You do realize that liver failure (caused by tylenol) kills hundreds of people every year right? I am sure some people are predisposed to it, but still. EVERYTHING has a risk https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/15239078/ |
Then let’s stop lying. It isn’t safe. It’s mostly safe. And I don’t do Tylenol, because that isn’t safe either. |
Yes, it is not 100% safe and there is a 0.0001% (probably less) chance of dying... I am sure that is less than your chance of dying from a car accident tomorrow or having a stroke. My point is that choosing not to get the vaccine because it’s not safe is STUPID. If you have other reasons (I never take medicines or I don’t want to get a headache or low fever), then I get it. |
LIFE isn't 100% safe. Do you ever drive a car? Ride in a car with someone else driving? Walk across a street? Exercise of any sort? Mow your lawn? Shovel snow from your sidewalk (I know 2 people who had heart attacks doing this)? Ride a bike? Congratulations. If you do none of those things, you spend your life sitting on the couch ... Which is not only a miserable existence, your sedentary lifestyle puts you at high risk for heart disease, diabetes, and a dozen other life-threatening conditions. Mitigating one risk often creates another (smaller) risk. Choose your poison. People who choose to drive for vacation because they feel flying is dangerous don't realize that flying is statistically safer than driving. (In case it wasn't obvious: COVID=driving, vaccine=flying). |
Well, I now stay off of 495 simply because I don’t need to take that risk. Perhaps certain people choose to calculate their own risk of covid, and proceed accordingly. |
This is unnecessarily extreme. She very very very likely will not die from covid so that her kids are at her funeral. People are untethered |
The fear-mongers are out en mass. Resist. |
"Their body, their choice" |
COVID "doomer" here. The J&J vaccine is fine. One death out of 7 million is basically zero. If 330 million Americans got the J&J vaccine and one out of every 7 million died, we'd have 47 deaths in the entire US population. That's an absurdly low rate. |
Yes, especially when you compare it to the number of COVID deaths we have. Even the number of COVID deaths in people under 40. |
Yeah, but, if I'm in a car accident, there's a good chance I'll survive. Something goes wrong in a plane? You're dead. |
Yes, people need to make this decision with their own doctors. Stop the fear-mongering because it makes you look like a nutter. |
My friend thinks they’re pushing so hard to gets the jabs immediately is because the longer you wait, the more data we’ll have and it won’t be good.
If you’re low-risk and observant of common sense protocol, what’s the big rush? |
I’d find it painful to be an idiot. Maybe your friend doesn’t have that problem. |
Your "friend" is an idiot. The reason they are pushing people to get vaccinated is because the sooner we reach herd immunity, the sooner this thing is over and everything can go back to normal. Seriously, the "big rush" is that we'd like to prevent any more unnecessary illness and death. Threads like these make me despair. People are too "smart" for their own good. They think they are so clever, and they are just stupid. |
