Vaccine - not doing anything with the mRNA tech. Nope. Trying to hook up some Johnson & Johnson. If I think I need a booster I'll lie and go get a second one of that.

FWIW, you're still getting an mRNA vaccine, its just wrapped up inside a virus.

And boosters with the J&J are a problem, because your body also builds antibodies for the virus they injected you with. So with a 'booster' dose, your immune system kills a bunch of the virus before it can even enter your cells and create mRNA. That's why they only tested it for one dose. And its also why the Sputnik vaccine uses two different adenoviruses for their two dose regimine.
 
dont be dumb. Take the vaccine thats available to you.
If you got an mRNA I understand your resistance. - it's like a stock tip after the fact.
mRNA tech has never been approved before for ANY drug, vaccine or otherwise. Lot of scientists think it's bad and will bite some people in the ass. Number of other companies have abandoned it, due to adverse effect. Read up on it before claiming dumbz. Unless the first sentence applies.

Look, all you're going to do is go out and find some confirmation bias that makes you happy, so go on with whatever it is you're gonna do, but don't criticize others for trusting actual science (not "here's the bad stuff I found looking for 5 minutes on google and oh by the way, ivermectin is a wonder drug and we're all gonna be saved by that!") instead of your unfounded misgivings.

thats not it. I deeply understand the mRNA tech, and its amazing. Theres no reason to be afraid of it, and ignorance is not a reason. You're a smart guy, do you have informed reasons why you are concerned about it other than "its new" ?

I'm not the one who criticized - Domon is. All I said is that I am not getting an mRNA type vaccine. This is a ketchup debate.
