Just had second dose of AZ and got a shock to read

[Flissitytricity]

Have had both doses with no side effects so that is good but with my 2nd dose I was given some information sheets and this was included in the section "Contents of the pack and other information"

Recombinant, replication-deficient chimpanzee adenovirus vector encoding the SARS CoV 2 Spike (S) glycoprotein. Produced in genetically modified human embryonic kidney (HEK) 293 cells. This product contains genetically modified organisms (GMOs).

I saw the word "chimpanzee" and would like anyone who can possibly explain to me, is this simply research experiments on chimpanzees or something entirely different?

@Tambora

Er... do people still not know where the word 'vaccine' comes from?

Until your post, I had never made the connection between "vaccine" and "la vaca."

Interesting. And that's all I see it as. I don't like testing makeup on animals, but if vaccines need to involve animal testing, the benefits outweigh the damage. We do worse things to animals on a daily basis.

They explained this last spring! Ok we got the lancet at my old house (exh's job) but it's no secret

Why would anyone take an experimental mrna therapy. I understand the A-Level version of the mechincs of a cell, obviously it's so much more complicated. No way though, something that codes a certain spike protein in every cell of my body, which authorities are not liable for any kind of unintended consequences. Yeah sounds really sensible for a disease with a smal fatality rate.

1) what's this got to do with the AZ vaccine? 2) none of the vaccines make you produce the spike protein in all of the cells in your body, just some near the vaccination site and even then only briefly as mRNA has a short half life. 3) the government is liable for vaccine damage. 4) the fatality rate only remains low while the healthcare system remains functional.

Whoever said that a little knowledge is a dangerous thing?

Because having Covid/Cystic Fibrosis/Melanoma/Myeloma/Ovarian Cancer/Pancreatic Cancer/Ewings Sarcoma/HIV/Hepatitis B/Spinal Muscular Atrophy/Muscular Dystrophy/Age related macular degeneration/Non arteritic ischemic optic neuropathy/really isn't very nice?
