If you don’t have a health reason to not take a vaccine, why would you not take it?

Because, regardless of what anyone says, there is no long term data on the safety of this particular mRNA vaccine because it was approved under emergency authorization and is a completely new form of vaccine type. That coupled with all the reports of people experiencing heart palpitations, irregular periods, and other severe symptoms is cause to believe they may not be as safe as we are being told. Combine that with theories that the vaccinated could suffer from Antibody-dependent enhancement and you are really gambling with your health over a virus with a 99.6% survival rate for most people. Not to mention there have been something like 12,000 fatalities in the VAERS database attributed to this vaccine... more than deaths from all vaccines over the past 20 years combined. You're better off taking supplements, exercising, and keeping your body healthy rather than freaking out because the TV told you to.


This is from Moderna's own site - The Moderna COVID‑19 Vaccine is an unapproved vaccine that may prevent COVID‑19. There is no FDA‑approved vaccine to prevent COVID‑19. (https://www.modernatx.com/covid19vaccine-eua/recipients/moderna-vaccine)

Mrna vaccines have been used for almost 20 years in animals and have eliminated 2 other corona viruses and 3 deadly diseases. How ever you are correct this is the human trial that is required so we didnt lose half the population on the planet again. But hey you can keep taking your vitamins and pretending ita gonna all be ok. Just do it at home where no one has to deal with you.

Most of the animals in those clinical trials later developed auto-immune issues amongst other things that significantly decreased their lifespan.

They did not, and that's why they are widely used. I feel you're going to to drop this argument when I tell you that, while similar, the technology behind COVID vaccines is not exactly the same as veterinary variants. Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use virus-like-particles (VLP), which have already been used in fully approved vaccines against HPV and Hepatitis B.

False

More than 346 million doses of COVID-19 vaccines were administered in the United States from December 14, 2020, through August 2, 2021. During this time, VAERS received 6,490 reports of death (0.0019%) among people who received a COVID-19 vaccine. FDA requires healthcare providers to report any death after COVID-19 vaccination to VAERS, even if it’s unclear whether the vaccine was the cause. https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/adverse-events.html

6,490 deaths, that’s 0.0019% of vaccinated individuals. And the vaccine may not even be the causes of all those deaths when you have a sample size that large.

The virus is in the same family of viruses as the cold and the flu.

That's not true. Covid-19 is in the coronaviridae family while the flu is in the orthomyxoviridae family and the most common strain for the common cold is in the picornaviridae family.

There are multiple prominent doctors and researchers voicing concern

Then you proceed to not name nor cite any of them.

I have a work colleague in hospital on life support after his lungs filled with fluid less than 24hrs after his 2nd jab. Won’t see that on the news though! Guy was perfectly healthy until he had his 2nd dose of the vaccine!

u/EmperorGeek Aug 07 '21

Interesting. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines consist of a DNA snippet that is wrapped in lipid molecules. The sniper represents the spike proteins on the virus. The lipid wrapper is why it has to be stored in deep freezers.

It is true that very rare adverse cases occur, they occur with ANYTHING that we introduce to our bodies. But if we lived our lives based on the worst case scenarios, we would never get anything done.

Cases like your friend are not reported in the news because they are 1 in 10,000,000 and not worth reporting in public news.

I promise you, those cases ARE tracked by Medical Professionals.

u/vic06 Aug 08 '21

Your coworker's embolism was not caused by the vaccine. The Pfizer vaccine could not trigger the rare thrombosis that could develop pulmonary embolism. That was linked exclusively to the Astrazeneca and J&J vaccines, and women in particular.

https://healthcare.utah.edu/healthfeed/postings/2021/07/blood-clotting-covid19.php

There is a plausible causal relationship between J&J/Janssen COVID-19 Vaccine and a rare and serious adverse event—blood clots with low platelets (thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome, or TTS). However, after reviewing all available safety data, CDC and FDA recommend use of this vaccine resume in the United States given that the known and potential benefits outweigh the known and potential risks.

This adverse event is rare, occurring at a rate of about 7 per 1 million vaccinated women between 18 and 49 years old. For women 50 years and older and men of all ages, this adverse event is even more rare.

He hasn’t got an embolism, he developed a huge fluid build up in his chest less than 24hrs after his second jab and was rushed to hospital. Currently no one is updating any of us with his situation, it’s all being kept quiet. I’m sorry but you can all have blind faith in these vaccines but not all of us are like that.

I do not trust them and would rather not put unnecessary drugs inside my body. Saying that though I will have the vaccine within the next month and this is to protect my livelihood because its clear now there are too many hysterical weirdos out there who will never give up until every unvaccinated person is unemployed and living in poverty due of their choice not to have it. I’ve had covid twice and barely a cough each time, had worse hangovers to be honest.

If he does end up on the news, they'll just say he died from the latest super deadly strain that you'll need a booster shot for.

You either believe in human rights or you don’t. You can’t just throw them out the window for a largely minor illness. Once they’re gone they’re gone and we won’t be getting them back.

u/Paul2777 Aug 07 '21

Not sure where in the world you’re from but I believe in something called freedom of choice! Let me explain. I literally have the tail end of a covid infection right now, barely a cough and a slightly high temperature, had worse hang overs to be honest and I haven’t had the vaccine.

I have a friend at work who is currently on life support because after having his second jab last week he had a very bad reaction and his chest filled with fluid putting pressure on his vital organs. May be related to the vaccine
 may not, but you won’t see it in the news I know that much! 😂

I am not anti vaccine
 I will probably have it eventually but I would appreciate having the choice rather than being forced into it through fear of poverty đŸ‘đŸ»

u/EmperorGeek Aug 07 '21

Where does that attitude stop?

Is it OK for someone to get sloppy drunk and drive their car through town at high speed?

