Fam, don't take that vaccine. I had the COVID and survived. I will take my chances with the COVID instead of taking that untested shit. If you have black skin in America, then I advise don't take that shit. It is a death sentence waiting to happen. I ain't even talking about the spiritual times we are in. Never in our history have they came up with a vaccine so quick. I don't trust it. And the record for black folk is horrendous. Watch your neck.

Moderna's vaccine is safe and 94% effective, regulators say, clearing the way for US emergency authorisation.
The analysis by the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) means it could become the second coronavirus vaccine to be allowed in the US.
It comes one day after Americans across the country began receiving jabs of the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine.
The news comes as the US coronavirus death toll passes 300,000, according to Johns Hopkins University.
Endorsement of the Moderna vaccine by FDA scientists was announced on Tuesday, two days before the vaccine panel meets to discuss emergency approval.
What were their findings?
The 54-page document said there were "no specific safety concerns" and that serious adverse reactions were rare.
If approved by the team of experts later this week, and by the FDA's vaccine chief, shipments could begin within 24 hours.
The FDA found a 94.1% efficacy rate out of a trial of 30,000 people, according to the document they released.
The most common side effects included fever, headaches, and muscle and joint pain.
Last week, the FDA released similar data from Pfizer before voting to issue approval.
media captionUS Covid vaccine: Three key questions answered
Moderna was founded in 2010 and so far has never had a product approved by the FDA.
The company's stocks have seen a nearly 700% increase so far this year.
How does it differ from the Pfizer jab?
The Moderna vaccine requires temperatures of around -20C for shipping - similar to a regular freezer.
The Pfizer jab requires temperatures closer to -75C, making transport logistics much more difficult.
Like the Pfizer jab, the Moderna vaccine also requires a second booster shot. Moderna's second jab comes 28 days after the first.
The company is based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and has said that if approved, the "vast majority" of its vaccine would be manufactured there.
Pfizer's drug is being manufactured in several countries, including Germany and Belgium.

Fam... They probably developed the vaccine using her cells. They took down our quarterback from having our back. They trivialized our protest. Patroned our vote. Now when it's time to vaccinate a population, BLACK LIVES MATTER?
First to jam that shit up Trump's ass and get arrested for it. But it would deemed lethal and I'd be shot in the back.
China been sitting on the Vaccine for months.
COVID-19 vaccines teach our immune systems how to recognize and fight the virus that causes COVID-19.
It typically takes a few weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19.
That means it is possible a person could still get COVID-19 just after vaccination. This is because the vaccine has not had enough time to provide protection.

New York opens vaccine sites in Brooklyn and Queens to target hardest-hit neighborhoods.

New York State opened two large vaccination sites on Wednesday in Brooklyn and Queens, part of an effort to boost inoculations in neighborhoods that have been hit particularly hard by the pandemic and where residents include some of those most vulnerable to severe illness from the virus.
The sites, established in partnership with the Federal Emergency Management Agency, were built to “bring the vaccine to the community that needs it most,” said Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo at a news conference at the Queens site, located at York College in Jamaica, on Wednesday. “And we’re going to give that community priority to get the vaccine.”
Each site is expected to provide 3,000 vaccine doses a day; Mr. Cuomo said they are the largest vaccination sites in the state so far.
Appointments are reserved only for eligible people who live in ZIP codes surrounding each location, many of which are home to low-income communities of color and immigrant communities who remain the hardest hit by the virus. After Saturday, the sites will be open to those in the surrounding borough.
At the York College site, the targeted ZIP codes are all in southeastern Queens. They include parts of Jamaica, South Jamaica and Far Rockaway, which were hit particularly hard by the virus and where only 3 or 4 percent of adults have received at least one vaccine dose.
The site in Brooklyn, at Medgar Evers College, will first focus on vaccinating residents in parts of East New York, Brownsville, Bushwick, East Flatbush, Canarsie and Bedford-Stuyvesant, which include some of the poorest neighborhoods in the city and have disproportionately low vaccination rates. It is also open to residents of neighborhoods that have been hit somewhat less severely by the virus, including Crown Heights, Prospect-Lefferts Gardens, Prospect Heights and Clinton Hill, which have large communities of color.
Data released by New York City officials showed that many of the areas being targeted by the state sites had some of the lowest vaccination rates in the city, in some cases lagging significantly behind the share of residents vaccinated in wealthier ZIP codes in Manhattan that have higher proportions of white residents.
Experts say people across the country who live in underserved neighborhoods face a variety of obstacles in getting the vaccine, including registration systems and websites that can take hours to navigate; a lack of transportation; and difficulty getting time off from work to get a shot. Many people in communities of color also are more likely to be hesitant about getting vaccinated, in light of the history of unethical medical research in the United States.
According to the city’s data, white New Yorkers have so far received a disproportionate share of the doses administered. Of city residents who received at least one dose, about 42 percent were white, 15 percent were Latino, 16 percent were Asian and 12 percent were Black. Latino and Black residents were underrepresented: The city’s population is roughly 29 percent Latino and 24 percent Black.
Those eligible to receive the vaccine at the Brooklyn and Queens sites can schedule appointments online, by calling 1-833-697-4829 or by visiting the locations in person between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m. Appointments are required.

Pfizer’s COVID-19 vaccine does not contain graphene oxide, according to fact-checkers and medical experts
The vaccine developer’s COVID-19 jab does not contain the toxic compound graphene oxide, according to The Associated Press, Lead Stories and PolitiFact.
What you need to know
- A spokesperson for the company told PolitiFact that “While graphene oxide — a material made by the oxidation of graphite — is used in some vaccines, it is not used at Pfizer”
- Medical and chemical experts unaffiliated with Pfizer told The Associated Press that there’s “no way” the compound would be found in the pharmaceutical company’s jab
- According to PolitiFact, graphene oxide does not appear in the list of ingredients shared by the CDC for the Pfizer, Moderna and Johnson & Johnson jabs
"Dr. Rebecca Wurtz, professor of infectious diseases at the University of Minnesota, said none of the ingredients in the list Pfizer provides to caregivers and patients for its COVID-19 vaccine show graphene oxide. None of the listed ingredients is another name for graphene oxide." - PolitiFact
