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.

How do you feel about GMO foods? Pesticides on produce? Or growth hormones and chicken and beef?

I should add; she will not get any more shots and said she shouldn't have done it.

>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.

A super vaxer friend of mine is now telling me they are going to wait on the booster to see how things go.

Haven’t met one person that regrets taking the shot. On the other hand, I have met many who have told me they regretted not taking the shot.

People seem to forget that COVID is a military designed weapon. Many that get COVID have lasting damage..

People are too dug into their opinions now to change their mind. Even if the vaccine was proven to be 100% fine I’d probably still not get it simply because I’m in no danger of dying from covid (same reason why I don’t get the flu shot every year)
I’m glad it’s there for older people and those with health issues but the premise that 100% of people need to get it is preposterous

I agree.
Sadly those that have been vaccinated do not agree with you.

I got the j&j shot. I don’t want a booster. I would like a flu shot, however, but I will wait at least 6 months after the covid shot for it.

“why should we trust these people?...“

THAT is reason number 1 why I am skeptical of these shots.

Same folks who have blatantly lied to our faces about SO many things these past few years (actually WAY more, but…)

And then there are the other hundred reasons…

Been hooked up with the VA for years. Had an appendix explode in January of 2020. Until the infection was knocked down they wouldn't talk about taking it out.

That went to March of 2020 when the Covid hit, and they were waiting for the flood of casualties to appear, (That never happened.) All surgery ground to a halt.

Then, in January of 2021, when the VA started accepting applications for "elective" surgeries, the pressure was strong that getting vaxxed was a perquisite to get on the list.

Hell of a choice...

Now, the jab is ineffective, and needs a "booster." It's almost as if the VA was lying/guessing.

No, nope, nada, negative, noway nohow, zero.
Until a couple years ago, I believed I was the picture of health. Never went to the doctor. I was nearing my seventies, so finally decided to have a check-up. Found out my BP was 210/120 and I had a thickened heart muscle and congestive heart failure with no symptoms. I’m on mega doses of 4 different bp meds.
Then 2 years ago I had endocartitus, probably from a procedure to remove bladder stones. Had to have a heart valve replacement.
Even before the valve replacement, I would never have gotten the vaccine. I figured my immune system was pretty good, since I couldn’t remember the last time I had a cold or flu.But with the heart surgery I figured my chances of survival went way down so I gladly got the Moderna shot with no side effects.

Yes there are.

And people who did not get vaccinated and look down in those who did.

Both groups are stupid.

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.

Now that pisses me off such that I might quit and sue.

Correct.

They all have the same response (even here at FR):

No problems.

Until they do...

Ignorant morons? PhD holders reject it at a higher rate than those at any other level of educational attainment.

The vaccine resistant have also looked more closely at the evidence-based studies, listened to more relevant Nobel prize winners, etc., etc.

I have a coworker that certainly is. He is suffering from Bells Palsy brought on by his Pfizer x2 jab. Another fella I spoke to, his daughter is now having to see a neurologist after receiving her second jab.
