Do the people who rushed to get the COVID shot have buyer's remorse?

There are many troubling aspects to the COVID vaccines and the growing mandates for them. Here I'd like to focus on one that is rarely discussed.

To begin with, when these unapproved vaccines were first made available to the public on an emergency basis, many people rushed headlong to get one. They were in a near panic. I saw this myself. This was due, to a large extent, to the panic whipped up in the mainstream media. The COVID virus was reported to be deadly. Its death toll (which we now know was highly inflated) was used to induce fear. Then the early adapters relied completely on pronouncements from the vaccine manufacturers and health authorities like Dr. Anthony Fauci and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Trust the science, it was said. The vaccines were both effective and safe.

Unfortunately, the population (and their primary care physicians) were denied the opportunity to hear alternative opinions on these novel vaccines from credible immunologists and other scientists. All views contrary to the official party line were squelched by the media and censored on social media. Thus, the decision to take a COVID vaccine early on was, at best, based on the word of the experts or, at worse, the emotion of fear.

As time moved on, however, alternative opinions and facts on the vaccines began escaping from the media bubble and from under the censorship of Big Tech. This new information included evidence showing that 1) the vaccines are not nearly as effective as advertised; 2) the survival rate from COVID is over 99 percent; and 3) a troubling number of people have experienced serious side effects, up to and including death.

They’ll never admit it if they do.

Many absolutely do, ask them about how willing they are to get the booster. Bring up all the adverse effects that are starting to be reported, see how fast they become defensive.

My naturally acquired immunity trumps your fake immunity.

PS - My wife and I, both in our sixties, had it before it had a name so we didn't know we were supposed to be frightened out of our wits. We survived it without doctor visits and without pharmaceuticals.

Most absolutely do not.

I am double Pfizer shot.

Only ignorant morons reject vaccination.

Only ignorant sheep reject the idea that drugs should be tested for long-term effects before being foisted on an unsuspecting populace.

If I voluntarily took 2 shots of poison, I would say the same thing as you. Who wants to look like an idiot?

You remind me or parents who always say: "My child attends the best school district in the state" - whether it's true or not.

If they start dying off due to reduced immunity will they notice it? The deep state is not going to point it out. That may be partially why the deep state wants everyone vaccinated.

The fact that you used “ignorant moron’s” speaks volumes. As I posted, your believes were challenged and you became defensive. If you were fine with your decision you would have let my comments slide. I have no problem that you choose to take it and wish you the best of luck.

No, most people had no adverse effects and thought for a while that this would make them more socially acceptable, society would open up and they’d be free of this stupid mask nonsense, etc.

However, I doubt that most will get the “booster,” simply because it appears to have made little difference, the government seems to have doubled down with the masks and oppression, and there’s no point in doing it again.

My feeling is that most people who got the vaccine did so just because they thought that then things would open up, they could go back to church, go shopping, breathe again, etc. But now that they’ve seen that the government plans to make all of the horrible restrictions permanent and actually use the vaccination status as a way to restrict liberties, I think there’s going to be resistance.

jotato, fauxi, and the cdc recommending experimental shots for our citizens to stop the spread of a virus while jotato opens the border, invites, welcomes, and freely spreads hundreds of thousands of disease carrying invaders across our country during a “global pandemic” reeks of hypocrisy and proves our government officials don’t care about our health and safety...

why should we trust these people?...

Not only am I am ignorant moron. I’m also a bigot.

I’ll own that, and I’m just fine with it.

Have a great day easily manipulated and fearful sheep.

Why did I even answer?
Most of you don’t respect my decision...

...BUT I’m suppose to respect yours!

Well, at least were not ignorant morons. We don't reject vaccinations, just poisonous experimental gene inoculations.

Only an ignorant moron would do that and call it a vaccine.

Assuming they didn’t have acute problems soon after the shot, they made a gamble and probably won.

It’s their risk to have taken and none of our business.

People bitching about other people getting vaccinated are as stupid as people bitching about other people refusing to get vaccinated.

Think about your personal situation and make your choice.

It should be YOUR choice, however.

My neighbor got the jab. She and her whole family now have Covid. They are doing better (thank God) thanks to Hydroxychloroquine, Ivermectin and steroids.
