A VIRUS I TRUST
When the average man hears the term vaccination, the first thing that comes to mind is COVID. This is because it was the first time in a very long time when the world was at the mercy of a virus whose origin was unknown. The world needed hope, and for a lot of people the covid-19 vaccine was the hope they were looking for while for others, it was mere political propaganda. Turns out I’m on the propaganda side and that was first because of what everyone around me was saying about the vaccine, and later because I found the argument inconclusive. I have not taken the vaccine, I never contracted the virus, I heard some who even took the vaccine still died from the virus which made me wonder what I will be allowed into my body if I choose to take the vaccine. I don’t like it when I do not understand the mechanics of things around me, and this is not like when I was a child and had to take some of those vaccines. Although I believe the vaccines I took as a child and the general vaccines children take are needed because they have proven to be active. Viruses and diseases like Polio, Small pox, Chicken pox etc… are not viruses that should be taken lightly. But the way the corona virus came and left, is still a mystery to me. I don’t trust the virus, and I don’t trust the vaccine.

There were a lot of speculations that came up during that era, one of which was about the vaccine being a mark of the beast the bible talked about. A lot of pastors preached about it, others say the vaccine is a bio chip that is being injected into humans to control them. Well, in this day and age, the sci-fi movies we have watched coupled with the advancement of technology would make it believable that we can be tracked and controlled if we take the vaccine. To be honest I had given into it after giving it much thought, but then where is the proof, I did not even know who started that rumor or the integrity of the person saying it and thus I decided to let it go because I deemed it unwise to believe in a speculation without facts. A very prominent pastor even tried explaining some facts about the whole agenda behind the corona virus. According to him, it was a targeted attack on the church and thus the church should rise to fight it. People believed whatever made sense to their level of understanding, but everyone believed whatever they believed because they were afraid.
Vaccines never really stroke a chord before now, We only took them because we were raised to believe they were right, but for the case of the corona virus, it was clear that there were a lot of things that were shady starting with the origin of the virus, to the vaccine for the virus. There were those who even believed that the virus was a ripple effect of the 5G network that was introduced some months before corona virus started spreading, it may be true, it might not be true, the factors might be more complicated than we can even imagine, and that is the main reason why I will not take that particular vaccine, at least not until I can understand the chemistry behind it and the virus itself. I understand vaccines helps build our antibodies, but then again, I don’t just trust this one to only build antibodies.

5G 😂. You remind me about that ooo, 😂. Anyways we can’t underestimate the use of those vaccines we get as kids and during infancy. They prove to be effective.

Yes they do.
The reason why propaganda against the COVID-vaccines was so effective is because it was a novelty while other vaccines have been proven for years if not decades.
But now the vaccine for COVID has become one of the most widely used on this planet. Research about side effects is a lot more clear. And what we can say - from what I know - is that it is one of the most effective vaccines there are with fairly low side-effects. All vaccines can have side-effects, and so does the COVID-vaccine. When a big part of actors have as their objective to demonize the unknown, they will always find ways to do so.
Now COVID has become a virus that evolved to be more harmless than the first mutations. If you are a young male that has no major medical problems, be happy that you don't need this vaccine. But don't present medicine as something bad that can save human lives.
And since most ground-work of scientific research that cannot be turned into a profit by pharmaceutical companies is state-funded and thus often openly accessible, it is not really a secret how the vaccine works, to anyone interested. Here is a short intro for example that can be used as a starting-point for further studies of the topic:
And honestly I doubt the majority of people knows more about "classical" vaccines than this video teaches about mRNA vaccines. This would make most doubt about the vaccine irrational.
