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.

The ones I’ve spoken to don’t. They’re getting ready for the booster. And scoff at or disregard my objections to getting the experiment.

What the so-called vaccinated on this thread don’t seem to realize is that THEY ARE NO LONGER VACCINATED AND WONT BE UNTIL THEY GET THEIR BOOSTER SHOT. Fauci and the CDC have already said as much. Expect it to become official policy within two weeks.

No. She believes she knows how they got it (person they know has it and they were around her). Point being, her symptoms were no different than her husband's (he didn't get the jab) and they both turned around 1 day after hydroxy/ivermectin/steroid. When I spoke with her earlier she basically said she got guilted into the vaccine from employer and she feels as though she took an unnecessary risk.

Idiots. —Those so defective that the mental development never exceeds that or a normal child of about two years.
Imbeciles. —Those whose development is higher than that of an idiot, but whose intelligence does not exceed that of a normal child of about seven years.
Morons. —Those whose mental development is above that of an imbecile, but does not exceed that of a normal child of about twelve years.

I won’t call you a moron for calling others who are probably better informed than you morons, but if the shoe fits, wear it...

The CDC will soon formally announce that you are no longer “vaccinated” - for purposes of passports, restaurants and your jobs - until you get your booster shot. Only until after you get your booster shot will you be back in the vaccinated camp.

With what I now know...the test BS, the cases BS, the death scale BS, THAT IT DOESN’T STOP YOU FROM GETTING AND STILL SPREADING IT!! ..etc.

Yes, I regret it. I got the J&J single shot. I believe people knew it only gave you personal (better) protection but it didn’t stop you from getting it...so it was not ‘informed consent’ imo. We’ve been lied to on a monstrous scale.

I regret getting my J&J on day 1 of a mass vaccination site administered by a national guard soldier who had obviously never done it before. Blood ran down my arm and I developed vaccine induced bursitis that only went a way after months of physical therapy.

But I don’t regret the vaccine—just that I got it a bit too early instead of being able to wait for a trained nurse to do it. I’d have requested in the hip/butt instead as well.

Haven’t met one person that regrets taking the shot.

I know of four acquaintances that I would like to ask if they regretted it. But I can't. They all died within a week or two of taking the shot. Curious, as I personally do not know anyone unvaccinated who has died from COVID.

Many won’t because they have done what they have done and there is no way to undo it. I personally know of several people who are “fully vaccinated” and got Covid anyway. I wonder if they will rush to get a “booster”, now.

What people with nautral immunity gained through getting and recovering from the virus? Evidence says that naturally acquired immunity is probably more effective than the vaccine. And what about the potential serious side effects, including death, from the vaccine? Is that to be discounted because YOU didn’t have side effects? You forget that the goal is NOT to get everyone vaccinated, but to get everyone immune.

Didn’t we see a survey last week that said one of the groups rejecting the vaccines in significant numbers are people with PhDs? Not exactly ignorant morons.

I believe a large number of people regret these gene therapy shots!

he is virtue signalling. Just like the pharisees who stood on the street corner praying that they are glad they aren’t like the other people around them.

You are right, they aren’t forcing anyone. They are just enlisting private business to coerce people in to it under threat of retaliation by the government. Most people I know that took the Poke don’t seem to have a problem with that.

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

Agree. My entire family, with the exception of myself, have been injected with whatever this stuff is. I hope that I am mistaken and not them. If I get this thing, I'll conduct my fight with it in the many ways that are available. Fortunately, I don't get treated like a pariah. It's more like a "you know what the old man's like".
