How Phizer and Moderna Vaccine works

Pfizer-BioNTech and Moderna vaccines are mRNA vaccines.

They have been working on an mRNA vaccine for almost 20 years.

The clever scientists finally got it all working properly and approved little while back.

A mRNA vaccine is like a message in a bottle. The whole bottle thing is the difficult part of the vaccine. How do you get the message past all the human defenses?

Well, they have figured it out and approved a few of these vaccines and they were in use when Cov-19 hit. So since everything was approved they could just start producing. Since they only had to change the message, very few approval steps were needed.

This is how your immune system is taught a new lesson;

The message bottles get injected.

The bottles go past the defenses of your immune system.

It attaches to one of your cells, and goes in, delivering the mRNA message.

The message floats through your cell until it meets a compatible ribosome

The ribosome processes the message and makes a protein.

When the ribosome processes the message, the message is destroyed.

This protein is the same as the virus has and it goes to the outside of the cell wall where it sticks out.

The message also switches on the cells alarm system which causes the immune system to attack this cell and learn the very important lesson "This protein: bad!"

Now when your immune system sees this protein, it will attack it with furious anger.

So although the mRNA message looks like DNA and is processed in the same way that DNA is processed, none of your own DNA is changed and the message is destroyed when reading it.

The advantages of extremism

Allrighty then. Henry tries to fix the internet again. Let's see what happens now.

I found this really great old advert where John Cleese talks about extremism and the content unfortunately never seems to get outdated.
So I wanted to quote the entire thing and searched the internet for the exact text. 

Unfortunately that was nowhere to be found and I took it upon myself to write it all down from what I assume is an uncut original copy on YouTube.

__

Seriously though, we've heard a lot about extremism recently a nastier, harsher atmosphere everywhere, more abuse botherboy behavior, less friendliness and tolerance and respect for opponents. All that, but what we never hear about extremism and its advantages.

Well, the biggest advantage of extremism is that it makes you feel good. Because it provides you with enemies. Let me explain. the great thing about having enemies, is that you can pretend that all the badness in the whole world is in your enemies and all the goodness in the whole world is in you.

attractive isn't it?

So If you have a lot of anger and resentment in you anyway, and you therefore enjoy abusing people

Then you can pretend that you are only doing it because these enemies of yours are such very bad persons.

And if it wasn't for them you'd actually be good-natured and courteous and rational all the time. 

So if you want to feel good, become an extremist.

Okay, now you have a choice.

If you join the "hard left", they'll give you their list of authorized enemies: almost all kinds of authority, especially the police, the City, Americans, judges, multinational corporations, public schools, furriers, newspaper owners, fox hunters, generals, class traitors — and of course, moderates.

Or if you'd rather be an extremist on the hard right, no problem, fine, you still get a lovely list of enemies, only they are different ones; noisy minority groups, unions, Russia, weirdos, demonstrators, welfare sponges, meddlesome clergy, peaceniks, the BBC, strikers, social workers, communists — and of course, moderates.

And upstart actors.


Now once you are armed with one of these super list of enemies, you can be as nasty as you like and yet feel your behavior is morally justified. So you can strut around abusing people and telling them you could eat them for breakfast and still think of yourself as a champion of the truth, a fighter for the greater good and not the rather sad paranoid schizoid that you really are.

Pro-Truth pledge

 

I signed the Pro-Truth Pledge:

please hold me accountable.


This is a real good start. More people should do this.
