Its that time of year again! When all the
morons and idiots…er in-laws and friends come to our homes…often against
vaccine regulations, to celebrate our most coveted of seasons….frost bite
season….er Christmas! Along with them they bring presents, food, infections, phycological
issues, alcoholism and a need to be listened to and respectfully acknowledged
for the amount of study they have don’t his year at the internet university they
attend while at work (usually while reading from the great book of twitter on
coffee breaks ext).
Now it used to be that when that annoying
uncle/brother/cousin came over you only had to hear about their plan for
starting a “weed business” or how the government was out to personally destroy
all of us, maybe some flat earth “science” would be dropped on you or perhaps
you had the rare breed of “Sovereign citizen” family member who tried their best
to inform you of your rights and freedoms and how you should fight the powers
that be and be free…but this year we are having a continuation of last years uninvited
guest, with a twist…the COVID Deniers are now, not always but often, mutating themselves
into that stoic and humble creature….the Anti vaxer!
Now its important to note that not every Anti
vaxxer is (with an extra X) a nut job that is mentally changed by social media
and possesses a scary psychological disorder that causes them to be very extreme
in their thinking. Some are just scared, like the rest of us…but it is also
more important to realize that they are not victims…some play victims on the
internet…and Im sure a few on TV, but the serious point is that most of them
are just in denial and others are just idiots….yet a few of the rare actual
vaccine nervous are caught between the garbage news and propaganda of the anti
vax crowd and the sharp barbs that they say they feel from the other side. Its super important to point out that being
hesitant is different than being Anti, but we also have to realize that only
through education will the gap between nervous hesitant vaccine rejectors and
logic is important to overcome.
I have looked at some of the most common
reasons or arguments we have had these almost two years since lock down to come
up with some satire and logic, some answers and some laughs to counter the
silly and serious arguments presented to me in reference to this bug and those
that don’t want to be vaccinated or even acknowledge it is serious.
The Vaccine was created
way to fast, is it safe? Almost every company that makes
drugs jumped on this the minute that they saw it could be a pandemic! The speed
in which the available technology was put into play does not mean that they bypassed
safety protocols or did not perform proper testing. We can actually go back and
read about this if you avoid web sites with bias and wanting to convince you
its dangerous by omitting this fact. The FDA in the states also continuously
reviews results from ongoing testing and evaluations of this and even newer
drugs that may be used for the battle against the pandemic. mRNA is also an old
technology that Pfizer and others have had kicking around for years.
Why would I put it in
my body…I don’t know what’s in it! No one is suggesting you
SHOULD know about it, I mean its pretty high tech and most people who don’t want
to take the shot either A) can not pass a greade 9 science test or B) don’t take
the time to read about the tech at all. It’s a mystery because you are ignorant…or
willfully ignorant. So what is it. Well in as easy to understand terms ( and
yes I read up on it…its freaking cool tech) the mRNA is a the information that
is provided to your Cells at to how to fight off the Sars-CoV2 virus. Every cell in your body has DNA in it, which
tells the cells how to act, mRNA is a message sent to the cells to recognize
the virus as an invader and to attack it. mRNA is a message that is readable by
the cells, its sort of like sending a program to a computer to allow it to do
something. I know, that’s all how does it work, but what is it…also, mRNA is a
basic part of human biology, these messages are running around your body
naturally. Actually, these mRNA based vaccines are somewhat safer than
traditional vaccines.
I know what is common
medication because it has an insert that tells me what is in it…..Hmmm,
so I went and grabbed a Motrin bottle (unopened) and opened it up, they don’t have
those anymore for the most part…so I grabbed a no name brand we also buy and
opened it, yup wee slip that has some things in it…it told me the Cardiovascular
risks, Gastrointestinal risk, gave the Clinical Pharmacology and
Indications/Contraindications and some scary side effects. So, I went to the
Motrin web site and it told me all this too….what didn’t it tell me…whats in
the drug! It did however tell me that Motrin is a trade name and they basically
did not share what I was putting in my body…oh, and who made it….Pfizer…you
know the same one you say is not safe if they make a vaccine but its fine to
put the drug for head aches in your body…got it.
What about the horrible
side effects? Because this is a major roll out of a
very important vaccine to fight off a pandemic the government and the companies
(as part of the standard contract protecting them from litigation) have been
super open about the side effects. Most of the common affects are Redness,
soreness, swelling, mild to moderate fatigue and headache. Less common side
effects would be mild chills, Mild fever, muscle aches. All of these are manageable and expected.
