The data shows the vaccines are incredibly safe. It's anti-vax and anti-scientific to suggest they aren't.

One doesn't have to go farther than this thread to see that anti-vax sentiments are largely based on misinformation about COVID-19 and the vaccines.

You and I are in agreement that the government lied about COVID-19, but those lies came from the former president when he attempted to downplay the pandemic for political reasons at the cost of lives.

Skydiving is incredibly safe, not everyone wants to jump out of a plane.

I'm sorry I can't hear your partisan bullshit over the crickets of Cumo killing thousands of peoples grand parents then covering it up.

Trump did not get on television like Fauci did and lie about masking or spend 6 months shouting the battle cry "Debunked" when addressing a Wuhan lab origin.

Skydiving doesn't make it less likely you'll contract an infectious disease. Skydiving doesn't make it less likely you'll suffer serious symptoms or death from a disease. Skydiving doesn't make it less likely you'll spread a potentially deadly disease to the people around you.

Your analogy is egregiously false.

Trump did not get on television like Fauci did and lie about masking or spend 6 months shouting the battle cry "Debunked" when addressing a Wuhan lab origin.
Fauci did not lie about masking. As I explained in a previous post, the science wasn't clear at the time that normal cloth masks were effective. We only knew at the time that medical grade masks were effective, and those needed to be preserved for medical professionals at the time. As our understanding changed, Fauci's advice changed.

We still don't have any evidence that the pandemic had a lab origin, albeit it's a possibility. There is no evidence the virus was human-made, and we in fact have genetic evidence that contradicts that claim.

If you want to talk about COVID-19 lies from the government, those are limited to claims from the former administration downplaying the pandemic, mask-shaming that occurred after it became clear that masks were effective, claims about hydroxychloroquine, claims about bleach, conspiracy theories about how it would disappear after the election, etc.[/QUOTE]

Surprisingly my healthcare provider didn't even push for the vaccine, instead I had to request to be on the list for the vaccination. It took a while to get it out to everyone that wanted it in my area, and to that end was able to get the vaccination. The lines were massively long when it arrived.
I still believe that people should have the freedom to choose if they want the vaccine or they don't want it. While the vaccine isn't approved yet by the FDA, hopefully that will change soon. I do recommend people to get the vaccine anyways because the unvaccinated seems to be getting hit hard from the Delta variant. Also the microchip, AFAIK does not currently exist in microscopic form. It should be visible by the naked eye and the needles would have to have be of bigger (or is it smaller?) gauge then what is used for the vaccination.

Injectable microchips are a reality though I do not believe the Covid vax contains one and neither does anyone other than a few handful of fringe individuals.

Microchip claims are used to ridicule people who are rightfully concerned about civil liberties and privacy when it comes to contact tracing and digital passports.

Not every meme, joke and hyperbolic statement was meant to be taken literally as an opportunity for a "Fact checker" to push a narrative.

As I was saying? Lmfao. You mad bro? Can't make this shit up, folks. It's just all right there in plain sight for all to see.

He seems more concerned about not being told what to do then the well being of other people. He wants to prove that he don't take orders from anyone more then caring about what's morally right. It's a self centered perspective that teenagers have that he should've grown out of that phase years ago. Like a rebellious teenager but a stupid one.

Proving that is more important to him then doing the smarter thing. Which is self damaging, damaging to others and stupid but at least he can selfishly say I don't take orders from anyone regardless if my choices are stupid and I look dumb.


Sample size is thousands of people now. With very low rates of people dying from the vaccine itself. To be anti covid vaccine and not want to take it is pretty stupid at this point now. But they would rather look like an idiot with their bad logic and try to convince themselves they are not, but everyone else sees them looking stupid regardless.

People in the anti-vax crowd were/are seriously pushing conspiracy nonsense about microchips in the vaccine, keys sticking to them because they're now magnetized, etc.

That's simply not true. You can't make fully functional microchips in this size let alone power them (any kind of wireless transmission requires lots of power). They would also clog the needle and very fine blood vessels. It's the dumbest conspiracy ever spread by conspiracy morons.

