It's almost like Biden is infecting the US on purpose
Same. I just don't understand it right now. There's a pandemic going on. People are dying, people are refusing to get vaccinated, there's hate coming from both parties and we're just flooding the border? I just don't get it.I'm all for reasonably open borders, but during a pandemic it is insane we haven't temporarily closed the borders or require testing.
Probably because there's a lot a backlog of people pleading for asylum (The Trump admin purposely slowed this to a crawl) and there aren't enough judges to run the hearings. Rather than holding those people up so they can be abused in Mexico or sneak in illegally, we're letting them enter with hearings scheduled for in the future. We have two problems that are combining here:I'm all for reasonably open borders, but during a pandemic it is insane we haven't temporarily closed the borders or require testing.
I can explain the science behind the vaccine. Your own immune system isn't worthless. It isn't the vaccine that fights off COVID. It is your immune system.I'm sick of people telling me that my astronomically complex body and immune system is worse off than getting an experimental drug. That my own immune system is worthless. I'm sick of being told the only way for this virus to go away is to get vaccine yet being told "vaccinated can get COVID".
I don't like double-posting one right after the other, but this is a great post and I love the wanted poster analogy - nice work.I can explain the science behind the vaccine. Your own immune system isn't worthless. It isn't the vaccine that fights off COVID. It is your immune system.
I'm sure you've seen this a million times by now. It is a depiction of a SARS-CoV-2 virus.

The red triangular growths all over the outside of the ball are called "S-Spike" proteins. The mRNA vaccines (Moderna and Pfizer) are just those S-Spike proteins without any other part of the virus.

That is all the vaccine is. It is just this one piece of the virus. Because these are all over the outside of the real virus, if your immune system learns to recognize these then it can recognize the real virus. The idea of the vaccine is to inject these pieces that can't do anything by themselves and give your immune system time to learn what these look like without any risk of these infecting you. From there it is all the job of your immune system.
The vaccine doesn't fight the infection at all. The vaccine is like flooding your body with wanted posters so that your immune system is faster to recognize the invader. It is not a guarantee that SARS-CoV-2 can't possibly replicate in your body but it will absolutely 100% make your body's immune system mount a faster and stronger defense than if your immune system were going in to the fight completely blind.

Thanks for this post. Very informative and dumbed down enough for the normal person (like myself) to understand.I can explain the science behind the vaccine. Your own immune system isn't worthless. It isn't the vaccine that fights off COVID. It is your immune system.

Ok..I can explain the science behind the vaccine. Your own immune system isn't worthless. It isn't the vaccine that fights off COVID. It is your immune system.

If the vaccine is what's causing more people to get sick, does that mean that this is Trump's fault as he and his administration were the ones responsible for the vaccine as I've been led to believe?Ok..
a) explain why the more people are getting vaccinated the more people are getting sick. Does the vaccine not help the spread at all? Fauci is now saying we will have 200,000 cases a day soon.
B) if the vaccine doesn't help the spread, when will this ever end?
C) cases declined rapidly until people started getting vaccinated. The more people that get vaccinated, the more cases. What are the chances that the vaccine IS the mutation?
