Covid-19 vaccine myths: These reasons for not getting a shot don't hold up. In fact, they'll set the US back
CNN ^ | April 28, 2021 | Holly Yan

Americans have an easy way to crush Covid-19 -- one that would let businesses fully reopen safely, ditch the need for social distancing and restore a mask-free return to normalcy.

But many Americans don't want to get vaccinated as myths and misunderstandings spread.

"Facebook runs a survey every day ... and that's shown that vaccine confidence in the US has been slowly but steadily going down since February," said Dr. Christopher Murray, director of the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.

"We were at 75% of adults saying they wanted the vaccine. Now we're down to, in those surveys, about 67%."

Vaccine hesitancy is a big problem for several reasons:

The mortality rate for those under 25 YO is 0.005% — likely comorbidity cases.

And there is yet no published statistical evidence the vaccine is offsetting SARS cases and fatalities. Not saying the vaccines are not “saving lives”, but the US stats have yet to show that’s the case.

If I had no other reason for not taking the vaccine, the fact that CNN tells me I need to take it is more than enough reason to avoid it like the plague.

This is not a broken click moment. These people are evil.

The CDC has only itself to blame. People are experiencing side effects and medical concerns that the MSM, CDC are determiend to shout down, but the problems don't go away. Forcing an experimental vaccine on an  unwilling public by lying to them is not a good idea.

For example, alternatives are not tolerated, second opinions are treated as if 'evil' and are in fact withheld without reason. Examples of suppressed information below.

It will all come out in the wash. It's up to individuals and parents to make the choice and live with their outcomes.

WTF ever Beaches.

I finally got my shingles shot two weeks ago and glad it was on a Friday. The side effects were horrendous.

woke up Saturday and it felt like someone broke my arm, it was black and blue, my back was in the most incredible pain, joints hurt, headache.

That persisted an entire week!

Then my arm was red around the bicep and itchy.

This is why I will not take something that isn’t proven.

At least with this I could weigh the risks.

Ha ha! Agree. I listen carefully to what CNN says, then I know the opposite is the truth.

they are attempting to shame and set the stage for blaming and penalizing those who don’t take it

they are setting the stage for forced vaccinations

its experimental, never been done before

so anyone saying we should see long term issues in two months is naive and ignorant, they are basing that assumption on typical attenuated vaccines, not mrna experimental treatments

notice she also gives herself an “out” by couching it as “almost always”, because they have been having to attsmpt to explain away cases that go against their “totally safe and effective” mantras

its experimental, if you take it and die your life insurance policies will not pay out if they link it to the vaccine, because its both experimental and voluntary

every sound scientific experiment has a control group, we need people to not take it to be the control group

Bill Gates is an open population reductionist

He is pushing a treatmwnt he’s financially invested in

Who wants to take meds developed and pushed from a population reductionist? Has common sense gone out the effing window because the person pushing it has the name “Bill Gates”?

Hes not an epert in medicine either. He pays PR organizations to fake interview him and make it appear he’s an authority.

Yes, this is not real “science” at all.

I wish the vaccine pushers would admit these flu numbers are a total farce. Common sense and Occams Razor put almost eferyone in the “these numbers are fudged out of someone’s a$$” category.

Bingo! ALL THE WRONG GROUPS are pushing this crap nonstop. Any person with an ounce of discernment and common sense should have their spidy sense screaming like an air raid siren.

Please cite any evidence you have for this.

When Gates can figure out how to make Windows run without bluescreening for longer than a week or two then he can apply for the job as “Lord and Master of the Known Universe”.

He stressed that the vaccines' EUA status doesn't mean they're less safe. As a member of the FDA vaccine advisory committee, Offit said the vaccines are reviewed with the same level of scrutiny as they would to get full approval. Offit said he's confident the vaccines will get full FDA approval."

So, if that's true, then companies requiring that their workers be vaccinated should be able to be held liable in the event that unforeseen/untested results occur from the vaccination that are harmful or fatal to the individuals receiving the vaccination. It also should mean that, like the Thalidomide disaster that occurred in the 50's, the companies producing the vaccines should be able to be held liable for any future harmful results.

However, at least as far as I am aware, because these vacs are EUA, nobody can or will be held responsible in the event that these vaccinations have harmful long-term side-effects.
