    You will get there. Until then. Feel free to pay the increased cost of taking the shots.

    On a side note. I truly do hope you decide not to have your kids take anymore of these shots.

    There is a reason no one is taking them anymore. Unfortunately a few are still caught up in the propaganda.

    Didn't answer the question. If the vaccine has extremely low chance of side effects, and lowers the risk of a severe case, why shouldn't I get boostered?

    Follow advice like yours, and we shouldn't wear seat belts. Sear belts don't prevent accidents from happening. LEOs shouldn't wear vests either, and they don't prevent officers from being shot.

    Crashes are real. Viruses are not.

    You answered your own question; “If the vaccine has extremely low chance of side effects” is at a minimum a debatable premise. Personally I feel that I am being overly generous with “debatable” but that’s me.

    You'd think at least the huge wealth transfer would be enough to get the lefties feathers ruffled

    Over 5.5 billion people in the world have been vaccinated for COVID. If there were a serious risk of side effect, we would be seeing daily issues. Go ahead and debate.

    We are seeing daily issues. The problem is the steadfast denial that they may be attributed to vaccines.

    Over a period of months I have posted links and charts regarding staggering excess deaths in highly vaccinated countries. Prove that this is not caused by vaccines.

    So prove a negative. Good luck. What we do know? There have been an unfortunate rise in suicide attempts in recent years. There has also been a significant uptick in drug overdoses. There has even been an uptick in traffic fatalities. Now, unless you can link all of these to the vaccine, the increase in excess deaths are likely due to other causes. Again, if the vaccine causes specific issues, with over 5.5 billion vaccinated, we'd be seeing cases upon cases every hour of specific side effects. We aren't.

    Don’t worry, just give it 10 to 15 years and we will according to these nutters, LOL! It’s painful trying to watch people who have no background in science or medicine try to justify their beliefs despite all the evidence to the contrary. For the record, adverse reactions to shots almost always happen within minutes of getting the vaccine, or at the worst, a few days later. Shit isn’t going to creep up all these years later and get you, that’s not how it works at all, lol.

    You missed the irony, didn’t you ? For months now the common defense against my perspective on viruses has been “Prove that viruses don’t exist!”

    Arguably, all excess deaths can be attributed to the way the world has reacted to the amplified and unfounded fear of contagion.

    I don’t have to blame all excess deaths on vaccines in order to point out that suicides and traffic deaths cannot account for more than a fraction of them.

    You could run their noses in it like a puppy that pooped in the house and they would still refuse to recognize that it is there because the world “stats” aren’t talking about it.

    World Stats - “Yes, excess deaths are staggeringly high in many highly-vaccinated countries. But it’s not vaccines, you Trumpers!!!”

    I also forgot to add, people are still dying from COVID. About 1,700 a week here in the US. These would be considered excess, especially comparing a time period pre-COVID. And while the vaccine lowers your odds of dying from COVID, it's not a cure and does not protect 100%.

    And wonder while the world isn't talking about the vaccine causing excess deaths? Because it's not happening. With 5.5 billion people vaccinated, if the vaccine were causing issues, we'd say cases of said issue(s) on a daily basis. I also find it impossible to believe that doctors who swear an oath not to do any harm, and research scientists who spend entire careers looking for the truth would all be ignoring any obvious signals that the vaccine is causing massive issues on any scale.

    Or maybe it's all a giant conspiracy, and Trump is still President, fighting JFK and JFK Jr., who along with the lizard people, who are the ones truly pulling the strings!o_O

    LOL!

    Even a doctor would recommend the things you are trying to compare to a shot that does not work and has safety signals. Doctors today are not recommending the shots. Hence so few are taking then and sadly following bad guidance from Public health officials that have shown they are clueless in dealing with this disease.

    Nobody is dying from a fictitious pathogen. On the other hand, excess deaths on the order of 1.2 million, since 2020, are the result of panic and despair stemming from a stupendous lie.
