Looks like significant possibility of getting (and spreading) COVID after six months and serious numbers by nine months. Still think we did the right thing because it ought to decrease the severity when we do get it - and we ARE going to get it because it’s endemic now. There are two types of people out there - those who are going to get it and those who are going to die of something else before they get it. The ‘I’m gonna hide in the basement until this goes away’ option just isn’t there.

But nobody knows with certainty what the future holds. Jumping on people because they hold a different opinion doesn’t make you a hero, merely intolerant. They may be right, nobody has done a five year follow up on these vaccines. I’ve bet the other way and I’d do the same again, but I’m not so arrogant I believe they CAN’T be right, just because I see it differently.

And vaccine fir kids? Still a lot harder call yet.

Please take your time reading these articles and medical journals, they may have bigger words than the ‘articles’ you are used to seeing on your Facebook wall.



“minimal testing” false.

https://www.fda.gov/media/144245/download

Tens of thousands were included in clinical trials. Numbers extremely comparable to other clinical trial studies in other vaccine development. You are either ignorant or willfully lying.



”experimental vaccine” false.

https://www.fda.gov/emergency-prepar...vid-19-vaccine

FDA granted full approval of multiple covid vaccines. Nothing is experimental, that is the purpose of the clinical trials. You’d know this, if you knew anything about how vaccines are tested and approved.



”rushed through without approval” false.

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.hop...act%3famp=true

More like massively funded and historicity fast information-sharing between companies and medical researchers.



”unproven drug” false.

All these outright lies… for what? What do you gain from this? What do you have against modern medicine? People get mislead by clowns like you and can literally die as a consequence.

Again, I have no idea why people so dutifully spread misinformation, especially when it can cost lives. Why do you think people get so riled up against anti-vaxxers? Same reason people get fired up at flat-earthers. You’re sitting there, with zero training or expertise on the topic, claiming the sky is green and grass is blue…. And that everyone who disagrees is wrong or lying.

And naturally, much like a flat-earther, any evidence that is presented that goes against your opinion must be a ‘conspiracy’ or ‘lying media’, ‘business interest’, etc.

Maybe it’s just me, but if I was wrong about something, and someone proved me wrong, I would learn from it instead of dig my feet in the sand and getting mad about it.

To think that in 2021, any part of our population actually believes these vaccines are more dangerous to their health than a well-studied virus with a historically high mortality rate and a massive amount of victims of all ages, is insane to me.

The last few pages are just embarrassing and disrespectful to medical professionals.
