She wanted to come inside to see some work I had done, and took a surgical mask out of her pocket. I told her I'm not worried about it and that I'm not going to wear one. She puts the mask back in her pocket and says she's been vaccinated anyway, because she's not a science denier. I replied I'm not one either and it's why I don't wear them... because science proves those masks don't work. Several seconds of awkward silence ensue, before I had to manually reboot her by asking about her family.

The masks literally have disclaimers on the package that say they don't work.

THIS. How come there can't be any nuance. Masking is flat out not supported by the literature. The only human studies suggest they don't work.

The vaccine DOES work and is safe and awesome and effective. But also 99.8%+ people are just fine when they get COVID anyway and most people don't really need it.

How come all this can't be true? Cuz it is.

I feel like these ppl on tdw that don’t understand that this “vaccine” is risky (a) Have already taken it (b) have family that have taken it.

I have family that have taken it and I said my peace months and months ago about it. They said they wouldn’t be the first to get it but they got it within the first month or two of it being available.

Why would anyone step in the place of actual guinea pigs for big pharma?

I don’t get is why ppl dont have the common sense to wait a year at least and see how the vaccinated ppl hold up for this next flu season. That’s the real tests since the greatest risk is having cytokine storm from a common cold.

Because they think that the bullshit will end once they take the shot.

I think the adverse events are a misconception. All that stuff was the design of the vaccine. And the younger and healthier you are, the more it fucks you up (the bigger the inflammatory response), because your body mounts a larger immune response. The Johnson and Johnson trial showed exactly that in their recent NEJM study. So if you're under 50, do you really need it, or rather is it worth getting and feeling awful? Not necessarily. But it will drive cases down fast.

I wouldn't call death an adverse event of misconception. Yes death is listed as one of several horrible symptoms listed in the excel file. Also outside of people 80+ or other serious health conditions no one should be getting this vaccine. Since in every other group the human immune system is more effective.

Also: the vaccine is 95% effective, but it doesn't stop a person from 1) catching covid and 2) spreading covid. (Uh, what?) The vaccine apparently identifies as a cold pill, and "lessens symptoms."

So keep wearing your masks!

It’s bette r than 95%. The second anybody gets a vaccine, there is zero point of them wearing a mask ever again.
