RFK Jr cut half a billion dollars in research funding for mRNA vaccines. He & Marty Makary claim mRNA vaccines are “risky” so they’ll shift to “traditional, older” vaccine tech that’s “safer.” Guess what? We used to immunize people by blowing powdered smallpox scabs up their noses. 1/

The first attempt at vaccination in the colonies was done by scraping people with a sharp object containing a bit of smallpox pus. An enslaved African named Onesimus in Boston told his owner, Cotton Mather, about it in 1716, a practice long performed in Africa. Onesimus later purchased his freedom.

The issues described in the article you shared don’t pertain to mRNA vaccines. With vaccines, the lipid nanoparticles carrying mRNA are taken up locally by muscle at the injection site. Delivering mRNA systemically to organs like the liver is a completely different challenge.

And more than that, various organisms can be vaccinated against differently. For example, streptococcus pneumonia; that vax takes that bacteria’s greatest defense, it’s polysaccharide outer layer which makes it hard for our antibodies to detect it.

An effective conjugate vaccine that protects for 25 strains currently, doesn’t need live bugs in it, just the dead polysaccharides and the allergen to help our antibodies learn that polysaccharides are a threat vector. This doesn’t work against COVID. But it does against that particular bacteria.

mRNA vaccines are safe, have been in development for decades, & have far broader applications than older vaccine technologies. New vaccine technologies evolve when scientists have tools & knowledge to make something more elegant or complex that wasn’t possible before. 5/

Exactly, but how do we get this information out to the Neanderthal DNA carrying half of the country? How do we educate the ignorant? They rejected knowledge before in history and set mankind back a few centuries, and now they’re going to do it again.

I know I’m grasping. The myth that Neanderthals were slower than homosapiens has been debunked. But I just can’t figure out why people revert to superstition and anti science, trying not to learn from history etc. I guess I was just hoping it was genetic and not learned behavior. What could it be?

Humans. Experts on conspiracy theories (broadly defined) disagree on the exact percentage, but they’re in agreement that an overwhelming majority of Americans, 2/3, 3/4, or more, believe in at least one common, well-debunked theory. And why shouldn’t they, most of the time? 1/

You’re not dealing with Witches either.

How interesting— I didn’t know hair color had anything to do with the hysterical accusations in Salem. Who were your Salem ancestors? In some English families, like my own, on my maternal grandmother’s side, family members with Magical abilities are said to have red hair and blue eyes.

Catherine E. Cullen @catherineecullen.bsky.social

Before my hair turned white, I had red hair. My eyes are blue. In Salem, in 1692, William Brown(e) accused Susannah Martin of witchcraft because his wife, Elizabeth had been mentally ill for years & he blamed Susannah for it. As a result, Susannah was murdered. They called it tried & executed then.

Actually determining who is a witch or not is a tricky business. For whatever reason, my ancestors survived. Were they snitches? Or innocent? It’s been over 300 years. It’s hard to say.

And, of course, none of the people who were murdered at Salem in 1692 were Witches. 19 women were hanged and 1 man, Giles Corey, was pressed to death when they tried, unsuccessfully, to torture him into confessing. Several others died in jail awaiting “trial,” including a baby.

None of the people executed were named Brown (of either spelling). The only Brown directly involved in the Salem trials was Susannah Martin’s accuser, & he may or may not have been your ancestor. Who knows? As you say, after 333 years, it’s hard to tell who’s descended from whom.

And the other thing, with respect to vaccines, is that getting sick may incur long lasting side effects. Although the zombies now say "traditional vaccine", once they defund the only existing vaccine, it means "no vaccine".

Exactly-I’ve explained to a lot of people that if a vaccine causes side effects, it’s usually true that the virus can too -at higher frequency. On the other hand I’ve also urged people to keep COVID in perspective- many diseases can have long term effects it’s just that we know so much about COVIDs’
