@djpannda took the vaccine and he turned out fine. Look at those sharp mental faculties.

Vaccine police aren't real. Where is your non "non-unbias" news sources? Great question!

I'm not saying the vaccine is %100 bad. I'm saying that the the push for others to take it is reckless and overzealous. Claims that the vaccine related injuries "cannot be substantiated" instead of "conclusively not" is a way to give vaccines the benefit of the doubt when I don't owe it any. Considering with what is known about my current situation, I like my choice.
There is no evidence that the vaccines have any significant risk of causing serious harm, and there's evidence that they don't have any significant risk of causing serious harm. I've already explained all of this to you in detail, so why are you still pretending otherwise? If you want to behave rationally, you owe the vaccines much more than the benefit of the doubt.

Also, it's been highly ineffective in ending Covid and with fulfilling political promises to end covid related restrictions. Goal-post shifting technology.
The vaccines have saved millions of lives worldwide, lol. Approximately 2,600 Americans are dying from COVID-19 everyday, and approximately 2,300 of them are unvaccinated.

As for "not ending COVID-19," one can mostly blame the unvaccinated for that. Thank you for reminding us.

As someone who supports vaccines I'm sorry, but that's BS.

Ever since the media has taken a liking on blaming the unvaxxed for everything, millions of people everyday go on with their lives without thinking that certain behaviors can be harmful, because they're vaccinated: going out for five minutes? Oh it's ok, I don't need my mask. Feeling like sneezing? It's ok I'll just sneeze it out of my mask because I don't want my mucus inside my mask all day. Girlfriend might have COVID? I should definitely self-isolate, but I really want to go grab a drink with my buddies.

And let's take the biggest issue of them all: work.

"I think I have COVID, I should stay home"

"Ok but I'm not paying you for the day"

"Good news! The test was negative!"

Wow, so much trash and shitpost in the last 24h, you guys never rest when it comes to spreading false information with random pictures and list of facts without link that you invent a cool story on. Like yeah, people that are healthy and then are not anymore happen all the time even without vaccines. Having *one* case happen is not surprising, you're not proving anything, it's very likely not even linked to the vaccine, or we'd have seen a lot of other cases similar to this one (as in : more than in the general population... spoiler : we don't see such an increase ! what a surprise !)

The available data begins to suggest they've all given themselves subclinical heart disease and some form and degree of AIDS depending on the number of boosters at the very least.
Source for the "data" you talk about, else gtfo.

That's pretty normal when it comes to the anti-vax crowd. Post stupid shit with no sources and yet are expected to be taken seriously.

Yea, the vaccine cultists are the biggest threat right now. Here in Germany, if you got your booster shot, you don't need a negative test to do whatever you want (going to a restaurant, visiting a gym, watching a movie in the cinema, and so on). At the same time, it is a known fact, that they spread covid the same way the unvaccinated do, while the unvaccined are isolated from almost anything. Not even being able to visit a hardware store. They even have to test themselves everyday to be able to go to work.
The tabloid press still blaming the unvaccinated for the spread. And the retarded german population believe that obviously made up agenda.

The reason the above behaviors are still bad in the first place is because of variants that emerged from there being low vaccination rates in places. That was my point.

but it's too late for the most of these people anyway. Maybe some of them could recover enough to live out normal enough lives if they unplug now and stop taking boosters.

I honestly hope that people aren't adversely affected.


I think you mean “4billlon plus took the vaccine and turned out fine.

Let me know when they are finished taking the vaccine and we can talk then.

If we're talking about variants, Africa has nightmare-levels of vaccinations. It's very likely that any variants came from there. Should we ban all African residents from getting anywhere?

Had people not been scared of reporting themselves as sick at work and didn't believe of themselves as saints, this pandemic would've lasted six months at best.

this can't be overstated...


r/antiwork has countless stories of bosses not giving a shit and firing people because they didn't come in...because of covid.

it actually makes me sick.

I'm sick of the controversy- if you want to get it get it if not don't bother those people.

I personally waited for the J&J to be available in my state because it was getting pretty annoying- I cross boarder trip often and everyone all shits out- Canada still tries to restrict boarder travel but fuck em- right to come and go.

We should expand access to vaccinations.
Only 2% of vaccines have been administered in Africa. It's hard to help those who don't want to be helped. Yet they travel all over the world. And good luck vaxxing people who live in rural areas or war zones, or where illnesses like Ebola and AIDS are much more important.

There isn't much to do other than:

- Forcing people to wear masks correctly outside all the time (impossible and dystopic)
- Forcing companies to force infected employees to work from home or get paid time off if that's not possible

First one is, as I said, impossible. Second one is also impossible, considering also the millions of people who have a job "off the books". At this rate we can keep going with boosters forever, but you'll never have a 100% vaxxed population. Even if everyone were, there are still places like Africa and rural Asia where it's impossible to immunize all of them.

You don't understand what this means. It isn't that people have them but don't want them. It's that only 2% of global vaccines have been given to the entire continent of Africa.

The vaccines are the #1 best way to reduce the spread of infection, the formation of new variants, hospitalizations, and death.

Imagine if I blamed you, predictibly being yourself, for my favorite politicians not being able to live up to their promises.

If only everyone got vaccinated at the same exact time.

Seatbelts only work if everyone puts one on at the same time.
Seatbelts don't work if people don't use them. Vaccines don't prevent variants if people don't get vaccinated.

It is our obligation to fulfill Mr. Biden's promise, together.
I didn't say anything about politics, but I don't think it's the political left that's putting themselves and those around them in harm's way just because they're butthurt their candidate is a big loser.
