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.

yeah, Mrs. Pfizer, if there’s one thing about us ‘conservatives,’ it’s that we sure are a very easy mark for propaganda, fake news, and big med, and big education.

which is probably why you think anyone here isn’t laughing you to scorn.

“The reason for getting a booster is that immunity to coronaviruses drops significantly within months after vaccination or disease.”

The vax and boosters do not prevent the virus from replicating, they dont prevent infection or give any immunity.

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

It doesn’t “remind” your immune system of anything. It tricks it into reacting as if there’s a serious infection. The only reason it has any effectiveness at all for a few short weeks or days is because your immune system is creating antibodies to fight an active infection.

“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.”

2 weeks is not immunity. If you want to stress out your immune system every few months by injecting synthetic MRNA nanoparticles which cause your body to create antigens which attach to healthy cells for your immune system to destroy as a “reminder” of how to fight a virus that can easily be treated by much safer methods, by all means, keep going.

“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”

What a pantload. The left is pushing the injections. Quit trying to rationalize your decision with nonsense.

Hadn’t noticed that. Nice pickup. The proper word, if course, was “declined”, but the author is probably a pro-vexxatiination Uber Karen or Man-Karen, thus the scolding tone.

I refused the last booster. And the one before that. And the one before that. In fact, I refused every covid shot. And the flu shot. And the RSV shot. And the shingles shot. And everything else peddled by the CDC and Big Pharma.

The CDC is doing a push poll about this. Mrs Submariner just told them see wasn’t interested in talking to them. They call again today.

It turns out that you got a vaccine made by a different process than the one released to the public. The public ones weren’t actually tested. Glad you survived the study.

A guy at our ship reunion last month got the two Moderna shots and then four boosters. He was just getting over COVID. I said, “Well, that is how it is supposed to work. You get the shots and then the disease.”

Really? Do a search for one Jessica Wilson, a mother of two from Seattle. Then update your post based on the real world.

Biden will buy the expired vials from Pfizer, and give them to Hunter to sell to the Ukrainians.

That vaccine is poison and was designed to murder people while keeping plausible deniability intact.

They don’t need to push you onto trains and say they are taking you to safety anymore to murder people in large numbers.

A Pareto distribution. Excellent.

We just declined Mom’s Covid shot after consulting with her. (We are the “responsible parties” for her residence at the AL center.) She was comfortable with a flu vaccine, so we went with that.

Origin of COVID-19: The Biggest Cover Up in Medical History
PETER C. GØTZSCHE OCTOBER 9, 2023

Science is about probabilities. When I consider the odds for the various possible explanations, I have no doubt that the pandemic was caused by a lab leak in Wuhan and that the virus was manufactured there.

The cover-up of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is the worst in medical history. This will stand as a pillar of shame in the coming centuries.

Conclusions:
COVID-19 is the pandemic that should never have occurred. It is deeply concerning that the WHO and our governments have not yet called for a ban on this highly dangerous playing with fire research that hasn’t led to anything of use but to the death of over 7 million people.

Science is about probabilities. When I consider the odds for the various possible explanations, I have no doubt that the pandemic was caused by a lab leak in Wuhan and that the virus was manufactured there.
The cover-up of the origin of SARS-CoV-2 is the worst in medical history. This will stand as a pillar of shame in the coming centuries.

The shot givers have been pushing a flu shot for the last 2+ weeks of Sep and most of this month.

The flu shots lose any effectiveness at about 30% per post month/30 days after your flu shot.

If we even have a flu epidemic in California, it usually shows up about a week after Thanksgiving. Then, it will get in high gear in early to late January. By then your flu shot might be 10-30% effective.

So called Covid Vaccines have about the same failure rate as the flu shots, each month after the shots. If you had a variant in the last year or so, you probably have better protection than this year’s shot and miss B$! We are hearing about patient costs in pharmacies of just under $200 for this year’s supposed Covid injection.
