If you trust big pharma to crank a vaccine out and rush it to the public without years of studying, to have no ill side effects, that’s fine. I however don’t see the risk as worth it. I’m a firm believer in you do you, and I’ll do me. We may disagree, but I never get mad at someone because they have a mask on or are vaxed, but I have not been given the same respect. We can be different and not be malicious.

Had mumps as a kid........don't remember it being a lot of fun. Did escape any long term effects.
People have short memories.....Been vaxed 3 times my self already.

Cheers!

I bet that was a load off. Both of you testing to confirm your statuses straight away could have saved further infections had the results gone the other way.

Hope you both get better soon.

On the bright side, I can still taste and smell, so I'm going to strip my latest ferment this weekend.

I’ll also bet none of the current generation or the one before has had family die or suffer deformities at birth due to Measles, Mumps or Rubella .

Vaccines don’t make sense if you have not seen life before them .

Anyway , I digress .
Had my Booster day before last as did Mrs and Son .
Like all the Vaccines , I had barely a sore arm . Mrs copped it really bad for a day and son was a little under the weather fir a day .

Next week we go back to work and face hundreds of filthy little snot gobblers that despite officially us all having to wear masks , there will be the usual shit fight to get them yo wear them .

The recent direction of this conversation, unfortunately, comes into a world where it can lead to division. I ask you gently steer course back center to the original intended op, which is your experience with it, and coming together to support each other.

Thank you.

I've been biting my tongue about this because I didn't want to get the thread locked but few people seem to want to stay on subject so...

Let me start by saying most people think vaccines are a wonderful thing including those being labeled as "anti-vaxxers". Those so called "anti-vaxxers" are perfectly within their rights to be skeptical. These are the first mRNA vaccines in history to be approved by the FDA and they were rolled out faster than any vaccine in history so it's absolutely true that those being vaxxed are guinea pigs no matter what we are being told.
we certainly are in a big trial, hopefully a good one. the mRNA tech has been around for decades but covid forced the expansion. as for speed, the scientist can now do in hours what use to take them a year.
we have come a long way from cutting someone on the arm and smearing it with the pus from a cowpox lesion to combat smallpox

Then there is the whole media thing where virtually every news organization is spewing verifiably false information and tech is not allowing actual factual info through if it doesn't suit the narrative of their agenda.
link us up with your facts please

Then there is the fact that a certain person stated "The FDA is under enormous pressure to approve a vaccine" in reference to why he wouldn't trust a vaccine developed under a certain administration. 6 months later he was trying to force everybody to take that same vaccine that he himself swore couldn't be trusted because the FDA was under such enormous pressure to approve.

Now lets get to those "trials" that resulted in those vaccines being approved. People were given apps to download on their phones with pre selected possible side effects. Neurological issues weren't on the list so could only be reported in person and people who suffered from those side effects not pre selected on the app say there was little interest by the people conducting the studies and they went unreported in the final reports.

I know 3 women, all unrelated who have had bad enough adverse side effects to have to go to the ER. My wife for what looked for all the world to be a stroke and 2 others who had heart issues. Then there is the small town in North Carolina where multiple people suffered something called Bell's Palsy after getting their shots. So the statement that risk of side effects is 0.002% is pure D Bullshit!
have you got a link to the story about the NC case?
bells palsy has shown up after covid jab, but slightly less than than the usual pre-covid, and also shown up in placebo groups. a report on 38,000 participents had cases of bells palsy, slightly less than the usual cases pre-covid, which is about 15-20 per 100,000

Now how about the fact that the vaccine is quite ineffective. I doubt it played any roll whatsoever in my latest bout and the FDA has only just recently began even acknowledging natural immunity for this crap.
can you link the medical report?

One more thing, if Covid were a drug it would be FDA approved given it's low mortality rate and the skewed numbers used to even achieve that. People who were sick were moved into nursing homes with old people who already had multiple commorbidities, but not yet covid and suddenly that state's numbers and the amount of money and attention they received went up. Surprise, surprise! Then there were verifiable murders labeled as Covid because the people shot had it...etc...etc...etc the falsifications to boost numbers was ludicrous.

So, am I against vaccines? Absolutely not, I'm pro vax but not pro forcing people to take it against their will and think it's idiotic to fire first responders and even snow plow drivers for not wanting to get it then whining and bitching when we don't have enough of them.

How am I doing after my latest bout?

I still have a cough, particularly bad in the morning and shortness of breath at times but much better, although I did have to cancel the heart stress test I had scheduled for next week because I doubt I could make it far on the treadmill.
