Experts Are Begging You Not To Make And Inject Your Own Homemade Covid Vaccines


A new paper in the journal Science has addressed people who may be thinking of using a DIY Covid-19 vaccine, or else creating one themselves, with a strong yet simple message: Please don't, you might end up dead.

Aside from the legal, ethical, and public health issues of self-experimentation when it comes to medical innovations, it's not safe.

“A homemade Covid-19 vaccine is perhaps more dangerous than people would like to believe,” Jacob S. Sherkow, a professor of law at the University of Illinois and co-author of the paper, said in a statement.

“We’re all sympathetic to the notion that people want to inoculate themselves against the virus. But people need to understand that every home remedy is not necessarily going to help, and some may very well be fatal.”

Well, damn, I guess I better stop all that vaccine stuff I've been doing in the kitchen.
 
Homemade vaccines? What's wrong with drinking bleach and shining UV light into your orifices?
 
I found this recipe online*

1. Sneeze into 6oz. plain, vanilla, or lime yogurt.
2. Incubate for 36 hours at room temperature.
3. Inject 1cc each into 6 eggs.
4. Incubate for 2 weeks in refrigerator.
5. Make omelette.
6. Feed omelette to shoggoth.
7. Strain shoggoth through cheese cloth.
8. Mix shoggoth liquid with equal amount hand sanitizer, to neutralize live virus.
9. Let sit for 6 hours, then vaccine is ready.

As a researcher I could do this. Probably many in the Science audience could. But it would be stupid.
 
It's interesting how desperate people are over COVID-19. It's driving some people mad.

People will try to find any kind of treatment vaguely appropriate for a particular condition.

Were you this freaked out over SARS or MERS? Granted those weren't pandemics and didn't touch millions of people, but COVID-19 is in the same family tree, and actual antiviral treatments are similarly lacking and there hasn't been a successful coronavirus vaccine despite research (though without as much funding) over the past 15+ years.

There hasn’t been a need to develop a coronavirus vaccine. Before Covid-19 and besides SARS and MERS (which were limited in circulation) coronaviruses caused mild illness in humans. In addition, a vaccine against one isn’t going to protect against all. A vaccine for (one family of viruses responsible for) the common cold would be cool, but not exactly a pressing priority.

Whatever you're into, consenting adults et cetera...


Anyway, while I deeply respect the efforts of Jenner and his work with James Phipps, I fear that using uninformed children as test and development animals is no longer acceptable.
It is perhaps surprising how important orphans have been to the development of vaccines.

Hmm... I did see that reposted QI clip a week or two ago about shipping cowpox injected orphans across to S. America as a way or transporting "smallpox vaccine".
Might be (if true) a more benign abuse of orphans. [emoji15]

(No word on if being left there afterwards was better or worse than returning to Europe. [emoji53] )

The STATEMENT is by one of the many co-authors (doctors in there too) of the paper cautioning about the legal, ethical and public health pitfalls of an untrialed homemade vaccine. Just two clicks into the story's background and you'd know that.
I think the potential devastating health effects go without saying.
 
I was at a garden center yesterday and there was a sign that said they had no oleander shrubs and that oleander was toxic, should be handled with gloves and ingesting any part of the plant could potentially lead to death. I'm not sure if that sign was related to the My Pillow guy going on TV trying to sell his Oleandrin dietary supplement as a cure/preventative for COVID-19. The FDA did not approve Oleandrin as a dietary supplement and no studies found evidence it cured or prevented COVID-19. Since you now can't buy Oleandrin, I'm wondering if people were trying to make their own COVID-19 cure with the plant.

Setting aside everything else wrong with what this jackass is doing, has he thought of maybe a sterile or at least clean workspace? Seeing as his work area appears to be untreated sheet boards, I don't see how everything in the room wouldn't have mold spores on it. He mentioned rain in the first video. In high humidity, those walls would be a fungus dance party.
