Do y’all plan to do that every 8 months? 2 shots or the 1 and done J&J shot?


No facts are supporting this post. The only thing expected by the manufacturer's is annually, mostly due to mutations.

Lesser of two evils. I'd rather have the experimental cure from the hand of Pfizer messing with my DNA than the experimental virus from the hand of the Chinese government doing it. Good luck on the other side.

Or some folks don’t want to deal with the potential long term effects of COVID (which is happening across the population), work or live with immunocompromised folks who are at higher risk, and so on. It’s not just about death.

That said, I just find it funny when the majority of this board pretends they wouldn’t be at risk for a more severe COVID case. If majority of this board is from the South, statistically more than half could have complications.

I berate for misinformation or shitty logic

Did you read the OP


Yeah, it's all pretty insane to hash out daily. Expect 25 more threads tomorrow.

experimental shot


Will these posts stop when this shite is fully approved in the near future?

I don’t give a damn if people get the shot or not, but I’m so tired of seeing this. I guarantee none of y’all did in-depth research for the vaccines given to your kids over the years (of yourselves). This has become such a weird hill to die on. I’m also positive you’ll still be calling this an experimental shot when it’s fully approved just like all the other vaccines you’ve gotten.

I do it so I can comfortably see family members who are at risk when it comes to Covid and so I can go back to concerts when they finally start coming back

It’s extra strange because Trump led the charge to get this shite released

I say that as a Trump supporter and someone who hasn’t gotten the vaccine yet

ETA: there is definitely merit to the slippery slope argument re: vaccine passports imo

I don't berate any who get it nor those who don't. I berate those who want to try berating the other side into changing their mind.

Just because some people dont want to get a vaccine/flu shot or never taken a flu shot that makes them antivaxer?

Stop grouping them together. Most people just dont want to get it because they either never get the flu shot or they dont want to get a shot that's not FDA approved.

Maybe one day if youre still watching TV, youll get an ad saying "if you or a loved one have taken a Covid Vaccine, you may be at risk and entitled to financial compensation."

Which is why I didn’t play a shell game of attributing specific deaths to a cause, where it could be claimed they really died of something else.

23% more people died. They just didn’t swap the labels from other causes and call it COVID.

So unless your claim is COVID caused folks to be more reckless on a motorcycle, your sarcastic retort has no teeth.

BTW, before you want to knee jerk claim that it probably came from suicides as a result of the lockdowns....that percentage of excess deaths is so large, an additional 200k people could have died from suicide and it still wouldn’t start to displace the claimed COVID death tally.

fair enough, but it was a genuine question. I’m curious as to the social pressure and the media push for everyone to get vaccinated next year, in 2 years, or in 5 years when in all likelihood there is a COVID/flu cocktail vaccine.

up until this year no one gave a flying frick if you got the flu vaccine or not.

its an emergency vaccination, we still dont have two months of safety data or proof it prevents severe covid


I hate to be a broken record in these threads but where do you people get this shite from. It's like you read a FB or Twitter post and never engage your brain before repeating it.

We have a over full year of trial results for Phizer and Moderna and over 9 months for the J&J vaccine.

Did you miss the fact they have been giving all three of the vaccines for over 2 months en masse.

Phizer and Moderna both have enough data to file a BLA and get a Biologics License a few months later. They are both basically at the formality stage with the FDA at this point.

yep, and there's no way Salmon is dumb enough not to realize this is why people who don't want the vaccine are talking about the vaccine so much. We are completely justified in believing that basic rights we have all enjoyed up to now will become contingent on vaccination status. And they have the fricking nerve to act like we are crazy for objecting to such a scheme.
