    Or maybe scientists have just been wrong or flat out lied a few times too often.

    The son died of an enlarged heart, after running per autopsy. The heart supposedly was twice as large as normal. It happened after his first shot, and most myocarditis cases in young people come after the second shot.

    While I suppose it is theoretically possible the vaccine causes myocarditis that contributed to this, there are instances when seemingly young health people drop dead of unknown heart conditions during sports. A kid running cross country practice at our high school died unexpectedly while running. My daughter knew him. This was before Covid and vaccines.

    Fauci is singing a different song on vaccine mandates (msn.com)

    While speaking to ABC’s Jonathan Karl on This Week earlier this fall, Fauci was asked who should be taking the new COVID booster.

    “I believe we should give the choice to people that are not in the high-risk groups, to have the vaccine available for them," Fauci replied.

    Choice is the key word here. It’s a stark contrast to Fauci’s previous support of the White House’s vaccine mandate that required private companies to demand vaccination as a condition of employment.

    Perhaps poster might consider the current state of Covid infections vs a novel pandemic virus and see quite a stark contrast.

    The only thing “novel” about 2020 is that there was a collective decision, made by way too many millions of Americans to lose their minds.

    Wow....do these people just assume that we are all THAT stupid and none of us can read?

    Plasmid DNA, left from the original antigen would likely do nothing but further provoke an immune response. So much so that there is a vaccine approved in low cost countries produced by Indian Drug manufacturer Zydia Cadila based on.....WAIT FOR IT.....PLASMID DNA from the original antigen.

    The fact is that the DNA fragments observed are real. However, the whole argument about them penetrating the cell and integrating into the host genome is theory (some say fiction) based solely on a discredited pre-print that was withdrawn over a year ago, yet the lies keep circulating on the internet.

    By the way, did people realize the Buckhaults has spent his entire life working on cancer treatments that are now threatened as people are learning to use mRNA and pDNA in conjunction with one another to destroy tumors? Unlike many others, I do not think he is not a blatant liar or intentionally evil like Lapado or Markary, but his entire life's work is now being threatened.

    Most of the problems that I have read about the vaccines is that they are too often contaminated with something other than just the vaccine. I have seen people, mostly in Europe take the vaccine and then stand at a podium only to drop dead on stage. Not sure if anyone here has seen those videos, but they are very disturbing to see..

    I think I've seen about 7 or 8 of these videos... even one is too many.

    Most of the videos you watched predate COVID by several years. They have nothing to do with any vaccine.

    If that is true, and I highly doubt it, I agree, that is too many. That is all the more reason to continue funding research from credible sources who are not connected to the pharmaceutical industry or political agendas. However, those unicorns are in very short supply. That does not take away from your point that we should absolutely be continuing all research into these vaccines with as much of an open mind as possible.

    On the tragic flip side of that coin, this summer I attended a funeral of a 19 college student who was a hiking guide at Yellow Stone and high school cross country runner. She contracted COVID while travelling and the idiot doctor gave her a z-pack and sent her back to her apartment. Five days later she was found dead in her bed as the virus carved a path of destruction through her lungs that was staggering to the ME. Her father, my tennis teammate, was an avid anti-vaxxer from day 1. A primary care physician I might add who political leanings blurred his own scientific training.

    Yet another in a very, very long line of deaths that almost certainly would have been prevented by a vaccine. Standing at even one of those funerals, is far, far too many.
