    this makes no sense & summarizes (1 of) your weird biases over the last 2 years. This could be an arg for taking the vaccine. You are & have been very biased toward risks from doing something vs. risks from doing nothing. this is 1 of many reasons you just sound - to me - goofily political.

    The disease is of little to no risk to healthy people. The shot has a known risk factor. The shot does not stop one from getting the disease. We do not give shots just to give shots. Well with this one we attempted to coerce people to take a shot they did not need. If the shot enhances your chance of blood clots and Covid enhances your chance at blood clots. You better have a good reason to have someone take a shot for the said disease. And considering the shot fails to stop Covid. Increasing one’s chances of an event sure seems like a bad idea if you are at no real risk from the disease.

    It really is criminal what some of these idiots in public health and medicine did. They completely ignored medicine and science. And continue to do so.

    While admittedly the exception:
    Though young and healthy, unvaccinated father dies of COVID
    And by the way.
    Covid-19 is killing more people now than during most of the pandemic. Here's who's still at risk
    And let's not forget this:
    Mortality Higher in Myocarditis After Virus Than After COVID Vax

    WOW. You got nothing. Look how easy this is. You just restated your bias for the nth time. Congrats

    The vaccine is of little to no risk to heathy people. Covid has a known risk.

    Your first article is exactly what you say it is. An outlier to the norm for a severe outcome to the disease. The disease is not that dangerous to young healthy people.

    The second is just not believable. We have the hard data from England that completely contradicts the reports we got out of this country with no data. It is criminal this country never gave the true hard numbers of vaccinated vs unvaccinated. There were a few reports from local sources that provided ways to back track the numbers and just about everyone showed the majority of deaths were “fully vaccinated” once a majority of the country was “fully vaccinated”.

    The third is likely another junk study that I can’t get access to.

    You don’t give a shot that has a risk to someone who has little to no risk from a disease.

    You want the shot. Go for it.

    this what happens when you resort to propaganda & emotion.

    you give a shot to someone when it poses little to no risk to them.


    Btw, I’m just showing you that you are shooting blanks. I’ve never argued for the vaccine. I don’t just don’t lose my mind over minuscule probabilities

    It is the antithesis of medicine and science to do what we did. And it will take a long time to fix the damage.

    You keep listening to the main stream media/cdc for your healthcare advice if you wish. Doctors unfortunately have it much tougher now as they have to actually consider if the cdc is reliable. Truly unfortunate. And the few that caused this…criminal if you ask me. Unfortunately they will not be held accountable most likely.

    It should infuriate you the damage done and the damage that continues to be done.

    We destroyed people’s careers. Destroyed peoples lives. And we continue to ignore medicine and science. The cdc is a joke and needs to be overhauled if not destroyed and rebuilt under a new name.

    Doesn’t matter. He’ll just keep repeating the same ole “generational damage” tripe over and over and over again. His stamina is remarkable actually. He’s seriously been doing this for several hundred pages now.

    LOL fear!

    I am going to continue to call out terrible public health and the ignoring of science and medicine as long as it persists. I had and have moved on from Covid long ago…

    We cannot let this disastrous response ever happen again. And we have yet to even stop it.

    You are misinterpreting the data from England, despite being corrected on it multiple times.

    Simply not true. The vaccine does reduce the risk of infection, thought it does wane after a few months. Still, a few months of increased protection is far better than none. And the vaccine does reduce the severity of a covid infection, which saves lives.

    Having recently had covid, it kicked my ass. For about 5 days I was about as sick as I'd ever been. I had been meaning to get the bivalent booster in the previous few weeks, but I kept putting it off. I sure did regret it. Even just a small reduction in severity would have been a big deal for me, and for many people, the booster is what kept them out of the hospital. I will definitely be getting boosted a couple times a year going forward as long as covid continues.