After my two shots…NOTHING at all. In fact the only ones I tracked in my family
were all at the site of the injection and they were only sore arms. So, what about common pain meds like
Ibuprofen….Constipation, Diarrhea, Gas, Dizziness, tinnitus….Tylenol also has
some fun ones….Nausea, Somtach pain, Loss of Appeite (that could come in handy
to counter the nausea), Itching, rash, headache,….wait what….Jaunidice and
swelling of the throat, face and tongue…wait…trouble breathing. Fine we can live with small side effects,
mind you these two common drugs do paint a less than pretty picture. But what
about more uncommon side effects.
The vaccine can cause Anaphylaxis in those allergic
to vaccines, its about 5 in 1 million people.
Thrombosis or thrombocytopenia….well its super rare…..0000033728 per 1
million doses…so you know…could happen. What about that COVID HEART we hear
about…or Myocarditis and Pericarditis….well it happens as well. 0.0001128994
out of 1 million. So it can happen as well…but you now someone who had it.
Probably not. The rate of misdiagnosis of those reported is 1/3. Its real, but
not THAT real. But what about the common drugs.
Well lets JUST look at Ibuprofen.
Less common side effects, difficulty breathing, fever, blisters, rash,
hives…wait it gets better….extreme nausea (cuz regular nausea is not bad
enough), jaundice, tachi cardia (Fast heart beat), confusion, aggressiveness, hemorrhage,
vomiting (yum), anemia, Decreased Hemoglobin (I aint no doctor but that sounds
bad) and hypertension….and you thought that the vaccine sounded bad? Oh, and to let you know…the extreme nausea…is
sed to be 1 in 15….NEVER have I ever thrown up after…wait…no I did, but I
thought it was because I was sick, never mind.
Scientists are being
silenced about the side effects of the drug and safety! No
they are not. In fact you can go to a simple social media page and find YARDS
of info about those that are speaking out about it on both sides of the fence,
granted those speaking out about it on the “Pro vaccine” sites are mainly
saying we are not going far enough, or we need to mandate it even more
strictly. Saying that scientists are
being silenced is false, baseless and with out proof. WHO is being
silenced? I have read about one or two
people who were “silenced” yah, I read about it from THEM…so if I said my wife
wont let me post any more…in a post…how valid is that. This dog aint got legs
people.
The vaccine has a zero-indemnity
clause attached to the distribution…I wont risk it!
Did you know that this is common practice? All vaccines are contracted now with
a protection from Liability. All countries, generally speaking are faced with
the issue of identification of companies who create new medications, especially
in cases of Novel technologies. This predates the pandemic, if we did not have
this then the inoculation process would be slowed down for ALL
medications/vaccines.
So, even if I get the
shot I can still contract COVID…then what is the point?
Well two points here and they are both SUPER important, one is self serving the
other is in the service of others. So, if you are the type that does not like
others, does not care about them at all…but still hates being REALLY sick or
even in the hospital…you get the vaccine as you can still contract the virus,
but chances of a hospital visit are limited and chances of a really bad
infection (getting real sick) are limited.
And the more people who are vaccinated, the level of infection one gets
goes down (the sciency part…the body fights off the virus faster and the period
you can infect others then goes down). If we all get the vaccine then we may
still have test positive rates but the time in which we can get someone sick goes
down, thus lessening the number of people we can spread it to…and the suffering
those can have from getting sick. Sort of a hard concept to follow but its is
one of the only ways we can drop this pandemic to a seasonal annoyance.
What if I am allergic to
Vaccines? Most people who are allergic have a
reaction to Polysorbate. Polysorbate is an emulsifier used in not just the
vaccine but other drugs…and foods. They are also used in cosmetics. If you are allergic
to this product its best you take a different vaccine other than J&J
vaccine as its one of the only ones that uses this product. Most people can get
the vaccine very safely and most reactions that people are having are mild and
happen immediately or with in the first four hours. Now there are few people
out their with medical concerns who are choosing not to take the vaccine,
however most people I know who do have medical issues have taken it and had
little to no adverse reactions.
