Would be willing to bet that:

  • Erdogan was informed of these plans by Putin personally and was fine with playing a part in them.
  • Finland has documents that explain this.
  • Finland has refrained from accusing Turkey of this because they actually value the NATO alliance and don't want to sow discord, even if Erdogan is guilty.

A vaccine isn't going to alter your immune system response anymore than digging in the garden might. Honestly, digging in the garden or eating some fresh fruit/vegetables/cheese will probably expose you to more foreign genetic material, virii and microbes than a vaccine ever would, thereby altering your immune response to a much greater degree. It's ignorant made up reasoning loosely based on ignorant made up useless meandering out dated philosophies.

The immune system is a learned response system. It's trained by exposure. That's the way it works. The specific way it is introduced to foreign material doesn't matter, except that certain ways are more likely to allow an infection to take hold.

You know what can really alter and possibly mutilate a body? A serious infection.

Edit to add:
Going to the gym or just exercising alters the body by making it stronger, adding muscle, but have never heard a religious person say that is taboo because that would be ridiculous. Vaccines make your immune system stronger in much the same fashion, through use and training. There's absolutely no good argument against them.

Had one at home and used the hell out of it, don't get me wrong. Was my first computer. Played the Zork series on that thing. But, it had issues and wasn't a financial success.

It's really unreasonable how I continue to require food each and every single day despite many attempts to just not.
Sorry everyone! Didn't mean to let you all down. Will try harder next time.

Ya know what was a foundational part of the American dream? Pensions. Ya know which employers still offer them? Counties, states and the federal government.

Private companies exist solely to make the people at the top very rich based on the stolen value of employee labor while dumping catastrophic losses in the public sphere. That's capitalism in a nutshell.

You'd have to be unbelievably gullible, naive, traumatized AND brainwashed to be a diehard for a system like that. But, somehow they've managed it. A deluded nation of Amway top performers just one move away from making their own imaginary millions. All simping for the system.

Republicans negotiated with, capitulated to and were just steamrolled by a small cadre of political terrorists who'd held their party and the US government hostage and they won't suddenly make everything okay? You don't fucking say...

As someone who never had kids, I'm glad everyday that I never did.

The first concept of vaccination was invented in 1796. It was an unknown idea before this. Which religion has an opinion on this and how exactly does that work when there was no concept of the thing in question when any of these religions were formed? It's such utter bullshit on its face. There's no grounds for this. It's made up crap on top of made up crap, as a grounds to shirk a simple procedure that saves lives.

But, also, this headline is dumb. Religious medical freedom advocates have been about this for ages. The only thing new is they got one dumb judge to make a bad ruling.

If he was pronouncing it correctly, the response would be "what'd you just call me?"
