For 99.99 % of the World's Population Virus is something we cannot see but something when it infects us can even kill us if we do not have a strong immune system. Even to Virologists, molecular biologists, physiologists, pathologists, biochemists and all other experts who understand viruses creating a new vaccine for a new virus can take as long as three to five years.
I never liked Chemistry. I am a Physics man and understand and believe in Cause and effect theory, like everything that goes up has to obey gravity and come down. Last night we had a Zoom session when for a change we did not talk about Donald Trump but the topic for the night was Vaccines. I did not try to understand anything that was being said by people in the know, like BiiiiiiiG Molecules, Naked and Encapsulated Vaccines and whether they attach themselves to cells or pierce the body cells and settle in ad start to reproduce whatever. Way way beyond any comprehension. So I sat and listened like a dumb mullet and raised the odd question like, OK Should a Vaccine for Covid 19 be rushed through and made available by Pfizer say by Christmas, should we take the Vaccine ? It is not even 12 months and we claim to have created a vaccine and forced FDA to approve it. More than any thing we have Bill Gates promoting it. Bill Gates to me is a ruthless man who has destroyed many competitors for decades and is like a second hand car salesman. If he is pushing for the Pfizer Vaccine it makes me doubt the product. What is in it for Bill Gates ? He must be a major share holder in Pfizer and of course the Covid Vaccine is being pushed through without adequate testing which is more a marketing ploy than a cure and we can see Pfizer share price has rocketed.
You and I are the Guinea Pigs. Or perhaps Bill & Melinda Gates will test the vaccine out on the Poor People in India with the help of the Indian Capitalist Govt that is so Pro USA today.
I ask the question again, "Will you take this Vaccine as soon as it is released?". I do not trust Politicians who could even make it mandatory for the masses.
History of Vaccines is fascinating to say the least. Watch this History Video
History of Vaccines tells us that it takes as long as 3 to 4 years to come up with a vaccine for any new virus infecting human population. Covid 19 Vaccine has been created in less than 12 months and is a worry. Don't get me wrong I am not an anti Vaxxer. Just a Logical human being who believes in action reaction.
Now watch today's article in the News Daily in OZ

So who do you see ? Bill Gates ? What is his role Is he a Virologist ?
I am sorry I feel this way. I believe he is "THE VIRUS" himself. Don't TRUST the Man and won't touch him with a nine foot pole.
Meanwhile Russia has not only created a vaccine but has supplied it to India to Reddy Labs and Reddy's Own the Apollo Chain of Private hospitals (for the wealthy) but no one wants to talk about it.
Pfizzers vaccine will cost about USD $70 a shot where as Astra Zeneca has decided not to make profits out of a Vaccine so desperately needed in this Pandemic and it will sell at cost for about USD $ 7 a shot.
Also a vaccine can be either a preventive vaccine or a therapeutic vaccine, which means it can either protect individuals from being infected with Covid-19 or treat Covid-19 infected individuals. And it can either induce an immune response against Covid or consist of preformed antibodies against Covid. Covid Vaccine companies are not telling us if the vaccine is a preventative or a therapeutic vaccine yet.
All of us who have stayed alive the last 12 months, and am sure we have picked up small doses of Covid 19 Virus infections and our immune system not only fought it of but has developed resistance to some extent, Should we not wait ?? Should we be guinea pigs and succumb ??
I leave you with this thought.
Enjoy Your Sunday
Comments received on my Ranting:
1- Well reasoned issues! But am still not clear on what to believe or do. Have heard all this b4 from various WA posts. Guess I will wait n see what happens here and will lay my bets on fate - que sera sera! So be it, amen!
2 - Makes a lot of sense. Lot to think about
Disagree on just one point - about the time factor in making the vaccine. There was an urgency and the virologists had to work harder and faster. Nothing wrong in that
3 - Yes, my wife and I decided to wait for a few months after a few million people were vaccinated in the USA before taking the plunge.
Yes, it was true that vaccine development took several years in the past, including the phases of testing. But with today's supercomputers, the development times have been compressed.
Trump has corrupted and politicized the working of the CDC, FDA and the Dept. of Health & Human Services. Hence the lack of transparency on the part of the 3 main vaccine makers - Pfizer, Mederna and the Oxford vaccine. The 90% effectiveness rate has not been based on extensive stage 3 testing. Also, their results have not been peer reviewed. The FDA's 3-week review is rushed and their impending emergency approval is suspect.
Also, we do not know the real efficacy of the product. Does it stop the covid infection in its tracks, or does it only make the covid infection less severe?
As the companies analyze more data based on more people getting the shot, they COULD fine-tune the vaccine to enhance its efficacy.
4 - I worked at Pfizer and did receive stock as part of my compensation 30 years ago. The proposed vaccine has done nothing to the stock so that is not a motive. It is a reputable company and will do the tests properly. It is Trump who is rushing them so he can look good. Coronavirus is super perfect and to date no therapeutic drug has worked well. Vaccine is the only option left. Otherwise 10% of the world population will be wiped out
5 - My personal opinion and 2 cents. Do not vaccinate against covid 19 atleast for 2 to 3 years, to see the results and outcome of the testing underway.
6 - This seed was sown a week or 10 days ago.. "do we or don’t we need the vaccine".. the more I read, the less I feel the need. I’ve had the doubt too on whether it is a preventative one.. everything turns into a money making venture, eventually..
7 - All based around assumption that Gates is a shareholder in Pfizer. More likely that Trump is a shareholder too as he has been spruiking the vaccine. If you caught COVID-19, even in a small dose, you would be wrecked because of your weakened physical state.
8 - My reaction to your point that all of us have stayed alive for the last 12 months ...
Yes we stayed alive for 12 months but only by bring extra careful, not travelling, not having fun get-togethers etc. That's no way to live all your life.
So yes I believe we should take the vaccine and get back to our carefree fun life.
The question to my mind is the efficacy and availability of the current set of vaccines - we will have to wait a little longer to find out.
9 - I think with big Pharma - you have to take the good with the bad. We know they buy out rights from any one that comes up with cheap treatments only to shut it down so there is no competition affecting their bottom line. All of us have been treated at some stage with medicines the big companies have been behind. All companies are in it for the money. It is what it is unfortunately
I read with the Pfizer vaccine it has to be stored at a minus ? temp that adds to the cost
10 - Gates conspiracy 😄
Key questions imo
1. Does he own Pfizer share?
2. Did he add more shares recently, past 12 mo. If not, why not,?
2. If owning Pfizer is a slam dunk, then invest your life savings; if you truly believe in the conspiracy.
3. The high 95% efficacy is data from less than 200 patients. So the rest of the > 30k patient is still pending. So a little caution here
4. Can vaccine be a therapeutic? How does that work?
Just thoughts
