Every other thread here involves covid or is related to covid. Emotions are WAY off the scale.

This being the case, let's take this in a different, interesting direction:

Let's imagine that one day the experimental vaccine(s) began showing signs of causing serious, life-threatening medical conditions or death--JUST pretend, this is a "what if."

With the seething hatred that the "vaxxers" now have against the "anti-vaxxers," what do you think the general reaction of the "vaxxers" would be toward the "anti-vaxxers" in such a scenario?


Personally, I think there would be lots of deaths and lots of injuries perpetrated by the "vaxxers" just out of spite or revenge when the other side would (hypothetically) be put in a position of being justified in saying, I told you so...



Note: I'm not bringing this up because I think it is going to happen, but we have these "what if" threads here all the time, and this is an interesting one. In fact it is so interesting that it might make a very good novel (remember, guys and gals, a NOVEL is a work of FICTION, so calm down).

Their attitude wouldn't change. Look at current threads here and see that people are in denial. There's a whole thread fawning over Biden, saying he's honorable and there are no scandals he's been involved with. In another thread liberals are stating all rioters were arrested last year.

Stupid or liar - which one are they?

Nothing would change. They'd continue to hate the unvaccinated because they're hateful people who think they're the smartest ones in the room.

Tell me if this possible reaction sounds too far fetched:

The leaders of this cabal will cough up yet another gaslighting narrative - truly unbelievable - blaming their plight on some sort of conspiracy, very possibly involving the Russians or the Chinese, working in colusion with their domestic adversaries (you know who), to cause whatever harm they have inflicted on themselves.

This isn't (and has never been) political to me. At the moment, with the best information we have available, being vaccinated saves more lives. If that changes, so will my position.

Hadn't thought of that. But if history is any predictor, that could certainly be a reaction. Which of course, would cause even more intense hatred and bent out of shape reactions. A "you did this to me" kind of a deal. Interesting.

I have zero doubts those that got vaxxed will have regrets one day. For many it’s already happening. You’ll just never hear their stories due to censorship. My mother got vaxxed, she’s had full body rashes that are painful the break out every 2 to 3 weeks and last 2 to 3 weeks since she got vaccinated. She tried to post it on her Facebook and it was deleted by Facebook.

You folks have no idea what’s coming.

I have a friend experiencing the same thing. She debated whether to get vaxed and decided to do it. Two weeks later she is sick as a dog with confirmed covid and a horrific rash. OMG I feel so bad for her! Other than the rash she seems to be recuperating, I just hope things don't take a turn for the worse.

I myself will NEVER take that poison! I have seen too many suffer side effects that they blame on something else. I have spent a lot of years building up my immune system which is really the best defense one can have. I get sun, fresh air, exercise, drink lots of water, get good sleep and take several antioxidants. I also take no meds, not even over the counter. I haven't had the flu in decades (no vaccines) and only a couple of colds.

I agree with the above poster, people have no idea what's coming.

I think the premise is off. It's not the anti-vaxxers who forced the vaccine on unwilling people. One might be able to make a case that the vaxxers have forced the vaccine on the unwilling (due to requirements to get the shot or get fired), but I haven't seen it go the other way around. So if, in this hypothetical scenario, those who have gotten vaccinated suddenly end up violently ill or are dropping dead because of it, they won't get mad at the anti-vax crowd. If anything, they'll regret not listening to them. Instead, they'll get mad at the medical establishment (the CDC, Dr. Fauci, etc.) and also, in some cases, their own employers, who pushed the vaccines on them.

I'm very sorry to hear about your mother, and I hope she enjoys a full recovery very soon. FWIW, neither I not anyone in my family nor anyone I personally know has had any negative reaction to the vaccine whatsoever, other than a little soreness and a little nausea in a few cases, that quickly cleared up. As to what may, or may not, happen down the road, only time will tell.

I had heard that a Facebook group, for people to share their stories about vaccine side effects, had been taken down. IIRC it had about 30,000 members.
But I had no idea Facebook wouldn't even allow an individual to post about side effects on their own page!! That is outrageous!
