The vaccine was so shamelessly politicized last year by your heroes Biden and Harris why are you surprised that people don’t trust it. If you have had the vaccination as have I then you have nothing to worry about. What all of us should be worried about is the job that is now being done on this great country by the Socialists running the government now. Biden is just a puppet.
I’m not hurting anyone, it’s my right, the news outlets and government people are all lying, it’s not that dangerous…these are some of the arguments my Mother gave me about her smoking. Sound familiar?
She smoked herself into a coma twice, was on a ventilator twice, she died trying to rollover in her sleep, with the oxygen pumping away when we found her. You can’t inflate a balloon full of holes and yet she left me, with all the medical bills and permanent lung damage from her second hand smoke.
I think the anti-vaxers are the same, and while smoking is addictive and Covid is not, they don’t want to admit they made a mistake, they seem to rather die than admit they are wrong.
The vaccinated will never be sure that they are 100% safe, but they will try to protect themselves and others. For the unvaccinated with hat sized IQ’s, the 100% represents a whole other statistic.
The Vaccinated shed the virus and spread it. They spread it asymptomatically, a phenomenon which was RARE before the vaccine. This Study from the University of Wisconsin shows the high viral loads among the vaccinated. The ones who are a danger to society, are the vaccinated since they spread it with no symptoms while the unvaccinated get symptoms (usually mild) and are more likely to stay home and not spread it since they know they are sick.,
I live in central North Carolina. Many brands of cigarettes are named for the towns in this area. It’s also known as “Tobacco Road.”
There are a couple of tobacco company corporate headquarters in the area. At least one of them has a “you can smoke anywhere you want” policy in the office – shows you what lobbying with $$$ campaign contributions can do.
There are NO smoke-free zones in the building.
Once while unemployed, I was contacted about a potential job with one of these companies. I declined. My health is not worth any job.
I feel that I have a RIGHT to a safe work environment and that my right to life supersedes the “rights” of other people not to wear masks or not get vaccinated.
My current employer insists on mask wearing and social distancing. I believe that they would like to require proof of vaccination but the legality is fuzzy on whether this would be a HIPPA violation.
Fortunately, my work can be accomplished 100% from home.
It looks like we are determining what is “for the common good” is less important that what is for the “me”. The needs of the few out weigh the needs of the many. Right?
Listen to Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and Nancy Pelosi statements (as well as MANY in the MSM) made during the election. If TRUMP was involved it was dangerous and THEY were not going to take a shot developed by the Trump program and advanced by the CDC and FDA. You reap what you sow!
and then there are those of us rational thinking 100% recovered survivors with natural immunity after having been exposed to and or infected with the virus early on…this in spite of the fear mongering misinformation crowd…take the hook out of your mouth…oh wait, take the mask off first…
the BIG LIE not a mask wearer since start of 2020 never covered my nose. put a mask on to get in but only covered my mouth— oh yeah, healthy as i have ever been in my 72 years
Nope, still has to use bathroom facilities, so it doesn’t work. Getting vaccinated works. It’s not experimental, won’t make you sterile and just might, might I say, prove that you have gotten smarter.
Thank-you, Ken (of the right leaning group) – I don’t get it either! Although I DO have a bit of a theory I won’t share here…..in the meantime – funny cartoon strip today!
How many anti-vaxers, had parents that never had them vaccinated against, small pox, polio etc, etc ? How many didn’t join the armed services because they would have needed to be vaccinated ? How many never got a passport ? How many have helplessly watch a love one die ? How many have had to flee their homes, due to natural or man made disasters, and been denied shelter elsewhere ?
The data does not support everyone getting a vaccine. For many the vaccine is worse than the virus. Especially those under 20 and it gets worse under 12 and under 5. The data says there will be more that die from the vaccine in those age groups, than will die from the virus. Herd immunity for that age group is clearly the best practice. The decision is not a digital decision, it is or should be based on SCIENTIFIC data.
There is something at once discouraging and deeply sad when you realize that all of this misinformation about vaccines is just hazardous nonsense and the product of a very small group of anti-vaxxers superspreaders of disinformation.
I’m confused. Does the vaccine keep you from getting Covid? No. Does the vaccine keep you from dying of Covid? No. Does the vaccine keep Covid from mutating? No. Does the vaccine keep Covid from spreading? No. Does the vaccine reduce your chance of dying? Unknown (though maybe). Does the vaccine increase your chances of having long term health problems? YES.
But we must protect the vaccinated from the unvaccinated? Why?! Does the vaccine reduce or suppress a person’s immune system? Why does the vaccine make people more vulnerable? If it was a real vaccine it would make sense to protect the unvaccinated, but no, we must protect the vaccinated.
Shouldn’t we have realized the need for booster shots during clinical trials and testing?
Do we know the long term effects of the vaccine? No. . . . are there any FDA approved vaccines in the USA? No (as of September 2021).
