I’m not vaxed or boosted and I have gotten sick a few times but very mild...really just annoying. Others that I know that have been vaxed are having a more difficult time...then they go out and get another booster...totally insane!

The virus is not dodging immune systems. Immune systems have been compromised, and thus become either ineffective or considerably less effective, due to the vaccines.

Right, right - including those who never took the vaccine. This vaccine is quite remarkable in being able to do this to people who have never taken it - just like previously it was found to have the ability to travel through time to create data trends and information that occurred before the vaccine ever even existed!

We are still using vaccines designed for the original variant almost 2.5 years after the start of the pandemic. While they still greatly cut down on hospitalizations and death, they need to be updated to target the current variants.

...I’m sorry but you have NO proof that they worked well and just the fact that they had to change the definition of a vaccine to get them into circulation works against your case... but just keep drinkin the Fauxchi Koolaid, it’s all good for you and just get your quarterly booster so you have NO immune system left. Good luck with that and congrats on your Darwin Award... ymmv

"Except for the fact they worked quite well and saved countless lives. Why does reality, fact, and truth simply not phase some of you?"

How gullible are you. The Scamdemic was a natural outcome of the Pharma industry taking over government via Obamacare. Medicine has been infected with government and government has been infected by Big Pharma and medicine has therefore become a political tool of the government.

A year ago at this time, most of my family was nagging my wife and I to get the shots. They thought we were being foolish and putting our lives in danger over making a political point. We were quietly not invited to family functions like birthday parties, barbeques, etc. Even weddings.

Only our resistance wasn't to make a political point. We simply did not trust these "vaccines" which came out so quickly. Even if Trump was still in the White House and urging these shots, we still wouldn't have taken them.

It also spooked us to see how fervently we were being pressured by the government into getting these so-called vaccinations. Something just seemed off about that. There was no salesmanship involved. It was basically get the shots or we will make it very difficult for you to hold a job, travel or go to any public place.

A year later, virtually every one of my vaccinated family members have come down with COVID. My wife and I continue to be healthy and we have never had the COVID.

It's tempting to go around to these family members to say "I told you so" but what good would that do? They never bring the subject up with us anymore anyhow, probably because they are embarrassed about what they did to us last year.

The worst part of it is that the majority of ‘vaccines’ in use are not effective against the virus, but the spike protein.

It was an asinine public health strategy on its face.

Just yesterday I was under attack for a minor comment supporting more information as I exposed holes in their logic. The jab cheerleaders will continue to combat common sense. Vociferously.

Wait for it...

‘’ I SERIOUSLY expect that a series of new highly virulent and highly infectious SARS-CoV-2 (SC-2) variants will now rapidly and independently emerge in highly vaccinated countries all over the world and that they will soon spread at high pace. I expect the current pattern of repetitive infections and relatively mild disease in vaccinees to soon aggravate and be replaced by severe disease and death.

Unfortunately, there is no way vaccinees can rely on assistance from their innate immune system to protect against coronaviruses as their relevant innate IgM antibodies are increasingly being outcompeted by infection-enhancing vaccinal Abs, which are continuously recalled due to the circulation of highly infectious Omicron variants.

In contrast, Omicron’s high infectiousness would enable the non-vaccinated to train their innate immune defense against SC-2 while the infectious and pathogenic capacity of the new SC-2 variants would be debilitated in the non-vaccinated for lack of infection-enhancing Abs in their blood.

First thing is, conservatives conflate getting covid while vaccinated, with getting seriously ill,hospitalized, or dying.

I do sometimes see stories that the vaccinated are dying from covid, but mostly people go on about catching covid.

The vaccine probably kept many people from dying.

I’m a hybrid. Double vaccinated at the beginning, but no boosters. Had covid in this latest wave and got very sick but no treatment or hospitalization. Actually taking some antibiotic helped with the worst symptoms.

I’m not boosted because of observing side effects in others.

If I had been vaxxed, I’d be furious. These people lied to you.

Is it turning out that vaxxed people are more likely to get sick?

I remember back during the early days of the Ivermectin controversy, Ivermectin proponents would say "Ivermectin works because 99% of the people who take it either don't get Covid or have mild cases." Critics would respond that most people who get Covid and do nothing (this was pre-vaccine) only get mild cases, so there's no proof that Ivermectin works. Well, now the vaccines seem to be in a similar situation.

Because they are not real vaccines?

My daughter had Covid two weeks ago. She is fully vaxed and practically lives in a KN-95 mask. So does her husband. They both had it. She finally tested negative two times in a row so she went back to work. She’s back off again today with another fever. Her immune system seems to be shot.

Neither my husband nor I have been vaxed because we never trusted the shots or believed they would help and most likely hurt. I don’t wear a mask anywhere unless it’s required. I wore one starting out until I realized that everybody around me that was wearing one was getting Covid. Neither of us have had Covid even after being exposed to her for two days before she knew she was positive. That was two weeks ago.

Nothing that the government works this hard to force on you can be in your best interest. Just my opinion. If a person wants to get them, get them.

It’s almost as if the Wuhan virus was purposely engineered.

In my circle, everyone who has been vaccinated and boosted has gotten really sick. And they are sick much more often. Those of us who aren’t vaccinated haven’t gotten sick at all. We still take our vitamin C, D, and zinc and we are perfectly fine.

I was vaccinated in March 2021 with the Pfizer "vaccine". I have not gotten any subsequent boosters, much to my doctor's chagrin. I also take C, D, zinc and quercitin. I have not been sick since I had the flu (officially diagnosed) in March of 2019.

However, a few weeks ago, I had to have an emergency appendectomy. At age 65, it is rather unusual to come down with appendicitis, as it usually strikes before the age of 30. My doctor (the one who pushes vaccines and boosters) said she has had several of her patients over 50 come down with appendicitis. I wonder if these occurrences in older people like myself are vax related?

The majority of people who are infected are the vaccinated. I have still not caught it (not vaccinated), while my wife has (vaccinated).

Blame the virus for the lack of immunity. Never mind it’s the vaccine.

It’s not dodging my immune system, or the zinc, or the vitamin D3, etc.
