Iron Maiden's Bruce Dickinson on COVID Vaccine: 'I'm Quite Happy About It'
Newsmax ^ | Zoe Papadakis

Posted on 08/31/2021 11:52:27 AM PDT by DugwayDuke

"The music icon tested positive for the virus earlier in August despite being fully vaccinated. Looking back, the reason he was able to recover without any serious side effects was because he had the jab, Dickinson said."

"My belief is — and I stress, it's a belief — that this proves that I would have been more sick if I've not taken the vaccine," he said. "I mean, I had both jabs. Everybody I know has had both jabs. And I'm quite happy about it. You know, none of us have started growing extra heads, suddenly wanting sidle up to 5G phones,... So, all of these things, I think it's largely a myth!"

"I think they believe [conspiracy theories] because of their psychological makeup. They have a need to believe in these things," Dickinson continued. "It's the same as people that are going to sit on top of a mountain every year and wait for the world to end. And the world doesn't end, but do they modify their beliefs? Actually, no. It strengthens them."

I’m annoyed every time someone calls the vaccine the “jab”. It’s so childish.

How about “death shot”? Its not a vaccine.

That is not how this was sold.

It was sold initially as “You won’t get sick”

Then it morphed to “You won’t get as sick”

Then to “You can still get infected, pass it on and mitigate the symptoms but, you won’t die”

and now “You need a booster” and maybe more...

He is certified to fly a Boeing 757. He has worked as a commercial pilot and at one time he was one of the highest rated fencers in the UK. Not typical behavior for a man who loves dangerous drugs.

Vaxx side-effects are not always polite enough to show all their stuff right away....

My Shyngryx reaction went as follows:

Woke up the next morning and:

Arm felt like it had been broken in 1/2
Skin around injection site was black and felt dead, about the size of palm
Headache worse than other headaches in the lower backside of my head.
Mid back and lower back, at waist line, spasmed with each hear beat.
Every joint hurt and the ones I injured over the years were more excruciating.
Both shoulders ligaments were crazy in pain as well.

Fun...

Still haven’t taken the 2nd shot and I was due for it about 5 months ago.

Don’t forget “mandatory” this and “mandatory” that....

They moved the goalposts off the field and into the Fourth Reich.

Here is my post from April about my experience from Shygrix:

FU guys and your very rare side effect malarky.

I took the Shyngrix shot two weeks on Friday.

Woke up Saturday and it felt like someone had broken my arm where the shot had been injected.

The skin 3” wide and 6” long from my bicep to my tricep looked and felt dead.

Every joint hurt

I had a headache that isn’t like the one I wake with every morning from bruxism

My back as in excruciating pain in the middle and at the belt line.

That put me in bed for 3 days, took a week until I could function the skin turned red and still partly red.

It didn’t feel like some anecdotal event to me.

I still haven’t take the booster and I’m scared too...

Why does anyone care?

If people got the shot, I don’t care.

If you don’t want the shot, I don’t care.

I don’t know where everyone is living, but no one has asked to see my vaccine card.

I don’t care what Fauci says. I think the “yelling and condescending messages” to get vaccinated is a bad marketing idea.

I also find most of the loudest anti vaxers to be bloviating fools who haven’t read a medical journal, and the quote backwater docs that no one have ever heard from.

Live your life. If you are vulnerable, protect yourselves and loved ones. Wash your hands. Stay away from other people.

Stop passing on stories and damned aging rock stars and their opinions.

Anyone pushing out that noise x 40 years is nearly as demented as Scranton Joe. But yeah, 757s.

Good idea. I think it takes more than that to cure severe stupidity.

Over 5.29 billion doses administered tells us a lot about safety and effectiveness.

Once upon a time, the process was making an incision and rubbed cowpox into the cut. Should we throw away all the hypodermic needles?

What a f’ing ridiculous comparison.

Don’t post to me anymore, and I won’t waste my time posting to you.

Boogieman wrote: “So anything that produces any immunity at all can be called a vaccine? Great. I’m vaccinated now. I drank some orange juice this morning, so that counts now, according to your definition.”

Since I did not make that claim that’s another strawman argument. You were the one who claimed that a medicine had to be 100% effective to be considered a vaccine.

No. That was how anti-vax people interpreted things. Out here in reality it was sold just like a flu vaccine. A helper, with probable boosters because fast mutators mutate.

Yes. RINO-leaning. Their ratings boost they get from time to time is due to not being as far left as Fox News has gone since 2011.

Not to mention, they’re getting this second-hand from Yahoo Entertainment.

You know, none of us have started growing extra heads.

I can't tell you how relieved I am to hear that. What has it been, a few months now?
