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.
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.
I just don't get it! HE IS SUPPOSED TO BE A SCIENTIST
