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.

Only ignorant morons reject vaccination

Yes or no. Can the current vaccination permanently harm or kill me?

I don’t have any regrets. I think the Trump Vaccine is fantastic. I also believe it should be 100% voluntary. This means both sides hate me. Oh well!

Is it possible she went in a crowded area that she would have not done, if she hadn’t gotten the shots?

The ones who did not experience immediate freaky reactions or die are clinging to the belief they won’t die if they get covid.

They are yet to experience a virulent variant that goes right around the spoke protein.

Nor have they gotten to a viral situation that triggers an immune overreaction that could be deadly, nor has it been long enough to develop autoimmune disease, nor long enough to see any 2nd or 3rd order consequences - like cancer.

Maybe none of that will happen - or maybe the experts are right and it will.

As the saying goes, act in haste, repent in leisure.

Time’ll tell.

Will they even connect the strokes and heart attacks that many will suffer in a year or two

I thought Dr. Tenpenny said back in the spring that there would start a mass die off of those vaccinated within 3-6 months and that millions could (and later changed to would) die? Dolores Cahill may have also said that?

Most that get sick say, it would have been worse. For what that’s worth.

—> Haven’t met one person that regrets taking the shot

I had one tell me he very much regretted it this week.

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

So we should wait for 10-30 years before fielding a drug that has proven very effective against COVID?

“Texas has seen nearly 9,000 COVID-19 deaths since February. All but 43 were unvaccinated people.

Preliminary data shows 99.5% of COVID-related deaths in Texas were among unvaccinated people, according to the Department of State Health Services.”

I recovered from a pretty good bout of Covid (sick for a week and lost my sense of smell for several months) but had a great immune response such that I’ve given blood several times now to cure people who are very ill with a Covid. In fact I did so again recently.

My work (federal contractor in the USA) is Israeli and we get paperwork that considers natural immunity the same (or better now) than from the shot.

Going in federal property, however, they are pushing me to get the vaccine, which I don’t want, has a much higher risk of bad side effects for people who recovered from Covid, and is completely unnecessary. In fact it may weaken my broad immunity.

The reality of naturally acquired immunity from those that survive a viral infection is a concept that has been understood for 100’s of years. Yet with this pandemic, the CDC won’t acknowledge the idea that those who’ve recovered from Covid are now immune.

It is bizarre, and a disturbing possible explanation is the CDC is so in bed with Big Pharma they know if they acknowledged the efficacy of natural immunity with Covid, they would likely find half the country has already acquired antibodies to the disease; and you know what that would mean. There goes half of Big Pharma’s profit!

First shot in a county-owned convention center, second in a pharmacy. The pharmacy was a lot quicker.

.........”Only ignorant morons reject vaccination”........

What an insulting idiotic statement. You’ve made yourself the uninformed “ignorant moron” you’re accusing others of, who have determined not to accept this shot by taking responsibility for their own healthcare.... It’s not your call.

I would be interested to know what you treated yourself with as you experienced the ill affects you had. Such as did you use common flu over the counter preparations or did you use others??? or what did your Dr. suggest etc.

Like flu/cold season I generally have the common medications on hand just in case.

What ever this ‘virus’ is, it’s been planned, IMHO. Demos ‘kills’ include anyone who stands in their way. I think Eve was a demo.
