    The problem of making vaccinations voluntary is that although most kids completely recover from measles, mumps and rubella their are some that have serious negative outcomes including those that are immunocomprimised or otherwise more likely to experience negative outcomes from those viral infections. Should parents who refuse to vaccinate their kids expose someone else's kid who is undergoing chemotherapy for cancer to the possibility of measles?

    They don't care about others who disagree. I believe it is one of the maga commandments. No empathy for anyone who refuses to lick the skidmark. Off with their heads

    Immunocompromised is general a term for people suffering from vicious cancer treatments.

    See I think we have a right to our own opinions no matter how stupid they are, but you don’t have a right to your own facts. Back to the ignore list with you.

    LOL!

    The facts are coming out. As I cited.

    If your opinion is you want to cause unnecessary inflammation by taking the Covid shot. By all means. But the evidence is clear.

    Giving only half the information leads to half-ass assumptions and incorrect inconclusions. For example, while yes, the vaccine can cause myocarditis in mostly young males, without comparing the rate of myocarditis from infection, you can't compare what is safer. And when you look at myocarditis from infection, the answer is young males are 11X more likely to get myocarditis from infection than from the vaccine, leading to a much, MUCH larger chance of MIS-C during infection, and scarring post-infection.

    MIS-C was responsible for the majority of hospitalizations from COVID for people under 30. So knowing that the vaccine reduces the chances of myocarditis by a factor of 11, do you still not recommend the vaccine because of the much smaller chance of myocarditis scarring from the vaccine?

    If you are an intelligent public health professional, you recommend the vaccine. Over the entire young male population, if vaccinated, you will have a smaller number of myocarditis cases, smaller number of MIS-C cases, and smaller number of long term scarring. In other words, among the overall population, you will have better health outcomes.

    Easy I’ve explained over and again, endless bilge oozing from a fraudulent diagnostic and creative data-management.

    I got one vax and it leveled my ass worse than the actual covid I got a few months later!

    This is expected. The vaccine was the first time your body experienced COVID and produced antibodies for the virus. By the time the actual virus found you, your body was ready and fought it off much quicker than had you never been exposed to the vaccine. It's likely that without your vaccine, your exposure to the virus would have leveled your ass much more than it did.

    It was your immune system kicking in!

    Translation: it was your body’s reaction to the trauma which was the shot and happily you recovered.

    Last Spring I sprayed my lawn with unicorn repellent. It’s still a little patchy. But it would be much worse had I not sprayed.

    My wife and I 71 and 72 have taken all the covid shots available. At our last Dr visit our primary said she wouldn’t take another at our age since covid has become like the flu. She said the possible side effects out weigh the benefits. First time any doctor has told us that.

    It’s very simple. A fraudulent diagnostic was the only thing that ever sustained to perception of a deadly pandemic. Now that testing is way down and therefore “cases” way down, we imagine the fictitious pathogen has lost its sting.

    Oh, good gosh. Another Covid bashing post. I will stipulate to your view that taking the Covid vaccine was a public health position from the government. Some people didn’t take it and got Covid. Some people took it and got Covid. Some people took it and have no idea if they got Covid.

    Since we are in FAFO lifestyles, burn it all down mode…

    Some people should die. They make dumb decisions and are a burden on society and insurance pools. You want to get hooked on drugs, that is your problem. You get duped by a proscribing physician, get a second opinion. You poor, go to your church and ask for a hand out.

    Gut Obamacare and let insurance reject pre-existing conditions. Do it.

    Let’s go all in on FAFO personal responsibilities and taking care of your own nuclear family. Don’t make me pay for your dingleberries producing children when you shouldn’t.

    The most common symptom of Covid:

    “I feel fine.”

    And likely saved your life by building up your immunity before you had to face it. Odd how those realities seem to get lost in partisan blinders
