@grod it is only the Johnson & Johnson one that has cloned something or other from an aborted baby. Please don’t come at people for their beliefs, I’m not getting the vaccine either but I’m still fine with people getting it if they want to it’s their choice.
Great message, great pattern, beautiful overall. Great job @KelseyW00! I might be making this for my mom cuz she's a doctor and she got her vaccine a while ago 😊 and thank you to @Nautilus and @CakeCup for taking the time to explain it to other people 😘
@Nautilus Thank you! I'm so happy you recognized the RNA! I was worried it wouldn't make sense. And thank you for taking the time to help educate. You too @CakeCup. And everyone else for that matter. So appreciated. ❤️
@KelseyW00 I really love this pattern, amazing work!! I love the font, the use of the syringe, and the RNA in the background, it looks so cool! I can't wait to make this 🥰
@Caramel04 great points! Also that sounds so stupid to claim the vaccine is evil because of an enzyme being named luciferase... "lucifer" is a word from Latin that is suspected to have come from ancient Greek, and those languages have been around longer than Christianity, so as you said it's original meaning has nothing to do with the devil. I'm actually learning about scientific terminology in a class rn and we're going over the history of Latin and Greek and how it spread and became a part of naming things in science, it's really interesting! Also @CakeCup tysm for your explanation and taking the time to try and educate people! I totally feel you, I've never gotten involved in the "drama" that happens on here at times because 1) I've been scared to & 2) I feel like it won't make a difference anyway. But this time I'm reading some of these comments and I'm just... wow 😓The internet has made it really easy to spread misinformation, and people will readily fall for things. It's important to be able to tell whether a source is credible or not, whether you're doing research for a school project or just for personal reasons. An MCD biologist (Molecular, Cell, and Developmental) for example is way more certified to talk about the science behind a vaccine than a politician or religious leader who likely has strong ulterior motives. I'll admit I was a little surprised and skeptical at how fast the vaccine was produced, but science and technology has come so far, and the people who made it were working hard to help save lives. Science isn't perfect, nothing in the world is really, but for now this is one of our best options to protect not only ourselves but others as well.
The vaccine is made of mRNA. Even without the vaccine, you have mRNA in your cells. It is a protein that helps your cells know what to do and how to do it. The Covid-19 mRNA vaccine is basically just a copy of the actual virus, but it doesn't have harmful effects. It is ejected into your arm, where it then goes into a cell. That cell, then recognizes that the mRNA is an unidentified substance, which makes the cell attack it. The makes it so your cells recognize that that specific mRNA is bad for you. This means that when the actual virus comes, the cells sees it and attacks it without wasting time trying to find out how to fight it.
I just wanted to write this to help educate people. The reason it was developed in a year is because we have better technology than we did several years ago. Please get it. You will be helping hundreds of people. Yet again, please get the vaccine!
@kayla_will I watched a bit of those videos to try to understand where you were coming from, but it a lot of the "evidence" is not scientific evidence at all. Just because a molecular compound vaguely related to the vaccine is named "luciferase" (which a quick google search says is from the Latin for "lightbearer") does not mean that the vaccine is suddenly evil or something like that. The video feels very fear-mongering and emotionally driven and I don't think it's something we should be recommending on this site, especially because of the young audience. To the rest of the readers of this comments section: fact-check claims and accept the ones that are backed by professional, scientific research. I generally don't like to get involved in controversial comment sections, but I think the message of making sure claims are backed by real evidence and not just accepted at face value is very important, especially regarding a topic as serious as a global pandemic.
