They put the vaccine on my arm and then stabbed me and scratched me with a needle a bunch of times, to make sure that the disease got underneath the skin. Scar about the size of a dime. Never got a polio shot. Red liquid on a sugar cube. And it wasn't a one-time thing. It was at least twice, and I think it was three times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

COVID developed and released in what 8 months. During research I found the fasted any vaccine had been submitted and approved for public use was 2 years. This vaccine is approved for emergency use. It has not been approved formally by the FDA or CDC. The side effects are not fully known. Like J&J and the oh crap blood clot moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baltimore Ed Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 Irish, you make a good point about vaccine development but over 3 million worldwide dead including 600,000 American families would have hoped for an even faster vaccine. There are 266,000,000 American guinea pigs plus the folks in the trials who are your test subjects. I’m 70 and have had my shots along with my son, daughter in law and grandson. The world didn't have 2 years to wait to develop a vaccine. I guess by next spring 2 years will have passed and if we’ve not turned into zombies or grown a third eye you’ll take a couple shots?

JD Lud Posted May 15, 2021 Author Share Posted May 15, 2021 Haha all this and I just realized in WA state they followed CDC and removed mask guidelines for fully vaccinated. They have no plans to issue state guidance on a vaccine card or passport apparently from a quote from The governor and are leaving it up to businesses...which at this time are taking everyone’s word for it. I think this will pretty much be the beginning of the end of masks and the issue will go away....woohoo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, expecting folks who have not been vaccinated to wear masks is futile. It's my observation that folks who aren't going to be vaccinated also don't believe in wearing masks.

Some of us are following the science, not the politics. If you have already had the Covid, the science says the chances of getting it again are negligible. Since you no longer have it, you can't pass it to somebody else. If I'm not going to get it again, and I can't spread it, I don't need the shot, and I don't need to mask. The CDC, WHO, and the rest long ago ceased being about health, but are all about politics. Fauchi has been trying to remain relevant since the 80s when he was trying to tell us that if a cure for AIDS wasn't found soon, we would all die. The rest are no better. They are just politicians at BEST thinking that the rest of us are merely their subjects, and are too stupid to think for ourselves. At WORST, they are using the Covid to convince us that we should simply do as they say and not question authority. If we do so, where will it take us? What does history tell us? Birdqun, if you're in Tucson, and see a fat guy wearing a black Marine Corps soft cover, carrying a 1911 and no mask, stop and say "Howdy".

I have no intention whatsoever of getting the C19 shot. IMO, this is a political weapon pushed by a little rodent who has lost all credibility. I am a 100% supporter of true vaccination.. and 100% against political tools and overreach. We wear a face mask in the locations where it is expected. My dad was a doctor, and two of my daughters are nurses working around C19. The primary means of avoiding infection is by frequent and proper hand washing. Dad used to pound it into me as a kid, "keep your damn hands outa your face." The mask does not prevent infection... it is a barrier to the airborne snot that carries the bug. The typical mask does not cover the eyes.. it is only a barrier for the snotties who sneeze and spew droplets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Lud Posted May 16, 2021 Author Share Posted May 16, 2021 It’s funny that the “honor system” is in place. If it was really this serious and deadly, do you think so many states would just instantly shut off the mandates without a prior plan and say “go use honor system”? Again it just proves the point...they know it’s not going to make a difference on who masks as long as the vulnerable are vaccinated and that it would be a huge fight otherwise. This way they just hand it over to the retailers, who don’t want to divide their customers. It will all be blown over in a month with this plan and quietly goes away. until this falls booster is due then it can start again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The issue is, there has been a full cycle of pregnancies since they started the injections. And it's been mostly those who are too old to get pregnant. We won't see that for another 9 months or more as they inject people in that age category. read this, the CDC even says the vaccines are what you think they are. https://www.cdc.gov/vaccines/covid-19/health-departments/breakthrough-cases.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat Riot Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I had my 2nd Moderna shot one month ago as did my wife. The only side effects that we have had is she was very tired for s couple of days. She slept a lot. I did not have that reaction. Both have us kept gettIng mild headaches every couple of days for about 3 weeks. That was it. Do I feel confident that I am safe from CoVid? Yes and no, but I take my vitamins and supplements. I still wear a mask indoors at stores but not outdoors. That’s just silly unless in a crowd. The control freak that’s the Governor here is going to “allow” people to go maskless on June 15th. Why then? No idea. He’s an idiot. 16 hours ago, Cypress Sun said: You know, this thread has made me think....I'm going to get a cheap necklace and put one of my old dog's rabies shot tag on it.

Baltimore Ed Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I think the CDC dropped the ball and jumped the gun this week. Don’t know if it was political pressure or what. Without a mandatory vaccination of ‘x’ % vaccinated in a given state as the criteria for the elimination of mask protocols I see another wave of illness coming. People are still being infected. People who are anti mask are also anti vax, even during the height of infections they refused to wear a mask. The scary part to me are the variants which will continue to evolve in the huge pools of covid infection overseas but will be easily imported into our country and infect those who don’t get a vax or even take minimal precautions. When covid mutates enough that the present vaccines are ineffective against it we will get to do this whole thing over again. Look at tuberculosis for example, the old strain was defeated by antibiotics but this new strain is resistant. BTW, everyone in my family except my 10 yr old granddaughter are fully vaxed.Stay safe.

I wore a mask when a business mandated it. I and my children have gotten the vaccines that had extensive clinical trials with well documented side effects. As in polio, small pox chicken pox, measles etc. These vaccines have not gone through extensive clinical trials. The people who are in the category of able to have children have not been vaccinated...yet. Children haven't been vaccinated yet. So who knows?

Baltimore Ed Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I’ve also worn my mask everywhere and probably where I didn’t need to. I also waited a while before getting my moderna shots as I’m 70, healthy, retired, living alone and figured on letting others who needed it more be first. I apologize in my generalization, how about if I say- people who are anti mask tend to also be anti covid vaccine.

Because I'm already immune, as is EVERYBODY who has had Covid. I've heard more reports, mostly about politicians who who STRONGLY advocate vaccine AND mask, who have tested positive AFTER getting the vaccine, than I have people getting reinfected.
