You can’t force a horse to drink water, and at least we shouldn’t talk about forcing people to get vaccines, but the horse should drink and everyone should get a vaccine. Vaccines have saved countless lives and increasingly enable our urban lifestyles by reducing or nearly wiping out spreadable diseases. Things like Polio, mumps, and smallpox have been nearly eradicated and if they were to pop up someplace, we are largely safe from a widespread pandemic from them because of vaccines. However, despite the history and the present evidence of their effectiveness – there is a large cohort of individuals that are still reluctant to take a vaccine.
In some ways – this is understandable if someone hasn’t done any research.
Maybe they listened to Jenny McCarthy and therefore believe that vaccines cause autism – they don’t. Maybe they are worried about putting a chemical into themselves – but we eat processed foods. Maybe they are worried that the science was rushed – it wasn’t. Maybe they are just worried about a needle – they shouldn’t be.
Jenny McCarthy’s crusade against vaccines was based on the inclusion of a preservative in many vaccines at the time – Thimerosal. Her contention, and her follower’s reasoning, was that Thimerosal caused autism. It didn’t – and doesn’t – and study after study after study proved that, but her crusade led many kids to be left unvaccinated and therefore some of those to come down with perfectly preventable illnesses.
One of the points of “Proof” they Jenny and her army put forward was a seeming correlation between vaccines and autism, but anyone that has taken a statistics class understands the problems with correlations. For instance, it appears that whenever Nicholas Cage is in a movie – that drownings in a pool increase. Now, if someone can prove that Cage’s appearances and the drownings are causal – and directly causal to Nicholas Cage – then maybe we should try to talk to him about not appearing in any more movies. But, we know that it just isn’t causal and just happens to an interesting and morbid correlational coincidence.
The same goes for people that think “injecting toxins” into their body is a problem – the science just doesn’t support this. There are lots of good things that we can inject into our bodies – and lots of things that we put into our bodies by choice that probably aren’t so good. Between the air that we breathe, the detergents that we use, the processing of the foods we eat, and even the additives in the water that we drink, this objection doesn’t hold up either. The “Chemicals” that are being injected are like good germs vs bad germs. Yes, there are plenty of bacteria in the world that are bad for you, but there are many that are good for you too. In fact, we likely have more bacteria living inside of us than we do cells. So, on a population basis we are more bacteria than ourselves.
What is being injected is a tool that our bodies can use to fight whatever disease the vaccine was intended for. For instance, the Pfizer vaccine basically has messenger RNA, sugar, and salt. The RNA is there to give your body the instructions it needs to fight COVID-19 and the rest is there to transport it and make it injectable. I have had glasses of water with worse ingredients.
And lastly, there are those that are worried that the science was hurried. This is an interesting category because when we look at those that aren’t taking the vaccine there are more Trump supporters than Democrats that are currently refusing to take the vaccine – so either there are more Trump supporters that also believe Jenny McCarthy or while they supported Trump they didn’t actually believe him. Either way, they would be wrong when looking at this vaccine. While this vaccine was allowed to reach market sooner than some other vaccines, it was actually developed in early 2020 almost right after the pandemic was discovered. The time in between – almost a year – was spent testing to make sure that what was known scientifically was also true in practice. Furthermore, the research for an RNA vaccine had actually been going on for a longtime before the pandemic, and was a mature research area. The idea of the vaccine wasn’t novel, it was just this specific application, fighting COVID-19, that was novel.
For my family this isn’t an issue, we are vaccinated or plan to be vaccinated. And, I don’t truly care what your family decides. However, please don’t make a decision for you, your spouse, or your kids based on bad information, prior issues, or fear. Do your research. I am confident that it will lead to getting the vaccine – making sure that you and your family are safe and help the rest of use get back to normal faster – as well as not pay your hospital bills if you get sick.
Vaccines are safe. Ignorance isn’t.
After the serious negative reactionS my body had to the flu vaccine 2 1/2 years ago, I will likely avoid taking this new vaccine for at least a year or two until I see what the longer-term results are.
The most dangerous part of the Covid Vaccination is driving to and from the site!”
That was true a couple of months ago, and is even truer today.
I used to drive, but don’t anymore. I made my drivers license in 1967 when my husband was in Vietnam. I passed the test, but had to come back again because at that time they didn’t take checks, only cash. My husband tried to teach me to drive in Germany with standard shift but couldn’t do it. (He called me an idiot, LOL. But when we brought me to the states on September 25, 1966 we bought a 1966 Chevrolet Impala Convertible that he had ordered in Germany.
Yup. Conditioning... and the unwashed morons in this country crave the nanny state telling them how to live their lives. Look at the jerks wearing masks walking through the park or driving down the highway. These assholes have no self awareness. They plod through life like drones.
Besides when they do that test they push that swap up your nose to your brain and no way will I allow them to do that to me. Besides being quarantined it’s impossible to catch it.
Dang, that would be a NICE car to have today!
They’ve lied to you this entire time, and now you want to trust them?
They’ve already said as well that variants are rolling out that the vaccine has no effect on. It’s all one big game to them, and the end result is complete control.
20’s here. Why should I take an experimental vaccine for a flu that kills almost no one my age?
Great chart on twitter showing deaths after all vaccines and as bad as it is, the reality is even worse because the chart includes all vaccines beginning in Jan. 2020 so it includes 62 weeks of all vaccines and only the 12 weeks that covid vaccines have been administered. Also, it only goes through March 11 when covid after vax deaths were at 1,739. Current CDC update as of March 22 is 2,213.

