It has been more than 3 years since COVID 19 started culling the herd of humanity.

Global number of COVID-19 cases to date

There have been more than three-quarters of a billion confirmed COVID-19 cases to date, likely a fraction of the true number of SARS-CoV-2 infections, the virus that causes COVID. An accurate and up-to-date picture of where and how much the virus is transmitting has been challenging given limited testing, imperfect surveillance and reporting systems, and other factors. This number includes more than 1.1 million in the U.S. that supposedly has some of the best medicine in the world today. (That is really up for debate.)

Even with these astronomical numbers, more that 750 million deaths worldwide, there are still contrarians. Many of these are right here in the good ol’ U.S.A. which leaves me dumbfounded. The nonbelievers mainly fall into the group that have roundly rebuked science for that addled opinion of one man, whom much to his minions chagrin has been given every vaccine. The very vaccine that they want their guy to get the credit for but still refuse to take themselves. The arguments range from, there is no way a vaccine could have been created so quickly, to Bill Gates is trying to reprogram our DNA.

• First argument: To Fast
  •  If they want to credit their guy lets talk about ‘Operation Warp Speed’.
  • Trump did not create the vaccine in his own private lab.
    • He is not that Smart.
  • Messenger RNA, or mRNA, was discovered in the early 1960s; research into how mRNA could be delivered into cells was developed in the 1970s. 
  • The mRNA vaccine research started in the Obama administration in 2009.
    • If you can do the math that’s 11 plus years before the COVID vaccine was given to the public.
      • I can already hear the dissenters, ‘how can a vaccine be made for a virus that does not exist?”
      • Scientists first identified a human coronavirus in 1965. It caused a common cold. Later that decade, researchers found a group of similar human and animal viruses and named them after their crown-like appearance. Seven coronaviruses can infect humans.
        • COVID 19 is a coronavirus

This really blows the way to fast argument out of the water.

• Big Tech trying to reprogram our DNA.
  • The technology used in the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines is a way of giving your cells temporary instructions to make the coronavirus spike protein. This protein is found on the surface of SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19. The vaccines teach your immune system to protect you if you ever encounter the virus.
  • The vaccine mRNA is short-lived and is rapidly broken down after it’s done its job, as happens with all your other mRNA.

The mRNA is designed to teach your body to defend itself from a virus, it will not give you superpowers or make you grown a third eye. To many people are watching the Avengers Movies, trust me none of the mRNA vaccines were developed by StarkTech and none of the nanotechnology in the Avengers movies is real.

There are hundreds of other easily debunked claims out there but I don’t have the time or energy to swat every one of them down.

The last one I will address is the dispute that if we have a vaccine why is there still COVID19. The easy answer is because a virus likes to mutate, evolve to survive and replicate, the sad fact that a large number of individuals refused to be vaccinated allowed the original strain to mutate generating variants that continued to spread. We have effectively wiped-out POLIO because once a vaccine was developed everyone got it and it was continued to be administered for generations. Unfortunately with an anti-vacs community it appears that some diseases we thought we had eliminated are making a comeback. My advice is get vaccinated and let Darwin’s law take care of the rest and thin the herd
