This will be a yearly vaccine just like the flu shot. Doesn't have to be. If you wanna keep bending over feel free though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 At least my family and I feel safer with the vaccine. Vaccines have gotten rid of many diseases over the years. you do whatever you feel you need to, but covid isn't going anywhere for a very long time. and if you want to be rude why don't you tell your mother that and show her this picture too.

AxlisOld Posted September 27, 2023 Share Posted September 27, 2023 Yes, they've gotten rid of them. By stopping the virus from spreading. Not by making you feel shitty for a week after you get it and the making you feel shitty for yet another week because you still caught COVID. But thank God I got that vaccine or think of what COULD HAVE happened. COVID has morphed into a cold at this point. Again, if you feel safer with the shot that still lets you get sick, go nuts.

Are you denying that the vaccines reduce the likelihood of severe disease? And not all vaccines completely eradicate diseases. It would have been great if that was the case, but it isn't for Covid-19 vaccines and it isn't for many others like flu shots. And even with vaccines, Covid-19 is much deadlier than the common cold. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no way to prove either way, because vaccinated people still die, and unvaccinated people still have mild illness. It's called science. They gave the vaccines to thousands of people and placebo (fake medicine) to an equal amount of people and simply counted how many got severe disease and how many didn't. Turned out it really reduced the chance of severe disease. So FDA approved the vaccines and since then they have saved millions of lives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AxlisOld Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 How about when the disease is no longer severe? I've known a few people who had OG COVID, and yes, they said it was absolute hell. We're now to the common cold strain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many reasons for that, most people are protected now through innoculations and previous infections, many of the most vulnerable have already died, the new variants are less virulent, etc. Still, it's more dangerous than the cold. Now, in hindsight, it just dawned on me what a remarkable time in history it was. Good to be beyond it.

The flu kills people every year as well, but you don't have people getting tattoos to commemorate their flu shot, or more importantly, losing their fucking minds at those who don't believe they need to get a flu shot. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The deaths from Covid-19 were unprecedented in our generation. Still, of course people overreacted on either side. Never have I seen such a grand display of anti-science as all the anti-vaxxers that popped up and steadfastly refused to accept the science behind the vaccines. Quite disheartening, actually. Oh well. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweersa Posted December 13, 2023 Share Posted December 13, 2023 A guy at work last night told me he developed diabetes after his covid vaccine. I had never heard of that before, (typically only heart issues as a result of it/them) so I Googled it at home and there was a study from a .gov website that found it having occurred in some others as well who were genetically more prone to get diabetes. I have had covid at least once. No covid vaccines though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dazey Posted December 22, 2023 Share Posted December 22, 2023 Caught me a dose of the ‘vid last week in a work meeting. Been feeling a bit shit since the weekend but nothing more than a mild cold symptoms wise. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dontdamnmeuyi2015 Posted December 27, 2023 Share Posted December 27, 2023 Covid and the flu are up in most Southern states including Texas. Vaccines are low. No matter what anyone says, covid is like the flu and it'll be here forever. I have friends who got covid when there wasn't any vaccine yet and they still have side effects. Covid is no joke.

AtariLegend Posted June 29 Share Posted June 29 I have had this for about a week and it sucks. First few days my bones felt like ice, but no cough or anything else. Then the cough came/runny nose. A sore throat that made it difficult to sleep for multiple days was the worst, it felt like swallowing acid almost every few moments. I took gazillion lossegeners, chloroseptic sprat ect just to ease it about 50% for a few hours. It's fortunately calmed down and now I just cough. Tests still show positive after a week. I assume it's FLIRT I have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrayWyatt Posted July 11 Share Posted July 11 I thought I had COVID again but I tested myself and I was negative. 5 days later and I started to feel worse. I got an appointment with the doctor and was told that I have whooping cough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoulMonster Posted August 10 Share Posted August 10 Increasing evidence that the Sars CoV-2 virus actually did originate from the lab in Wuhan. Still, nothing conclusive and experts divided on the matter. We will likely never get it confirmed unless the Chinese grants full access to samples in the labs.
