MMR Vaccine Could Protect Against the Worst Symptoms of COVID-19 :
"Administering the MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine could serve as a preventive measure to dampen septic inflammation associated with COVID-19 infection
[...] The protection was mediated by long-lived myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) previously reported inhibiting septic inflammation and mortality in several experimental models.
[...] The milder symptoms seen in the 955 sailors on the U.S.S Roosevelt who tested positive for COVID-19 (only one hospitalization) may have been a consequence of the fact that the MMR vaccinations are given to all U.S. Navy recruits. In addition, epidemiological data suggest a correlation between people in geographical locations who routinely receive the MMR vaccine and reduced COVID-19 death rates. COVID-19 has not had a big impact on children, and the researchers hypothesize that one reason children are protected against viral infections that induce sepsis is their more recent and more frequent exposures to live attenuated vaccines that can also induce the trained suppressive MDSCs that limit inflammation and sepsis."

they probably won't take it. I read somewhere a month ago that a survey said something like 30% of people won't take a covid vaccine even if offered free.

I would not take version 1.0 but I would take version 3.0. I want all the kinks to be worked out before I take it.
I would't mind taking a measles vaccine though, it's been around long enough for its safety to have been well established.

In the US, version 1.0 is going to be given to minorities:

They always test on animals before moving on to Phase 2 trials on humans.

Yeah, I hear that stuff gives you COVID. No wait, autism. No wait, 5G.
Actually, I'd *really* like to see the demographic/geographical breakdown of that number.

Can I give my phone a vaccine and get 5G? Where do I sign up?

5G?
If you can get me a 4G vaccine for my phone I'd be happy...hell, I'd even be happy with one which would give me a stable 3G connection...
I'm not, by nature, anti vaccination, *but* there's something so inherently fscking sketchy about this whole Covid debacle, and when smarmy greasy little cnuts like Gates are involved in peddling vaccines, I'll be buggered if I'll be partaking of it..
(For the record, caught the bug early March from someone who'd caught it from someone who'd caught it in Italy and brought it back here...)

Please tell us more. What, if any, symptoms, side effects, timing, etc.

Wait wait ... wouldn't you want to vaccinate your phone AGAINST 5G so that you won't get COVID?

Come to think of it doing this might give your phone autism ...

No, it's not the way it works. You vaccinate YOURSELF against 5G, not your phone. You DO want a 5G infected phone so that the COVID-19 virus ignores you and heads straight for your phone instead.
It's NOT a conspiracy... it's a plot.

You would get COVID.
The logic goes like this
5G causes COVID.
Vaccinations cause autism.
If you vaccinate your phone against 5G the phone won't get 5G but it might get autism. But at least you won't get COVID from your phone's 5G and you won't be the one to get autism because it's your phone that's being vaccinated.

Personally, it would depend on the exact vaccine you are talking about. There are different benefits and drawbacks to all of them. But then again, I've actually read the study results, their ingredients, mechanism of action, and more.
