Son and I are getting booster tomorrow evening

posted by Automatik

Anyone know anyone vaccinated who's been hospitalized? I don't.

I do know of a highly regarded wrestling coach, who recently passed away from COVID.  He was fully vaccinated and waiting for his booster.  He was 80 years old, so I think that obviously played a part into it, and I don't know what his health record was, but externally he always stayed in great shape for his age.  

Sad to see, but there are always many more variables to why people pass away from COVID.  Generally speaking, it seems that most people who are vaccinated are avoiding hospital beds and death.  A lot of friends I know that work in hospitals confirm this, and we also have FFL confirming it. 

At the end of the day, I don't give a shit what your choice is, because it is your body.  I will think you're an idiot if you come up with conspiracy theories, but I do know some people who have legitimate concerns or allergies.  For those people, I have found you can have a decent convo about it and maybe convince them into taking it.   

Regardless (and not to turn this into the other COVID thread), I have been over these dumbass recycled Government restrictions that have failed to do anything to save any lives. Those politicians still using the same tactics that have failed for over 2 years need to be tarred and feathered.   I was just in Sweden and Denmark for over a week during Thanksgiving.   They are both living life normally, especially Sweden.   I think history will show that Sweden got it right from the beginning and if anyone wants to argue this, please copy this paragraph and take it to the other COVID thread.  I don't want to hijack the booster thread, which I know I am already kind of doing.

not being a fat POS 

What a human being.

Nah. I only got it in the first place so I didnt have to wear a mask.

Look how well that went.

Had some decent chills about 24 hour mark and about 30 hour mark 

UPDATE!

I got it Friday evening. Dumb move. 

I was a total waste on Saturday and most of yesterday. Just extremely tired, achy and chills. Exact same sides from shot 2. Glad that's over with.

Sounds like just getting the virus might be better

I enjoy tasting and smelling. I'm good.

Go expose yourself and report back.

Disclaimer - expose yourself to the virus, not the other way.

Got my Pfizer booster Wednesday. Planned it for that day since I am off the rest of the week. As I expected, Thursday sucked. Chills, achy, tired. By the time I went to bed last night it had passed. Feel great today.

Got mine the 13th. Sore arm and slight headache (but might’ve been slightly hung over). That was it. Basically no effects.

Got my booster (Moderna) on Black Friday with zero side effects. Rapid tested positive yesterday after having cold symptoms over the weekend. I already feel better than I did yesterday, it has been an extremely mild case.

This “vaccine”. Thing is getting more ridiculous daily.  It’s obvious that it’s truly not a vaccine and I think the money trail will tell the story that they knew that all along.

What does “not a vaccine” mean doctor?

I will spare the post "cant you use google":

A vaccine is a weakened or dead pathogen that is used to give the bodies immune system a chance to create antibodies that will prevent the illness caused by the disease from happening in the future.

This spike protein therapy meets almost no definition of a vaccine.  It first does not create immunity from the virus because the virus is not in the "vaccine".  The spike protein is.  this attachment protein is nothing but what binds the virus to an Ace2 cell receptor so the virus can enter a cell and replicate.  Its obviously not working.

Guess it’s just coincidence almost everyone dying also didn’t get the vaccine that’s obviously not working.

I think I speak for all humanity when I say "Thank GOD you didn't apply this same logic to condoms"

Personally, I'm just kind of impressed at how he regularly brings back the "nOt A vAccINe!1!" argument every week or two despite how he gets ratio'd every single time. It's kind of like a Nigerian spambot, but instead of getting poorly typed pleas to share tons of money, you're getting conspiracy theories and a general lack of knowledge that never changes regardless of how many posts argue against him.

general lack of knowledge is a hot take for sure.

Its really impressive that people like you walk around extremely naive and uninformed about the major issue of your lifetime.

I actually have a good idea how you could inform yourself about what’s really going on from people who see Covid up close every day. But you’ll just double down on the act no one knows who you are or what you do, so why bother. It’s a nice lie you built yourself to continue being ignorant.

True. I should have said "comical lack of knowledge" or "near-complete lack of knowledge". My bad on that.

The rest of your post is just hilariously stupid since your concept of being "informed" is simply to seek out and then 100% believe anything that supports your point of view and to ignore anything that goes against it in order to regurgitate the same talking points constantly with little to no deviation.
