Keep lining the pockets of big pharma!! lol

You know every tune you type “Big Pharma,” you’re advertising your sub-room temperature IQ, right?

“Lol” indeed.

Part of me thinks it’s more they’ve dug their heels in and don’t want to admit maybe those with concern or pause might be on to something. That maybe it’s not all it’s cracked up to be or maybe it’s okay to let people have agency over their own bodies and say no. The fact is no one can definitively say that these boosters, shots or whatever you want to call them are 100% safe and effective for every single person that takes them. I’d love to see you all at least admit that much and then give people the right to decide for themselves what they put in their body. Ask yourself why you call people morons, stupid, anti-vaxer or Maga who differ in opinion from you. Do you know something the rest of the world doesn’t about the safety and effectiveness? Or are you bullying because maybe you too have doubts but don’t want to look in the mirror? It’s sad that at this stage this is still such a divisive issue.

I’m in that 86%, but hardly an anti-vaxer. Just got my flu shot and am 100% up-to-date on other vaccinations. The Pfizer Covid shot messed with my menstrual cycle in a big way and I don’t want to risk revisiting that mess. I might get the Novavax shot but it doesn’t seem to be widely available and I guess I’m just not in a huge hurry to hunt it down since I’ve had Covid and it wasn’t too bad.

The vaxxed people would rather die than end up being tragically wrong. Especially since they pushed their kids and loved ones to getting the mRNA jab with corresponding spike protein infusion. It’s too late at this point so it’s better to ignore any downside and and don’t whatever days/years you have left with worry.

We know it risks heart damage for young men. It’s entirely possible that repeated mRNAs could pose a heart risk for more people in the long run. We just do not know and as far as I can tell the research is not being done. We don’t even know if repeated covid vaccination actually reduces risk. There has been research in flu vaccines suggesting that repeated vaccination can actually dampen immune response.

It's not brand new at all. It's perfectly safe. And you're spewing complete and utter bullshit and should be ashamed of yourself.

It's one thing to be ignorant. It's quite another to present your ignorance as some sort of credible or valid position.

Do you have any actual facts or are you just going to scream? the mRNA vax DOES cause myocarditis in some cases. It is not magic unicorn sparkles. Nobody has ever taken repeated mRNA vaccines for years. There is no magic forcefield around vaccines as a medical product. I mean, one covid vax (J&J) isn’t even in use anymore due to side effects.

Do you know what also causes myocaditis? Having Covid-19.

MRNA vaccines have been around for 30 years. https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2021/the-long-history-of-mrna-vaccines#:~:text=There%27s%20a%20big%20gap%20between,tested%20in%20humans%20in%202013.

Stop spewing your delusional bullshit or you will be perceived as doing it intentionally.

mRNA vaccines have absolutely not been administered repeatedly to large populations for 30 years. that’s incorrect.

for younger men the risk of myocarditis from the vaccine is significant.

but anyway if you are so convinced in your “science”, please link to the paper that shows
a) risks over 10 years of repeated mRNA vaccination
b) efficacy and effectiveness of mRNA boosters *as compared to people with the original series and covid infection.* not compared to no vax/no infection.

The risk to young men who get COVID is way worse. But that requires logical reasoning skills.

For young men, the risk of myocarditis from the Moderna vaccine specifically is higher than the risk of myocarditis from covid itself.
Not true for young women, older men, older women, or any vaccine other than Moderna.

So they get Novovax.

Next excuse?

Is it safe to get Norovax along with Pfizer? (Double up) Protecting ourselves from two different angles? (two different vaccine technologies.)

I think there is a real bias there though… It’s quite possible and very likely that the folks that are still testing for Covid are also the folks that got the shot. Think about it if - you are not concerned about Covid why would you test if you had a cold?

There's a lot of anti-vax posting on here. I think it's against the rules of the forum.

I fear this is the case as well. But it’s not too late. The cumulative effect is something we don’t yet understand so it’s got to be better to just let it go than save face and keep injecting. Especially when it comes to children. This part I don’t get? I got the original two doses as well so I'm not anti-vax and thought I was doing the right thing. But things weren’t adding up when it came to kids and questions starting emerging. So we just sat back and watched and kept saying if we see evidence or need we’ll get them the vaccine. We’re still waiting…

It shouldn’t be. And the fact you bring that up goes against open dialogue and discussion and that shouldn’t be at this point of where we are with this illness. We should be pushing back, asking questions, asking each other to do the same. You may not agree with those of us doing that, and that’s okay, but it shouldn’t be shut down. That happened on social media and in the media all through the pandemic.

This whole COVID debacle is the worlds biggest example of sunk cost fallacy.

Exactly. Also, when can we get that obnoxious sticky post removed from this forum? And while we're at it, remove the one from the Travel forum too.

Can you define anti-vax for me?

News flash. We don’t.

But how do you know which strain you got? You might need the new Covid vaccine for the current strains.

do you think we need to be getting vaccinated every 2 months???

DP Covid mutates very quickly. The new booster is based on a covid strain that was prevalent in the spring/early summer (XBB.1.5), but that has now virtually disappeared, accounting for only 0.1% of current covid cases. https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#variant-proportions

I got the latest booster but the nurse at my doctors office said that many people’s insurance doesn’t cover it! It would be 200-400$ if my insurance hadnt paid. I was really surprised. Apparently since we’re not officially in a pandemic rn, insurance companies aren’t automatically paying for the latest boosters etc.
