I was ill post vaccine, at 6 (clotting nose bleeds, came on suddenly and was a problem for about a year), my elder brother got Mono (EBV) post vaccines/flu shot at 19, my Mom got shingles and later died of cancer post after 8 years of seasonal flu shots. After my childhood vax issue, I had serious anemia until I was 30 when it got so bad I had to have treatment for it. I see all this quite differently than I did just a few years ago.

Me too. I think my last injection as vaccine was 1976 to go to Ft. Knox and get a job as my parents urgently desired of the 19 year old paying no rent. :). Later I could not square actual lived American history with progressive modernity. A bit later around 1988 I figured out my life world even in the The Big City was nuthin' but https://youtu.be/af0rV6dli_o

The control group for many vaccines is often given another vaccine. Say Measles for the HPV vaccination for example.

I don't know how many vaccines I've had. Probably about 4-6 the same as my daughter and my wife. But this is not even closely comparable to what Americans have had to put up with.

Off with their heads with prejudice.

99% of the population is vaxed. If you’re a functioning member of society it’s impossible to avoid them.

Ha good lord. Bottom line is a very small percentage of people have significant negative reactions to vaccines but hundreds of millions of lives have been saved. Given how viruses spread, widespread vaccinations are needed to save human lives.

You get that QAnon was created by a left wing nutcase who wanted to feed disinformation to blinkered people on the right. QAnon is trying to get you to believe vaccinations are dangerous because its leaders want you to die. Don't listen to them.

Here's a description of the isolation of the first COVID-19 virus. Took me about a minute to find it.

You've got a lot to learn it would seem. You think that we havn't seen such claims before? We're just really thick arn't we?

Right wing Trump voters into the bargain right?

From each according to his fragility, to each according to his creeds.

The truth you have spoken Richard is each franchised entity in their exquisite fragility votes. Alarming of course but the world is not perfectible and man to have actual self rule must try and fail and try once more.

They're still claiming there's no record of "SARS-COV-2 purification" anywhere.

No, there isn't, because no lab in the world uses that language. This is made up stuff.

Made up. To isolate anything has a specific cognitive map. Then truth claims arise.
