No, its political because you are spouting the same tired bullshit that every far-right idiot with a microphone and Patreon account has been spouting for months now.
BTW, you are an anti-vaxxer. Just be a man and own it.
To be clear, there are side effects. But the common ones are very mild. More severe adverse reactions are extremely rare, to the point that they’re sometimes occurring at lower rates than among the general population. The allergic reaction thing is so rare that it’s much less common than death from COVID among the whole population (ie. including people who haven’t even had COVID compared only to people who’ve been vaccinated).
So maybe it would be more more accurate to say that downsides to the vaccine are either not serious or vanishingly unlikely? The point is that whatever downsides there are are so negligible that they’re hardly worth thinking about if you’re in a group for which the CDC recommends vaccination. Meanwhile, you’re at least going to face more of a hassle if you’re not vaccinated.
It’s very odd. Most of these folks wouldn’t think twice about taking over the counter medications, and might not even be bothered by self-medicating with all kinds of things. They’d never question being prescribed a Z-pack for an infection. But there’s something about this particular virus that’s causing some people to be skeptical of everything. That’s not to mention the people who are weird about all vaccines. I sort of wonder if there isn’t something that scares them about the specific method of delivering the vaccine through an injection.
The first part of the last paragraph is wrong. None of the currently authorized vaccines contain any of the virus. They all work by instructing cells to attack the covid virus. The older kinds of vaccines contained dead or attenuated virus, which was potentially more dangerous.
The two vaccines we current have are mRNA and viral vector, both of which are relatively new: https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/different-vaccines/how-they-work.html#:~:text=COVID-19 vaccines help,to get the illness.
I have no words…
Im vaccinated. Was just making a point of how bad things can happen from group think and herd mentality. It should be a personal choice especially given the fact the vaccines arent approved yet. If people are worried they should get vaccinated, if not let them decide. Either your vaccination works or it doesn't. Time to trust the science and get moving on with life
Lol public health. A country that has fast food restaurants on every corner and sells cigarettes to 18 year old kids. The irony
Little? Besides the fact that I could probably bench you, why wouldn't anyone be mad at people that demonize a vaccine because Tucker told them to?
Lol who is tucker? As i pointed out earlier ive been vaccinated for a while. I just dont live my life telling others to follow in my foot steps. I believe its a personal choice and I also trust the science maybe you should too
The science would tell you that getting ahold of the worst pandemic in 100 years requires an all hands on deck approach. That doesn't work if it's "just" a personal decision. And let's not pretend that ALL of right wing media isn't coercing your side to act like being unvaccinated is some kind of caveman badge of honor. That's insane.
So you would require all citizens to be vaccinated? If they chose not to take the vaccine what punishment would you hand down Castro?
Hell no, that's not what this country does but I can promise you what I wouldn't do. I wouldn't join a political mob and mock people that are encouraging others to get vaccinated for the greater good. That's what you're doing - following your dumbed down crowd to insult, mock and name call people who believe it's a "good idea" to get our country past this mess as soon as possible. That's your right to do it but I hope you don't ever refer to yourself as a "patriot".
Lol what are you talking about? You have it all figured out dont you. I already told you i am vaccinated i just dont feel its my duty to be a vaccine nazi. Dont let your anger build up so much. We hate seeing you like this. Enjoy your evening chief.
I'm glad to hear you got vaccinated. Now do the world a favor and encourage others to do the same. ;-)
Hmm, you are exactly right, there is something odd about this virus. I’m sure there are some that are afraid of shots but that’s not the issue. I wonder what’s odd about the virus and vaccine????
It certainly isn’t all right of center media. It’s just the conspiracy theorists that have popped up to get on the grift over the last few years.
You may be right but outside of Adam Kinzinger and a handful of Republican governors, I haven't seen much evidence in the media I've been exposed to that suggests there are many sane voices on that side. The three right-wing networks are filled with misinformation, particularly among the opinion hosts. And the conspiracy theorists have become front and center on social media so their voices comparing vaccinations to Naziism are the loudest. Heck, there is a video out there from CPAC this weekend in which a panelist says the US failed to meet it's vaccination goals and a huge roar of applause erupted. That's lunacy level, disgusting madness. I'd also point out that the majority of the voices on this board fall in line with that way of thinking. Crazy times...
CPAC jumped the shark a few years ago, unfortunately. I don’t think I even knew there was more than one right of center network. Tucker Carlson has become the loudest voice on that network, I suppose. Sometimes, he’s pretty interesting. He’s become pretty unhinged on the Covid stuff, though.
I think it’s also important to point out that there’s a difference between public policy and scientific evidence. Public policy should be made taking science into account, but ultimately elected people still need to be the ones making the choices about how we respond to the facts. Unfortunately, probably because Carlson is trying to lead some sort of populist movement, he’s gone beyond analyzing public policy to simply dismissing the facts or alleging they’re corrupt.
At any rate, there are plenty of more responsible right of center people in the media, although they’re mostly writers. Let’s also not pretend that left wing media doesn’t try to identify their policy priorities with science, rather than recognizing that the facts are mostly indifferent. A lot of right of center people are going overboard in direct reaction to left-wing hysteria.
No, it's political to you because you disagree. Typical!
BTW- how do we know you're vaccinated, man up and just get it like I did.
I saw several Black people in Target wearing a mask. That means they didn't get vaccinated. So basically, this isn't just a Red Neck White people thing.
So you are a believer in numbers from the CDC of a European country but don't trust anything from our own CDC? Got it.
man! this looks crazy!
maybe check out the number of infections? maybe this data alone isn't enough to make an educated decision? maybe you're not capable of educated things?
