Fake News! MoPH says mRNA vax is not radioactive!

[webfact]

Thai caption: "Ministry of Public Health react to "fake news""

 

Sanook reported that Dr Suphakij Sirilak, director of the Department of Medical Sciences and other senior health officials appeared on Facebook Live to talk about new strains of Covid-19 in Thailand.

 

Suphakit said that testing for new strains was a continuing process but there were none.

 

They are all Delta, Alpha and Beta at the moment; Delta accounted for 97.5%, Alpha 2.2% and Beta 0.3%.

 

It was also stated during the broadcast that online rumors that mRNA vaccines were radioactive were untrue.

 

Tests were done on every batch and if any irregularities were found the whole batch would be discarded. 

 

Presence of "nanoparticles" were within US and EU parameters, it was stated.

Fake news? We will know for sure if people vaccinated with MRNA vaccines start to glow in the dark.

Yes, well I am ambivalent about that. France is in a better situation than the UK now wrt the  Energy crisis because they committed to nuclear power. In fact the UK buys power from France. As  a Brit, being dependent on France for anything, grieves me.

So we are clear. Nobody has the vaguest idea what strains are floating around and in what numbers. Hospitals can't test for this. All they have is a wacky PCR test they upcycle and some dubious ATK tests. Same is true in States and world over - it's not a Thai thing.

 

We've no idea about Delta. Rise in cases could just be laziness and lack of education.

Makes for some good fear mongering though.  Easy to get people to listen if they are scared.

So if bars can be open for New Year some people won't have a problem proving their vaccine status!

Just don't panic if your dentures glow in the bars, it's only the UV light shining on them.

I think this is all put out by the government.  

 

there's such high demand for the Pfeizer they will be out of it this

month.

 

The news I'm hearing is nobody wants the Sinovac.  There is plenty of it about to expire.

Your G&T will glow under UV too!

Most radioactive things do NOT glow in the dark . 1 of the many many fake things around . Idc what you believe in , but i am 100% sure there are no radioactive components whatsoever in any kind of vaccine , not for covid , not for polio , not for flu , not for any of them .

Fake info spread by "influencers" who do not know anything at all but do like to have many followers so they can have your money .

Fox News! MoPH says mRNA vax is radioactive!

[johnmcc6]

There always has been new strains and allways will be. some worse than others but over the centuries 99% of them are  beat by your normal human immune system. No way will i take some untested experimental drug. Over 8 decades i have survived swine flu, bird flu ,equine  flue bat flu dengue fever and three marriages .I suspect I have survived many more virus attacks it;s just no one named them.

Myself, not worried about glowing but you won't get an mRNA vaccine in my arm!

 

Thank you for being part of the control group. Your brave and selfless risk-taking will not be forgotten. Good on you! ????????

did he also say that the earth is not flat ? needs to keep quiet . just by mentioning radioactivity, one million thais found something else to worry about needlessly re. vax….

no other strains … MU now waiting to enter the conversation ………

[Scott Tracy]

Good grief. What more absolute <deleted> will some people come up with against vaccination against the corona virus?

 

I always thought I would continue to support the fact that people can have differing opinions, but this anti vax continued traducing of the currently available and approved vaccines is really testing my patience.

Some of the stuff they spout is so plausib!e, that to uneducated and lesser educated people, and those of a more gullible nature believe it. I suppose it's about trust, or lack thereof, in the authorities.

I read an article the other day, that some chiropractors in the US are peddling anti vax info and selling snakeoil, or it's current equivalent...Educated people, you would have thought. Educated enough to try to make fast buck out of a pandemic. I have also read articles that some health care professionals are anti vax. They have an axe to grind? I have no idea. I haven't seen any of them selling snakeoil...yet.

 

I am rapidly approaching the opinion that these people should be forced to work on the front line, without PPE, as they seem not to be concerned about the virus. Made to watch people struggle to breathe, struggle to live. I wish I could articulate what was really on my mind, but I would be castigated and banned from here. But there is a poem by Shatterdprince, the title of which sums up my thoughts about anti vaxxers generally.

Troll post with dubious information, reported and removed.

[richard_smith237]

Actually, there is a very very weak element of truth...  Everything in the world is radioactive. 

We are, a cup of coffee is....  anything we touch, consume and look at is radioactive to a degree. 

 

Bananas are radioactive at roughly 0.1 microsieverts of ionizing radiation.

 

Brazil nuts contain radiation, about 1000x more than Bananas.... 

 

But.... we’d have to consume about 2 million KG’s of Brazil nuts to receive a lethal dose !!

 

 

Thus: While factually correct, Vaccines do contain radiation, but at levels so insignificant they are not worth discussion. 

 

Someone has perhaps got hold of this information and like cat-nip to an anti-vaxxer, they selectively repeated the information without any understanding, this of course has been repeated by idiots - thats social media for us !!!

 

The most microscopic shred of potentially negative fact exaggerated beyond common sense to generate hysteria amongst utter fools !!!

Its fortunate then that nobody is asking you to take an ' untested , experimental drug ' , but you know that anyway.

If however you are refering to covid vaccines , nobody is forcing them on you either , nobody is even insisting you educate yourself re the vaccines .

Your choice though , not everybody likes to travel I suppose.

I think this was the gist of a previous post. The intent being to slow things down before they ran out of supplies of mRNA. Easier to deflect answers about uptake than those asked about supply.

It's only after curfew time and in areas where the curfew is enforced and especially if the person has consumed an alcoholic beverage.

A majority of the new tourists coming in are vaccinated so this shouldn’t be an issue.

A lot of claptrap about the Covid vaccines. They are not "radioactive" beyond normal background levels.

They also, with over five BILLION doses administered, and normal US FDA trials, et alia, are not "experimental", "untested", etc. Just plain old ignorance to suggest such.

As an early benficiary of the Salk polio vaccine I can authoritatively say, IMO, the antivax crowd are a bunch of hysterical numpties.
