    I don't trust you. You have zero data supporting your idiotic theories. And all the data tells me this. I do trust my doctor, and the 90% of doctors that support COVID vaccination. Plus the CDC recommendations, who consist of doctors too.

    LOL!!!!!

    Your doctor is in the minority if they are still pushing these shots. And you know it. Doctors are not supporting these shots anymore. Just look at the vaccination rates!

    LOL! You are so played!

    Prove it! Show links where a majority of doctors aren't supporting the shots. Or like everything else, all you have is your opinion and nothing to support it! Like the belief that the COVID vaccine is the only one that causes serious side effects?!?

    “And the number #1 reason doctors recommend the shots” *Steve Harvey voice* …

    DING! “Fired if they don’t is correct!”

    Interesting NY Times article. About 3/4 of the way through they say (recent ) deaths were overestimated by 1/3rd. They sneak in ‘recent’. As time Goes on that qualifier will Disappear as they revision history. So much for the ‘disinformation’ That true Covid deaths were much lower. If you said that before you were labeled a Q and maga. Now that viewpoint is shared by NYT.

    https://archive.is/A1pp2



    The official number is probably an exaggeration because it includes some people who had virus when they died even though it was not the underlying cause of death. Other C.D.C. data suggests that almost one-third of official recent Covid deaths have fallen into this category. A study published in the journal Clinical Infectious Diseases came to similar conclusions.

    I don’t share that opinion. My brother in law almost died. He’s 48
    And sedentary and overweight. I got OC (original Covid). terrible headache but was up and around in 72 hours. I’m 51 and train 2-3 hours a day. Can’t shut down society and destroy kids and then not answer for any of it all The grotesque inaccuracies.

    I've debated a few times whether to share this...

    So my step-FIL (MIL's current husband, not my wife's father) died this past weekend. He came down with covid about a week and a half ago. He was vaccinated, but no boosters. He was MIL's primary caretaker, but also did the lawns for several neighbors on their block for extra money. Pretty active guy. Sure, he was in his 70s, but had no significant health issues. He downplayed the symptoms at first, sought no treatment, but kept getting worse. He was hospitalized last Friday, moved to ICU on Saturday, and died Sunday with multiple organ failure.

    What's crazy about this is everyone I know that has had covid in the last year+ was only a minor illness. MIL and step-FIL had been super careful for years, because MIL has COPD and is on oxygen full time. Let you guard down, and covid reminds you it's very much still a thing. She caught covid too, but called her doctor immediately and got paxlovid. She's cleared the infection, but still having some residual breathing issues (as you'd expect for someone with COPD).

    70’s is about average life expectancy for men these days. And whoever heard of somebody getting sick, going to the hospital and not coming out before ? *shrugs shoulders*

    So you had a conversation with his fathers doctor who told you what a patient of his died of with absolute certainty. I am as always skeptical.

    Always trust a doctor.

    Unless he says someone died from a vaccine.

    I'm sorry for your family's loss. The numbers are overall much lower, but when it is someone you know, that statistics don't matter as much.

    It killed about a million Americans. Even if it was overestimated by 1/3, it was still horrendous. To downplay it as not severe is flat wrong.

    I don’t need to provide links though I already have. You can look up the vaccination rates since omicron. You can go ask doctors yourself. I encourage you to do so. As you apparently only listen to government bureaucrats/government public health officials/media. The data speaks for itself. If would be wise of you actually follow it instead of the “peer reviewed” study that says what you want it to say.

    90% of practicing doctors recommend the vaccine including my doc. And vaccination rates aren't a good indicator. People don't always follow doctor's advise. 11.5% of people smoke, yet try and find one doctor who recommends it.

    You keep telling yourself that lol!

    You very well know doctors are not telling their patients to take the shot today. This is not 2021. But you keep living in the past…
