Will you take the Covid Vaccine?

I'm sure someone has a chart that shows how Pineapple pizza is a creation of George Soros.

I KNEW it!

Had second dose today.

For all the posts about getting vaccinated it is a odd juxtaposition that only 33% in the poll said they were getting it.

Got my Janssen 1-shot today.

So you believe the liars that figure, I believe the figures lie...

Mike, we've circled this track more times than a NASCAR race in the beer virus thread.

To me, bottom-line, for this to be true would mean that COVID vs flu death statistics are off by a factor of 10-12 times.

That requires believing that they are off by 1,000 to 1,200%.

One thousand to twelve hundred percent error!

I'm a nope on that.

Regardless, deciding whether or not to get one of the vaccines is an individual risk/benefit decision. If one believes that the COVID deaths are really just a normal flu season, then that would definitely lower the perceived benefit side of that decision equation and affect one's decision.

If there is someone out there who hasn't made up their mind on whether COVID is real or not, well, they're a unicorn. I'm done unicorn hunting.

The poll started 3 months ago when there were ZERO approved vaccines.

Me, for example, I was unsure at that time. Now I'm 100% getting it. The national polls say 60-70% will take it with the most recent saying only 25% absolutely will not.

The "guinea pig" factor is long gone.

No doubt about it covid is real. There is also no doubt it has been politicized by both foreign and domestic. There is no doubt our government lies to us. There is no doubt our media lies to us.

Why do you believe any of them in any concrete way? I don't know, I'm asking tough questions, I don't know who to trust for info.

It is amazes me the number of members here that have significant faith in the official reports and MSM reporting. I trust none of it and try to balance what I see.

Wife and I have had both shots. Can't figure why anyone would not get them, I mean it's just a shot! In WWII I believe we had about 360,000 combat deaths. That's just shy of a four year period. So far with Covid, if we believe the numbers, we are over 500,000 deaths.

Mike, I've posted the basis for my decisions in depth in the coronavirus and mask threads. I absolutely can be wrong, but I don't make **** up.

And zero of my position is based on blind faith in media or government. Like you, my first assumption is whatever they say is an outright lie or some manipulation with an agenda.

I've been called a every name in the book, had my manhood insulted, etc. etc. including called a bald-faced liar because I would not divulge the date/time/location of my son's wedding reception to some random ***hole on the open internet.

I'm done with this discussion/argument, even with my own sister who had to learn the hard way it's not a "hoax". Her daughter, my niece, was one of the one's who contracted COVID at the reception. She "recovered" and was back to work at the 10-day/2-week post-symptom mark. But 4 months later, she has still has long-term respiratory and cardiac issues similar to those some members have posted. She's seeing a cardiologist/pulminologist. She's in her early 30's.

Adults make their decisions and live with consequences.

My dad was career military and whenever the family would do an overseas move, we'd get so many shots that even the military docs would say that's too many in each shoulder, it's butt cheek time! Lol!

Going off to BCT in 1990, they lined us up and shot us with a gun injector in both arms. Then, they handed us a card that said what we had just been vaccinated for.

In combat, they only count combat deaths as combat deaths.

Not for all.

Good luck.

I am passing.

I was only 8 at the time, but I remember vaccinations prior to Okinawa being particularly "plentiful".

And you have no question that the number you cite is true? You did say if you believe the numbers. Do you believe the numbers? All the documented non covid deaths listed as covid deaths? The lack of deaths from normal sources? The documented lack of integrity of those presenting the numbers. You just believe?

I wonder if all the illegal aliens coming in are being tested and vaccinated.

If so, I wonder who is paying for them.

No need to wonder, the bidet administration has said they are not testing any kind of immigrants as I read..

 

[IndyBeerman]

To be honest, I don't believe in a lot of the numbers. Too many people/places trying to get covid related $$$$'s.

Flue deaths are estimated, not actual.

How many people actually died of of something else but had Covid and was listed as Covid?
We'll never know the actual true number.

I know Covid is for real, my best friend who other than be a little over weight spent 63 day on a vent because of Covid. He's lucky to be alive. Suffered a mild stroke while sedated and hooked to the vent.

Read my post, I didn't say I believed the Covid numbers, I said IF we believed the numbers. I'm not fool enough to believe everything the govt puts out. I do believe in the past year we lost a hell of a lot of Americans to Covid. Go where you will for more precise numbers.

...The "guinea pig" factor is long gone.

I'm a guinea pig, but I agree as to the approved vaccines.

...but I hear a lot of "I'm not taking it unless there's a lot more research", so.....
