- m0llusk 3y agoCV: Corona Virus
- croisillon 3y agothat might explain why i never receive an answer to all the CV i sent

- mewpmewp2 3y agoFor coronavirus maybe, because it's not much of danger for you in the first place, but those risks would be thousands of times more acceptable for cancer. There are no side effects observed from mRNA CV vaccines that could be worse when compared to cancers with 1%+ mortality rate. As a reminder you won't be taking it before the cancer, you would be taking it after the fact.
- neverrroot 3y agoThere are maybe no effects that we know about right now. Different people have different opinions on what their risk tolerance is, so there could be people that may outright disagree with your statement. And there were even fewer such effects when the vaccines have rolled out back in 2020 with emergency approval, but without being used “in production” beforehand. Now we know much more about the mRNA platform, but I still can’t exclude the possibility entirely for me. So I will take my chances and focus much more on quality of food, on staying fit, reducing stress etc. etc.
- mewpmewp2 3y agoYou should do the healthy things to avoid cancer in the first place, but once you are diagnosed with a cancer with high mortality rate, it's a whole different calculation in terms of risks vs benefits compared to Covid-19.
- neverrroot 3y agoIndeed. My view on vaccines is that they are not a cure but act as prevention agents.
- mewpmewp2 3y agoThere's multiple vaccines that can also work after you've been exposed to a pathogen. In many such cases risks vs benefits will change by the event. For example rabies vaccines is not given to everyone, however after you get rabies you will be given that vaccine. Vaccine in this case is a less harmful training tool to prepare you for the more harmful pathogen that may still be reaching its peak strength. You can think of vaccines as a training tool. In some cases it might provide you with a response that can completely throw the pathogen out, in other cases it will just be able to fight it better.
- lawlessone 3y ago>For example rabies vaccines is not given to everyone If you could spread something as bad as rabies by sneezing. You would see actual mandatory vaccinations, not the mild nudge people have been complaining about the last three years.
- azan_ 3y agomRNA will eventually save the day for everyone, including for perfectly healthy individuals, but to me as a healthy 40yo person, with no known immunity issues, not overweight etc. etc. it is in my opinion still too risky to take just like that. It's an interesting take. From what we know so far, the risk from taking vaccine is much smaller than from covid infection. You might counter this with highlighting the "so far" part, but keep in mind that many studies keep coming out with surprises not only regarding vaccine side effects, but also negative long term effects of covid.
- mewpmewp2 3y agoThere's a key difference here that cancer mRNA vaccine you are taking after you've been diagnosed with cancer. Otherwise for Coronavirus vaccines you couldn't argue that risks are much smaller for any given person under any given conditions. E.g. a person could be completely isolated for the next 10 years and have virtually 0% chance of getting Covid-19, so in this case there's no calculation that could show a vaccine being with more favourable benefits/risks. If there's a 1/10,000 chance of giving you a sore shoulder that would be worse in the calculations if you are for sure to be isolated from being anywhere near the virus.
- azan_ 3y agoOtherwise for Coronavirus vaccines you couldn't argue that risks are much smaller for any given person under any given conditions. E.g. a person could be completely isolated for the next 10 years and have virtually 0% chance of getting Covid-19, so in this case there's no calculation that could show a vaccine being with more favourable benefits/risks. Well yes, in completely absurd and unrealistic situation the risk of taking vaccine might be larger than that of Covid-19.
- mewpmewp2 3y ago> Well yes, in completely absurd and unrealistic situation the risk of taking vaccine might be larger than that of Covid-19. What about a person living in simple solitude who works remotely and orders everything in? This is a realistic, non-absurd scenario and they would possibly risk getting Covid-19 on their way to the appointment of getting the vaccine.
- joneholland 3y agoYou haven’t written anything of substance but antivax fearmongering.
- neverrroot 3y agoI have to disagree with this, clearly visible under my profile. In general I try to stay clear of any vaccine debates, in general because of being labeled in certain ways I don’t identify myself with at all.
- lukeck 3y ago> the ones for the CV vaccine were listed on many pages of tiny text (both from Pfizer and from Moderna) The size of the pages side effects were written on says absolutely nothing about what the side effects are or their severity. > Then there are the long term consequences, many studies keep coming out with surprises (recent buzzword “Ribosomal frameshift” Ribosomal frameshift is in itself not a “long term consequence.” It is simply that depending on where translational of a piece of mRNA starts, different proteins can be produced. This is an essential part of how our own (or any other organism’s mRNA) is translated into proteins. other proteins present in a cell can regulate which proteins can be produced - again an essential part of how our cells function. This has been known about for decades. It is one of the main potential areas that could lead to side effects of an mRNA vaccine so understanding what other proteins might be translated and under what circumstances is important. Please don’t fear monger without any actual evidence to back it.
- cscurmudgeon 3y ago> The size of the pages side effects were written on says absolutely nothing about what the side effects are or their severity. Naive question: Do they say what the side effects are and their severity in an easily accessible manner somewhere?

