I'll try to keep it clean lol.. I don't necessarily believe in the science behind the vaccine.. I don't believe that its good science if you still can contract the virus and can still spread it and are, in many states, still required to wear a mask and social distance after receiving it.. They continue to claim the vaccines are safe, but there are many reports of anaphylaxis, thrombosis, and even 4178 cases of death attributed to the vaccine.. sure, that may be a small amount, considering how many had been vaccinated, but still.. is it worth dying to shoot yourself up with an experimental therapy that only lessens your chances of contracting a virus with a 98.54% survival rate?
I understand some people in poor health are more susceptible, and I agree that if you're more susceptible, you probably should get the vaccine, but holy cow - I have to get jabbed with a substance that can make me throw a blood clot (I am susceptible to blood clots and have had one - my dad died from a pulmonary embolism) just to lessen my chances of getting a virus that has a 98.54% survival rate? So, I need to tempt death to protect myself from a virus that, in my case, would probably give me a slight cough and runny nose?
I DID get the JJ shot for our upcoming trip to Belize - only because I didn't want to be denied boarding in Dallas by some TSA punk on a power trip...Proof of vaccine is all that's required to enter Belize, but to get back into the USA, we have to provide a negative covid test, even if we are vaccinated.. I kinda find that stupid and more of a money grab than anything else.. If the US requires proof of vaccine AND a negative covid test to enter (that is if you enter legally - if you sneak in, apparently it doesn't matter) then the US should pay for your covid test, if you've been vaccinated..
What I hate most about the vaccine is the way vaccinated people treat unvaccinated people.. I've been called quite a few names I can't repeat here, and even threatened for not wanting to take the shot.. Vaxxers telling me I want and am going to kill their families - and my own family - because I'm so selfish.. I take care of myself and, somehow, after 14-15 months, managed to not get the virus, without a vaccine.. I absolute cannot stand the attitude of some vaxxers who feel the need to belittle and intimidate others into doing something they are not comfortable with, for whatever reason.. In my opinion, their actions are despicable.. if the vaccine is SO great, then those who took it should feel secure and protected in their own health.. Stop blaming everything on those who don't share the same beliefs.. Its a state's decision whether to ditch masks and whatnot.. and Texas did away with that months ago and we're just fine.. If someone is in California and blaming ME for still having to wear a mask because I didn't get vaccinated, I don't feel that's right.. go complain to your state's elected officials.. don't blame me because I'm in an open state and don't want a vaccine..
I don't tell ANYONE I got the vaccine.. I feel stupid for getting it.. I posted it here because nobody from my home town is on this board.. I would NEVER attack people who didn't want the vaccine.. its their body - its their choice.. Even tho vaccinated, should I come down with covid, I'm not going to blame the non-vaxxers.. its NOT their fault.. its MY fault for getting complacent and failing to continue protecting myself.. but then again, why do I even have to?
Sorry - I drug on.. and nobody feel the need to enlighten me or teach me or preach to me.. Nobody will change my mind about this subject.. I have often said this is a dress rehearsal for another injection coming up in a few years.. I can't wait to see how that turns out..
Friendship is like peeing your pants.. Everybody can see it, but only you can feel the warmth..
