For me -- it's about the same.

I have a tight circle of four other couples -- they are all conservative and 6 out of 8 of them were first in line when they could get vaccinated.

One man, and another woman -- not a couple have not yet been vaccinated.

I'm a conservative who got myself vaccinated, but only just bc I waited a long time. Some people in my family still don't want to do it and nobody cares. We aren't one of THOSE families! LOL!

I got vaccinated so the risk of me carrying the damn thing to the elderly and immunocompromised was low. Seemed the decent thing to do.
But the vaccine does not prevent you from getting, carrying, and spreading Covid. So why bother?

Um, because nearly 300 million doses of vaccine were given in addition to the regular routine vaccinations that are given in a normal year. The majority of those vaccines were given to old people. So if someone in their 90s died, it was reported. People die every single day, so it stands to reason that when half of all adults or more are getting these vaccines, some will coincidentally die.

When have we had 300 million vaccine doses given over a six-month period of time before?

Let's say that those 4,500 deaths WERE caused by the vaccine even though we know that they weren't. That's 0.0015% of doses given that potentially caused a death (and remember, that's a gross exaggeration and assuming that every death, even the "he fell off a roof" and "she died from terminal brain cancer" ones were caused by a vaccine).

Why would anyone avoid a vaccination with that amazing success rate? You have a 99.9985% chance of not having any deadly issues. You're much more at risk driving to the vaccination site than actually getting the shot!

We give something like 160 million people in the USA a flu vaccine every year, also to old people.

Vaccinated and tired of arguing with the ignorance of people that avoid truth and go out of their way to believe and spread misinformation.

FACT: not one of those "deaths" reported on VAERS has been proven to be from the vaccination....


why wont you acknowledge that.... because it doesn't fit your agenda
I'm sure there are those kinds of deaths are reported every year to VAERS. Care to explain the huge spike from 2019 to 2020? Is your brain up to the challenge?