So, getting two shots
was enough, now we need a booster? when will it end? When
the pandemic is over? I mean we are
learning more and our knowledge is evolving, we knew pretty much right off the hope
that we MAY need to get a booster, depending on how long the body held its
effects. Because of the SAFE nature of the vaccine, we are using (a message mRNA
over a dead virus…both are valid by the way). And with people extending the
COVID pandemic by going to super spreaders, not getting vaccinated ext. So, the
longer this thing drags on the more times people will need boosters. Actually, they MAY find a better vaccine that
does not require boosters in the future, but for now…we need boosters.
Why do I need to get a
vaccine, I have no chronic medical conditions?
I have been told by so many people “Dude if I get sick I will just ride it out,
Im young and healthy”….well that’s wishful thinking! I have to friends now who
have received positive COVID tests, one is actually my brother-in-law…who is
young-ish and in good shape. He quarantined and felt sick for a bit but from
all accounts nothing terrible. If
everyone had the same issues as him we would not have the current hysteria….however,
friend number two…a Gym teacher who is the SAME ages as my brother in law,
prior to the vaccines got this infections bitch of a sickness and ended up in
hospital and then a bloody ventilator! Both guys are fine (brother-in-law on
the mend) but the outcomes of the infections are VERY much different. From the
numbers, which support my anecdotal examples, if you get the vaccine you could
get sick from COVID but the disease does not hit you as hard. Now people will
say “Well vaccinated people still go to the hospital….”Yes, they do skippy but
the numbers, the hard statistical, no opinion, basic plain as day numbers say
if you are vaccinated your chances of needing to be hospitalized are much less
than those who avoid the poke.
Its against my religious
point of view? Which
one is that, can you point out the ACTUAL religious tenant that it is breaking
to protect yourself from a virus. Do you think Jesus (if you are Christian)
would say your choice to take a mRNA vaccine is going to send you to hell….wait…they
did not have mRNA technology when he was around…or even technology from the old
way of….screw it…they did not know about bacteria or viruses back then bub!
Point out in the bible (again…Christians) the line that says “AND THOU SHAL NOT
GET THE POKE” and I will back off, till then its an excuse and a weak ass one
at that!
Its being forced on me,
I have rights you know! You are starting to
sound silly and paranoid! Seriously, I have had people say they
are feeling pushed into getting vaccinated….but these people are the ones who
used to do basically the same thing in their jobs! We are trying to make people protect
themselves but in the end its 110% up to you, we will fight the BS anti-vax
miss information but at the end of the day…its all you! The whole rights thing
is weak tea mind you. I asked someone who kept saying “its against my rights”
about the charter and they THOUGHT that they knew it, but the last time they
read it was in high school (so 20 ish years ago) and they did not know the “not
withstanding” clause at all…and they did not really know the charter at all. Seriously, if you quote a statute that you
think protects you….um….learn it.
This is all a political
agenda and the government is planning to control us. So, you think that the government created
COVID and they are using it to control us. Well, I have some questions of my
own…Which government? And to what end…really? First off “which government” do you think the
government of China is going to roll out a fake pandemic to affect Canadians? (Or
what ever country you are in) and your government is going to go along with
it? Well, that’s stupid! Sorry, but you either
did not think this through or you are just a dummy! To what end…I mean that,
what are you going to think they can attain by doing this? I will wait for you to adjust your tin foil
hat and gather your thoughts. (the snarky comment is aimed at only a few people
who actually want to argue this…not everyone)
COVID is not that bad
so lets just ride it out and treat it like the “Flu” that it is!
Yah, if you have the vaccine it will PROBABLY be flu like, if you don’t the
outcome CAN be MUCH worse. Yah, I know
its not a guarantee you will have no issues if you get the poke or if you do
not its not certain that you will be horribly sick. But the statistics so far
show that those that do not get the vaccine have a much stronger reaction to
the virus than those that have not…or in laymen’s terms…if you don’t get poked
you feel way worse when you get infected than if you get the poke on average.
I read on the internet…….STOP!
the pandemic has proven something I knew from before the pandemic happened….the
internet is the WORST place to get info on medical stuff in general. First
GOOGLE is DANGEROUS and can lead to an increase in stupidity and a tendency to
find web sites made up by people with an agenda that caters to our personal
bias. What this means is if you are a anti-vaxer or Covid Denier you will land
on web sites that tell you how right you are…even if the science is basically “Flat
earth”Style info (meaning complete bull pucky).
