Oh now you've done scagnetti...the hallelujah boys will descend here shortly to smite you with their righteousness...:) Religion is a cult...and I live in a state where the "cult" seems to run everybody it seems...:) Some folks can't think for themselves without their preacher telling them what to think...kinda pathetic really. Look at the vaccination rates for Oklahoma. They are very low and a lot of it is because of the religious folks claiming they are protected by some invisible man in the sky or some other nonsense they come up with to not get vaccinated.

Yes I'm sure I'll get jumped on for my comments....

There is a list of reasons as long as my arm. Because you dont care of my reasons does not mean you're right or that you get to determine what I do my body.

According to the CDC’s own numbers, covid has a 99.74% survival rate. We know those numbers are incorrect but use them if you'd like. Why would I take a risk on a product, that doesn’t stop infection or transmission, to help me overcome a cold that has a .26% chance of killing me–actually in my age range is has about a .1% chance of killing me (and .01% chance of killing my kids).

It can’t stop us from spreading the virus. It can’t stop the virus from infecting us once we have it. To get the vaccine is to accept all the risk of these experimental products and the best it might do is lower symptoms.

Anyone who gets the shot is now part of the clinical trial. They are part of the experiment. Those (like me) who do not take it, are part of the control group.

No long term data so we have no idea what this product will do in the body months or years from now.

Given the free pass from liability, no liability.... no trust. 3 of the 4 manufacturers have been sued when they brought to market their products even though they knew injuries and deaths would result. These companies willfully choose to put harmful products in the market, when they can be sued, why would we trust any product where they have no liability?

I have more.

Get it if you want. Dont if you dont. Either way, enjoy your life.

I truly understand why you have the position you do on the subject . My condolences to you.
Covid took your dad. I get your pain. A round of pre-K vaccinations took my little girls childhood. Didn't give her autism. Turned her into basically a vegetable for the last 5 years. She will never experience things that all other kids get to. No school, no playgrounds, no running. Just sitting in a special designed chair all day. Staring at the TV. Eating through a tube. Having to have someone change her diaper. Drooling on herself. It literally almost killed her, and she never fully recovered.
I fully understand that cases like hers are extremely rare. That doesn't take away my anger, my sadness, my feeling of betrayal by the medical professionals we trusted. I know it isn't their fault deep down. But I'm human, and I have to live with the after effects every single day.
You say there's no good reason. My reasons are good enough for me. That's all that matters.
I don't try to discourage others from getting it. I 100% believe it's a personal decision. Much like your opinion is based in emotions because of the loss of your dad. My opinion is also based on emotions. I'll admit it. Based on my little girl. The person I cherish more than anyone on this planet. Losing her childhood.
If anyone has a problem with that. They can KMA. (Toned down to avoid the WOS)

Guy being buried today… his wife has the shot and had been begging him to get it. He fought her all the way citing a bunch of the same reasons that are on this thread. They both got sick at the same time, she recovered to 100% in about a week and 10 days after that he died on the vent. His 2 young kids don’t have a daddy, his grandkids won’t have a grandpa, and now his stay at home wife is left with trying to figure out how to survive and raise those kids with no income. It’s a horrible story that’s unfortunately a true one being played out right now.

For every negative fact you can find to support the anti vax stance I can find one that twists it the other way. Which is right? I can’t say… but I’ve yet to lose anyone I know that’s been vaccinated yet the anti vaxers are getting sick and some are dying on me.

Love y’all and will always side with freedom over mandates no matter what my personal opinion is on the shot. Just tired of losing people.

I'll flip that, my body my choice from pro abortion folks, you must be vaxxed from the same folks so my body my choice doesnt really matter to them huh.

[What I really don't understand is the pro-life and anti-vaccine crowd. How can you say "it's my body" when the vaccine so obviously impacts the rest of us, but say "it's not just your body" when a woman decides to abort her baby? You can't have it both ways. At least be consistent.

I like Charlie Kirk, but to be fair, Covid has take hundreds of thousands more American lives than the war in Afghanistan.

There will definitely be unvaccinated folks a year from now. They may be poorer from paying for their hospital stay or higher insurance premiums, but there's always crazy people that take a gift of a highly effective vaccine and turn it into something political that they're against. Pure insanity

Since I have the antibodies and you are vaccinated, how am I impacting your life?

Premeditated murder and transmission of a virus by vaccinated and non vaccinated people with a 99.7-99.9% survivability rate are apples and oranges.
