Over 80 Percent of Americans Refused the Last COVID Booster: Study
Epoch Times ^ | 10/9/2023 | Mary Gillis

Posted on 10/09/2023 6:48:21 PM PDT by george76

Despite health authorities' continued push for people to stay up to date on boosters, public interest appears to be waning. A recent study reveals why...

Most Americans eligible for a COVID-19 bivalent booster chose not to get it, and researchers say they now know why.

Previous research found that over 80 percent of Americans eligible for the booster decided against it. A new survey administered between February 13 and March 29 of nearly 2,200 Arizona respondents, averaging 53 years old, revealed why those who chose to forgo the booster did so in the fall of 2022.

Those who shied away from the shot reported doing so for five main reasons. Nearly 40 percent said they had already been infected with the COVID-19 virus. Over 30 percent were concerned about vaccine side effects, and 28.6 percent felt the bivalent booster would not provide more protection than the doses they had already received. About 23 percent were either concerned about vaccine safety or believed the extra dose would not protect against a COVID-19 infection. Twelve percent said they didn't think the booster would protect them against severe disease or death.

...

Side Effects..

The COVID-19 vaccine is known to be associated with several—albeit rare—side effects, including anaphylaxis, which occurs in approximately five cases per 1 million doses. Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) after COVID-19 vaccination is also a known side effect. GBS is a neuromuscular disorder resulting in damaged nerve cells that can then cause muscle weakness and sometimes paralysis.

Additionally, myocarditis and pericarditis after COVID-19 vaccination may also occur. Myocarditis is inflammation of the heart muscle itself, while pericarditis is inflammation of the heart's outer lining. Data show males in their late teens through early 20s are most susceptible to the condition, and it is most likely to occur after a second dose of the vaccine.

Thrombosis with thrombocytopenia syndrome (TTS) (which causes blood clots) after COVID-19 vaccination has been observed but is more closely related to the J&J COVID vaccine.

It is not so much a refusal as a case of IDGAF and won’t be tested nor jabbed nor controlled by the communists.

The reason for getting a booster is that immunity to coronaviruses drops significantly within months after vaccination or disease. This is true of coronaviruses that cause the common cold as well as Covid.

The vaccine is an extremely safe way to “remind” your immune system on how to fight Covid. You do not want to catch Covid.

I’ve had the vaccine series with two boosters, and then an “updated” booster. I plan to get the newest booster next month, in time for holiday travel. Immunity reaches its peak 1-2 weeks after a booster and will remain strong for a few weeks.

Don’t believe the antivax fearmongers. There is a reason why they want you to refuse vaccination, and it isn’t because those leftists care about your health.

Maybe folks are waking up? I know folks where I worked before I retired said they would never take another jab. Air Force pilots.

Pharmacology is toxicology.
Do the dangers outweigh the benefits?
Okay, it is a trick question.

Unfortunately, it has been shown by recently completed small study there is a strong likelihood that Covid shots have deranged the portion of our immune system called IgG 1 thru 4. Apparently after the second shot IgG3 which is the most effective virus fighter among the 4 is wiped out. After the 3rd vaccine the IgG4 segment which started at less than 1% of the total IgG system before any vaccine had increased to an average close to 20% of the IgG system. Unfortunately, for almost 1/4th of the participants, their IgG4s were around 50% of the total. It was this portion of the study participants that became sick from Covid. With multiple shots of the same vaccine, IgG4 becomes disinterested in the agent it is shot with. So with the best virus fighting part of of the IgG system gone, and the now least effective portion a significant percentage of the total, the immune system is seriously weakened. Now Canada is reporting the discovery that a high proportion of their vaccine users have significant loss of immune function.

More and large research studies need to be done on exactly how, and how much these vaccines affect the various portions of our immune system. We must demand such studies be started immediately. No more Fauci type pandering to the big drug companies and their bottom line. More of the taxpayer’s money should be spent on pure research that speaks to our interests rather than those of fat cat corporate fixers and scammers.

Several valuable studies, often in countries not controlled by our big money drug companies have proven that simple low cost items like zinc, Vitamins D4 and C, as well as low cost widely used medicines like HCQ and Ivermectin when used together can greatly improve the likelihood of surviving Covid and generally enhancing our immune system strength to fight not only Covid but other ills like Cancer and Diabetes.

Sounds like you’re probably getting the saline along with your Pfizer Cheerleader stipend. No one “needs” these crapshots. No one dies from not getting these Jabs, but more than 12,000 deaths and 80,000 serious adverse effects have been reported to VAERS since Dec2020. The Covid Treatment Protocol, Ventilators, toxic antivirals like Remsdvir and the Covid inoculates, are killing and maiming people. You can’t be that clueless at this point in the Game, so thanks for chiming in and reinforcing my already low opinion of your Infx Medicine/Magic Mutating Cootie specialty. Fauci would be proud!

People are slowly wising up to the fact that the COVID vaccine isn't ”one of the greatest achievements of mankind.”

No. Just no. I had Covid (Flu) twice since 2020. The first time was pretty rough. The second time was like a bad cold. No one is injecting an MRNA who knows what into my body.

I’m curious what you think people say about refusing the ‘vaccine’.