- oezi 3y agoFrom the sibling comment link I would say, yes: 5 WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS 5.1 Management of Acute Allergic Reactions Appropriate medical treatment to manage immediate allergic reactions must be immediately available in the event an acute anaphylactic reaction occurs following administration of Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. Monitor Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine recipients for the occurrence of immediate adverse reactions according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/managing-anaphylaxis.html https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-consideration...). 5.2 Myocarditis and Pericarditis Postmarketing data with authorized or approved mRNA COVID-19 vaccines demonstrate increased risks of myocarditis and pericarditis, particularly within the first week following vaccination. For Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine, the observed risk is highest in males 18 years through 24 years of age. Although some cases required intensive care support, available data from short-term follow-up suggest that most individuals have had resolution of symptoms with conservative management. Information is not yet available about potential long-term sequelae. The CDC has published considerations related to myocarditis and pericarditis after vaccination, including for vaccination of individuals with a history of myocarditis or pericarditis (https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-considerations/myocarditis.html https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/clinical-consideration...). 5.3 Syncope Syncope (fainting) may occur in association with administration of injectable vaccines. Procedures should be in place to avoid injury from fainting. 5.4 Altered Immunocompetence Immunocompromised persons, including individuals receiving immunosuppressive therapy, may have a diminished response to Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine. 5.5 Limitations of Vaccine Effectiveness Moderna COVID-19 Vaccine may not protect all vaccine recipients.
- robbiep 3y agoWhere, exactly, are the long term consequences of mRNA vaccination for SARS-CoV-2? Compared with, say, actually developing COVID? (Please note I’m not arguing that receiving a COVID mRNA vaccine is entirely risk free, however on a risk weighted basis receiving a COVID vaccine is much safer than having COVID)
- neverrroot 3y agoTo me the biggest risk is still the unknown, as in not enough experience. They have never been used “in production” until 2020. I saved this post as a favorite and set up a reminder in 2 years and in 5 years about it. Hope there will be nothing to add, and we just got ourselves a mighty vaccines platform at zero long term consequences.

- pfisherman 3y agoGet ready to see vaccines be used to prevent and cure conditions you that you probably think are outside the scope of what vaccines can address. Projecting further into the future, the world is going to be divided into those with access to and willingness to use biotechnology and those who don’t. Note that I am including things like fitness and health tracking apps under the umbrella of biotech.
- lawlessone 3y ago> but the ones for the CV vaccine were listed on many pages of tiny text (both from Pfizer and from Moderna). A whole bunch of OTC drugs carry CYA lists like this, it's not the gotcha you think it is. > but to me as a healthy 40yo person, with no known immunity issues, not overweight etc. My father is getting a stent put in for a 70% artery blockage. Older of course but skinny, looks after his health, exercises. He had no symptoms like pain or being out of breath. Just high cholesterol. A friend of mine in his early 30's healthy nearly got taken out by RSV last year because it aggravated a heart condition he was unaware of. People aren't as healthy as they like to convince themselves they are.
- ethanbond 3y agoYeah you gotta love the people like “COVID is only super dangerous if you have comorbidities!” Yeah dude have you ever walked around and looked at people? Then have you ever talked even to people who outwardly appear healthy? Comorbidities run amok, known and unknown.