Problem is that they could be just as deceitful in discouraging taking the Vaccine.
That way they get to say we have to stay closed up, there is no argument against “science” when they get to claim you are a kook for distrusting a vaccine.
If current research is that the vaccines still provide some protection, https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama/fullarticle/2776542
Then the argument that we are “overwhelming the system” by going back to normal by opening up becomes a sham scientific argument.
“20’s here. Why should I take an experimental vaccine for a flu that kills almost no one my age?”
None/Zero/Nada of our family members under 55 has nor will take these vaccines. One 20 something relative, just finished a 10 pm to 10 am shift as an ICU nurse with a lot of Covid patients in the unit.
All of us older than 70 have taken the vaccines and are still alive.
We don’t to die without our families in an ICU laying on our bellies and costing our survivors a ton of money while dying.
Or worse, getting transferred to a nursing home to die, like the mother of one of our DIL’s did last year, then dying by her self. That nursing home became a hospice. She was put on morphine and Ativan until she stopped breathing.
COVID simply isn’t that big a deal for the vast majority.
That must be her IQ.
The jury is out. We'll see over the next few years.
I knew two. Another is on his way out and the wife of one of the guys who died had transient global amnesia. I know enough to not make my own determination of causality, but it does make you scratch your head.

I decided it made somewhat more sense for me to get the vaccination. So far I have had one shot (Moderna), and zero problems. I would have preferred a non-mRNA vaccine, but took what I could get.

Got a link to prove that? I have seen nothing about people dying from the J&J shot.
Another very interesting chart. This one is an animated unpublished VAERS chart. Author says it will be updated later today.

Wow. If this is correct, VAERS is tens of thousands of reports behind.
The reason I find this theory plausible is that the European database now has more than 100,000 reports for the @pfizer vaccine alone - even though it has been given far more in the US.

“VAERS UNDER-PUBLISHING. Another attempt to visualize massive scale of unpublished adverse events. The way they are filling in old reports as catch-up seems like shoveling snow with a spoon. Rate of new reports rapidly outpacing catch-up. We can’t learn from what we can’t see.”

They want people to take it, then just like the late 70s in China, people will start dropping after taking it. It might take a few years, but that will be the result.
