      Does Noakes not realize that this is one of the hoariest, stupidest antivax arguments there is? I was dealing with it two decades ago.https://twitter.com/AlastairMcA30/status/1416643493502484489 …

      Allow me help! 1) The vaccine is not 100% effective. So unvaccinated people DO pose a risk to the vaccinated. 2) Some are immune-suppressed and require the rest of us to be vaxed to protect them 3) More infections = more variants. Threatens effectiveness of vaccines. /1 pic.twitter.com/6TY75MAWKT

      Hi David. If you read Tweet calmly and without hostility, you'll see that it does not ever advise avoiding vaccination. It's about informed consent and avoiding coercion. Coercion to accept any medical therapy as you should know conflicts with Nuremberg Code and Hippocratic oath.

      @ProfTimNoakes please define "true" vaccines?

      Don’t be lazy! Go look in a medical dictionary for the definition of vaccine. The 3 spike protein coding mRNA treatments do not fall under the definition of a vaccine. They are classified as gene therapy. This is public knowledge.

      Not sure I get your definition. A 'substance' could be anything. Even a molecule if it triggers the immune system into making antibodies then it qualifies under the definition above. Please expandpic.twitter.com/N0u81dQXsD

      Well mRNA is not such a substance. Because when injected by itself into the muscle it is immediately destroyed. So it cannot produce an immune response. Has to be carried in a protective coating - lipid nanoparticles.

          So by your definition is the definition in the dictionary wrong? Does the mRNA-based 'vaccine' not confer immunity? Does it not lead to the production of antibodies? Is it not achieving its purpose of acting as an 'antigen' which is exactly what's in the definition?

          Replying to @TendaiRam @ProfTimNoakes and

          It's a fine distinction. RNA is not the antigen (although it may well have adjuvant function); it simply codes for the antigen that is in turn expressed transiently by your own cells and then recognized. It is in that way unlike other vaccines, but in no sense a "gene therapy."

          You do know, don't you, that several forms of RNA, including mRNA, are immunogenic, right? The immunogenicity of RNA was one problem that had to be overcome to develop mRNA-based vaccines.🙄

          Replying to @ProfTimNoakes @TendaiRam and

          So what you’re saying is that the combination of the mRNA, lipid coat etc constitute a combination which provoke an immune response. Doesn’t that make... this a vaccine? Does each component have to operate separately as a vaccine before the whole is a vaccine?

          What do you think destroys it? it's unstable because it gets broken down so fast, either by intracellular or extracellular protective mechanisms (i.e. immune function).
