Tis says 3 out of 10 received no covid shots.

My initial thought was this was low. I thought it might be more than 30% having no shot, but now I am wondering would people be more likely to lie and say they did or did not get the shot?

We purebloods are starting to proudly declare ourselves in Portland and openly mock those clot enthusiast nitwits who have oppressed us these last 16 months.

I find just acting as if you had the shot and having others assume it without directly asking works.

Lying in either direction depending on the prevailing view of your social surroundings seems likely.

I think that's about right. Tons of people over 50 got it that wouldn't now knowing the facts. My dad is as hardcore about politics and hating liberals and blah blah blah as anyone and he got it. He, of course, regrets it now and never got a booster or anything. Tons of people in his situation.

Also, a staggering amoung of people had to get it of they would/thought they would have lost their job.

Clot shot mindless covidians have marked themselves with the sign of the Beast. Not a single one of them will be in the 144,000 that enter into the Kingdom because they put Fauci's poison in their bloodstream. As a pureblood, I wish them well in their (now shortened) time on earth.

I honestly can't tell if this is serious or not

How many had the "We Can Do This!" frame on their Facebook profile pic?

What's he regret about it? Sounds like he's fine either way.

If you didn't have any negative effects from it, it seems like you'd just kinda forget about it.

On the surface it does sound really low, but when you think about a lot of the people in your circle of trust (family, friends, coworkers...) you'll begin to realize how many actually did get at least 1 shot. As Mingo pointed out, there are a lot of people that are older and got it as they were considered high risk, a large percentage got it because their job required it, and I know quite a few that got it because their health is shite so they were terrified of going to the hospital with covid and never coming out (ironically, they still haven't started to do shite about their health)

*I am disappointed that Mingo didn't point out the fatties that needed to get it because they are in the same health risk as the elderly, many probably worse health wise

I chose to get the shots and I have good friends who chose otherwise. No one should have been forced to get them or to avoid them. It's a personal decision, one best decided in consultation with your doctor.

Now that we know that the benefits of the shots were oversold, and the virus has weakened to the point of being just a cold/flu, I doubt I will be getting any more boosters from Pfizer. Nor will I be as trusting the next time our leaders push something like this.

I was forced to take a shot in order to be approved for life saving surgery.

I took the J&J shot (after previously getting a mild case of Covid). I thought it would be better to avoid the mRNA shots.

But I really don’t know if the J&J was any safer in the long run, or perhaps it was worse. Can anyone chime in with knowledge on the subject?

I did listen to someone who I know got the shot say they did not a few weeks ago talking to a group at a party. Someone called him out and they crawfished and he stated he never got the booster is what he meant to say, but in reality he was trying to portray himself as some rebel I guess.

This is what made me thought about the legitimacy of the 30% and it could go either way. Someone might say they got it because of who they are around or they are worried still about their job.

This unusual declaration of self importance is why I think that people are more likely to lie about not getting vaccinated.

I had to do it as well in order to to receive treatment for Leukemia and so I could go back to the office and stop working from home.

Found out later it was a waste, it doesn't work on people with those kind of blood cancers. Ended up getting Evusheld which is investigational/experimental, supposed to get the second dose next week.

This was my question also. If he didn’t suffer any negative effects is his remorse strictly based on politics?
