I am not impugning your right to choose to be vaccinated or not, and I already expressed my concerns about the long term side effects of the vaccine. You are right to question and I fully support your right to remain unvaccinated. This is a site for Freedom-loving Republicans, but sadly too many members insist on reposting stuff from the conspiracy kooks like Alex Jones, which confirms what the Leftists choose to believe about us.

There is a difference between saying “I don’t want to be vaccinated, because I have doubts about the efficacy and safety of the vaccine” and shrieking “Vaccines are POISON and they want to murder us all!” The first is a rational proclamation of one’s fundamental freedom and the other is the ranting of an unhinged, paranoid loon.

However, my suggestion has somehow inflamed some FReepers’ delicate sensibilities and are now attacking me with pearl-clutching hubris and “how dare you!” outrage. I just don’t want to be associated with the loons.

I’ve got no beef with you making the best decision for you and how you see fit. I’m not trying to argue with you, just pointing out how someone can look at the same set of facts and draw a vastly different conclusion.

I really wish everyone could just be left to make up their own mind without any coercion or censorship. Now I am not accusing you of that at all...but folks are upset because their freedom to choose not to vax is being directly attacked by pro-vax interests. The fact is that the only real meaningful coercion and censorship happens to be coming from the side that agrees with your position. Are you taking a stand against that? If so, then you and I are good.

Stuff it, troll.

Those opposed to the jabs are quoting for peer reviewed journals like the Lancet, the New England Journal of Medicine, the British Medical Journal, Science, Nature, and Circulation.

Nobody believes your lying propaganda anymore.
