I like a small few here am anti-covid vaccine. Now do I think the people getting are crazy, hell no. I was for my mom and in-laws getting it. They are over weight and unhealthy. They were the "target demographic" dying from it. My wife and I decided to risk it and not going to get it. We felt we were healthy enough to survive an attach. I have had covid twice. First time ran fever for a week and smelled smoke for a month. Second time didnt know I had it. Just so happened to have a doc appointment after getting over a sore throat. Had a spike in my blood work. Doc said it either meant I had covid or was pregnant. Well Im a guy so that ruled out one option.

I have only known 3 people to be severely affected by covid.
1. Older friend of the family. He wasnt the healthiest of people. He caught it before the vaccine was available. Unfortunately he died with/from covid.
2. Good friend of mine. 45 really out of shape. He was in the hospital at deaths door for 2 weeks before recovering. It shook him so bad that he, his wife and kids got the shot. They have not received boosters. They are all fine
3. My neighbor and his wife are in their 50s some what active/workout. They had friends get severely sick and decided to get the shot. 2 weeks after he went into the hospital and docs to his wife to prepare for him to not make it. They didnt know if the shot caused it or what happened. Luckily he was able to pull through but still suffers from after affects.

I dont have a problem with people getting the shot to help them stay safe. My problem is the government out right lying about it being a vaccine and it being nothing more than a flu shot. They are on TV saying those that get the shot will not get covid and that has been proven false. Where I am skeptical is it was new. We dont know the affects it will have. It should not be forced on people that want to risk the virus. That is where the problem is for me. For the government to force something on people with out knowing the risk is scary to me.

I respect your option to forgo the vaccine. You respectfully told your situation and I was with you until the last paragraph. So many false assertions. You had a couple of bouts with the COVID so you built the immunity naturally and that worked okay for you. Good. 👍

I honestly don’t remember anyone said that if you get the covid shot, you won’t get Covid.
However, we are conditioned to believe that something actually occurred when they actually didn’t when those things kept getting pounded into our heads.

My neighbor said that they said on TV that Covid vaccine would keep me from getting Covid. A couple of YouTube videos, a few Facebook posts, several twitter typists said that they said on TV Covid vaccine would keep me from getting Covid. A few news channels said that they said on the other channels Covid vaccine would keep me from getting Covid.

Me: they said on TV that Covid vaccine will keep me from getting Covid.

BIDEN: “You’re not going to get COVID if you have these vaccinations.” — town hall

This is just a quick search. I will do a better search tomorrow.
 
I love how they base "gov't lied about the vaccine not being able to covid" from one statement from Biden that was backtracked, corrected and admittedly a mistake mere hours after it was spoken. but for some reason when they post that, they never post the rest of it. lol.. that's selective hearing at its best.. lol.. but they sure make sure they mention Trump admin backtracking on his internal bleach and UV light statements.
I wonder if he can find any statements like that from anywhere like the CDC, etc..

So it went from no one said that to, yeah he's "just the President, that doesnt count." Again just a quick search while getting the kids ready for school.

This was from the head of the CDC, Dr. Rochelle Walensky.
“Our data from the CDC today suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don’t get sick,” Walensky told MSNBC's Rachel Maddow on Monday. “And that it’s not just in the clinical trials, it’s also in real-world data.”

I'm saying no one who is credible from the CDC and FDA stated that the vaccine would keep you from getting the virus. If they did, they were wrong and the agency would debunk or walk that back. Certainly no one there has said it in a couple of years at least.

Source? Actually disregard that.


I found this article with context that shows several of her quotes contradicting the CDC's own guidance. Each time, the CDC had to walk back or correct her statements. Some people mean well, but a basic and fundamental understanding of the history of vaccines would know that a vaccine doesn't necessarily keep you from getting a given disease in all cases. And as with any novel virus, there's a learning curve in how to prevent or mitigate spread and treat the disease based on severity and length of infection. There's nothing simple about epidemiology and anyone trying to boil it down to some simple solution is doing the public a disservice.

Not to be a stickler for words, but "suggests" is a lot different than factual.
And did you post the CDC also said this was not correct, pretty quickly?

I have to ask, do you have ANY vaccinations? are your children vaccinated?
The Gov't was never gonna FORCE anyone to get vaccinated. It may have made your life harder if they did mandate it, but ultimetly you would have had a choice.
But Words matter, but to some people they don't.
