I look at each vaccine carefully. I measure what disease they are preventing. If it's not extremely harmful and easily communicable, I don't take vaccines for it. If the vaccine isn't very effective, I won't take it. If it's not required for immigrants, I won't take it (what's the point?)

I'll never get vaccinations for HPV for my kids. If they want to play Russian Roulette with extra-marital sexual relations, they can bear the burden of their very bad decision.

I've never taken the flu vaccine. They don't seem to do anything for anyone.

Well said. I never get the flu vaccine either. It's not particularly effective. I can't imagine taking a vaccine rushed to market like the Covid-19 vaccine will be.

I like vaccines and even sought them out in the past in a ‘just in case’ way, but there’s no way in hell I’m going get any vaccine now if it’s mandatory. If the benefit and value is there, it wouldn’t need to be mandatory.

I’ve never gotten a flu vaccine in my life, either, even when offered and already at a doctor. If it’s only got a 50:50 chance of doing anything, what’s the point? Everybody I know that gets them religiously still gets the flu every year. I’ve gotten like one flu in my entire life. My lack of vaccine’s been more effective than the actual vaccines at preventing the flu.

After all this, I don’t even know if I’d trust a vaccine were they to make it. It’s not like the lockdown is actually over health reasons or real data. Why would a vaccine be on the up and up?

Vaccine science is wildly bad and driven by money anyway, and people don't even realize it.

I got the flu shot once, when my wife was pregnant with our youngest. Felt awful for almost 2 weeks. Never got it since and haven't ever gotten the flu in 20 years. To be fair, my immune system is pretty robust. I might get sick once each year.

I refused to let my kids get the HPV vaccine. To me it wasn't vetted enough at the time and there were too many instances of bad side effects.

I'll NEVER take a Chinaman Flu vaccine. I won't take any vaccines going forward either. Too much fuckery afoot. I'll claim my body my choice and some bullshit about HIIPA.

Same here, I took the flu shot one year and I got sick. All other years I didn't take it I literally never got more than a runny nose.

This is a known phenomenon. Vaccines reduce your immunity to other infectious diseases.

Take some Zinc suppliments and you'll never get sick again. :D

2
ShalomRPh 2 points ago +2 / -0

Never taste anything again either... I had the zinc with the hydroxychloroquine and it leaves the most awful taste in your mouth.

That being said, I'm not getting immunized against this either; had it already, don't need it.

My kids are immunized for all the common illnesses, but not HPV, and they won't be getting this one either: if they didn't catch it from me or my wife, after being quarantined with her for 2 weeks and in close contact with me before and after my hospitalization, they won't get it from anyone else either.

Edit: I've never had a flu shot in my life either. I'm licensed to give them if my patients want them, but I'm not interested for myself.

2
Hivetyrant36 2 points ago +2 / -0

The side effect is not from zinc, or at least, not a zinc supplement. 25mg a day is not going to do anything to you.

ShalomRPh 2 points ago +2 / -0

Yah but I was taking 220 mg. (50mg elemental Zn.)

Daily recommended for men is 11mg, and for women is 8mg for zinc.

General malaise - probably a generic virus or cold. Never anything I would consider the flu.

chicken pox as a kid leads to lowered risk of a variety of cancers as an adult....shit they dont tell people about those benign childhood infections (measles, mumps, rubella, oh my!!)

oxygen 3 points ago +3 / -0

They're trying to give a chickenpox vaccine now too, even though it is usually harmless as a child and insures you won't get it as an adult when it can be more dangerous. Vaccines are all about money. Look up the vaccine payout fund in the US. Vaccine companies are shielded from liability. Instead, it is you, the taxpayer, who pays for damages.

They aren't getting the same vaccine. The ones they give us are filled with poisons that have nothing to do with the vaccines purpose.

I'm not an anti-vaxxer but you know what Bill Gates successfully raised awareness of? Being microchipped without my knowledge or consent via vaccine.

Congratulations Gates...I no longer trust vaccines

I clicked it but I know it will be law to take it. You will get a letter that will tell you to be a certain place to get it. If you don't turn up fines will be handed out. If you don't pay the fine and still don't go police will be sent around to your house.

They will drag you to the hospital. Maybe put you under. Same for your family.

You get the vaccine.

