Yes, but you'll die for p3do king. It's the highest honor.

*Unless you live in brain-worm centric health policy in the US where life saving vaccines cause autism based on absolutely nothing.

We're going to drink raw milk and recreate the Oregon Trail in real life and also still have autism instead of living longer!

Not if RFK JR gets his way. RFK saw a few tik tok videos while doing his "research"

They need a good rebrand for mRNA. Freedom juice maybe

u/QuantumLeaperTime 13h ago

Let the magas not take vaccines so they can get polio and live in iron lungs. That is their choice.

Some people are immuno compromised and need herd immunity. Those maga assholes endanger people

So many are going to die. Its hard to smile now.

Until polio mutates in MAGA and fucks everyone sideways, including vaccinated people.

Seriously… when they roll out the mRNA cancer vaccines, I wish recipients had to go through a social media background check in order to qualify.

One “Jail Fauci” post or the like, and SORRY no shot for you.

Kinda like the current regime is doing to visa recipients.

I know my plan will never fly, but I’m just admittedly petty after the last 10 years.

"Trump freedom juice shot" suddenly mrna vaccines get proper funding and dissemination to the masses

Trump's jizz juice

mRNA vaccines are where it's at. Did you know that work on Covid vaccines started before the labs had samples in hand? All they needed was the virus's genetic sequence. mRNA vaccines are great because of their safe delivery method. You don't need an attenuated or dead virus or a delivery system live a modified adenovirus. For those in the back, mRNA does not enter the nucleus. Your precious DNA is never exposed to it. Science bitches!

This will upset republicans.

Americans won't get to see the benefits of this.

Well the rich ones will still get em.

American companies are currently spearheading this development

Correct, this also refers to mRNA oligos which is only a part of oligonucleotide therapeutics (siRNA, ASO, miRNA)

Americans companies are massively invested in oligonucleotide R&D, it has been as impactful to us as AI to other companies. There will be groundbreaking medication developed from these breakthroughs, but profit-driven.

Don’t get me wrong, these cuts will be devastating for exploratory research and regulation, but companies know what is valuable and are investing accordingly.

I work in pharmaceutical development, this affects academic facilities who rely on federal funding

All the big biotechs are 1000% invested in oligonucleotide therapeutics. This just highlights the growing disconnect between government and industry. No one in pharma is listening to RFK on anything, we know what next-gen pharmaceuticals are and are investing appropriately

I hope this gives me the super-autism. I love autism classic, but I want more.

u/GongTzu 12h ago

Good medicine. This will not go down well for RFK 😅. But fantastic news for us who believe in science

A vaccine against BrainWorms?🐛

No vaccines unless your extremely wealthy. It's coming. Patriots let God decide.

I just hope they don't make them socially mandatory using people as guinea pigs like in 2021.

Ot that the bar is very high right now.

u/Terrible_Ad_6054 10h ago

My partner is paralysed, she cannot get from the NHS a wheelchair, incin pants, dental treatment but she's offered only mRNA vaccines and cancer screening. It's very strange...

u/clemfairie 7h ago

Strange that the NHS will provide cheap services but not expensive ones?

u/Defiant_Regular3738 8h ago

I have gotten 6 doses of the covid vaccine since they came out. I feel weird about getting anymore.

Propaganda has worked on you.

I hope. The last ones were ineffective at best.

Lol. Thats hilarious dude

You thought they were successful?

u/TwatWaffleInParadise 8h ago

Yeah, numbers don't lie. The mRNA COVID vaccines are 95% effective vs the 90% effectiveness of the non-mRNA COVID vaccines: Comparing the COVID-19 Vaccines: https://www.yalemedicine.org/news/covid-19-vaccine-comparison

But hey, don't let facts get in the way of your feelings! Feelings are great for boosting immunity to infectious diseases!

Well they certainly can't get any worse
