I've received my 2 doses including the booster and I can say from my personal experience, the vaccine works. My unvaccinated brother that lives with me contracted the virus last month and ended up getting everyone in my house sick besides my mom and I. My mom and I are fully vaccinated and my other family members only had 2 of their shots besides my brother whom initially contracted it. My dad ended up getting really sick and is still recovering but I think this is pretty concrete evidence that the vaccine works if you're boosted. My mom and I never had any symptoms and after 5 days from exposure, still got a negative test. I got vaccinated fairly quickly and before the delta/omicron variant, I started living my life normally... going out without a mask, washing hands less frequently, I even forgot that COVID existed at some points and never contracted it either.
My brother's argument, and I'm sure many others have this same belief is that the vaccine was made for money. Robert Malone, the original inventor of the mRNA vaccine stated in a Joe Rogan
podcast that young adults should not take the vaccine and goes on spreading "misinformation" about the virus. All of the misinformation that he is spreading has been debunked yet my brother thinks the debunking is fake news. I can't really find any information that backs up Dr. Malone's claim so it's really hard to see his point. My brother (and Dr. Malone) believe that this is some corrupt way for the pharmaceutical companies to make $$$. He believes that doctors are in on it, any hospital, pharmacy, anyone in the healthcare related field is just part of the system that is "brain washed" into thinking that the vaccine is safe and effective because they get paid to tell their patients that. Now censorship is a real problem with modern technology and how easy it is for companies like Google, Microsoft, Twitter to filter out content that is displayed on the web. Twitter bans you if you spread COVID "misinformation", therefore that '
information' is censored. These claims are interesting but they're not backed up and every other source debunks it so his claims are not credible.
I honestly cannot find anyone with proper credentials, (scientists, doctors, phD students, etc.) that actually proves that the vaccine is dangerous with data and facts. Malone is a credible source since he created the mRNA vaccine but he doesn't have any facts to back up his claims. Maybe I'll change my mind if someone in this thread can help back up those claims.
America is corrupt, sure and I believe our healthcare system is very corrupt but this is a
worldwide pandemic. This shouldn't be left vs right; you're a Trump supporter if you're against the vaccine or you're a libtard if you're for the vaccine. This is just simply denying science that can be researched. Go to any doctor or healthcare professional anywhere in the world and they'll give you their best professional advice on the vaccine. There is plenty of information readily available about these vaccines online from credible sources. Why would the CDC and WHO recommend to get it if it was really that dangerous... The CDC and WHO were founded to protect the general public, not go against it...
There are also claims that the vaccine is dangerous and deadly... if that was true then why aren't people dropping like flies? My state has a 79% vaccination rate, how come those people haven't died yet? The FDA published the list of ingredients that are contained in each of the vaccinations, all available to the public and anyone can do their own research on whether or not any of these ingredients are dangerous. The side effects are just your immune systems' response to the vaccine as it is basically training your immune system to fight a safe version of the virus. The only side effect I really noticed was a slight headache that went away after a couple days and I really don't know anyone who's had a severe reaction to the vaccine or died.
I'm open to hear anyone's personal experience with the vaccine. Whether anyone has actually had a severe reaction to the vaccine or knows someone who has died from it because all of this "misinformation" is really making it hard to see both sides. I feel that my personal experience is pretty concrete evidence that the vaccine works, is safe and effective since I had a group in my house that was unvaccinated, group that had 2 doses and the group that had the booster, and we all had different outcomes. But I wouldn't want to go through what my dad had to go through last month or I wouldn't want to put anyone else in that position. Would you?
