Covid vaccine

Well.....I got my second shot today. So far I feel fine. I wasn't going to do it initially, but since I work in a grocery store and come in contact with a lot of people every day, I decided to go ahead. Although I have worked there the whole time through this thing and never did get sick.

My employer made it easy since we have a pharmacy in the store.

    Judy has been volunteering with the local hospitals vaccine clinic since the middle of January. What started as 300 - 500 a day has tapered off to less than 50 some days. What was a struggle to have enough vaccine now has become an over abundance. I had my first shot in January and had no ill effects either from the shot or covid. I do know I am about ready for this pandemic crap to be over with. There was a death in the family Saturday (cancer) and my niece and her family will be coming here to Michigan this weekend. I told her to pick a place and I would buy everyone dinner one of the nights. The problem is we still have restrictions in place and it may be to big of a group. I'll figure something out but it may not be easy. Bob

    Something fishy with the fake Bumbling Biden report. He says over 200 million have been "shot".

    For some reason the math don't add up as that is 2/3 of the population. General comments show up just the opposite, doubtful that 100 million have been "shot".

    First shot the wife and I got gave me a slight sore arm the next day and the same with her. I wasn't going to get the second shot as I thought why take the chance to gain a 5% increase. She talked me into it and she got hers also, I never even had a sore arm this time, but the wife WOOOO, she was sick for three days, chills, arm throbbed for three days and looked like she had the shingles on her arm, and the headache lasted two days, body temperature was low around 96.2. Seems woman have more side effects the men. I'll never take the chance again and take a booster shot, and the wife said the same thing.

    I'm one that avoids drinking someone else's kool-aide, ( the Rev. Jim Jones flavor 😀). I also say if it makes you feel safe, secure and patriotic then go for it...but it's not happening with me, never had any childhood sicknesses such as mumps, measles, chicken pox etc. etc. and very few colds.

    Let's just say this probably won't be a long drug out debate on the science of the covid vaccine haha.

    I'm not big on being part of experimental testing of drugs or cures of any kind and this is no different. Maybe once it has FDA approval, I'll consider it.

    And fiery auto crashes

    And drink it from a fountain
    That is pouring like an avalanche

    Agree with Nmyers

  • grdad45grdad45 Member Posts: 5,382 ✭✭✭✭

    A guy I know (flaming lib) asked me if I was refusing to take the shots. I said no, I was declining to be a test subject!

  • oldWinchesterfanoldWinchesterfan Member Posts: 1,050 ✭✭✭

    We couldn’t wait to get the vaccine. Another word for vaccination is immunization. Who doesn’t want to be immune?

    We’ve lost family and friends to this “fake” virus. I’m on a hospital system board of directors. It’s not fake. My 89y/o mother recovered but we don’t know if her lungs will ever get back to their prior level of function which was marginal at best. A friend’s very health sister recovered and is now on the long list for a double lung transplant.

    I can’t for the life of me think if any reason not to get vaccinated except being misinformed or uninformed. Sorry if that offends but I’ve seen it and you don’t want it.

  • mike55mike55 Member Posts: 3,065 ✭✭✭✭

    Not sure that anyone has said that it is FAKE, but no one can guarantee that the vaccine is SAFE either! Watch this video, or simply read the text. Over 3,000 have died from the vaccine between Dec 2020 and April 2021. These numbers come from the government, so they are probably UNDER reported too! Only a little over 200 died from the flu vaccine in all of 2019! The covid vaccine has killed a LOT more than ANY other vaccine ever used in the USA.

    I agree, some are "misinformed or uninformed", so EVERYONE please read/watch this, do your own investigation of the numbers and educate yourselves!!!!

  • mike55mike55 Member Posts: 3,065 ✭✭✭✭

    from CDC website, VAERS report on COVID-19 vaccine.....


  • Don McManusDon McManus Member Posts: 23,695 ✭✭✭✭

    It is important to read the fine print in the report. It looks like almost 3,000 people who have received a Covid vaccine have died. There is not necessarily any correlation between receiving the vaccine and the death.

    Something important to note is that a Covid vaccine will not protect you from getting run over by a bus.

    While VAERS reports are interesting, they should not be taken out of context. Anyone can submit a report. Unless a specific disease is being studied, CDC doesn't verify the person was infected, &/or died from the vaccine. This was done with covid, & < 10 deaths could be verified, so far.

  • mike55mike55 Member Posts: 3,065 ✭✭✭✭

    to "nmyers" and "Don McManus" I AGREE. I said the same thing about the REPORTED covid-19 deaths. Everyone BELIEVES when the gov't says that tens of thousands have DIED from covid-19(even though it has been proven that some where car wrecks, gun shots, heart attacks, etc.etc. ). Cant have it both ways. Either you trust the numbers or you dont. My point is that the gov't is talking out of BOTH sides of its mouth. No one can say how many people died from covid NOR can they say how many died from the vaccine.

    BUT everyone believes the FLU vaccine death rate reported by VAERS is correct! I'm just sayin'.....a LOT of people pick and choice the "facts" that backs up their own BELIEF!

  • Don McManusDon McManus Member Posts: 23,695 ✭✭✭✭

    Mike55.


    You specifically stated that over 3,000 have died from the vaccine and that this number is probably underreported.

    The chart you displayed simply states that 2800+ who have received the vaccine have died and states that there is no proven correlation to receiving the vaccine.

    We know that Covid-19 vaccines have been given to Hospice clients. The 2,800 number is meaningless.

  • oldWinchesterfanoldWinchesterfan Member Posts: 1,050 ✭✭✭

    Snd number vaccinated is about 140 million.....

  • mike55mike55 Member Posts: 3,065 ✭✭✭✭

    Ok, then by your own logic.....the death rate attributed to the Covid virus is ALSO meaningless! There have been countless morticians that stated the death rate is grossly over exaggerated! Several stated that a gun shot victim had tested positive for covid 19, so his death was ruled as covid related.

    If you can concede that BOTH numbers are wrong, then I am in agreement. I am saying that someone cannot chose to believe one number and NOT the other.

    if you have chosen to get vaccinated believing that it will make you immune then you shouldn't be worried about the ones of us that choose not to get it ,, if your vaccine works so great then you have nothing to fear from those of us that want to keep our freedom

  • dunbarboyzdunbarboyz Member Posts: 2,618 ✭✭✭✭

    My wife was receiving chemo at this time last year. I got vaccinated for the good of her health not mine.

  • wolfpackwolfpack Member Posts: 1,288 ✭✭✭✭

    I had covid and don't want it again. I was vaccinated and so was my wife. It is everyone's personal choice to be vaccinated or not.

  • Don McManusDon McManus Member Posts: 23,695 ✭✭✭✭

    I think a lot of people have died earlier than they would have otherwise because of the magical Covid. I don’t believe it is anywhere near 500,000 in the US. What I was pointing out was that the report you cited specifically states that there is or proven correlation between the vaccine and the deaths.

    You can choose to believe whatever you want, but when a report states no necessary correlation, don’t present it the data has having one.

  • mike55mike55 Member Posts: 3,065 ✭✭✭✭

    I simply posted facts, followed by links, followed by my opinion AND stated for everyone to look for themselves. I do not believe that the death rate is ANYWHERE near what the news is reporting as a fact. The news does not report both sides any more. Just doing my part, or trying to.

    Same reasons I banned the topic awhile back. He say/she say, here's all the C&P to prove I'm right & you're wrong, on and on.

    Do your own research, make your own choices.
