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."

    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.

    Sounded to me like vaccinating your phone so it gets 5G. What could go wrong?

      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.
