    Antivaxxers claim #CovidVaccine is dangerous because of the #spikeprotein it induces cells in recipients to make. Currently, they're citing three papers to support this misinformation. As usual, they’re misinterpreting and/or misrepresenting the studies.https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-deadly-coronavirus-spike-protein/ …

        Bottom line, yes, two of the studies show that #spikeprotein can cause cell damage at high concentrations in animal and cell culture models, but the third study shows that the concentration produced by #CovidVaccine is so tiny and transient as to be harmless.

        My assumption when anti-vax people cite a study is that it was either poorly done or misrepresented. This is a knee-jerk reaction I fight to be a good skeptic, but it is there.

        Education becomes demonized when people can't attain it. The weakness is preyed upon by vicious people. Alternative facts are often more useful for their ends. It sucks because people die for nothing except for the power of others.

        If this movement were headed by people typically excluded from education, I’d believe you. But that’s just not the case.

        What do they think the virus does in the body? It forces your cells to make lots of spike protein! Then more virus that forces more cells to make lots of spike protein! The whole virus good, vaccine bad ideology is insane.

        Replying to @gorskon @ENirenberg

        Antivaxxers never compare what the vaccine does to what the live virus does. Live virus multiplies, invades cells, uses RNA and/or DNA to have the cells produce its proteins. The vaccine is just a single/double small dose that does not multiply - exactly the point of a vaccine.