It’s a matter of personal choice, as you say.

The problem with your point of view is it doesn’t take into account your impact on people you encounter.

Your freedom of choice cannot infringe on someone else’s freedom of choice.

u/Sea-Hornet-9140 Aug 07 '21

Remember when Trump was president and started operation warp speed, and everyone said they would never get a vaccine that was rushed so recklessly? My how that tune has changed.

Forced medication is also perhaps the biggest red line to cross. What's next, forced mental health medication to make sure there are less shootings?

u/EmperorGeek Aug 07 '21

I’m not clear what your point is.

Seems to me, the same people that complained about “rushed” vaccines then are the same people crying about “personal choice” today.

1

u/Sea-Hornet-9140 Aug 07 '21

No it's the complete opposite - everyone anti-Trump was anti vaccine, because he was rushing them (the old 'pro choice crowd). Now, everyone anti-Trump is pro vaccine even though they are still rushed and still from Trump's Warp Speed project. You also see a lot of the opposite where Trump supporters were pro Vaccine then switched when Biden came in (your new 'pro choice' crowd).

I really wish people would stop and think a bit more. You see this sort of flipping all over the world on all sorts of issues, like refugees going into Europe being all about inalienable human rights, until now because they are coming through Belarus so fuck 'em. The global population has seemingly been successfully divided along political lines.

u/EmperorGeek Aug 07 '21

“Trump” had nothing nothing to do with vaccine development other than allowing the funding for it to pass. That shit tried to deny that COVID-19 was a problem. He wanted to leave people on their cruise ship so “our numbers won’t go up”. How shallow can a human being be?

I remember that there was some concern with his political appointees in various departments potentially getting in the way of straight scientific research and trying to push odd ball treatments (Hydroxychloroquine anyone) or him suggesting UV lights be used “in the body, somehow”. “I told my people to Slow down testing so there won’t be as many cases”.

Trump actually got in the way more than he helped the whole process.

But he DOES deserve some credit for letting the process get started. Not that he could have actually prevented it.

u/charlesfire Aug 08 '21

I literally never heard of people being anti-vax because of them not liking Trump.

u/Sea-Hornet-9140 Aug 08 '21

Then you literally never talked to any anti-Trump people about the Covid vaccine while he was president.

u/Paul2777 Aug 07 '21

We have laws to stop people driving into crowds last time I checked. If the people I encounter are so bothered about covid then its their decision to protect themselves with a vaccine.

u/EmperorGeek Aug 07 '21

So should we have law requiring vaccinations? Oh wait, we already DO! You can’t send a child to school without them!

u/Paul2777 Aug 07 '21

In what country is that law?

u/charlesfire Aug 08 '21

So you think we should have laws preventing people going in public spaces when they aren't vaccinated?

u/Paul2777 Aug 08 '21

Nah I think unvaccinated people like myself should be able to go anywhere

u/charlesfire Aug 08 '21

Then you're being inconsistent with what you just said. You literally said that limiting people's freedom of driving drunk is ok because we have laws against that is ok, but limiting people's freedom of spreading a deadly disease by making a laws isn't ok.

2

u/LogicAnswers Aug 08 '21

limiting people's freedom of spreading a deadly disease by making a laws isn't ok

But you are not limiting the spread with the vaccine.

Already proven, already publicly admitted.

So, like I told you in previous posts, a vaccine passport is literally a free pass to spread covid at will.

Ideas of a mad man.

u/Paul2777 Aug 08 '21

I’m saying you can’t compare the two things. Drink driving is completely different, someone has to actively drink and put themselves into a dangerous position and there are laws against it. Going to a public space when you’re unvaccinated puts no one in danger because its a 99.7% survivable virus and if anyone there is so terrified of covid or is either vulnerable or old then they have the option of getting themselves vaccinated. I’m not anti-vaccination, I’m anti forced vaccination and coming out with crap like its the same as drink driving is just another way to try and shame people into it. There are people out there who legitimately can’t have the vaccine for multiple reasons. Should they live like hermits and never be allowed to leave the house?

u/Paul2777 Aug 07 '21

.. What for though? Going abroad or to public places and work etc?

u/Hifen Aug 07 '21

I mean, there are no simple answers. It needs to be justified, people always pull out the "slippery slope" argument, but we're able to do a pretty good job as a society doing case by case sceneriors.

An employer has no buisiness mandating vaccines or requiring proof if they are capable of having the option for employees working from home for example.

Travel, hospitals, retirement homes... places that are high risk or could cause inter-regional spread would probably need it. Possibly places like Gyms which would allow it to spread more easily. Dentists etc.

Businesses should be able to ask for it freely from customers though. If I open a private hair salon, and I shouldn't be forced to cut hair for someone unvaccinated if it makes me feel unsafe.

I don't think anyone is adocating for checkpoints.

u/Paul2777 Aug 07 '21

I honestly don’t think you know how vaccines work. I don’t claim to be an expert but the vaccine protects the vaccinated person. Why on Earth would a vaccinated hair dresser be bothered whether or not a customer is vaccinated? They worried about catching covid or something? F*ck me I’m literally sitting here with covid and I’ve had worse hangovers. It’s a very minor illness, rather have the flu jab to be honest that’s hit me far worse than this. Saying that though if I was old or vulnerable I would’ve been vaccinated
 like my parents have but again it should be a choice and not a requirement for any work.

I mean I knew enough when I got my immunology undergrad.

I don’t claim to be an expert but the vaccine

Clearly, based on your following comment.

vaccine protects the vaccinated person.

It protects both the vaccinated individual and those they interact with.

It’s a very minor illness

It's not by any margin, a minor illness.

it should be a choice

And private businesses should hace the choice on who to serve when there's an impact to their health.
