Because we know that "scientists" and "journalists" are all as pure as the driven snow...
I mean, if you can't trust "scientists" and "journalists" who CAN you trust?

Joshua Garza had a chance to get vaccinated against COVID-19 in January but he passed it up, thinking he didn't really need it.
Now, the 43-year-old Texan is hoping to inspire others to get the shot after he became so ill following his COVID-19 diagnosis that he needed a rare double lung transplant to survive.
"COVID ended up attacking my lungs," Garza, of Sugarland, told ABC News.
After testing positive for COVID-19 in late January, Garza's health deteriorated rapidly. On Feb. 2, when he ended up falling while trying to walk, his wife called for an ambulance to take him to the hospital. He was ultimately transferred to Houston Methodist, where he was put on an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) machine to pump and oxygenate his blood for him.
"It was quick, it was within three weeks, the lungs were already shot," said Garza, who works in the oil and gas industry.
Garza was put on the lung transplant list, and on April 13, successfully underwent surgery. He spent several more weeks recovering and rehabilitating to regain his strength after two months on life support before being released from the hospital on May 27...
"It's much easier to get the vaccine than to go through something like this," Huang said of Garza's case. "He's extremely lucky. Most people in this situation don't make it to the transplant. You can't count on this outcome."
For Garza, he's sharing his story in hopes of helping prevent others from experiencing what we went through.
"If I knew what I know now," he said, "I would have definitely went through with the vaccination."

Unreal, isn’t it?
Even to the extent of pushing a BS story.

Not in Texas.
Herman Caine too.
Did he eat carrots? Was probably the carrots. Everybody who ate carrots in the 18th century has already died!
Chances are the effects of Covid would have been significantly diminished if he had had the vaccine. Smoker or not.
People are 'luddites' for calling out the fallacy of this article???
A gentleman I work with contracted COVID two or three weeks after his first dose. He was very ill, hospitalized, and almost ready to go on a ventilator. The were debating a DNR order. He finally was able to fight it off. Doctors said that the head start the first shot gave him probably saved his life.
Or, the first shot is what caused him to contract china virus, in the first place. 🙄
He and his wife debated getting the vaccine at all, probably due to listening to crackpot theories like FR is lousy with nowadays.
Your story isn't a very convincing "sell" of these shots.
And, calling the questioning the of safety and efficacy of these experimental shots 'crackpot' IS very telling.
The smallpox vaccine was a toxin. Would you have not taken it?
ROFL!!!... i was trying to think how to respond to this thread considering the news source it used...
Then I saw your post...
NOPE... i cant do any better than that!
So i just say “Ditto!”

Are you referring to the scientist and doctors and podcast from anti-Covid-vaccine people?
The Twitter dudes with bombshell findings.
The famous and lovely Dr. Tenpenny? Who lost her medical license and is now practicing “natural medicine” ( don’t need a license for that)?
In other words, your side of the issue has their doctors and media, the other side had theirs.
It’s all about whom does one believe.
Josh got off lucky. A lot of people died after treatment was withheld.
~~~~~~~~~
Not in Texas.
Correct.
OK, now interview the people who took it and died. (oh wait...)
If propaganda were quicksand this thread would be six feet under and sinking
please explain why abc and msn should be considered reliable news sources?...
100% no, that vaccine killed more kids in the 1800s than the disease did. Hard to find those numbers nowadays though, it’s quite buried, but I have paper copies somewhere here.
Exactly!
Or was he taking Vitamin D, Vitamin C, zinc and quercetin as a precaution SINCE HE KNEW ABOUT THE PANDEMIC or did he just keep doing nothing and become surprised when he couldn’t walk a week or so after his symptoms started to develop...
the Lord helps those who help themselves, etc...
Stupid people will always find a way to be stupid.
Well he “survived” which is the only thing that matters according to some people - though most would probably prefer not to go through things like double lung transplants, colon removal, permanent serious breathing problems, etc.