If you want to find info you think is correct already then you can gain
your MD from Google U….but if you want the truth, talk to doctors, listed to
those working on the vaccines and the virus…not someone giving an opinion on
the data that they skimmed and jumped to conclusions they had BEFORE They did
their research. Also, most people MOST PEOPLE …again…MOST PEOPLE do NOT
understand how to read a research paper or data and could be fooled into just
about anything from someone who can “Talk” the talk. If someone says they read
it on the internet….hang up on them.
From my research……Ummm,
sort of same as the above note but even more annoying…..You are not a
researcher, I am not a researcher, we are not paid to research…so we BROWS, we
SKIM and we then form opinions based on a lack of education, lack of time and a
lack of actual understanding. Stop telling people you researched something…you
did not. I have done research papers on things for school and YOU did no research!
You took your bias and went hunting on the web for sites that reinforced it. So
stop it!!!!
This whole thing was
created by the MSM/Government/a Kabbalah of the rich!
And so, it begins. My argument about the MSM-Mainstream media and the lack of
actual understanding about news vs opinion is one I can make at a later date.
HOWEVER, the Government did not create the COVID virus (I mean not ours but you
could argue it may have been made in a lab some place), Main stream media is
not creating this viral outbreak and there is NO KABBALAH of the rich! If you
think about it logically it does not stand up to just a bit of thinking! But
that is obviously the problem with people who lean into this as a reason not to
get the shot, they are not thinking logically. But this is the problem with
social media…as I say….it makes all of us think our opinions are important and
correct…..when they are best served being kept to ourselves.
I am a free person; I’m
not listening to the governments “Gestapo” tactics.
If I hear that silly weak and very offensive term used one more time, or the
use of the term Nazi one more time I may just slap the person using it! Comparing
what the Nazi’s did to the Jews, Pol’s, Slavs, Romani and Russians as well as…well
anyone not German…and even some of them…to what our government is doing to curb
COVID is sickening. As someone who studied the atrocities that the Nazis
unleashed on the world its vulgar to me to hear this stupid comment. Also, who
gave you the impression you were free to do what ever you want. Life is made up
of rules, laws and consequence or to put it as “Grade three” as I can every
single choice you make has a consequence. Not getting vaccinated is a choice,
no Nazi is going to show up to force you to get the poke, but you do have to
live by societies rules and if you chose not to get poked then you will lose
some privileges.
Im going to wait for
the Herd immunity to kick in! I used to hear this
early on and people did not realize what it actually meant….I mean logistically.
So, we have this virus that kills older people in smaller numbers but also
affect them horribly, some younger also get a “kick in the shin” sort of
reaction (meaning it sucks) and what Herd immunity means is you are going to
risk horrible infection rates, people dying and getting very ill and suffing, hopefully
dodging this virus so that you can wait it out and see if enough people get
sick that the virus has no one new to infect.
Several horrible flaws exist in this thinking mind you. First….YOU COULD GET SICK AN DIE WAITING FOR
THIS. Lets face it even somewhat healthy
people are getting sick and some are passing away waiting for herd immunity to
happen. And now we are finding out we may need a booster and maybe even a
totally new vaccine in the future because of mutations that are caused by us “waiting
around” and allowing the virus time to mutate. Ergo…no herd immunity. Never
mind the fact that you are basically sacrificing people to reach this
fictitious level where there is herd immunity…who is the Nazi now? If you are not getting the shot because you
are waiting for herd immunity, I can only hope its because you are dumb and not
because you care so little about human life that are are willing to gamble with
it.
The Virus has a 99% survival
rate, I am willing to risk it! I have read this a handful of times and its
not accurate. The current numbers are
2.4-4.1% mortality rate. REGARDLESS of the numbers “Some number” of people will
die from this virus and they will go down alone, separated and quarantined from
family, suffering with a ventilator installed to keep them breathing and then
pass away in a medical coma. Yah, it may
not be you…but it could by a loved one, a daughter or sister, a brother or
father, a neighbor or beloved teacher. I have seen to many people I know go
down to this bloody virus for you to preach your 99% bull shit and just sort of
glide by the fact that others have died. And…just for shits and giggles…what if
you are part of the 1% you say will ONLY die from the virus….probably not….but
maybe!
I don’t want to be made
to feel like I’m a strain to the medical system and I’m not getting the shot.
