Are there any good effects of this vaccine? Does it in any way balance out the extremely rare side effects?

well depending on what data or statistics you use it could either significantly or somewhat reduce your risk of serious complications and hospitalization but so does quarantine and social distancing. if you're in a position where you have contact with many people on a daily basis you should probably get the vaccine and the boosters even with the waning efficacy

*taps the sign that says you get to a point where so many people are vaccinated that the scales tip and you have more vaccinated in hospital than unvaccinated.


This is how it's supposed to work and you got to factor in age and comorbidities at this point in most countries case data.


People saying the vaccinations don't work are anti-vaxers by stealth.

lol. The antivaxxers are the ones who insisted, against all human knowledge, that we could make a durable, sterilizing vaccine to a coronavirus. The shots work fine, it's the immune system that's not up to it. It's like everyone forgot the vaccines were a longshot to end the pandemic and think they are just an end condition.

Edit: there are still enormous benefits to the shot, it's just not enough

i don't think it's the end solution that everyone is making it out to be. i don't think it warrants demonizing people as "anti vaxxers" and celebrating people's deaths while blanket mandating it for everyone across the board regardless of age or risk factor.

but of course doing all that sure gets those stock prices soaring.

Getting a big laugh out of "how can we possibly know whether this 20 year-old technology is safe, we need to trial the vaccine for 100 years before authorizing its use" when smallpox inoculation carried a 2% fatality rate, was guaranteed to give you a scar, and was an injection of ground up pustules taken from the open sores developed by previous recipients of the inoculation.

Ben Franklin openly wept when one of his kids died of smallpox and was like "you need to get your kids incoluated right the gently caress now. I am not even joking, I will shove an entire almanac up the rear end of any variolation skeptic who has the misfortune of crossing my path, gently caress you." - that's a direct quote look it up

Been seeing some stuff about how a nasally administered vaccine might help decrease infections down the line and also reduce the chance of brain damage from long covid through mucosal immunity. The current vaccines are pretty good at protecting the lungs and heart but the antibodies don’t get as far into the parts of the body that are most likely to encounter the virus first.

gosh I wonder which is more profitable, several weeks of treatment for severe covid-19 infection followed by treating potentially a lifetime of long-covid symptoms, or a vaccine that prevents all of that for which they receive a small nominal fee

i just can't figure out which of these numbers is bigger can anyone help, i am very dumb

I'M CONCERNED ABOUT A NUMBER OF THINGS
I feel like this sort of vaccine skepticism is a problem that should eventually resolve itself one way or another and I have trouble getting mad at it now. It’s dumb as gently caress but telling people that isn’t going to change their mind so I’m happy for them to gently caress around and find out.

nobody really addresses the (valid) reasons for the skepticism they just throw their hands up and make blanket statements like your post or they cherry pick the obviously stupid/incorrect/tin foil poo poo so i'm sorry you haven't been able to change anyone's mind by screaming about how you're happy they're more likely to die from complications

also i know there's zero point in saying this and nobody is going to say anything aside from calling me an antivaxxer/idiot/hope i die but i just want to mention that they are obviously developing a treatment (no poo poo!!) and i can guarantee you they will advise that you take in conjunction with the vaccine so please feel free to tell me how unprofitable this whole process will be

it would be interesting if it wasn't the same poo poo we hear from tuck constantly.

How dumb do you have to be to argue that the mRNA vaccine that has been in development for 50 years is unsafe, simply because they changed the payload to covid?

what exactly do you think is lurking in our blood streams that is going to cause "issues" in the future? The vaccine is out of your system by now if you took it.

You think the t-cells that the covid vaccine help create are going to turn into poison in 100 days? 3 years? 20? You don't understand science and you are stupid I'm sorry to break it to you.

*dur dur im not antivax i served in the military and got vaxxed a lot!* kind of says it all.
