Growth of COVID-19

I used to follow the COVID numbers almost daily, but this got tiresome especially since the numbers kept going up. I was shocked yesterday to see that Indiana was up to 626,682 cases. This is double the number of cases in November, which is almost 1 out of ten people. Presumably, there are many more mild cases that we don't know about, which could mean that up to half the state has been infected.

In January of last year, I was already sounding the alarm when it was just a few thousand cases in China. I noticed that the trend was rapidly exponential, although some of my friends on Facebook were saying it wasn't really exponential growth because China was just doing a better job of detecting the disease. In February, public officials were saying that this isn't a big threat with many people saying that the flu was going to kill a great many more people.

In early March there weren't that many cases in the U.S., and it looked like the disease was contained, but by March 21 the disease had exploded and was everywhere in the country.

How The COVID-19 Vaccine Could Lead To A Cure For Cancer | Answers With Joe

The mRNA vaccine is not gene-altering. It provides instructions to cells on how to make the spike protein without altering the DNA of the cells, which is part of the point.  Our cells make messenger RNA continuously, and it gets used up quickly.

Danger from COVID-19 Vaccine?

David,

I am probably just on your mailing list.

Newswars is an Alex Jones site.   I would in no way consider this site to be a reliable source.

As for the merits of the article:

We all have viruses in us, probably all the time as some of these are continuously kept in check by our immune system, and they inject into our cells either DNA or RNA.  The DNA version alters the genetic material of the cell or at least replaces part of it.  The RNA version works by the same mechanism that the vaccine does.  

The RNA vaccine "gives our cells instructions for how to make a harmless protein that is unique to the virus."  (https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/different-vaccines/how-they-work.html)   From what I heard, this material dissipates within about 3 days and this is superior to a weakened virus that could potentially alter the DNA of the cells.

The writer makes a number of speculative statements that are not supported and are very questionable.  Compared to having a full-blown case of COVID-19, which can do enormous damage to your body, the mechanism of the vaccine is going to be far milder.  People who have gotten COVID-19 and recovered often had serious medical problems lasting months.   Although we may not know the long term effects of the vaccine, we also don't know the long term effects of COVID-19.

Given the rate at which COVID spreads, we are all going to get the disease eventually, possibly in the very near future, unless we get vaccinated first.  It is a choice of the vaccine or COVID.

The FDA says Pfizer’s Covid vaccine is safe and effective. But trial participants warn of intense symptoms after second shot

One Pfizer trial participant told CNBC that after the second shot, he woke up with chills, shaking so hard he cracked a tooth. "It hurt to even just lay in my bed sheet," he said. 

Others experienced headaches and fatigue.

The FDA said that while side effects of the Pfizer vaccine are common, there are "no specific safety concerns identified that would preclude issuance of an EUA."

FDA panel endorses Pfizer coronavirus vaccine for emergency use | Fox Business

I thought that FDA approval would come today, but they are saying later this week, although there is not much week left. There seems to be some concern about people with allergic reactions. There is also some talk about people being hesitant to take the vaccine. Some of my friends are saying, "You go first", which would be okay by me. We can't make progress without a vaccine.

From what I can tell by casual observation, maybe 10 to 20% of the population doesn't want to take the vaccine.
