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.
Take the shot for covid and wear a mask; don’t get covid.
But the covid shot doesn’t cover the next mutation; must wear a mask.
Don’t take the shot for covid and wear a mask; don’t get covid.
Don’t take the shot for covid and don’t wear a mask; don’t get covid.
Don’t worry about the flu, since the flu and covid have been rolled into covid.
But then maybe I should worry about the flu; take the flu shot.
But the flu shot doesn’t cover the next mutation.
Get both a covid shot and a flu shot.
Big pharma is busy rubbing its palms together; take the shots - yes!!
What to do..what to do. It’s pretty simple for me. I prefer not to play the game.
“I am keeping an eye on the J&J vaccine.”
Me too but ppl are dying with that one too. I’m waiting for clearer patterns to emerge and seeing what can be done in preparation to minimize risk.
When they come out with a real vaccine that has been thoroughly tested and trialed that my doctor says is OK and not this untested poison, I might. Until then, NO! She is not advising it and neither is my husband’s doctor.
Just Say No
“Maybe they are worried that the science was rushed – it wasn’t.”
This is not true. Like a lot of people pushing for mass vaccinations, the author states things unequivocally that just aren’t true. It was called Operation Warp Speed for a reason. Given the survival rate, why are mass vaccinations being pushed so hard and yet treatments are being forcefully downplayed, even smeared (Ivermectin, HCQ)?
This is an unapproved, experimental vaccine. Good luck.
The Author can take it. I will not.
*******
So far that is still your right.
Both my son's were vaccinated when they were 0ne year old and when ever my husband was transferred to Germany and we went with him the Army made sure our shots were up to date.
Our daughter never got the vaccination though, because she came down with Meningitis when she was 7 month old. She was a very sick child, but she had a good doctor. She was 3 month in the hospital. My husband thanked her doctor when she was released from the hospital.
She did never get the vaccination, because patients could not get it when they were ill 12 month prior, or when they just had a scratch on their skin. The vaccination was stopped than anyway
Welcome to the new usa.
**********
Don’t know about new, but for sure regulations are increasing
upon the populace as time passes. Has been that way for awhile.
The point is not a PRO or CON vaccination it is simply that we can no longer trust our government or the news media to be honest.
As I understand it, we do not need 100% vaccinated, just a certain percentage (herd immunity). So let it be a personal choice. If they choose wrong they may catch the virus, or not, but it should be their choice.
What for? I feel like I am in prison because my son does not let me go with him when he goes grocery shopping for us.
Do you drive and have a car? If so get in it and
go where you please. Most places are open for in
store shopping, etc.
Absolutely am not taking that shot.
As for Jenny McCarthy-—WHEN you have an Autistic kid-—then you form your own conclusions.
Mercury was an ingredient in those shots-—
ALSO-—WHY are we giving our kids today shots for 43 different things before they are even at puberty??? DENGE FEVER ??? WHY? YELLOW FEVER??? WHY???
You should never tell people what do do. If your advice causes death or injury you will have that on your conscience.
Yup! New drugs require several trials to be approved. “Phase III” is the largest, and last, and is designed specifically to detect long-term issues.
Phase III requirements were waived by the FDA for these vaccines, under “Emergency Use.” Emergency Use can only be granted if no other treatments are available. Cough* Ivermectin Cough * HCQ...Oh, and you can’t sue the vax manufacturers. They are exempt, of course. And paid a gazillion by Uncle Sugar.
Websearch “”virus Europe Narcolepsy.” Go ahead. Here, I’ve made it easy:

AS for forcing a horse to drink-—
I HAVE horses-—have had for over 35 years.
I CANNOT force them to drink, but I certainly can trigger it...with a small amount of NON-IODINE salt into their lower lip. Been there-—Done that...
Let's see the mid-range effects of the Covid vaccines before I pump some into my arm.
(I'm 63 - not worried about "long-term" effects)
Downloaded and analyzing now. Lots of inconclusive reports like "Found deceased in her home, unknown cause, 6 days after vaccine.... Per employee health records HTN, DM, Breast CA 2016 with radiation, obesity, gastric sleeve 10 years ago, arthritis, plantar fasciitis, ankle tendonitis, DeQuarvains, carpal tunnel, anxiety".
I doubt the 500x number but it's very likely that COVID shots are more deadly than fliu shots. Maybe 10x.
