    The video is a fear campaign to match the pro vaccine side. I don't buy either one. To answer all of the questions about possible effects of this or any other extant vaccine, we might be lucky if our great grandchildren got to receive the injection.

    We've been accepting the rationale for vaccinations for generations, and some of the same fears can be expressed about many of the shots we routinely subject ourselves to. I'd like to see statistics about possible deaths related to the seasonal flu vaccine, and wouldn't be surprised to see similar numbers.

    The reality may well be that we've been careless for decades, and many current disorders have their origin in commonly used vaccines. Truthfully, the general health of the American populace has improved, in part due to the use of vaccines, so the trade appears to lean in the positive direction, so far.

    The list of chemicals made me laugh. I almost expected to see the deadly dihydrogen monoxide listed. I doubt that the producers of the video would recognize any of the chemical, or whether any of them had any degree of toxicity. Another scare tactic.

    The nature of the virus, and its rapid mutations were what drove the design of the vaccine in the mRNA direction. The outcome of the research indicates that we may see universal vaccines for seasonal flu and the common cold, among other promising indications. The flexibility of the activation mechanisms may even enable the creation of an anticancer vaccine.

    Humans are supposed to be rational, decision-making animals. We often make trades between conflicting undesirable outcomes to reduce the worst results. An auto seat belt can strangle you in an accident. An auto airbag can crush your chest and cause immediate cardiac arrest. Those are real outcomes, documented, but the number of lives saved hugely outweigh the few who die in freak incidents, so we favor the safety measures in spite of possible deadly exceptions. What's playing out now is that the government has hyped everybody up on fear that our hazard detection systems have gone into overdrive, to the point of irrationality.

      The most important aspect of American life that makes us healthier than, say, India is engineering. We have backflow prevention, relatively clean water, chlorinated swimming pools, modern sewer systems, availability to modern agricultural technologies along with excellent conditions and land for farming that produce nutritional foods readily available to every American community that hasn't burnt down its own grocery stores.

      Vaccines killed my dad. Killed my friends 15-year old son. Gave my son encephalitis that he'll never fully recover from. Recently killed my neighbor's mother. They can offer benefits too, though. There are no solutions - only costs and benefits. What we need now that we have all this knowledge and technology is....honesty. That would bring everything full-circle. But, we're not going to get that now. Ain't it great to have a brain?

        I'm sorry about your dad, although I'd be interested what vaccines caused his demise, and how you know that. I have a severely autistic grandson that could have suffered his condition from vaccines, but there's a lack of concrete evidence to support that. It's disheartening when friends or family are part of the negative statistics related to medical treatment.

        The reality is that medical errors (vaccines aside) are the biggest single cause of untimely death in the US, greater than traffic accidents or homicide. Nonetheless, more people live longer, healthier lives than at any past time in history, so we have made a collective trade benefits decision.

        People were scared of the pandemic, with some saying we were overly fearful, while others were saying we weren't scared enough. In any case, the government was under the public gun to come up with solutions, and for anyone who listened carefully, there were those in the medical community who cautioned that a rush to find a solution carried greater than usual risk, but many didn't want to hear that, and now claim the risk was being hidden.

        Once you start a witch hunt, it's easy to find witches, especially if the hunt is being driven by fear. Whether you or others like it, I see all this rage about the vaccine and how it was developed as a witch hunt, looking for anyone to burn because the treatment isn't perfect, and carries risk, just like we were told in the beginning.

    Some good things in there, but it was almost as much fear as the real thing. Good grief! Listing "Sodium chloride" on the list of chemicals you're supposed to be afraid of in the vaccine? So what if some of that stuff is also on the list of fertilizers. Tell us what it does and its effects on the human body to be credible.

    I like the art style, I just wish they didn't combat fear with more fear.

      I don't disagree. Take out the 5% that you mention and it's pretty good. Truth be told...a short cartoon isn't enough to cover this topic. I have studied the vaccine industry for almost two decades, watched America's fascination with "the science" and really have a deep understanding of what's going on. But, I'd have to speak for a couple hours to do it justice.

      I noticed the NaCl as well. Saline solution. Still a good video, but like all the other fear porn, the consumer needs to be aware which is real and which is not. There's so much flying around we all need to pay attention.

        To be honest, I'd be suspect of any injection that didn't include saline and some other basic pH balancers. Otherwise you risk some adverse reactions just at the injection site, etc.

    I shared this with friends, who get overwhelmed with tech info. This is perfect. I tend to go overboard, with a college biology history, and this is much better for them. It does not contain the magnetic nan particle part, nor nor how the brain proteins will fold, or how millions will die. But, it gets the job done. Very good. From the start it troubled me that China had a patent on the virus, and bio-weapon producers never saw the real virus, so could not really make a true vaccine, so they ran with a rare chance to depopulate instead.
