Yawn yawn, here we go again from this member.... lemme guess, you don't believe the sun is 93 million miles away from the earth unless you actually see a fukkin astronaut going up there with with a tape measure in his hand?
We have scientific evidence that the sun is approximately 93 million miles from the Earth (on average). @The Catboy's point was that we don't have scientific evidence that the vaccines are life-threatening.

Like has been mentioned before on previous threads, yet you somehow seem to miss it, how on this fukkin earth do you expect to actually SEE a 'credible source' posting said information on this, given the agenda the governments have taken, and the nature of the information?! Do you really expect, for example, in the obviously massively unlikely event that the vaccine is using dna from unborn aborted fetus, that the governments of the world will hold their hands up in the near future and say 'Well yeah, they do contain it, but never mind - oops a daisy!' - ?? - :lol:
This is unsubstantiated conspiracy theory nonsense. You're proposing a massive conspiracy and coverup that are irrational and unsupported by evidence.

Hmm...I love the people that elevate government officials to the level of 'mastermind'. As if these individuals in DC are somehow able to conduct global-level conspiracies far beyond the reaches of our imaginations. Schumer and McConnel, the brightest among us, devising intricate plans our peasant minds are not even capable of understanding. :lol:

These are the same people who believe in nonsense like mass voter fraud and secret government vampires. We aren’t dealing with people who are based in reality.

Then it should be real simple to say that.
I've been acknowledging the risk of side effects since the vaccines became available, so don't act like I haven't. However, that's not the same thing as saying the side effects are "potentially life threatening." By every objective measure, being unvaccinated is significantly more life threatening than getting vaccinated.

I'll take your post to be a concession.

Modern medicine is often life-saving, but I'm not surprised that you had to resort to arguing against medicine broadly in order to defend your boneheaded position against vaccines.
This crossed my mind, when they were making "Big Pharma" conspiracies. Wasn't expecting him to confirmed it, without me even saying anything. I guess anti-piller is next.

The sad thing is, there is a problem with healthcare, just not this "fake or too dangerous vaccine" nonsense they are talking about. Too bad they are most likely to vote against making healthcare cheaper and more accessible.

Side effects are potentially life threatening. I'm sorry that fact is inconvenient for you.

I haven't seen any evidence of anyone dying, or even having long-term side effects, from the mRNA vaccines, and even if you were to provide some evidence of these things, it wouldn't be any different than claiming seatbelts are potentially life threatening. The odds would be so low that remaining unvaccinated is what's "potentially life threatening." It isn't the other way around, even though it's inconvenient for your anti-vax position.

My mum was scared to death by all the media lies and was scared to death of covid couldn't wait to get the jabs, she didn't want to know when I told her of all the side effects, first jab made her ill for 4 days, second jab late afternoon, she woke next morning septicemia in her leg from foot to knee, it was swollen twice the size and burning hot it took 6 weeks of bed rest and multiple antibiotics to cure, she still would not even accept it might be vaccine related, then months later boosted time, again next day septicemia in her leg and also in her chest and neck, she went to the doctors and he even said it's the vaccine it kills your immune system, she now says no more.

There's no scientific evidence that the vaccines cause sepsis, and a doctor who says the vaccine "kills your immune system" doesn't know what they're talking about. Contracting COVID-19 can lead to viral sepsis, so the vaccine is highly recommended to reduce the risks of that. Being prone to viral or bacterial sepsis is also all the more reason to get vaccinated, since that's the kind of comorbidity that could lead to an increased risk of death from COVID-19.

Covid-19 will be the exact same as the flu.
I mean, I'm not an expert... but regardless of how much we take care of ourselves, we will get it eventually at some point of our lives.
And then, you'll be able to say: "It's just another flu"
It's expected that it will become endemic.

That doesn't mean the same as "it's just another flu", it's still highly contagious.

All the restrictions, vaccines etc aren't to prevent us all catching it. The point is to make sure all the police, teachers, nurses, doctors etc don't catch it at the same time.

Well... yeah. I mean, it's obvious.
And I personally believe this year will happen, that is, Covid being Endemic,
The virus is mutating rapidly.

Unless something terrible happens like, a mutation that reverses back to being super deadly, but that'd be us (humans) having awfully terrible luck.

Also... all of this could be already endemic if people stopped fucking traveling. The guy that brought Omicron to my country was a stupid fucking South African that came for "Business".
And personally interned himself to a Covid facility.
Now that I think of it, can we blame the rich people for all this mess? I mean, they were the ones flying from place to place infecting everyone.

Omicron is so contagious that it probably won't become endemic until it's literally everywhere.

Yes, I caught Covid Omicron and currently sick since Wednesday night, started with post nasal drip and mild sore throat, progressed fatigue, mild cough and moderate sore throat on Thursday morning, bad cough and severe sore throat on Friday and Saturday and cough started to subsided on Sunday but still have sore throat and congestion.

My experience with Covid Omicron is very, very, very bad colds, alternating with bronchitis then went back to bad colds after cough subsided.

I'm fully vaccinated with booster last October.

I believe that I got Covid at eye hospital or allergy department at other hospital on last Monday, also of course, I wear mask but still caught Omicron.

Except them, of course. They are the only ones that out mastermind the masterminds.

Most people who die from COVID-19 are elderly and/or have other comorbidities like high blood pressure, cancer, etc. That has nothing to do with the fact that the vast majority of people who die from COVID-19 in the United States are unvaccinated.
Once again, you are totally and completely right. I mean, the information about covid deaths before because of comorbidities was not blocked by the medical professionals and the media for the past 2 years, as they have always been transparent from day one and have not called out people who have said so "conspiracy theorists" in order to silence them. That has never happened. As for the unvaccinated, I don't know why they still won't get the jab, I mean, what's not to trust from these people? Especially from someone like Dr.Fauci, a man who I would trust me life to.

Can you actually post a source showing that the side effects are life-threatening?
Nope, because there is absolutely no side-effects on any of the vaccines at all. So shut up and shoot up!

The Epoch Times and YouTube are not trustworthy sources. Both are known for spreading misinformation. This is coupled with the fact that I’ve acknowledged that the vaccines have side-effects but none have been reported to be “life-threatening.” It’s worth noting that you didn’t even provide sources to back up the claim that they are life-threatening.

Well it's a good thing to see you're a very reasonable person that doesn't pick and choose their sources based on what they "feel" like is a good source or not, so thanks for understanding!

There is a significant risk of side effects, but they are usually mild, and the odds of them being life-threatening are vanishingly small (if not zero). Nobody hid this information either.

I suggest you do some research before attempting to make sarcastic quips.
