listen kids, its not black and white, its never black and white

You need to reevaluate your life

That's how most people are nowadays. You're either with me and parrot whatever you are told to say or you're the enemy. Its pathetic that people cant see that and continue to act like that.

You also need to reevaluate your life. Not just for the lies but how you both came to this conclusion

No, I dont. I didnt lie either. I shared my experience with covid and the almost life ending side effect my niece had to the vaccine.

We don't believe you and that's your own fault

Like there's legitimately something wrong with people like this where they'll make up lies about the vaccine to try to deter others.

That's fine. You're entitled to think whatever it is you want to think.

nobody who knows what they are talking about says that the vaccine is 100% safe and effective. no vaccine has ever been 100% safe and effective, that's not how vaccines ever work, there are always exceptions and a nonzero risk of side effects. why must you make bullshit up about one side when you want to compare it to the other side and claim they're both equally bad? just admit that the data supports the claims of the one side and directly negates the claims of the other side.

braindead MAGA anti-vaxxers parrot what their glorious orange god-emperor told them to say. everyone else looks at the data and statistics and "parrots" what the facts show.

yeah anyway like you say, it doesn't really matter

this does matter though

I'm more concerned with other stuff right now, covid and everything surrounding it feels quite minor compared to everything else

Everything the Vaccine might do to you, the actual virus might ALSO do to you 10 fold. Get your covid vaccine.

I have all of my vaccines but the covid one so I dont think that makes me anti vax.

The funny thing is everyone at my work that has had covid that also have all of their vaccines were all sick for 2 weeks and were coughing like crazy and had no sense of taste or smell for months. The unvaxxed people at work all recovered faster and had no lasting effects compared to the vaxxed.

That second paragraph of (likely made up) antivax rhetoric is what makes you antivax.

Oh I should've refreshed before posting, dude kept going lmao.

also tired of people going on about 'you'll only die if you're fat or old or have a compromised immune system' as if that means we shouldn't be careful anyways - as if it isn't worth doing what we can to protect those people

you put others with those issues at a higher risk by being selfish and secondly, we barely even have a grasp on the long term issues associated with getting covid. even people who were asymptomatic are showing signs of long term problems that developed as a result of contracting it

don't be so carefree with the lives of others

I've had the first booster.

I got the original Vax and booster. No need at all for me to get any more shots.

Got the newest booster vaccine back in November and everything tastes better. Fruits, cakes, butterflies, human legs; it's all good.

Why are antivaxxers also compulsive liars?

Hey, did you ever get a chance to answer my question?

Will_VIIII posted...

I can't fathom idiocy like this when 99% of covid deaths are still from unvaccinated people

PumpkinEscobar posted...

Is there an article or something that mentions that?

That source is from July 2021. This was true in summer 2021 when a lower percentage of people were vaccinated and Delta was moving through the population.

There are a ton of more recent sources, for example:

https://www.webmd.com/covid/news/20221127/more-vaccinated-people-dying-of-covid-as-fewer-get-booster-shots

Basically, you still roll the dice if you go unvaccinated but using almost 2 year old data is simply not the best way to argue your point.

Fully vaxxed by the standards of what I'm eligible to get under NZ's laws, which is three shots of the original vaccine (no bivalent available here yet).

I need to get the latest booster. Dont we have to pay for it now though?

Fair, though a recent article shows that only 36% of covid deaths occurred in boosted people so statistically, those who aren't unvaccinated or are skipping the boosters are at highest risk still

Haven't got the new booster yet

Basically, all the data I've seen shows that the elderly are most at risk and contribute to the overwhelming majority of vaccinated deaths, which makes sense. Unvaccinated people who die tend to be younger - often middle aged and with other comorbitities (obese, etc).

Fortunately omicron is much less deadly than Delta but the vaccines haven't been as effective targeting those new variants.

I would love to see reliable data on natural immunity but no one makes money funding that kind of research...

Sept 2021 for a concert. Nothing since. Have had covid twice.

@rexcrk
I think some counties or major commercial companies in the USA are still federally funded for vaccine dosage. The last one I received was free for Tarrant county residents of Texas. But I haven't checked since then if funding was cut off in 2023.

Still need to get the bivalent and plan on it soon. Was a little late getting the flu shot this year and my doctor recommended waiting a couple weeks before getting the booster.

I just say im completely vaxed and people believe me.

Really gunning to be the worst person in the topic huh?

I think its still free

Fortunately it was a mild case.

It was a mild case because you were vaccinated. Vaccines are not 100% protection against it, but they do reduce the chance you get it, they reduce the effects of the disease if you get it and the reduce the transmission rates of people that get it. Thats how herd immunity develops and works.

Only got the first two shots. Never boosted. Dont see a reason to since these new variants arent nearly as deadly as the original. And I wear a mask everywhere theres a lot of people. Never had Covid.

Had the two initial jabs and two boosters. I believe the second booster was in September.

You don't know that either. Plenty of people have mild cases who have had no vaccine. And sometimes people who have had it still get very ill or die.

Why someone would respond to me then block me, I have no idea.

who was it? must have me blocked too

Full Vax for me and my bf has been fully vaxxed and got evusheld

finally got my account back!

I had my fourth shot this morning. Thought I was doing alright on the side effects, but now I feel the edgyness taking over. This part sucks.
