Covid-19 Vaccine: December 2020 – January 2021 In the Toronto Star, it was recently reported, “How to discuss the COVID-19 vaccine with those who want to avoid getting it.” “The commenters express some hesitation about receiving their dose of a fast-tracked vaccination, which they argue has been approved too quickly, with future effects still unknown.” “Unlike those who are “anti-vax” and vehemently oppose vaccination or laws that regulate vaccination, people who are vaccine hesitant may delay or refuse being vaccinated despite the existence of thorough scientific research into vaccinations.” “Maya Goldenberg, an associate professor of philosophy at the University of Guelph [in Canada] and author of the forthcoming book “Vaccine Hesitancy” said, “Approaching conversations with vaccine hesitant family members should be done in a way that is patient and kind.” “Listening attentively to specific concerns and not being dismissive is key.” “Building up a rapport and showing kindness can bridge the gap and help people come to terms with being vaccinated.” “You might find resistant people becoming at least more open to talking and considering why, for example, this vaccine might present as an opportunity rather than a threat.” “In cases where people have become wrapped up in unfounded conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 vaccines, she suggests not engaging in a discussion to try to prove them wrong.” “Conspiracy theories are sort of crafted in a way that you can’t just disprove them on a factual basis.” “If you weaken one point, there’s another that’s … going to come up. So I’d say just wait for them to come around.” But I wouldn’t say they are “conspiracy theories” so much as fear and concerns and questions about this particle vaccine because of its “warp speed” and “mRNA ‘new’ technology” that scientists are saying aren’t new but I am concerned about, and its “proteins” that can cause all sorts of stress and trauma and struggle and anxiety in a body, along with “nanoparticles” being injected that cannot be removed should there become a problem in the body and/or mind. “Omar Khan, an assistant professor at the Institute of Biomedical Engineering at the University of Toronto, said that while Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine has been approved for emergency use in Canada faster than is usual, the standards of approval have not changed.” But here’s what gets me right here, “While the MRNA TECHNOLOGY USED IN THE COVID-19 VACCINES IS NEW TO CONSUMERS, it’s been studied for years,” he said. I am very concerned that this is “new to consumers.” Omar Khan said, “It’s in a variety of CLINICAL TRIALS and OTHER FORMS. So it’s not like this is brand new.” But according to Mr. Khan, it is brand new to consumers who have not experienced this “new mRNA technology” in their bodies and our public. And I wonder what “VARIETY of TRIALS” and “OTHER FORMS” they’ve tested it in that he makes no mention of or their results. We can “assume” good results, but what were the trials and errors, and how many “years” has this “new technology” been studied? And has it been studied in test humans or only rodents and animals? Mr. Khan also said, “How you talk to a relative that is vaccine hesitant is going to vary depending on the person.” “Like Goldenberg, he warned against becoming combative. “We never want it to be a combative argument or combative conversation, especially (with) someone that’s very entrenched in their opinion ~ we have to respect that.” But I don’t believe many people are very “entrenched in their opinion” regarding this vaccine, like they are with childhood vaccines, but are more so concerned and fearful of this vaccine because of its “warp speed” development and this strain of Coronavirus being “new” to consumers and the public, and mRNA technology that is also new to consumers and the public, and “nanoparticles” that I am all very concerned about. For vaccines normally take years and “sometimes decades” to develop and test and improve and approve for public safety use. Business Insider said, “In the US, vaccine development undergoes a specific set of steps that includes exploratory phases, pre-clinical trials, new drug application, four phases of vaccine trials, and thorough vetting from the US Centers of Disease Control and Prevention and the Food and Drug Administration. gathered by the Holy Spirit with Teri Fedler posted January 28, 2021 Covid-19 Vaccine www.opencovenantlife.org Page 1 of 8 All of that combined could take multiple years, and even then, it might not be as effective as hoped.” Derek Lowe, author of the industry blog In The Pipeline who has more than 30 years of experience in drug discovery, told Business Insider, “I would be extremely happy to be wrong, but I don't really see how a vaccine can get put together in time to help out with the likely course of this current outbreak." Omar Khan, “suggested