minus-squarePolarlinkfedilink35•2 years ago This vaccine was so incredibly safe that it’s ridiculous that she chose to die rather than getting it. Unlike the transplant meds. Pretty large increase for cancer from them. Seems weird to refuse a COVID vaccine, but be fine swallowing a ton of meds every 12 hours that increases your risk of cancer significantly. Obviously me and many others accept that increased risk, because like you said, the other outcome is just dying straight up. In the end I’m glad the organ went to someone else who will respect and appreciate it.
minus-squareMapleEngineerOPlinkfedilinkEnglish18•edit-22 years agoI have a background in chemistry. Early in the pandemic when all the anti-vax nonsense was at its peak I took a look at the ingredients in the three main vaccines in Canada (A-Z, M, and P). For the most part they all included: mRNA which we all have in our bodies all the time 4 salts of which one was table salt 4 fats of which one was cholesterol and sugar. That’s it.
