This thread is racist.

Absolutely FALSE! They are not dumb, they need to be educated on why they need the vaccine abd

nd it's working!


We couldn't get through a thread on vaccinations without racist coming up!

And a lot of people with PhDs and upper level degrees are complete morons.

In other news, water is wet.

Oh, wow. Maybe the science isn't settled? I'll check back next week to see if water is dry.

Today's proliferation of college indoctrinated fools trained to listen, obey, and never think at all is why we're in the mess we're in.

The last place to search for education today is on a college campus.
I have noticed this with some PHDs. Some of the most educated people are truly the most indoctrinated people and the more time spent in the world of academia, the less in touch with people who live and work everyday in the “real world”.

A very tiny percentage will get a significant illness after being vaccinated. Some of them would die with being vaccinated.

Everything has risk but the risk of the vaccine is far less than COVID-19 even for the healthiest people.

Stop being a drama queen.

If you're over 75 then get the vaccine. Otherwise, use your immune system.

Your TV has really terrified you.

The risk of the virus is far greater than the risk of the vaccine for all age groups. The immunity generated by the vaccine is stronger and lasts longer than the immunity from the infection.

Unless you have some new data, I do not believe that is yet known.

There have been 205,000 hospitalizations in my age group. I had a 4% chance of being hospitalized, if I tested positive. That means I was 24x more likely to NOT need hospitalization. I have 0.75% chance of being hospitalized by population, or a 99x likelihood of not being hospitalized.

there have been 66,000 deaths. That means I had a 1.3% chance of dying if I tested positive, or a 98.7% chance of NOT dying if I tested positive.. I had a 0.24% chance of dying by population, or I was 400x more likely to NOT die from Covid.

People like you always talk about "ME". What about the vulnerable people you could infect? I hope these is something you want to do but cannot because you cannot prove you are vaccinated.