telling people who are opposed to receiving their shots that you intend to get one yourself to stay safe and do your part to stop the spread.” But I can’t follow Mr. Khan’s advice because I don’t intend to get one myself. For I take very good care of my health and had to work very hard to overcome viruses with critically low white blood cell count and extremely low red blood cell count and a whole host of other major health problems and deficiencies and weaknesses and challenges along with excruciating pain in body and toxic sufferings with pressure and bloating and dehydration and a severely compromised and debilitated immune system and allergies and asthma and intestinal bloating and cramping and chronic constipation and exhaustion and fatigue, not to mention the vaccines I received as a kid and wondering what all this heavy metal poisoning was doing in my body along with dental fillings as I also suffered mercury poisoning and my tongue became like a battery against my teeth, along with a huge painful lump in my breast and suffering all of this at once for many years with no real accurate diagnosis or cure and having to fight against viruses and vaccines and sicknesses and diseases without medications or further vaccines or steroids, chemo or radiation. Mr. Khan also said, “Saying ‘it’s important for me, I have you in my life, and I have kids and other people … who would really benefit from me being protected,’ may go a long way in convincing loved ones to do the same.” And as much as I would love to keep my family and kids in my life and not get this virus and stay alive, I am very concerned what this “warp speed” vaccine with “new technology” to the people and public with “nanoparticles” could do to my family’s health and brain in the future; along with mine. Mr. Khan also said, “Sometimes it takes some people a while to get used to something new, and that can be scary.” But what also really concerns me is “nanoparticles.” What are they? And I don’t want them in my body, or strange proteins. STAT News, in Boston, MA [a “media company focused on finding and telling compelling stories about health, medicine, and scientific discovery”] said, “Lipid nanoparticles are the fatty molecular envelopes that help strands of mRNA - the genetic messenger for making DNA code into proteins ~ evade the body’s biological gatekeepers and reach their target cell without being degraded.” “These carriers are used to package the active chemicals in drugs such as the chemotherapy Doxil or the cholesterol-lowering medicines Repatha and Praluent so they get to their targets with fewer unwanted side effects. And nanoparticles are being investigated to ferry the genome-editing CRISPR-Cas9 to target organs, in hopes of solving another delivery challenge.” And CRISPR “is a molecule that finds a string of DNA code, locks on and makes a precision cut.” “And because scientists can tune it to target any genetic sequence, they can use it to turn genes off or replace them with new versions.” In December 2019, Science Alert wrote, “New Details About The Infamous 'CRISPR Babies' Experiment Have Just Been Revealed.” “More than a year ago, the world was shocked by Chinese biophysicist He Jiankui's attempt to use CRISPR technology to modify human embryos and make them resistant to HIV, which led to the birth of twins Lulu and Nana.” “Now, crucial details have been revealed in a recent release of excerpts from the study, which have triggered a series of concerns about how Lulu and Nana's genome was modified.” “How CRISPR works - CRISPR is a technique that allows scientists to make precise edits to any DNA by altering its sequence. When using CRISPR, you may be trying to "knock out" a gene by rendering it inactive, or trying to achieve specific modifications, such as introducing or removing a desired piece of DNA. Gene editing with the CRISPR system relies on an association of two proteins. One of the proteins, called Cas9, is responsible for "cutting" the DNA. The other protein is a short RNA (ribonucleic acid) molecule which works as a "guide" that brings Cas9 to the position where it is supposed to cut. The system also needs help from the cells being edited. DNA damage is frequent, so cells regularly have to repair the DNA lesions. The associated repair mechanisms are what introduce the deletions, insertions or modifications when performing gene editing.” And MIT Technology Review reported that same month saying, “China’s CRISPR babies…” “He Jiankui’s manuscript shows how he ignored ethical and scientific norms in creating the gene-edited twins Lulu and Nana.” “Titled “Birth of Twins After Genome Editing for HIV Resistance,” and 4,699 words long, the still unpublished paper was authored by gathered by the Holy Spirit with Teri Fedler posted January 28, 2021 Covid-19 Vaccine www.opencovenantlife.org Page 2 of 8 He Jiankui, the Chinese biophysicist who created the edited twin girls.
