Do-or-die product

Theoretically, our body may go more haywire using the mRNA vaccines than the traditionally made vaccines of Sinovac.

With the use of mRNA vaccines, there may be a lot more spike proteins that will be produced inside the body to be recognized as foreign material to initiate antibody production. Thus, these big pharmaceuticals are claiming high efficacy rate.

However, there is a dark side. It may alter your own genetic composition, temporarily or permanently, that may cause other unknown diseases yet. Only time will tell.

In Sinovac, you are getting the spike proteins that are already present from dead viruses to start making your own antibodies against Covid-19 disease. No outside genes are playing a factor here. Therefore, there is a lesser risk factor coming into play than the mRNA vaccines.

Why does Sinovac have lesser efficacy in comparison? Maybe there are a lesser number of spike proteins carried by the killed viruses in a vial. Maybe the makers of the Sinovac vaccine designed it this way for safety reasons. But still, there will be some sort of response from the body to prevent mortality, which is more important.

Has there been any proven reports of serious reactions from Sinovac? None so far. However, I have read some coming from mRNA vaccine manufacturers. But I believe they are statistically insignificant.

Surely, we are wary about Chinese-made products. That’s the price they have to pay for making so many poor products. But, they are capable of sending man in space. They are getting better. They are trying to change their image. I think Sinovac is their do-or-die product. That’s why safety goes first.

Our colonial mentality is changing nowadays ever since good Japanese, Korean and Taiwanese products have been flooding the market, time will change our notions about Chinese products. — The Eye

Disturbing

What is disturbing is the fact that the firefight lasted for an hour. In the first few minutes of the encounter, they could have already figured out that they were shooting at their fellow law enforcers, given the fact that the PNP already arrived at the scene — CT R

Pass the blame

PNoy’s favorite line when things went wrong was “It wasn’t me,” then threw the blame to somebody else, friend or foe. The leader of the total failure party, the dilawans. Here’s a good quote for the dilawans from J. Burroughs: “A man can fail many times, but he isn’t a failure until he begins to blame somebody else.” — Fred Yturzaeta

Grace’s failures

It isn’t surprising if Grace Poe doesn’t care about the Filipino public. Hers is obviously a maneuver to gain popularity as she’s fond of portraying herself as an anti-corruption czar, but the truth of the matter is, she herself is as corrupt as her yellow patron, PNoy Aquino. Corrupt in the sense that she corrupts the lowly minds prone to her ambition toward the presidency! Lying is synonymous to corruption anyway! She lied about her actual citizenship, faked her citizenship documents, manipulated her “legitimacy” as a Poe, so as to pursue her own political agenda!

This Grace Poe hasn’t even proven anything, not even a dot of accomplishment throughout her entire political sit. Yet, she is so persistent in trying her luck to the top, a president! How could she be, given her attitude? How could she be president if, time and again, she is an antagonist to all what President Duterte has aimed for the country’s progress and development programs?

All what this Grace Poe must have to do is stay back home in her native land, America, and be in company with her former “racist” president, who couldn’t accept defeat, and dreams being a “forever” president of a bullish country, a country which did nothing in this world other than create wars! There’s where this Grace Poe belongs!

Let us all remember the failures of Grace Poe-Llamanzares during the term of her very good friend PNoy. For one, her investigation of the Masasapano massacre resulted in nothing but a waste of money, time and effort because she failed to finger PNoy and Purisima as the culprits. Then, there was the endless investigations and hearings she called relative to the LRT/MRT under the leadership of Mar Roxas and Jun Abaya, which also amounted to nothing because she failed to take action and also did not finger the main culprits, instead passing on the blame to minor players for the very clear cases of corruption in the projects.

Grace made so many failures and blunders during the six years of PNoy. Yet, we see her as if she is still lily white and once again painted with ambition, as if she is competent to be a good government worker. Her citizenship should once again be raised in the High Court, so she can be deported back to the United States, because as a US lackey, she will put the country in danger if given power. — Villa F.
