD's operations continuously since 2001 regarding everything from proper disclosures and health content to security and privacy^"

 

It all sounds very credible. Clearly your response is not.

But it'll be years before we know what other effects they may have.  That's the rub with "long term" effects.  It takes a long term to identify them.

 

Come back after some vaccinated women with vaccinated husbands have conceived kids, taken them to term and we know they're healthy and free of learning disabilities.

 

For me, at age 64 with no future plans to pop out kids, it was an easy decision.  For my nieces and nephews in their 20's with virtually no risk of Covid death and with kids in their future, it's a much different calculus.

 

Lol. You can safely tell your relatives that they're wasting their time and they'd be better off reading up on how sex actually works. Sounds like you got spooked on some conspiracy theories some time ago.

I am with you on that.  I do not have a problem with vaccines being fast tracked for emergency use on the basis of using established methodology. The mRNA vaccines do not have that long term history and more caution should have been used. Who is to say that in 10 or 20 years that a problem will not come to light, and may be worse than the pandemic.

Of course anything is possible as the saying goes.

But the reason that the mRNA vaccines have to be refrigerated is because they disintegrate into their constituent bases very rapidly, they are in other words unstable and temporary.

The fact that they are only briefly intact in the body would seem to be a factor the decreases the likelihood of long term affects.
