COVID-19 mRNA vaccines Are they intended to save people or kill them?

The COVID-19 vaccine is a biological preparation designed to help people acquire immunity to the SARS-CoV-2 virus (also called COVID-19) that causes respiratory illnesses. 

There are four types of COVID-19 vaccines:

1. Whole virus vaccine: uses a weakened version of the whole COVID-19 virus to trigger an immune response.

2. Protein subunit vaccine: uses a part of the COVID virus protein spike to initiate an immune response.

3. Viral vector vaccine: uses a viral vector, or a harmless inactivated virus to deliver genetic instructions to produce antigens against COVID-19.

4. Nucleic acid (DNA and RNA) vaccine: uses nucleic acids such as DNA or RNA to deliver instructions to make COVID-19 antigens.

The mRNA vaccine is one type of nucleic acid vaccine. It consists of synthetic messenger RNA, a single-stranded molecule that makes up the genetic code of most viruses.

Once it is inside a cell, the mRNA instructs it to manufacture the COVID-19 spike proteins.

After the viral spikes appear on the cell’s surface, the body mounts an immune response against them, granting the body immunity against the virus.

Ever since COVID-19 vaccine development was announced, this has become the subject of a heated debate.

On December 18, 2020, the FDA approved the Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna mRNA vaccines for emergency use in the United States.

People desperately want their lives to go back to normal, and they need a solution to put an end to this pandemic. However, many remain skeptical of the vaccine and are hesitant to take it.

They fear that the mRNA vaccine’s effectiveness and safety are compromised because its development has been accelerated to combat the virus’ spread across the globe.

Some also worry that the vaccine is harmful, and there is a hidden agenda behind it.

 

What Do Different Experts Think of COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines? 

 

Opinion 1: COVID-19 mRNA Vaccines are dangerous and People Shouldn't Take them

Several medical experts and activists think that the mRNA vaccine causes death and that there’s an hidden agenda behind it. They are calling to immediately stop using it on people.

Accordingly, some believe that the mRNA vaccine is supposed to kill people to reduce population, other believe it will track people and monitor them to control humanity. Others worry it could lower fertility rates to control birth.

Meanwhile, some other experts believe that mRNA vaccines might alter the human genome and lead to humanity’s extinction. Others think it is not safe because its development has been fast-tracked, and its side effects are still unknown.

 

Vaccine Development is Accelerated at the Expense of Safety:

Some experts are reluctant to recommend the vaccine because they think vaccine development has been rushed.

A vaccine traditionally undergoes five stages of development. Phases 4 and 5 of vaccine development usually require several years of testing and review.

Currently, many of the COVID-19 vaccines that have been approved for emergency use have just completed stage 3 of development.

As a result, some experts warn that there isn’t enough data to establish the effectiveness and safety of the vaccines.

They point out that the vaccines could have unknown side effects that can cause serious health issues in the future and even lead to death.

 

The Vaccine Will Monitor People:

Many experts are worried that the vaccine will track people who take it because it contains microchips.

This theory went viral after Bill Gates replied to a question to the coronavirus thread on Reddit, a discussion-based social media platform, saying, “Eventually we will have some digital certificates to show who has recovered or been tested recently or when we have a vaccine, who has received it.”

Dr. Christiane Northrup, a well-known board-certified obstetrician and gynecologist, claims that the COVID-19 vaccine is dangerous because it contains microchips that collect people’s personal information.

Northrup also says that the vaccine contains heavy metals like aluminum, which will help track people’s movements because the metals will turn people’s bodies into antennas that continuously send signals to 5G towers, alerting others to their location.

Some anti-vaccination activists think that the vaccine is part of the agenda to establish a New World Order where a totalitarian global government will rise to control the world.

They suspect that a group of financially influential people, highly connected to government organizations, are inflating the number of deaths from COVID-19 to spread fear of the virus.

They would then capitalize on people’s fear to impose the vaccine on everyone, which would enable them to control the entire world.

 

The Vaccine Might Kill People and Lower Fertility Rates to Depopulate the Earth:

Some anti-vaccination activists argue that the vaccine is intended to kill people and lower fertility rates as part of a hidden agenda to reduce the number of people living on Earth. According to them, our planet cannot sustain further population growth and thus the number of people needs to be brought down.

Several people also do not trust the COVID-19 vaccine because of Bill Gates’ involvement in vaccine production. They argue that the vaccine is part of a birth control program to depopulate the Earth.

Some anti-vaccination activists believe that Gates is one of the key figures behind this program because of his parents’ involvement with organizations like Planned Parenthood and other organizations that provide reproductive healthcare services in the U.S.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., a prominent anti-vaccination activist, discredits Bill Gates’ vaccination work in African countries.

He asserts that girls in Gates’ vaccination program who were “vaccinated with the DTP [Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis] vaccine died at 10 times the rate of unvaccinated kids.”

 

The Vaccine Will Alter Our DNA:

Some experts argue the nucleic acid vaccines might alter our DNA.

They fear that the genetic material in some DNA or mRNA vaccines contains instructions that may change our genetic makeup.

They claim that DNA vaccines may modify the human genome, leading to disastrous and unforeseen consequences on our health, and eventually lead to the destruction of humanity.

