^^^ Well, you have to look at both the virus and the vaccine. The main aim of a virus is to reproduce successfully, and to do this, its genetic material has to download the information it carries. Mostly, this will take place in the cell’s nucleus where the virus can access the molecules it requires to begin manufacturing its own proteins. And then, the job of the vaccine is to weaken the virus in a way to where it has a hard time reproducing itself inside the body. How would you know what your vaccine is capable of without the actual virus you created it for? lol

That’s all Dee was saying. Her post was hilarious! lol

Lol I should have rephrased it. I meant having both before releasing the virus itself. That’s what I meant. I think that’s what they did.

He’s partially correct. I think the MRNA technology that was used in the vaccine was developed around 10 years ago.

I heard it was modified. The reason for the M in RNA.

According to google, M stands for messenger.

Yes, they had been working on the MRNA technology for some time, but they still have to have the virus to enable that technology to work for that particular virus. Now that they have used MRNA technology for vaccines, they will be create future vaccines quicker and quicker. But if conspiracy theories prevent people from trusting the vaccines, then we(humanity) will go through this over and over.

We get new viruses constantly. There's no evidence that COVID-19 was created on purpose to harm humanity. It hurt China's economy more than it did ours because they were shut down much much longer.

Yes, but with mRNA technology, we don’t act blindly anymore. The vaccine is carefully designed for its particular use, which is why you need a virus first. So, with new vaccines, scientists don’t really use chemicals. They use the genetic code as a message to send our cells, to warn them about the risk of the new particular virus. An mRNA vaccine is a message with a genetic code in a form of RNA.

And then, most viruses spill over from animals to humans. So, their first excuse is always going to be it came from some kind of animal. That’s a given. Outside of my family and close friends, I don’t put anything past humans, especially if they’re people being controlled by a dictatorship. Dictators don’t care about murdering millions of people, as long as the dictator benefits from it. You’d think humanity would get wiser based on the past, but instead we seem to get more unwise, knowing what has happened in the past. It’s 2023 and the morals are the worst. And instead of getting better, they will not. It’ll get worse as time goes on. That’s a fact. So if China created Covid and lied about its origin, I swear I wouldn’t be at all surprised.

Things have gotten a lot better in some respects when you compare it to past events.

They have, but in other respects they’ve gotten much, much worse.
