Immune systems aren't really that good at fighting diseases, which is why we have vaccines for the deadliest/most common ones @Dank_Furry_Pirate @Kayox

2020-12-09 18:17:11 UTC  

and yeah, **up to** five years

2020-12-09 18:17:24 UTC  

but it can be shorter if the final phase with irl trials is shorter

2020-12-09 18:17:33 UTC  

also if we already know similar viruses

2020-12-09 18:17:33 UTC  

I'm still gonna wait for other to try it first

2020-12-09 18:17:36 UTC  

@Lich King if immune systems weren't good at fighting diseases then everyone would be dead

2020-12-09 18:17:48 UTC  

Because vaccines used to not exist

2020-12-09 18:17:49 UTC  

mind you, smallpox has a 30% mortality

2020-12-09 18:18:01 UTC  

But with a weak immune system..

2020-12-09 18:18:06 UTC  

yeah so a lot more people used to die

2020-12-09 18:18:07 UTC  

they're good and get better
but with some diseases our immune system needs help

2020-12-09 18:18:08 UTC  

than now

2020-12-09 18:18:24 UTC  

30% mortality among healthy individuals dude

2020-12-09 18:18:35 UTC  

that means that out of 10, three die.

2020-12-09 18:18:39 UTC  

every ten

2020-12-09 18:18:48 UTC  

I don't think vaccines are bad
but rushing one
I'll just wait a little bit

2020-12-09 18:18:49 UTC  

the plague was even worse

2020-12-09 18:18:55 UTC  

no, you're right

2020-12-09 18:19:26 UTC  

but the irl trials that I keep referring to involve a test group of 20-30k volunteers that get a check in return for trying it out

2020-12-09 18:19:40 UTC  

a check you say?

2020-12-09 18:19:48 UTC  

that's not new, this method of vaccine making has been in the works for more than half a century

2020-12-09 18:19:50 UTC  

yes

2020-12-09 18:20:09 UTC  

I distinctly remember that in the summer they were looking for volunteers to try it

2020-12-09 18:20:15 UTC  

1200 USD if you do

2020-12-09 18:20:20 UTC  

up front

2020-12-09 18:20:26 UTC  

Yeah they're talking about paying 1500 dollars if you take the vaccine

2020-12-09 18:20:37 UTC  

again, volunteers to have as large a pool as possible

2020-12-09 18:20:43 UTC  

so why the monetary incentive anyway?

2020-12-09 18:20:50 UTC  

Because it's not safe and no one would take it under normal cicumstances

2020-12-09 18:20:55 UTC  

because it's an experimental vaccine

2020-12-09 18:21:19 UTC  

lol

2020-12-09 18:21:33 UTC  

Vaccines don't cause autism

2020-12-09 18:22:01 UTC  

mind you, the first three phases after the vaccine is made are to ensure the basics - it works, it doesn't kill you, and it doesn't have any bad side effects

2020-12-09 18:22:15 UTC  

and the scientists themselves are usually the first test subjects

2020-12-09 18:22:25 UTC  

depending on the person you might have unintended side effects
but that's rare

2020-12-09 18:22:29 UTC  

Autism genetically occurs as a result of vaccines because a parent with that gene would die off under normal circumstances without the vaccine

2020-12-09 18:22:30 UTC  

right, exactly

2020-12-09 18:22:44 UTC  

Survival of the fittest

2020-12-09 18:22:56 UTC  

so what I keep pointing to is that to find as many rare side effects, you need as large a pool as possible

2020-12-09 18:22:56 UTC  

You can't give someone autism with a shot
