I got the most dreaded deadly disease in human history in April last year. I slept it off for a week like a bad chest cold. I have taken no precautions since and have hung around with people who actively had it several times since.
I should have been more clear. I have been around several individuals who have had the disease a single time.
Meh.
Personal opinion- the jab is pretty much nothing and anyone making an issue out of, or refusing to get it, is an idiot. Their body, but to me in the same category as people who worried about fluoride or communists in the State Department back in the 50’s or 60’s...
But then I pretty much dismiss anything said by anyone using the phrase ‘Fake news, ‘Sheeple’, or who thinks the vote of the Electoral college invalid. To be honest I pretty much loath anything even resembling a conspiracy theory and trust my doctor more than anyone who has ever even thought about posting on Free Republic or running for elective office.
I do to, and mine said there was no logical reason to get it, unless you are in a high risk category. In your personal opinion is he an idiot?
That makes sense. Everybody should make their best decision.
My cancer doc (who got COVID himself in March 2020) told me to get the vax so I did.
My doctor said “at least wait for the FDA approval, so you have a defendant to go after” “If you had any comorbids, I’d tell you to consider it, but you’re 63 and you bench press over 300 lbs and run 30 miles a week- what are you worried about?”
How would I know? Your doctor knows you, my doctor knows me.
My doctor told me to get it. I got it. Utterly minor deal, even if it’s some cross between the Tuskegee experiment and receiving the Mark Of The Beast to the tinfoil hat brigade.
Yeeaa...the over the top push to have everyone get the poke is perplexing; I don't think it's that bad, though. At least you got yours for medical reasons. I can respect that, even if I don't agree 100%.
I am always going to go with what the majority of experts (and in this case I am going to consider that to be people with a medical degree who have postdoctoral study in epidemiology and published, peer-reviewed research. The opinions of anyone without at the very minimum a MD being fit only for ridicule) say.
Yeah, I worked in the medical industry for 17 years. From personal experience, I don’t have such a high opinion of the “experts”.
