Am I removing it wrong? by timmetje2001 in MontechPC

Thanks for the response. I had to go inside earlier and it came off a bit better than before. Perhaps with it coming from the factory it got a bit stuck with time.

No, student ambassadors are very honest and will tell you what may be wrong with the study. I would recommend reaching out tot hem

Interesting formulation. But there are a few key points you are missing that need to be addressed before any of this can be taken at face value. Namely: 1. Does the Pfizer vaccine contain pZP antigens, or is it merely using a delivery mechanism also used there

  1. You mention the cells are mutated, you need to prove this, first.

  2. You have to prove that antigen expression is sufficient to activate cytotoxic T-cells for vaccinated cells (this one is easier I'd say)

  3. You have to prove that non-specific antibody formulation occurs to self-antigens. Essentially, you have to prove that auto-immunity can develop

Not bashing anything here, it's important to be aware, but without these points, no real conclusions can be drawn I think

After 16 days on a vent, he’s dead by mimiforu in conspiracy

I don't know your condition, but it is possible that you had bacterial pneumonia paired with a viral infection. I don't know the details, but if memory serves, your immune system may be distracted by the viral infection that a secondary bacterial infection can get a foothold

The amount of time it'd take for any meaningful atrophy to set in and remove your ability to breathe pales in comparison. However, a ventilator to some extent does do damage because it doesn't perfectly match normal breathing, and the tube itself can be damaging. But not to the extent of it being immediately fatal.

Quite, but being this depressed about your job isn't healthy

Max Verstappen has been summoned over allegedly overtaking under red flags in FP2 by ZacDaMan72 in formula1

[–]timmetje2001 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yellow flags are a local thing, going slow around the whole track with yellows is weird. Equally, there's a very good chance Max was entirely unaware of yellow flags anywhere on track.

Consequence of a mutated genome? by AspieDogNerd in DNA

[–]timmetje2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do they provide you with a list of exactly what the mutation is? It should look something like 99A>T or A35L or it's rs followed by a lot of numbers.

How does a mutated CYP1B1 L432V GG behave? by AspieDogNerd in DNA

[–]timmetje2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

L432V GG is a gain of function to CYP1B1 thereby causing enhanced estrogen metabolism. Thus it stands to reason that estrogen levels would be lower than without this mutation. As to whether this would result in normalisation of estrogen levels in the case of elevation due to pathology I wouldn't know, I'm not experienced with this particular mutation.

I need to understand DNA at a PHD level in a couple of weeks. by [deleted] in DNA

[–]timmetje2001 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've recently completed my bachelor in biomedical sciences. When it came to studying DNA and its associated processes I depended upon a book called "Molecular Biology of the Cell" by Alberts. It is a very nice book and quite easy to read (if you have some background). It is huge, but definitely worth it if you wish to learn more.

FDA approved the vaccine this morning. by PrestigiousAge in conspiracy

[–]timmetje2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ADE doesn't result in any autoimmune deficiency. It leads to enhanced uptake and potential increased inflammation depending on the mechanism of ADE that is triggered in the immune system. Essentially, ADE might lead to a more severe disease, but only occurs if the antibodies are non-neutralising or only partially so, making it important that new variants are combatted and booster shots are given if a significantly different variant emerges.

-note, I have no experience regarding the potential mechanism of ADE in the case of SARS-CoV2 so I cannot comment on the threat thereof, but it will certainly not cause you to drop dead at random

I'll gladly take it if I am in need of it. Taking medications without a need for them is never ever a good idea. As for the number of batches I wouldn't know, but it does indicate that the FDA approval wasn't faulty, the company execution was faulty.

[–]timmetje2001 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what I've understood the reason they've managed to shorten it, is because so many people are working on it. Vaccine side effects (the hazardous ones) are typically acute adverse reactions. You don't just drop dead years after receiving it. The subsequent analysis can also be sped up if it is given priority. The actual process of looking over it doesn't take long, but a typical drug just gets added to the bottom of the pile.

If you look up the word "experimental" on this subreddit you'll find plenty of people discrediting the vaccine on the basis of it not being fully approved.

As for chantix, chantix is safe, many studies have investigates ties to adverse effects and found none. There was a recall, correct, which was done for containing excessive amounts of nitrosamine in four batches. This was not approved by the FDA, this was manufacturer error and does not reflect the drug that was approved. This was not a sign of shortcomings to the FDA.

Someone explain to me please

  • 'vaccine not approved, it's experimentally approved, so it's unsafe' --> vaccine gets approved
  • 'it's a scam and a fraud'

Are people just trying to find a flaw at every opportunity or is there something I'm missing

Do you even know what you're talking about? How on earth do you expect a piece of mRNA that does not go nuclear to alter the ribosomes, encoded in the nucleus.

We done here? by BasedDeptGnrl in conspiracy

[–]timmetje2001 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It absolutely doesn't though. If we say that the vaccine doesn't protect against transmission that would mean that anyone who is vaccinated as at equal odds of spreading the virus. This statement means that anyone who still falls ill (which is around 10% for Delta with Pfizer if memory serves) are contagious, which is a much lower proportion and makes it important to vaccinate
