All those new words in our medicine chest

All the new words we are using and using them as if they were always part of our vocabulary.

The Pfizer/BioNTech and Moderna are mRNA vaccines. 

Then there's the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine, and don't forget the Sputnik V vaccine.

Add to the list the Janssen and Novavax vaccines.

At first it was called SARS-CoV-2, then Coronavirus, moved to Covid - 19 and it now appears we are back to Coronavirus.

Earlier they were talking about vaccination, but now we are about to be inoculated.

And who had ever heard of Wuhan before March 2020?

1. By definition: An mRNA-vaccine isn't a vaccine at all because it does not trigger an immune response in the human body. A 'gen therapy' would be the more appropriate wording or as mentioned in your blog 'inoculation'.

Dr Wakefield describes it in more detail here:

2. Germans have already heard about Wuhan before 2020. German Chancellor Angele Merkel visited Whuan in September 2019, just one and a half months before it was first identified there.

According to the HSE's CMO mRNA is a vaccine. Surely it's wise to take advice from a doctor, even the HSE's CMO?

There may well be Germans who had heard of Wuhan, but I doubt if the majority of German citizens had heard of the Chinese city before Covid-19.

And I am surprised that you Andreas, a German, would misspell the German Chancellor's name.

Should we not leave medical matters to the experts?
