Believe what you want, but I know first-hand how the development and approval process works, and why it normally takes a lot longer to get these treatments approved.

Haven't absentee and mail in ballots been used for years? Especially for armed forces personnel? My guess is there are more republican voters in the military than democrats, but I've never heard anyone in either party complain about problems with illegal votes from military personnel. I think even President Trump was an absentee voter this year, correct?

C'mon man, stop posting this shite will you !!. It was 2 (two) NHS nurses who had an allergic reaction at the injection site on their arm. Both had a lifetime history of serious allergic reactions to all sorts of things. Both were treated with antihistamines and the rash & swelling at the injection site was gone in a few hours. This is an entirely normal reaction for people with serious allergies.

Sorry, but unless I'm misunderstanding your last paragraph there is zero, zilch, nada genetic modification of the human body or human cells going on.
There are 2 different types of COVID vaccines currently being developed, The Pfizer & Moderna vaccines are mRNA type vaccines, and the Astra-Zeneca & russian ones are Viral Vector vaccines.

mRNA vaccines are relatively new. The way they work is somewhat hard to explain, but essentially the vaccine is a genetically modified harmless piece of the virus (mRNA sequence). This mRNA sequence is a code that tells the muscle cell to produce a harmless "spike protein" (antigen) that is found on the surface of the COVID virus. When the muscle cells produce the spike protein our immune system realizes that the spike protein doesn't belong there and immediately starts designing antibodies that can attack the actual virus should the person ever become infected.

Viral Vector vaccines are somewhat similar except the harmless spike protein is introduced to the body using a modified adenovirus (common cold virus).

As always, everyone has a choice as to whether or not they wish to get vaccinated and I'm respectful of that.

Agreed, but the same applies to the Republican Party. They too have gone much farther to the right. More & more these days, people don't vote for the presidential candidate, they vote to keep the other party out.

Both parties need some fresh blood and fresh ideas in order to get the country back together again. Getting rid of the likes of Pelosi & McConnell and their cronies would be a great start, and introduce term limits for these clowns. I don't think the 31 words that make up the Pledge of Allegiance have ever been so forgotten as in recent times.

Also, remember that Trump's political party affiliation has flip-flopped between Democrat, Republican & the Reform Party over the past 30 years. I wonder what we would all be saying now, if the Democrats had taken him on back in the early 2000's

What amazes me is that illegal voting only appears to have occurred in one party. If there truly was fraud committed, do you seriously think only Democrats would do it? I'm not trying to be confrontational here, I just can't believe that only one side would do it.

Totally agree. It's irresponsible articles like this that start circulating on social media making people believe it will protect and cure them from COVID, which doesn't just stay in the mouth.. Shame on you Tribune for adding fuel to the what will become yet another fake COVID news fire.
