I refused a flu shot at the VA Hospital earlier today. The woman looked at me like I was insane and she said "why in the world would you want to get the flu?". I said I no longer believe in vaccines because of Bill Gates and the democrats. She said that she hopes I'll have a heart to heart with my primary care doctor about this kind of mindset.
If the vaccine isn't 100% effective, get point is moot. The methods that a vaccine gives you immunity are the way or bodies develop immunity naturally. I can easily recover from a simple illness because I eat right and supplement. I highly doubt I haven't been exposed to the flu since H1N1 but I don't think I've ever actually had the flu since. I've gotten a cough a few times but nothing that I've sought medical attention for
The ways that a vaccine gives you immunity are almost the same. A vaccine typically (not this one) involves injecting you with dead virus that poses no risk of infection, and then your immune system consumes the foreign matter, produces antibodies, and those antibodies grant immunity. Getting the disease naturally does the same thing, but you get the disease first and have to fight it off. The disease gets to eat you for the entire time between when it first infects you and when you find the right antibody, making you sick.
Antivaxxers are retarded. Vaccines work.
THIS vaccine however is being rushed, is not being made by the normal vaccine standards or methods, and uses a different mechanism involving mRNA. It is NOT safe, from what I can tell. And that's ignoring whatever obvious bait thing is going on in the OP image.
I'm not antivax, I'm anti this vax. I don't see why I should spend any effort, time, or money for something that's not 100% effective and not protecting me from anything serious.
That's why I don't get the flu shot. I'm not worried about getting the flu and I'm certain I can build my own immunity/resistance. Isn't the flu shot only like 20% effective?

i never get the flu shot. and i generally dont get the flu either.
You don't have to be that specific. Just say they've destroyed all manner of trust this year and it's going to be quite a while before they regain it.
I understand your opinion but I want it very very specific from where the seeds of doubt were planted.
