I’d say I wish most of this thread got long covid, but I’m starting to think that’s why they say such stupid shit in the first place.
 
Can I ask how you're comparing your vaccinated response to Covid with the unvaccinated response that you never had?

It's like saying fire departments are useless because one person died in a fire recently, because you cannot see the alternate universe where there wasnt a fire department and 50 people died in the same fire.

If only there was some way to compare unvaccinated and vaccinated responses, in some sort of study. Sadly we only have data for one person who can see alternate universes and says it didnt do anything for them
Another good example is well, why are we seeing measles outbreaks again after decades of containment?

Well, they weren't the ones drinking bleach and injecting themselves with horse dewormer, so they must be the smart ones.

again, I never said I'm an anti-vaxxer. if I had to do it all over again, without knowing, I would get the shot still.
 
I got vaccinated, felt fine the next day then I went to a job site and threw up in the garbage and was sent home. Still got paid for my time though. Later on I got covid. Vaccine does not work lol.
Please explain to the room how you believe a vaccine is meant to work. I'll get my popcorn.
 
As I see it, a lot of people, that should be native speakers, don't understand that the word immunity can have different meaning depending on the field it is used in. Kind of like the word "root" will have a different in meaning depending if you ask a botanist, a dentist, a mathematician, or someone in IT.

Even though it doesn't work? Not sure what you're actually trying to say, unless the "without knowing" is to say you would make the same choice given the same information. But I don't think that's it, since that doesn't mean anything.
 
i got the vaccine as soon as possible. worked in a hospital all throughout, my colleagues who waited or denied it got sick, i didnt.
i always wore a mask, always was a good boy, got OCD about disinfecting my hands and always watching what i touch... but other than that i was fine.
some things are worth rebelling over, some others are not.
being misled by itself is dangerous enough, not realizing WHEN someone is trying to mislead you is far more dangerous.
If you cant keep yourself safe from either you are anybodys puppet at their discretion.

They aren’t even vaccines because they literally give you a tiny bit of what they are trying to prevent, you don’t actually get rid of it, I understand the point of doing it this way because the flu mutates each year so a vaccine wouldn’t work but it’s still stupid regardless.
You don't understand how vaccination works, and that's concerning. I am sorry the education system and your parents have failed you

anyways I'm not anti-vaxx I think it works the majority of the time. maybe it made my symptoms lesser? I mean I didn't die from it anyways.
 
Vaccine works as I never got COVID but still had to go through those godawful COVID tests that made my nose hurt for days. So a less uncomfortable test for the next pandemic would be great.

I don't really want to get too involved here, but I know a bunch of friends and adults that didn't get COVID and didn't have the jab. A person I know had the vaccine and had bad side affects for a couple years, nausea, migraines, etc
