Are you allowed to make that joke anymore in 2022?

  Injecting mRNA into human cells is exactly the kind of brilliant hack you’d expect software engineers to come up with (and those same engineers would of course brush aside any concerns about unintended consequences in complex systems.)

    exactly and those are the same software engineers naysaying the voting system.

    I was hoping in a couple years there would be proper studies about those potential consequences but honestly I can't make myself trust they won't be suppressed at this point. So I can only hope there won't be any severe ones.

  You do realize every single virus, many bacteria, and some other germs, are literally injecting molecular/genetic payloads into your body to hijack your body's protein machinery, and your immune system updates itself in response? mRNA vaccines just cut out the middle man^w bug.
  - uwagar 4y ago
    when the mrna platform is established, people that control the platform may inject payloads that provide them their desired consequences. this is not the same as 'blind' nature injecting things into you.

      Oh yeah, I'd totally rather have blind, chaotic, messy nature inject me, vs a scientifically engineered and highly tested product with a scope even smaller than conventional vaccines. Blind Mother Nature would never hurt me! (hides list of the most potently toxic compounds on the planet under a carpet... tetrodotoxin, botulinum, ricin...)

        i was not advocating that nature is good, im just warning u about the for profit, just-in-time, hand-in-glove regulatory, first to market, fix bugs in future updates (aka boosters) software like cures for your biological problems.
