America's anti-vaxxer lunatics are snatching covid defeat from the jaws of vaccinated victory with their conspiracy-theory garbage and must be stopped from destroying everybody's freedom

America has hit a roadblock in the coronavirus pandemic.

A hard, very dangerous and completely unnecessary roadblock.

Put bluntly, a lot of deluded, ill-informed, shamefully scare-mongered, or simply complacent Americans have got it into their heads that either the covid vaccines are somehow more dangerous than covid itself, or the virus isn't serious enough to warrant protection from it.

Some of these sceptics believe the insane conspiracy-theory that the US Government is using vaccines to plant microchips in their heads to control their minds. (Don't laugh: a recent Economist/YouGov poll revealed that 20% of Americans really do suspect this.)

Many more, tens of millions of people across the United States, are hesitant to get jabbed for all manner of other reasons ranging from doubts about the vaccine's efficacy, to a fear they impair fertility, damage pregnancy, alter DNA, magnetize you, or even actively help transmit the virus.

These unsubstantiated theories have been fuelled by anti-vaxxer whack-jobs online, and especially on social media.

And they have sadly begun to have a very real and deadly influence, as I can personally attest.

I've just had covid, the Delta variant, despite being fully vaccinated with the Oxford AstraZeneca vaccine.

It was an unpleasant experience and I felt quite sick, as sick as I've felt from any illness, but I never came close to being hospitalized or dying.

So, the vaccine worked: it stopped me getting seriously ill.

But when I revealed this on Twitter and Instagram, and urged people to get jabbed, I was promptly bombarded with an astonishing amount of utterly insane and incredibly vitriolic responses from the anti-vaxxer brigade – many of them in America.

In other words, you must comply to be free.

[Fledermaus]

[Magic Fingers]

#5: NO ACCESS TO THE RAW DATA FROM THE TRIALS
#6: NO LONG-TERM SAFETY TESTING
#7: NO INFORMED CONSENT
#8: UNDER-REPORTING OF ADVERSE REACTIONS AND DEATH

#10: PEOPLE ARE CATCHING COVID AFTER BEING FULLY VACCINATED
#11: THE OVERALL DEATH RATE FROM COVID IS NOT HIGH ENOUGH

[ConjunctionJunction]

Well, it is written by Piers Morgan...

[Blennos]

...deluded, ill-informed, shamefully scare-mongered...anti-vaxxer whack-jobs online...

Great job by Piers here. In any scientific debate, the most effective way to persuade the opposition of the accuracy of your position is by name-calling and insults.

[kiryandil]

Renowned doctor, epidemiologist and virologist Piers Morgan weighs in...

Oh, wait - Piers is just a talking face.

So, the vaccine worked: it stopped me getting seriously ill.

In other words, he had the same experience with COVID that 90%+ of those who were not vaccinated did. And this proves that we should all get vaccinated how?

[bray]

Because the lockdowns brought out the liberals inner Nazi.

[mowowie]

Nice One

[circlecity]

More fear porn from the death jab crowd

[frogjerk]

Thank you for not being a hypocrite.

[kara37]

His argument of getting the vax and then getting sick may not be the best persuasion.

***************************************

I guess this is the new selling point.

Yes, I got Covid while being fully vaccinated, but I didn’t die, so it worked.

[Paperpusher]

How about the one million third world “immigrants” that sleepy Joe has allowed across the border since he became POTUS. How many had Covid? Check where they were transported and see what the increase in Covid was for that area.

[Buttons12]

Meanwhile the Tennessee health department has announced this week that more than 1,000 FULLY VACCINATED people have the virus, hundreds of them are hospitalized and dozens of those have already died... Gee Joe, how can that have happened ???

It can't have happened. Those Texas Dems, all got the shot and came down with covid, that couldn't have happened either. Piers Morgan pointed out: "White House surgeon-general Vivek Murthy revealed last Thursday that 97% of covid hospital admissions, and 99.5% of covid deaths, in the US are currently occurring among unvaccinated people."

So maybe 1 in a thousand in Tennessee, and maybe one person on that plane, got a faulty shot or, or, something!

Morgan seems hysterical to me.

Piers has special access to the Alternate Universe portal, where he DIDN'T get vaccinated, got the Delta variant, and died.

This is how he KNOWS that the quaxxine stopped him getting seriously ill.

Looks like Piers skipped logic class in school.

[glennaro]

Every time I come across one of these diatribes I become more convinced that this wild-eyed push by the vaccine enthusiasts has every bit as much to do with the people who got the shot trying to rationalize their decision to put their good health at risk to get a covid treatment that doesn't protect them against covid, as it does to disparage those who, for a variety of thoughtful reasons (or strictly for emotional reasons ... doesn't matter, it's their decision!) decided not to get the shot.

Personally, I've received more than a few vaccines over the years but never a "flu" shot. Just didn't think I needed one and have never had a problem. The only way I'll get this shot is if someone holds me down and forceably injects me ... after which only one of us is leaving the room alive!

[Nomad577]

I tend to agree and I had a similar experience to his

I feel like this whole thing would have been over in this country if not for vaccine hesitancy. It almost seems like some conservatives love this situation because it allows them to fight faux “’tyranny” and makes all the conspiracies seem real

And to the idea “why do vaccinated people care, if it works”, we can’t just have sick dying people everywhere for moral reasons and that it ruins everything for everybody by prolonging this thing

[bray]

Virtue signaling is hard.