What exactly am I supposed to be trying again? Pointing out your obvious and severe anger issues? I don't need to try ANYthing again. I already DID, there was no TRY. You also did most all of the work for me. Thanks! Makes my life a little easier when someone makes a complete fool of themself all on their own. Have a wonderful day!!! :)

As opposed to voicing genuine concerns with facts behind them regarding... anything. It's really sad, honestly. Before coming to this thread, I figured that a lot of right wing folk were just ignorant to the facts, but talking with Jim and Bit fixed that misconception. They've both drowned in so much misinformation and propaganda that they've become blind, poison spewing parodies of themselves, and I'm beginning to think they represent a decent sampling of their peers. Thank the gods they're the clear minority!

I had a conversation with a friend's mother the other day, and like a lot of people who are hesitant to get the vaccine, it comes from a place of fear and ignorance, and both of these things are completely understandable. She talked about how she heard it changes your DNA, it contains harmful chemicals, etc., but she admitted she didn't know a lot about it.

The story ends with her getting her first dose that same day, but she also had a brother who died from COVID-19 last winter. Our conversation was the tipping point, but it wasn't the whole reason she got vaccinated.

I booked my 1st shot of Pfizer vaccine next week :)
AND EU has just PASSED The Green pass bill which you get this Green pass after u got 1st COVID vaccine shot, basically without this PASS, you are not allowed to get in any public buildings(gym, restaurants, mall.......), public transportation (train, bus, plane......).

I'm glad that Italy has finally made up this decision and joined among other EU members.

And what if I don't want to wear face daipers? Who's gonna make me?
Probably the places that require a mask, which will increase again as cases rise again.

Can't believe people are this contrarian. I question if they even care about themselves, let alone anyone else.

Pfft, oh yeah, I have the anger issues, meanwhile I've seen you being aggressive and sperging out in other posts. All comments you posted so far have been pretty much projection of yourself, and you try to say it's me. No it ain't bro. Get a life and a stress ball.

Well, in the scheme of things, I put the well being of myself and those of my friends and family first more than complete strangers, that's just natural. Not saying I wouldn't care if people were getting massacred by a psychopath or died from a collapsing building, but if a given situation where it's me or them, it's gonna be me, unless if friends of family are there, then it's them first, then me, then strangers. Forgive my selfish self preservation, but that's just how it is. If you put other strangers before you, good for you. And another thing, we don't have to sacrifice our god given rights to the government over some dumb virus just so people's feelings don't get hurt. I could care less, which is to say none at all, about the feelings of anyone really. I don't want others to physically get hurt, but fuck people's fee-fee's.

I have still yet to see anyone against vaccines post a single reliable source to back up their paranoia. The only thing they’ve convinced me to do is add more to my ignore list, I don’t need that kind of dangerous stupidity in my life.

And I am sure they are equally glad you're ignoring them as well.

Shame if they are, they are missing out on some occasional quality posts of mine, outside of calling out their dangerous ignorance. On that note
I've said little of anything criticizing the vaccine in of itself, my comments generally center on the hypocrisy I see in policy and behavior.

I don't put man made substances in my body period. I don't drink liquor, smoke and with rare exceptions I grow and harvest my own food. Everything that enters my body I can trace to the earth. I have never had a vaccination in my life and I wont be starting now
You most likely put a lot more “manmade” products into your body than you are willing to accept. Chances are high that each plant you are growing is made with a GMO seed, either from plants that were specifically bred to make better fruits, be more pest resistant, and so on. Most fruits and vegetables we eat are products of centuries of human intervention to make something better for humans to eat. There’s the added fact that unless you are buying all of your meat directly from farmers, you are most likely consuming manmade food coloring. I also have my doubts that you’ve never been vaccinated as chances are high that you did get vaccinated as a child. Most schools require some vaccinations. This also coupled with the likelihood that you are older than social media mass hysteria around vaccines. This isn’t to say it’s impossible but extremely unlikely that you haven’t received a single vaccination.

Bullshit. Just because there is a small fringe that believes this or memes it as a joke does not make it a wide spread belief.

It's more akin to someone photo bombing a protest with a unwelcome flag to make people look bad. "Magnetic" people has been a thing long before Covid. You commonly see this in Asia and South America and have for decades.

But keys aren't even magnetic. Maybe they're just sticky and need a shower.
