Is Covid19 mass vaccination an orchestrated effort?


What baffles me is how much both media and governments are pushing Covid19 vaccination effort. And how most people are taking all that information without questioning and letting "unknown" formula, that was orchestrated by pharmaceuticals, be injected into their bodies.

Given that both my parents were medics (dad was a surgeon), I just don't buy it.

There are some conspiracy theories floating around online, but even if we disregard a theory that the entire thing may orchestrated, it is common sense to be cautious, given the vaccine is very new and using unconventional mRNA sequencing as opposed to traditional, long-tested vaccines.

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only one (among my colleagues, friends, and even family members) that is questioning this.

The formula is not unknown. Each vaccine must write what it has in the paperwork they have to present in the FDA and similar agencies in other countries. Also, anyone with a chromatographer can verify it. A chromatographer is too expensive for a single person, but it's cheap for any lab in a university or chemical factory, so a lot of people can get a sample and verify it. Looking at the info in the mRNA is more difficult, but it has been done, for example https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26628233 I'm not sure if someone has sequence any of the vaccines with vector virus, but I think it has a similar difficulty.

There are three families of vaccines:

* mRNA (Moderna, Pfiser, ...)

* vector virus (AstraZeneca, Janssen, Sputnik, ...)

* inactivated virus (Sinopharm, Sinovac)

Complete list: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vacuna_contra_la_COVID-19#Esta...

Some explanation: https://www.who.int/news-room/feature-stories/detail/the-rac...

Not all are available and recognized in all countries, but if you prefer old proven technology, you can probably an inactivated virus one. (It may be less effective. Ask your medical doctor.) I think mRNA is very promising to make vaccines for rare or local illness in the future, but perhaps I'm too optimistic.

Anyway, I recommend to read the articles about vaccines in https://www.science.org/blogs/pipeline He is not working in vaccines, but he worked in the pharmacological industry.

You created your account today, wrote a very half-baked inflammatory post about a controversial issue, and then launched another thread complaining that your first thread had been flagged. At the very least you could do some background reading on MRNA vaccines or the history of public health campaigns. As it is, your post just reads like FUD.

I suggest you start over by making some substantive contributions to existing threads.

Pray tell, what advantages would the powers that be gain by killing off/injuring the vast majority of the productive class of mainstream citizens?

Doing so would devastate the economy, bring technological progress to a quick halt, and result in enormous and unpredictable public response.

I see no gain in it for them. Do you?

If it makes you feel better, the US government designed Spikevax.

And there is a lot of coordination, because the vaccines are quite safe and reduce the impact of both individual infections and the pandemic. People look at the options and urge others to get vaccinated!
