PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE GET THE COVID SHOT.

Not nearly as stupid as yours.


No, the vaccine doesn't prevent the virus 100%.

The vaccine: (1) reduces your likelihood of getting the virus, and (2) reduces the severity of the disease if you do get the virus.

Think of it as like a seatbelt.

If you're driving, and not wearing a seatbelt, and you have to swerve to avoid hitting something, the centrifugal force may push you away from the driver's seat, may force you to grip the wheel and swerve even more, and / or may cause a worse accident than what may have happened if you had hit the object you swerved to avoid.

So wearing a seatbelt might help prevent some accidents.

But more importantly, if you are involved in an accident, wearing your seatbelt significantly reduces your injury, and your chances of dying.

Are you going to get into an accident every time you drive? No. Of course not. That's silly. So, does that mean you don't have to wear your seatbelt every time you drive? Well, that would be stupid, because you never know when you might be involved in an accident.

Are there cases where not wearing a seatbelt might be better? There are a very, very few cases where a person is hurt worse because they were trapped by their seatbelt (i.e. water accidents), but it has been shown repeatedly that these are FAR outnumbered, by the thousands, compared to the number of people who are saved -- significantly -- by the use of seatbelts.

If you do wear a seatbelt, does that mean that you are invincible, and that no one has ever died while wearing a seatbelt? Of course not. Some accidents are so bad that, even with a seatbelt, some of the people involved have died. But again, the science is undeniable. Seatbelts save lives, period. There's no doubt.

People wearing their seatbelts can walk away from an accident that would kill someone who wasn't wearing a seatbelt.

The same is true for the vaccine.

I was vaccinated last May. After my second dose, I felt some mild flu symptoms, as many others have reported, the 1st day after the shot. I was fine the 2nd day. My parents (who are in their 70s) were vaccinated, but my husband chose not to be vaccinated.

About 2 months ago, my husband first felt what he thought was a head-cold. Runny nose, stuffy head, very low-grade fever (under 100). None of the typical covid symptoms -- no cough, no shortness of breath, no loss of smell or taste. Then my son and I both got it, then my parents. My mom got tested and it came back positive, so I also tested. By the time I got the test, I felt no symptoms. My fever was gone, I had no stuffy head or runny nose. Same with my son -- his fever only lasted 1/2 day, and he had no other symptoms. My dad never experienced any symptoms. But all of us tested positive.

My husband was in bed for 3 weeks.

He is otherwise a healthy man. But the COVID kicked his butt. Because he wasn't vaccinated.

And it could have been worse. He could have died.

So yes. I'm very glad I was vaccinated, and will get a booster.


Yes. I'm safe from serious illness.


See above. Any of us could have gotten more seriously ill. Or, just as a person wearing a seat-belt can still be killed in a bad accident by someone who isn't wearing their seatbelt, swerves to miss a dog who runs into the road, and lost control of the car, I, or anyone in my family, may be killed, even if we're vaccinated.

And because my husband is an idiot, he could have died.

And there are people who can't be vaccinated for various reasons, and they are at risk.

So yes, you not getting vaccinated puts me and my loved ones at serious risk. You are literally killing people.

And you seem okay with that, which makes you very much NOT in line with what Jesus taught.

Dozens. I lost count around 15. All of them were unvaccinated. Most of them before there was a vaccine available, although one was more recent, and simply didn't get the vaccine, because like you they thought they were "too good." Well, now they're good and dead.

Think of it as like a seatbelt.

The left lies so easily it’s scary.

Still waiting for a reputable, peer-reviewed, scientific study.

All you've posted is highly biased tabloid opinion pieces.

Not my job to do your research, but I will call you out for any falsehood as I see fit.

looks like germany is going to begin to slowly push the unvaxxed out of public spaces, and do forced injections next year.

congratulations . hope you are proud of your country and it's government.

Not everthing is right.

In this case, I am! Not everthing is right.
But to talk the virus small and ignore it, is out of reality.
But this has nothing to do with rational thinking.
You believe the vaccine is bad, then it has to be bad. What to do?

Except that during the fascism of the early 20th century, they were trying to kill people, and now they're trying to prevent people from being killed.

You think it's okay to have the freedom to kill someone else.

I happen to disagree.

For people who normally claim to be "pro-life," even if that means limiting the rights of certain people (women), I'm surprised to find so many Christians claiming that one individual's freedom is more important than another individual's right to live.

Y'all are fine telling women they have to sacrifice 9 months of their lives to allow babies the right to be born. (And most of us Christian women are happy to do so!) But you won't take a little, painless jab in the arm, whose side effects last 12-24 hours, to save all of your friends and family?

Hypocrite much?

A
So. How many people do you know who died from Covid?

That's a temporary fix. But, yeah. I'd do that first. Idaho and Florida will be the last free zones.

Curious....

I'm assuming you think it's fine for women to get abortions, as long as they pay for it, then?

After all, you have no problem risking other people's lives, and are willing to pay a fine rather than take a jab to prevent it. How is that different than women willing to pay for an abortion?