So, if you
are not getting the shot…and you get sick…..YOU WILL BE A BURDEN AND STRAIN ON
THE MEDICAL SYSTEM. Period! I’m thinking if you choose not to get vaccinated
and you get sick…enough to need hospitalization…then we should install a “Nope,
you stupid” tax for your medical stay. You Knowingly took the risk and gabled
with your life and your need for medical intervention, you should pay the
price. Its all of our taxes that go to support your ass in the hospital, if its
not your fault for being their fine, but you don’t take every precaution then
you should pay. But I feel the same way
about smokers and others who do things that harm themselves and who don’t take
logical steps to protect themselves and end up in hospital…so yah, you are as
bad as a smoker…worse actually because you are only addicted to misinformation
and illogical actions.
The hospitals are not
that bad. Okay, here is what I have to say about
that….do you work in one…probably not. I have a friend whose wife works in one
and its ape shit crazy right now and everyone is scared but working hard. I hear idiots say “They are not that busy” or
“the lazy staff are just bitching for a pay raise” Shut your mouth! These are
the same people saving lives while getting yelled at by morons on the street,
having to wade through bloody protesters for Christ’s sake. To those that say
its not that hard or they are over reacting…go do their job for a day…hell half
a shift. You would not last a minute. These people are bloody heros and you
have the NERVE to denigrate them or suggest the are not battling a life time of
PTSD from this stuff…just proved how stupid you are…congratulations!
You don’t support freedom
of choice if you want me to get the shot!
Nope, I support freedom of choice but I also support two other things…the
freedom of choice after being properly informed of all sides of the issue, not just
force fed info that meets your current personal bias and I also support your
freedom to make up your own mind and not get sucked into the new bias media or
polarized group think positions. If after you have ACTUALLY read REAL info and
spoken to a REAL doctor about the vaccine, talked to family and made up your
mind, if you choose to not get the vaccine I totally support that. As do most,
we don’t understand it, but we don’t have to right.
The government is using
it to track us! Putz, you have a cell phone and they CAN
track that! Why do they need a tracker in a vaccine? This one and the next one
really made the rounds and proved that some were dumber than others. We all
need to keep in mind that most of the people who believe this stuff are fragile
people who are the essential snow flake, treat them with kid gloves. Im not
going to try and help them as they are beyond my ability to help explain things
to.
It will make you
magnetic! I cant even…..Really, what kind of
three year old super moron are you! I have seen the videos and laughed at them
too. I guessing if that’s your reason for not getting one you will never be
able to be convinced, and the earth is flat to you and the lizard people are
ruling the world…have a nice day.
What about the vaccine
vs the new COVID variants? From what I have read
the “new variants” are controlled by the vaccine as well, the latest however
seems to be avoiding getting snagged by the vaccine. The research into the Omicron
bad boy however is really new and we don’t know if its going to hold up. Right
now most of the vaccine efficacy is based on year old data and it looks good,
but we will have to wait and find out if the newest mutations cause the effectiveness
to lower.
Why does the info
change all the time? Because as well all
know by now, or should…science evolves! We learn new things over time. If we
did not evolve our understanding and just sort of lived life and walked along
with out learning…well we would be in the dark ages still….Lighting struck a
key and then it was understood how electricity worked (well it’s A) a fake
story and B) very simplistic but it’s a cute story) we would not have lights,
computers ext. The science is evolving because we strive to move ahead and
learn, this my friends IS A GOOD THING!!!!
These lock down rules
make no sensei to me! Actually, you got me on this one.
Most of the rules that are rolled out make little sense, are toothless and
probably won’t be as affective as the government hopes. Every time they do this I think you could
lock down tight for 2 weeks and see a huge impact, or you could do this spineless
restrictions and see no really change but for more time…nice! In my opinion they
are not going far enough and they are doing it for to long!
At the end of the day there are a few things
we should all be able to agree upon. First, you should be able to make up your
own mind…but the choices you make come with built in consequences…both pro and
anti! We also should not cause others to feel hurt for making choices that they
make…but we do need to remind them that they cant have it all….we are all in
this together as well, Vaccinated and unvaccinated! We can also all agree that
online, on TV and most info we are getting from most sources is BIASS and we
have to learn to realize this…but we also have to realize that some sources are
telling the truth while others are not…MSM or Main Stream media is not to blame…opinion
media is. And at the end of the day the one thing we all want, we all want to
come to being is the end to the pandemic.
My only suggestions I will make is to first
agree to disagree and realize you do not HAVE To tell everyone your opinion…yours
is not that important and neither is mine and lastly…we can get through this
together if we remember, that aside from a little ribbing, most of us deserve a
bit of respect…but you have to give it to get it!
