    Weren’t the same antivax quacks claiming we’d all be dead from the vax within a year? Seems like they are very lacking in the critical thinking department

      It’s like those doomsday cults that have to change the date after each time the world doesn’t end, first they said everyone would drop dead in weeks, then months, I think now they’re claiming that it’s a slow burner like smoking.

      A lot of people did die, we had athletes keeling over in record numbers “mysteriously.”

      These were young extremely healthy people mind you. I can only imagine what that experimental shit would do to my alcoholic, chain smoking not-quite-fat-but-close-enough middle aged ass.

      Meanwhile, I got covid twice and it was no big deal so YMMV.

          Wrong about what? I didn’t get the experimental vaccine, got sick twice. Ooooohhhhh scary, like a bad cold lmao. Meanwhile at least 3 people in my circle got the vaccine and fucking died. And the ones that didn’t die all got sicker than me. I’m fine with my decisions lol. Why the fuck do people trust any government these days?

            I don’t trust the government, but if I look something up and come to the same conclusions, so be it. I don’t listen to the internet, or Joe Rogan style propagandists. I’m not gonna knee-jerk oppose something just because the government agrees. This is your, and people like you’s, problem. You’re so afraid your peers will perceive you as “trusting the (wrong) government” or going against your favorite propagandists that you will actively oppose your own best interest.

            My mum has compromised health. She caught COVID from my dad and I got to appreciate the experience of being told she is dying from my sister, who happened to work at the hospital she was admitted to. Although my mum survived, not every family were as lucky as we were.

            Everyone I know got vaccinated and are currently still alive and well. I personally will always stand on the side of medicine, however I live in a country with free healthcare and I’m not subject to the concept of “Big Pharma”.

            Although we all experienced the pandemic differently, overall the vaccine has been more of a boon for society as a whole. Fear of vaccinations is why previously considered “obsolete” diseases such as measles are making a comeback.
