> We were originally told that mRNA vaccines did not spread around the body.

It's injected into the bloodstream, how can it not?



Incorrect. It is injected into muscle (ie IM vs IV). Furthermore, we were told for safety’s sake it would be absorbed locally. Finding it in breast milk, heart, ovaries, etc is a big ducking deal. Long term effects? Unknown but a certain subset of population very quick to minimize it. Like feeding your baby pharmaceutically altered mRNA is just like feeding your baby a carrot. Uh huh, sure, Prove it. That’s the whole point, can’t prove anything because they destroyed the control group (officially at least, my opinion is that we are all in the same massive experiment so I guess that makes me control).

Nah, moving goal posts on “safe and effective.” One by one the claims are they made have been dropped from marketing materials. The posters around my hospital sure have changed in the strength of their claims over the last few years.


Vaccines like this are not meant to be injected into the bloodstream. They’re meant to be injected into muscle tissue.

There is an injection technique called “aspiration” that is specifically intended to avoid vaccines being inadvertently injected into the bloodstream.

Unfortunately many countries have stopped performing this safety technique as it causes the injection to be more painful.


The doctors giving the injections here in Belgium were explicitly told not to aspirate. I asked both of the ones I had. They said it went against their training, but apparently they were told aspiration would somehow destroy the very fragile vaccine. None of them sounded convinced but both refused to aspirate.


Interesting.

I would have walked out the surgery if the doctor refused to perform this simple safety precaution.

"Destroying the vaccine" sounds like a peculiar argument against aspiration.


You could walk out, but that meant the app by the goverment would not show the "fully vaxed" status. This app was mandatory checked at every bar, cafe, restaurant, theater, ... , and they had to refuse you entrance if not vaxed.
