Honestly, it seems a tad reckless to make the first attempt at vaccination with this method one that targets the entire world population.


Given the desperate times, it actually seems like an ideal time. Even if there is some unknown side-effect, it only has to be less worse than the current situation to still be a net benefit.


What if it's more worse? I don't think desperate times call for throwing caution to the wind. A fundamental principle of medicine is "First, do no harm."


You say that now, but when you're part of a vast planet-wide meat computer transformed by the "vaccine" that aliens developed to turn us into their next-gen CPUs (5*10^11 neurons per sq. Kilometer!) ... Well, I'm guessing if that happened you'd feel a bit silly.


Thanks! Yes I should have googled it myself as you mentioned. Silly me!