People on Twitter will clap and praise the brave policemen and women for endangering their lives to make sure you get the vaccine. Though vaccines will probably be given at schools for children.

But tbh I can see a general law being put into force for vaccines of all types. Again with fines and or jail time.

The bodies IMMUNE system provides immunisation.

That's literally how vaccines work. There's dead parts of the viruses in the vaccine, your body fights off the dead virus corpses and remembers it through cell memory. Then when you get the virus for real your body is like "Oh yeah I remember this". Your body IS providing the immunization, through the VACCINES.

why? if everyone can't spread it via symptoms like sneezing because it's so mild due to 90% of the people being immune then herd immunity is working no? I honestly can't believe how many anti vaxxers I know in real life.

So you say. Tell The people living on the farm who Jenner observed before vaccines were given to individuals.

2
mrskirksey 2 points ago +3 / -1

herd immunity actually refers to when a population contracts an infection (a wild virus) naturally and becomes immune, with lifelong immunity. Big pharma has hijacked the term to apply to their vaccines, but technically that is inaccurate

You know Tom Clancey's Rainbow Six, as in the game?

It was a novel first. I read it in 9th grade, I think. It's about eco-terrorists releasing a virus to cause worldwide panic, then releasing the vaccine to deal with it -- only the vaccine really just finishes the survivors off.

Just randomly recollecting...

I'm allergic to some kind of ingredient in vaccines and the TB/PPD test. The one time I had a flu shot , my arm swelled like a balloon and then I got the flu that year anyway. Plus the Bill Gates thing. So double fuck that shit. No way.

You certainly are a negative and cynical SOB aren't you?

You don't want to be forced to take a covid vaccine. But you do want to force others to give you free or subsidized medical care if you get sick with covid. That's some fucked up sense of entitlement you guys have.

If you don't want other people to tell you what to do, don't tell other people what to do.

That's fine. As long as you don't expect them to inject cash into you either. You don't get to enjoy all of the privileges of freedom without responsibility.

Anybody should be able to opt out of vaccines as long as they also opt out of health insurance coverage for the disease the vaccine protects against.

16
Oskar 16 points ago +16 / -0

You don't get the privileges of freedom at all. You already have them. Our law forbids removing those privileges except under very strict circumstances, and being vaccinated by the Gates Foundation isn't among them.

You should have the freedom to do whatever the fuck you want unless it hurts or places a burden other people.

If a covid vaccine has been shown to be safe and effective, you alone should bear the responsibility for the consequences of your choice of not taking that vaccine. Not someone else.

Most people who had CV-19 were asymptomatic. It is less virulent than the flu virus. This means in most cases insurance cost = zero. Not only that with insurance deductibles as high as they are thanks to obamacare, even if there were some costs incurred due to CV-19, they would be lost in the noise.

Deplorable_Yankee 3 points ago +3 / -0

Freedom is granted in the constitution, not through some mandatory vaccine. What the fuck are you talking about personal responsibility. That literally has nothing to do with our God given freedoms. The government is not responsible for issuing us freedoms. They are to uphold them.

-7
Staatssicherheit -7 points ago +1 / -8

Personal responsibility to accept the consequences of not getting the vaccine. If you get sick with the disease that the vaccine was made to prevent, you don't get to make other people clean up the results of your choice.

I'm advocating freedom the people who don't want to get the vaccine. I'm also advocating freedom for the people who provide the resulting medical care. What the fuck do you not understand?

Dude, this conversation is done. You will not shame me into thinking I am hurting others by not making billionaires more money by sticking a needle full of poison in my arm every year. I have been working since day fucking one in a plant with people all around me and I am still healthy. The people that died from covid would have most likely died from the regular flu as well. Some would have died from something else just due to age Morbidly obese, pre-existing condition, compromised immune systems and old age are the biggest factors. This whole thing got massively politicized. 79k people died from influenza in 2018-2019 and nobody batted an eye. A vaccine is not a guarantee you do not get sick. Lastly, treatments can work too in an overwhelming majority of cases. In case you have not noticed, the mortality rate of this crap is just above the flu based upon antibody testing.

Preach somewhere else because the same motherfucker eho gives money to research infectious diseases in bats is the one pushing for all out vaccination. No fucking thanks. Bill Gates is not a good person and his motives are not to help mankind.
