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."

    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.
