The weird thing is that after spending months pushing the vaccine, the Dems are now trying to discredit it
Yeah, that is weird. I was initially skeptical of the vaccine when I saw how fast they were pushing it through. But when my mom was diagnosed with cancer I got the Pfizer vaccine so I could take care of her with a lower risk of infecting her. So far no ill effects. I am in my early 30's, so according to the anti-vaxxers I should be having a cytokine storm right about now. My dad (mid-60s) got Moderna. Again no ill effects.
It never ceases to amaze me how many Freepers are willing to forgo one of the greatest accomplishments of the Trump presidency, one that Trump himself received.
I didn’t have any problem with the vaccine either, and the vast majority of people don’t...although I can see a principled objection to being forced to take it, especially for a disease with a 99.8% survival rate for people under 70 and even in people over that age, was lethal mostly to people over 80 who already had under a one-year life expectancy (because of other problems, such as Alzheimers, heart failure, etc.).
However, I don’t have any general objections to vaccines, I figured it wasn’t likely to be much more lethal than the many other vaccines I have had during my life, and if it kept people happy, fine.
But just today...Fauci came out and said we’ll all need a third shot and Pfizer said they’re preparing a “booster” for the fall.
This is insane and out of control.
All viral diseases mutate, and that’s why the flu shot is offered every year. They choose the two most prevalent flu viruses in Europe, which is the vector pattern for flu (moving from East to West), and develop a vaccine based on those. Sometimes it’s effective, sometimes not. I’m sure there are probably some adverse reactions, but we never hear about them. An adverse reaction is always possible with any vaccine.
But this creation of hysteria about a relatively mild disease on the one hand and the creation of fear about the fairly ordinary vaccine on the other, topped off by the announcement that we are all going to “need” another dose, is illogical and completely nuts.
