There is zero risk of these vaccines integrating into our own genome or altering our genetic makeup.” Taylor explained that mRNA enters cells shortly after vaccination and instructs them to create a SARS-CoV-2 spike protein, prompting the immune response. He added that unlike gene therapy, mRNA vaccines are then "rapidly degraded” by the body.

The average starting salary in PA is around $40k. Sure with 20 years and a masters you climb the scale but it takes a long time to build up to the big bucks. and as far as these Chicago teachers being lazy….I can’t think of one teacher who would voluntarily choose to teach remotely over being in school. Remote teaching is 10x the amount of work. There are no easy online text book or work books to just make kids go do it online. My wife had to literally create every worksheet she would typically use in a classroom as a editable PDF document. 25 kids in a zoom. Try it with 5 work friends and see how productive it is then think about 6 year olds that can’t log in, can’t type their own name, can’t mute or unmute, can’t turn their camera on. It’s a crap show. No teacher wants to deal with that again.

Instead of the proteins staying at the injection site, it's travelling everywhere. This causes the immune system to attack the organs--often leading to death.

The main difference between eukaryotic and prokaryotic cells is that eukaryotic cells have a nucleus. The nucleus is where cells store their DNA, which is the genetic material. Next

It's amazing how much more money you make if you work and extra 3 months. I bet if they went year round their starting salary would be 55k or more! You mean they have to use the computer? They don’t really get 3 months off. With teacher work days they get about 8 week off over summer. Districts typically pay you as a 12 month employee though some have the option of 10 months as that’s the length of the contract. There’s no ability to make more money if they were to hypothetically work year round. It’s a 10 month contract at $X paid out in 12 months so really they make less each paycheck that they should because it’s being stretched over 12 months. Alot of teachers work second jobs at night and over summer. At least the newer teachers. Once you’re tenured and have a bunch of years and bump up on the pay scale then maybe you don’t have to do that. 4 minutes ago, EaglesRocker97 said: You'll have to excuse Paco, he has a real hard-on for trashing educators. He certainly has the talking points down but clearly never dated or married a teacher. Next he’ll tell me how they get holidays off and have excellent benefits.
January 6, 20223 yr So about this flurona stuff, I've never gotten a flu shot but would consider it in these circumstances. A question I have is, if I get the flu, does that make it easier to get COVID because my immune system would be taxed to the point of making a corona infection easier, essentially lessening the the effectiveness of the mRNA vaccine? Perhaps @DEagle7 or @we_gotta_believe can offer some insight?

With Omicron being insanely contagious to both the vaccinated and the unvaccinated alike, there's really no chance we all won't catch it eventually. No shame in it, except for horrible ishlibs like mayanh8 and vanhammersly. They should feel shame for spreading it.

Flu is supposed to be extra nasty this year, on top of the omicron going around. Recommendation is you can get both at the same time. https://www.cdc.gov/flu/season/faq-flu-season-2021-2022.htm Quote Yes, you can get a COVID-19 vaccine and a flu vaccine at the same time. Even though both vaccines can be given at the same visit, people should follow the recommended schedule for either vaccine: If you haven’t gotten your currently recommended doses of COVID-19 vaccine, get a COVID-19 vaccine as soon as you can, and ideally get a flu vaccine by the end of October. I was able to get a flu shot before I was eligible for the booster.

Not sure if it makes you more susceptible to getting infected if exposed (in theory I suppose it's possible) but it likely makes you more susceptible to worsening disease for the reasons you mentioned. Definitely get the flu shot.
