My older (6 years old) Grandson's school is shut down this week because someone at school tested covid positive. Well, good timing because it is Winter Break anyway.

He tested negative, as did his parents and grandparents, when his younger brother tested positive a month ago,

I asked my SIL if they were all going to get tested, again. He said no. If we didn't catch it last time, think we will again? They are divorced with shared custody going from household to household. Grandsons Paternal Grandparents, who they live with Dad, refused to get tested first time. I wonder if they are spending hours trying to get their vaccination appointments at 1b phase? My husband who had covid and I aren't getting the vaccination either.

I'm guessing on blood thinners because of some sort of cardiovascular issue and it all went horribly wrong.



We'll all die sometime, but I intend to keep saying 'not today' for as long as I've go places to go and things to see on this beautiful Earth yet.

I enjoy life, always joking, have a lot of friends, great family, good job but have a different point of view than many and that makes me frightening?

I find it frightening that we teach our kids to not follow the crowd and to be individuals and to think for ourselves, yet it seems as adults we are shunned for being independent thinkers and not going with the crowd suddenly. Just saying...

When I donate blood in Miami, they throw in a free covid19 antibody test.
Yes, you will make antibodies.

The risk of serious complications is just as high as dying from covid.

So how do you explain this? Another blame the victim? I'm tired of deniers that blame the victim instead of using science to determine probable cause of death and not validating them. We all agree there are risks but a lot of people here shrug it off like there isn't. Some people shouldn't get the vaccine at all and they should be evaluated before taking the risk.

Don't tell me the lies that there is ZERO risks of death with the vaccine. Nothing is absolute.
No one claims there is zero risk. The risk is miniscule compared to the risk of the disease, however.

A death immediately after getting the shot could be due to an allergic reaction to the vaccine.

They also took a while to admit that severe reactions to the vaccine are higher than normal.
Death investigations take time, and there are not always autopsies done.

The "severe reactions" are mostly the fevers, headaches, muscle pain, and fatigue. The increased number of severe allergic reactions hit the news almost as soon as they happened.

Infertility.
Allergic neuritis (nerve inflammation that can lead to paralysis)
Allergic uveitis (eye muscle inflammation that can compress the optic nerve and lead to blindness)
Congenital disabilities in children.
Neurological damage.
As it turns out, those were ruled out.

Here's the link of the Bill Gates interview where he estimates if 1 in 10k will have permanent damage from the vaccines that's 700,000 across the globe. That's the price we have pay.
Not what he said, as the article you cite describes. He hypothetically said if one in ten thousand had side effects, not that one in ten thousand will have permanent damage.

True, however there has been only one pediatric flu death so far for the 2020-2021 flu season in the US. Last season there were 195 total.

I also enjoy life, have lots of friends, TONS of family, and have an excellent job. I find your perspective frightening because you think we should just let people die because you think we are overpopulated.
We know that wearing a seatbelt saves lives and reduces injury. The hospitalization costs (and lawsuits) would be much much higher without them. I believe that anyone that thinks we should not have such laws and feels that people should "die off" to reduce population is indeed a frightening person.

We do teach thinking for ourselves. Of course we do. You somehow have the idea that just because a science or a government or *some* entity advocates something, to agree is to be some "sheep". And I disagree. Frankly, I think the people that went to DC a few weeks ago were perfect examples of sheep. There is thinking for yourself. And then there is just not thinking at all. I feel that you do more of the latter.

On a side note - I have been to NH - took my son there when he was about 9. It's a beautiful place. I was mildly annoyed that I did not see one single moose however.

Death from shaving my legs is not something that is on my radar.

As it turns out there are sources other than yours but you don't care because no matter how many sources people provide , yours is the only one that's ever right.

The only source in the post you quoted comes from another poster, not me, and he misinterpreted what it said.

.
As of 2/7 the CDC said that no deaths have been attributed to the vaccine so all the investigations must have happened already
