Astrazeneca = Catanzarese (worrying questions!!!)

Look - normally I'm very keen on vaccines - I often have 2-3 before breakfast on a normal day - before I start my shift has a holistic alternative vaccination doula.

However, I'm very anxious about having my Astrazeneca vaccine tomorrow - not sure whether I should cancel my appointment. I have a few reasons to be concerned…

  1. First of all, I complete my degree in Anglo-Saxon, Norse, and Celtic at University of Cambridge – so I’ve always had a distrust of anything emanating from Oxford.

  2. Second, the speed with which the vaccine was developed worries me. Starting in the 19th century it took many decades to develop an effective smallpox vaccine – and hundreds of millions of people across the world died before it was rolled out. How was it possible to develop one so quickly in the 21st century and why is it being introduced when only a few million people have died from COVID-19? It’s very suspicious. It’s not like other things have got faster is it? Like the time it takes me to get a message to you?

  3. Finally, and most worrying of all "Astrazeneca" is an anagram of "Catanzarese" which is an extinct breed of big from the Calabria region in Southern Italy. This fits with the suggestion that the vaccine might be designed to insert pig DNA into our chromosomes – perhaps to help create a breed of human-pig chimeras to replace the now extinct Catanzarese breed? I don’t want to become a sausage.

Wake up sheeple! Don’t become a sausage like the aunt, of the driving instructor, of the girlfriend of some bloke ranting in his car on Youtube.

Aaaaargh!!!!

I have no strong feelings one way or the other to vaccines but my question is why should anyone list to one random person on the internet over another?

One random person on a forum over a random person in their car on YouTube.

I too am deeply suspicious of anything developed in Oxford

If the vaccine had been developed in Durham I would be first in the queue with my sleeve pre-rolled.

Totally agree, the pig concern has been ignored for too long. And having studied at Oxford, I can tell you that one of my housemates couldn’t even cook an onion correctly so I am deeply concerned that these are the sort of people we are allowing to develop vaccines, we should definitely leave it to the more distinguished scholars of Cambridge.

Bring back smallpox!

Oxford Astrazeneca = zen food car axe star
It's clearly fine because it's zen.

Jeez, don't encourage them! The pig anagram thing will be all over Facebook groups before you know it as FACT.

See, it's zen! Take the vaccine, just stop eating piggies Smile

Reverse psychology, make anyone asking questions look like a lunatic.

Astrazeneca is Ace Zen A Arc.
It's Ace, it's Zen, it's the Arc out of this pandemic...

I like little piggies 🐖

Racoonworld · 26/03/2021 09:12

I quite like the idea of turning into a pig-human breed, almost like a pig superhero. Unfortunately I had the AZ a couple of weeks ago and no pig signs yet Sad

I think you have something there. I had the AZ last week and I am overweight. Clearly the pig gene and not years of overeating and underexercising.

DropDTuning · 26/03/2021 09:18

Omg your so right this why I do my own research every day. The MSM would never report this

My friend whose a nurse said she would never have it cuz of the 'oxford comma ' in case u dont know this is like a thing where they use a comma before an and. It makes me sick so scary

Just drink your own piss, saves the earth and protects you from 5G.

Overcastcloudy · 26/03/2021 09:23

I just feel like this is going to turn into some nasty anti-pig thing. And I can't get behind that.

I do worry about the Oxford connection, though, you're right there.

Yep - your post covers most of the bases OP.

You should also take the above advice - very solid and backed by Cambridge University. You can't trust those bastards from Oxford. Too far west, by half.

This has to be a joke thread right.

You do realise that AZ's Headquarters are in Cambridge (I remember when lots of families left Macclesfield due to relocation) and they've been going since 1999 before covid was, well, even a thing.The comapny name is an amalgamation of the Astra AB company and the Zeneca Group.

FlibbertyGiblets · 26/03/2021 09:26

Proper lolz at this thread.
Special shout out to Oxford comma lady, v good, DropDTuning and to MRex and the Arc. Excellent work.

OK, you got me, well done.

Or is that what the MSM want you to think? Wink

I don't know who the MSM are. I di know that I used to teach lots of children whose parents worked for Astra Zeneca and knew their parents. This was back in 2003-2014 .
