Are there long term negative effects of the Covid vaccine?



Many people fail to be properly vaccinated due to the amount of disinformation and outright lies popularised on social media. While we still don't know exactly how long the vaccine will last or whether we can expect a yearly dose (like the flu shot) the one thing scientists can determine with a fair amount of accuracy is if there are long-term effects that haven't been shown yet.

Since the 1960s with the first oral polio vaccine, major negative side effects have taken no longer than two months to appear. When these effects become apparent, it's up to the FDA and other agencies to determine if the numbers of these negative effects outweigh the benefits of a vaccine. if so, the vaccine is pulled and is not allowed to be used.

Because of this, there are websites and even apps that allow people with side effects to report them. The effects of vaccines are studied for years after approval and, so far, not only are we far past the two month mark but the chances of experiencing severe side effects is miniscule.

Two of the most popular vaccines use mRNA to deliver the vaccination. The "m" stands for messenger and, basically, sends a message to your immune system to fight the Covid virus. mRNA technology has been used for decades and is even used to treat cancer patients with no negative side effects.

The Covid vaccine has been proven time and time again to be the most important tool in order to stop the spread of this highly infectious virus and significantly reduce symptoms in those who have breakthrough infections.

Ice cubes that don't melt or get contaminated

Image
Water is the most important resource for life on earth. As with many other resources, we use a lot more than we need and contaminate it with plastic, manufacturing run-off, and oil spills. Much of the world's population has limited or no access to fresh water and the problem is expected to rise as the population increases. Scientists have now found a way to save water use with ice cubes that don't melt and don't get contaminated. Imagine how much ice we use on a daily basis, especially for shipping and storage purposes. If it's apt to go bad, we need ice (and lots of it) to keep a product fresh. These cubes aren't made of plastic, can be washed and reused multiple times, and are bacteria resistant meaning you don't have to worry about cross contamination. They have a feel like a gelatin desser and can change color according to the temperature. In the future, theyc can be made of agricultural recycled byproducts. Even after being used and reused do...

This amazing living "robot" can reproduce on its own

Image
  A xenobot might sound like something from a science fiction book or comic book movie but it's very real and now has the ability to reproduce on its own. Scientists first developed these very tiny living robots from the stem cells of frogs. Each is less than a millimetre in size and was not genetically modified in any way. So what is it? Well, it's a living organism that's been "coded" by researchers to have a certain shape. This shape, which was selected by an AI program, allows this living robot to heal itself and, now, reproduce. It's in the way this reproduction takes place that is a surprise. Kinetic reproduction is known to happen on a molecular level but has never been observed at the cellular level or by an entire organism. Until now. Xenobots ingest stem cells into their mouth and, from there, the smaller cells combine to produce more zenobots that look and act just like it's parent. This kind of reproduction can have many benefits. In...

Why bugs should be in our diet

Image
We often think of bugs as just creepy crawly critters that pester us when we're eating outside or lurking inside our homes. These perceptions are generally due to a lack of knowledge about the importance of insects and how much they contribute to our lives as humans on earth. There are millions of people worldwide that not only rejoice at the sight of these arthropods but they also use them as a protein source. Eating bugs is a worldwide phenomenon except in North America. But there are many good reasons why we should indulge. THEY ARE GOOD FOR YOU Bugs pack more protein per unit than other protein sources such as beef or pork. Edible insects may have superior health benefits due to their high levels of vitamin B12, iron, zinc, fiber, essential amino acids, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and antioxidants as well. GOOD FOR THE ENVIRONMENT Whether it's conserving water, grains, land use, or ecosystems, the insect is far superior to livestock or chickens. Not only d...
