Do Covid Vaccines Prevent "Brain Damage"?

Posted: 21 Jan 2022 08:05 AM PST

Way before all these delta plus and omicron variants existed and when covid wasn't as spread, I read that covid causes long term brain damage on people who were healed.

Cured patients were having "confusion, trouble focusing, changes in behaviour, brain fog" and things like that.

I want to ask if these new vaccines also protect against this since they successfully reduce severe symptoms and even death?

By the way, this might not be a thing anymore or that vaccines were not designed to combat this. I don't know. I'm just asking.

These all seemed disastrous when I first read about it and I'm still anxious today.

If PCR tests look for specific DNA sequences, how can they be false positives?

Posted: 21 Jan 2022 12:40 PM PST

As per the journal entry I link below, sometimes 5% of PCR tests can be false positives

The UK's COVID-19 testing programme uses real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) tests to detect viral RNA.1 Public Health England reports that RT-PCR assays show a specificity of over 95%, meaning that up to 5% of cases are false positives

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7850182/

How can a PCR test be a false positive? You either have the DNA of a specific virus or pathogen you're looking for, or you don't. How can a PCR accidentally find DNA that isn't supposed to be there, and consider it "false" ?

How can water act as a moderator in LWRs if it also absorbs neutrons?

Posted: 21 Jan 2022 09:55 AM PST

In an RBMK reactor the moderator is graphite and water is boiled to generate steam, but also used as a coolant. In LWR reactors water is used as a moderator and coolant if I understood it correctly.

So my question is:

Is the water defined as a coolant because it absorbs neutrons from fission, or simply because of its thermal properties? And if it can absorb neutrons, thereby slowing the chain-reaction of fission how can it also be a moderator in LWRs?

Is the full dose of the covid vaccine necessary?

Posted: 21 Jan 2022 08:56 AM PST

Suppose you only got injected with a few drops. Would that have the same effect as the full dose or would it just not do anything. If it does have the same effect why make the dose that large?

Is there any small possiblility that humans get rabbies from rabbies vaccine ?