At the same time, others are concerned that the viral vector vaccines, which use an inactivated virus to carry parts of the COVID-19 virus, could change human DNA because the vector could carry traces of animal DNA along with the COVID-19 protein spikes.

For example, some people are now afraid of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine because it uses a harmless common cold virus found in chimpanzees.

The virus is genetically modified to carry the instructions that the body needs to manufacture the COVID-19 spikes.

As a result, some experts worry that the vaccine could contain traces of chimpanzee DNA that could interact and combine with our genome, altering our DNA.

Dr. Carrie Madej, D.O., the director of two large medical clinics in Georgia, believes the COVID vaccines will cause the cell to produce a different genetic code that will combine with our genetic material and lead to the extermination of our species.

She says, “The COVID-19 vaccines are designed to make us into genetically modified organisms.”

 

Opinion 2: COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are reasonably safe and People Should Take them to save Lives

With the COVID-19 death toll rising exponentially, most experts point out that the COVID-19 vaccine will be the best way to protect people against the virus and help end this pandemic.

Scientists argue that the vaccine is safe and effective against COVID-19. They confirm it has undergone adequate testing for safety and efficacy.

Researchers also maintain that the vaccine will not alter human DNA and will not contain microchips that track people’s movements.

 

The Vaccine has been Tested for Safety and Efficiency:

Medical experts agree that, compared to other vaccines, the COVID-19 vaccine was developed rather quickly. Normal vaccine development takes at least ten years because it is expensive.

However, scientists maintain they are not rushing the vaccine development at the expense of safety. They explain that the rapid development of different COVID-19 vaccines was only possible because of global cooperation for vaccine funding and research.

Promising test results released in December 2020 show the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are 95% and 94.5% effective against the COVID-19 virus.

Scientists also confirm that they are committed to the highest safety protocols and will stop development if safety issues arise.

In fact, the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine was halted in September 2020 because one participant had spinal cord inflammation after receiving it.

AstraZeneca trials resumed October 2020 only after researchers resolved potential safety concerns.

On December 30, 2020, the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) in the U.K. approved the AstraZeneca vaccine’s distribution for emergency use.

Researchers also argue that they didn’t develop the vaccine from scratch as mRNA vaccines have been in development for 30 years.

Coronaviruses are not new either. They have been around since the 1960s, and the first SARS-CoV virus was discovered in 2003.

Scientists have already developed coronavirus vaccines that target specific strains of older coronaviruses.

They used previous research along with more recent information about the SARS-CoV-2 virus to create new vaccines.

Furthermore, public health guidelines dictate that all vaccines must undergo five stages of testing to ensure their safety for public use.

Doctors affirm that all the COVID-19 vaccines approved for emergency use have gone through the same rigorous testing and approval process. However, COVID-19 vaccine development has been fast-tracked because of the pandemic.

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines have concluded phase 3 of clinical trials and are now at phases 4 and 5 of development.

Despite that, they have been approved for emergency use in December 2020. They will only be given to healthcare workers fighting COVID-19 at the frontline, elderly people, and high-risk individuals who have chronic illnesses.

In addition, different health organizations like the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would not approve a vaccine unless they have thoroughly reviewed it and found it to be safe and effective.

 

The Virus Will Not Alter Our DNA:

Experts maintain that the mRNA vaccines are safe and the mRNA in the vaccine will not interact with our DNA.

When it is injected into the body, the mRNA instructs the cell to create the COVID protein spikes. The cell then displays the spikes on its surface.

This allows the immune system to recognize and initiate an immune response against the viral antigens.

Scientists point out that the mRNA molecule does not enter the cell’s nucleus, so it cannot interact with the DNA.

Even if it did, it cannot alter our genome because mRNA and DNA are two different molecules. They cannot combine to form a new genetic code.

In addition, the mRNA molecule is highly unstable. After the cell finishes manufacturing the COVID-19 spike proteins, the cell degrades the mRNA molecule.

If the cell doesn’t break it down immediately, mRNA only remains in the cell for 72 hours, so it will not have time to alter our DNA or interact with anything else inside the cell before it is destroyed.

Similar to mRNA vaccines, the viral vector vaccines do not interact with or change our DNA.

Research has shown that the AstraZeneca vaccine is safe. The inactivated chimpanzee cold virus has been genetically altered, so it cannot replicate inside the body.

It only gives the body instructions to produce COVID-19 spike proteins and helps it become immune to the virus.

 

The Vaccine Does Not Contain Microchips that will Track Us:

Technology companies argue that the United States has not used microchip technology yet. And if it does, the vaccine will not contain microchips that will be injected into the person.

The microchip, which is optional, will be on the outside of the syringe’s label. It will act like a barcode to validate the vaccine’s authenticity and won’t track people’s movements.

Plus, there are multiple COVID-19 vaccines in development that do not use microchip technology to track vaccination history.

If people are concerned that the mRNA vaccine contains microchips that may track them, they can opt to take other more traditional vaccines.

In addition, experts explain that governments and companies nowadays do not need a vaccine to monitor people’s activity.

Technology companies can already track and locate people easily using the data on their smartphones because they are usually connected to the Internet.

Companies can now use facial recognition technology to find and surveil people, no matter where they are.
