NWO creates a plague that hits a lot but not all people.

NWO also creates the vaccine for the plague but the vaccine also reprograms your DNA towards their nefarious ends.

True Patriots know that the vaccine contains elements worse than the plague, so they refuse to take it. Even though they may die of the plague.

The puppets of the NWO mandate the vaccine to force compliance.

Even if the plague had black death level mortality (and it doesn't) that would be better than whatever the NWO put in the vaccine.

Well, you see if it is a chinese bioweapon then it is an act of war. Obviously we must all do our part to win the war. Vaccine mandates are like conscription, an unpleasant but sometimes necessary sacrifice to win the war. We should all be in favor of vaccines and vaccine mandates to help us win the war against the chinese bioweapon. :patriot:

What I don't get is that they could easily have gotten this to people in easier means. Slip it into the drinking water, or if it must be injected, into the flu shot people already take without (nearly as much) issue. There's so much poo poo people willingly put into themselves without ever checking that this has got to be the most high profile way of pulling it off. No need for a cover story. Hell, if it's a secret mind control bioweapon, why would they openly advertise how new and experimental it was? Why announce all the mRNA tech or whatever else? Why make it politically divisive? Why even make a fake plague to begin with?
Turns out it falls apart under the slightest scrutiny, like all dumbass conspiracies.

It'd be hard to argue for a new vaccine technology for influenza since we've been using one for a long time. And it may need to go into the bloodstream so drinking water wouldn't work. Granted, older anti-vaxx conspiracies talk about the former a lot and really old (like fluoride) talk about the latter. It is easier to scare people about something new using something old. Conspiracy theorists aren't that creative and they all basically boil down to some form of blood libel.

What's the conspiracy even supposed to be, like did someone tell him "Poland is one of the countries the Danube flows through" earlier? "Also the Alps reach as far North as Poland"?

Plus that he couldn't even possibly have won even if he'd wagered it all and gotten the right answer

Then just... don't tell people? Like if we're already at the stage of not telling people there's microchips or poison or juice that makes your brain controlled, why tell them about the mRNA stuff at all? Just say nothing and let them get their regular shots.

The influenza vaccine is a new one every year. The one you took last year is actually still perfectly good and doing its job, but the influenza virus mutates so fast that we have to target something new every flu season, and give out more shots every flu season even tho last years is probably good for 5-10 years

Kind of.

It has some activity in some people even years later, but efficacy against sickness declines for many after even just a few months, to the point that recommendations are issued that vulnerable people should not rush out to get shots in August, because that might ultimately leave them with declining protection in April when flu activity is high.

CDC posted:

Adults, especially those 65 years and older, should generally not get vaccinated early (in July or August) because protection may decrease over time, but early vaccination can be considered for any person who is unable to return at a later time to be vaccinated.

I mean, this is completely anecdotal, but I've seen tons of people argue that this is totally different from the flu shot they get every now and then because that's not a vaccine, or not mRNA, or whatever else.

Lots of people believe that Johnson & Johnson’s (viral vector) vaccine is somehow more “traditional” than the mRNA vaccines.

I obviously don’t correct them, but I do wonder where the idea comes from. I get that mRNA technology is especially emphasized and vilified in various media, but did anyone actually tell that that J&J’s shot is cool & good or did they just not hear anything bad about it and make their own assumptions or what?

I assumed this was another case where it's about the type of flu virus circulating, not the efficacy of the vaccine itself. They have a better understanding of what's going around so they'll have a more precise flu shot later in the season. Is this not the case?

There are no midseason changes. The formulation available in July of one year is the same you’d get in June of the next. Most flu vaccines expire on June thirtieth.

The Southern Hemisphere is on its own schedule, so if you dipped down there in January, in some years the vaccine available there may better protect you from the stuff you’ll see in the tail of the Northern Hemisphere season.

CDC talks about the process briefly here.

There is a new formulation every year but the technology is essentially unchanged from the '30s. mRNA vaccines represent a departure from that.
