I disagree. mRNA COVID shots don't reduce infection or transmission risks and should be withdrawn. A study of 1,745 Swiss healthcare workers (Nov 2023–May 2024) found mRNA boosters raised influenza-like illness risk by up to 70% and workdays lost by 50%.

"Block" means stopping the virus from spreading from one person to another. In May 2020, tests showed mRNA vaccines might not fully stop the virus from living in your nose, so you could still pass it to others.

In May 2020, preclinical data suggested mRNA vaccines might not block transmission. In October 2022, Pfizer's Janine Small admitted no pre-market transmission tests were done. They claimed the spike protein was safe, but many peer-reviewed studies link it to health issues.
