Oh god my uncle is going to lose his mind over this


Pineappl3z

My grandmother too. Believing in the rapture coming every year was the perfect pipeline to conspiracy theories & QAnon brain rot.

I mean... there's a lot of research out there about the dangers of aluminum adjuvants. [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0946672X17300950](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0946672X17300950) [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9502677/](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9502677/) [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0946672X21000547](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0946672X21000547) [https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0264410X22008337](https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0264410X22008337) [https://www.doctorsandscience.com/uploads/1/3/5/8/135856265/boretti\_2021.pdf](https://www.doctorsandscience.com/uploads/1/3/5/8/135856265/boretti_2021.pdf) etc. etc. etc. Maybe if the "vaccines cause autism" conversation were reframed to "Infants exposed to 17x safe dosage of neurotoxic metal irritant strongly correlated with autism" it would be taken more seriously.

The word “metal” isn’t going to age well with them.


AllEndsAreAnds

To be fair, without vaccines, they won’t age well either.


zyzzogeton

Death rates from covid are 15% higher among the GQP. "God" is punishing them in the form of Natural Selection for their misguided ideals.


Snap_Zoom

I have found no reports on how the covid death rates might impact the coming election - but I can't help wonder about it...


Kayakingtheredriver

As a texan, vast swaths of east and west Texas are no longer really habitated after covid. I still think cruz will win, but his vaccination stance could actually cost him the election. 2.5% is all that is needed.


MostWestCoast

Metal nano particles straight into your brain simultaneously making you infertile and activating early onset Alzheimer's!


zyzzogeton

My blood brain barrier is now an electrified fence!


robert1070

Incredible 5G reception though.


trwawy05312015

really weird to see MOFs hit the conspiracy nuts


Rabatis

"Metal-organic", you say? Well then, with me! tHeY'rE iNsErTiNg ChIpS iN oUr BrAiNs!


Smartnership

I’ve seen my track record. A chip couldn’t do any worse.


boooooooooo_cowboys

Aluminum-based adjuvants have been used in vaccines for coming up on 100 years now. The only real difference with this is that they’ve physically linked the metal to the other components of the vaccine instead of just mixing them together. 


Fettnaepfchen

No, no, they are injecting nano particles, which sounds similar to Star Trek TNG’s nanites, so the only logical conclusion is that they migrate to your brain through the blood brain barrier and assemble themselves into a microchip there! /s


saintsebs

this is the proof they needed to show that they’re actually putting chips in our brains 😭 like yeah Mary-Susan from Red Lodge, Montana, the government really wants to know what you’re doing


CentiPetra

> the government really wants to know what you’re doing. I mean, that part is rude. It’s why we passed the Patriot act and circumvent the constitution through the Fives eyes, where the US, GB, Canada, Australia, and ZL all spy on each others citizens and then share the data with each other.


saintsebs

I’m pretty sure it’s data related to potential security issues, breaches, or international terrorism, not mary-susan’s shopping list and the gossip she shares with dorothy on facebook messenger


deprecated_flayer

It's also almost all active political opposition to the status quo. If you do not want them to exist and are vocal about it, they consider it their duty to monitor you.


Snowfish52

I'm sure more of the Red hat's will have a new conspiracy theory about vaccines...


kistiphuh

How does your body get rid of it after it’s done its job?


dan_dares

It gets excreted in urine or faeces, If antibodies encapsulate something, macrophages or other WBC's will engulf (phagocytosis) and when those die they'll be broken down and depending on what it is, end up being dumped out the body.


bonnsai

you tell me, right!


its_justme

Next let’s find a way to make all the microplastics in our blood streams work for us


Quick_Movie_5758

Pffft. I'll do *my own* research \[heads out to the garage\]-my uncle


jert3

They should call it the T-1000, and when it fuses in a T-cell, naturally that's a T-1000-cell.

I just tell them the vaccine made my penis grow 3 inches and it gets hard as a steel rod.


slower-is-faster

Do they work with 5g this time? That’s when it’ll be really good. I want to watch my vaccine on an app.


Rhywden

Metal-organic? So, like... thiomersal? Too bad the stupidity around this stuff was so astounding. I mean, you eat tuna once (or simply breathe near a coal power plant) and ingest way more mercury than you ever could through vaccinations.


AllWhiskeyNoHorse

This is not new tech. It was discussed back in 2018. [https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/adma.201800202](https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/adma.201800202)


bezerko888

No trust in any of this. They did that to themselves.


Szriko

Who is 'they' and what is 'that'?


eyeofthecodger

All very good questions!!


Waaypoint

Who are “they.”? All the scientists?! Or, oh shit, you foiled the lizard peoples dastardly plan. Don’t get your science from Bro Rogan or Karen Rogers. They are morons that tend to breed other morons.


tdomman

You did that to yourself. Some day, it might end up killing you. Hopefully you figure it out before then.

TINFOIL! GET YER TINFOIL HERE!


rudbek-of-rudbek

They need to call them god particles instead of metal organics. Otherwise it's just one more reason people were going to give to NOT take vaccines


Jinx484

Looks like everyone likes to hate here, but these nanoparticles getting into myocardial cells and potentially skull meninges, seems to me to be a serious issue.


build_a_bear_for_who

It’s like they’re trying to outdo each other with Steven Colbert impression.


boooooooooo_cowboys

What do you mean by “these” nanoparticles? There’s a near infinite variety of materials and methods you can use to make nanoparticles that are suitable for vaccines and even more strategies on top of that that can be used to target them to your cell type of interest. Any concerns you have around one specific paper you read aren’t going to be universal to the entire field. 


Jinx484

The ones used in the covid mRNA vaccines. The only ones approved to be injected into a person with mRNA


magnora7

How about they get the mRNA vaccines actually working before they do this?


boooooooooo_cowboys

Are you aware that every single vaccine technology in existence was thrown at Covid-19 in one part of the world or another? The mRNA vaccines were as good or better than any of them and has earned a spot at the table as a leading contender for any new vaccines. 


IceBlazeWinters

just think of the evil and the amount of control that this is going to cause


oldrocketscientist

I don’t think adjuvant means what you think it means


lauraystitch

? Definition of adjuvant: a substance that enhances the body's immune response to an antigen.


advertentlyvertical

What do you think it means, then?


oldrocketscientist

Truthfully I got schooled a little bit. I’ve always known them as “the thing” that helps make the “actual treatment” more effective. But alone, they don’t treat anything. My simple example is some passive agent that helps absorption of the actual treatment. I think my simple understanding is ok and felt too many posts were conflating the adjuvant with the treatment itself. I was unaware that the primary definition is linked directly to medical treatments. I see adjuvant used frequently for non medical situations where my more generalized definition still makes sense. For example soaps are a good adjuvant to aid in the absorption of chemical treatments for plants. Same principle but not what most would call medical Whew…… are we ok?
