I’ve never disputed that the majority of Covid deaths were old (but not all of them, and a small increase in absolute deaths in younger people can still result in a large % increase).  But people are trying to claim “the vax is killing the young and healthy,” when often times they’re not even young and healthy to begin with, and often other times there is another confirmed cause of death 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes that would be worthy of being a story, but that’s not mutually exclusive from also acknowledging that most Covid deaths were/are among older people. And when the vax is confirmed to be linked to the death of someone (even moreso of a younger person), that is worthy of being a story too. But it’s tiring to hear lod literally saying anytime someone has a heart attack or “dies suddenly” and they got the vax (or sometimes we don’t even know if they got the vax!) at any point in the past 2 years, that they died because of the vax. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

First 2 shots are still protective against hospitalization and death.  The only real argument against them (particularly for older adults) now is that most people likely also have natural immunity by now too. I believe you need the first 2 in order to be eligible for the new booster.  But, remember if you are scared of the mRNA the Novavax is available now too.  And pretty sure the government isn’t going to be needing many more doses from Pfizer/Moderna than they had already ordered, so I don’t think they’re making any more money with the new booster being available.

Shooter McGavin 589 Posted October 17, 2022 I know you guys are all anti-vax, but I'll share anyway. I was vax skeptical when it first came out, ended up getting 2 pfizer shots anyway after enough people got them and people weren't turning magnetic, since then I've gotten covid twice and was fine both times. I also had covid before the shots and was pretty damn sick. So at this point I don't see the need to get any more shots. I'm sure I'll get covid again, and it will be mild again, regardless. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're overzealous about defending the vax. Young healthy people shouldn't take it. Older people and those with pre-existing conditions should. The dominant message right now is everyone 5 and up should take it (or whatever the age ranges people are advocating for these days), and if you listen to some people, you're a jerk if you don't get it. That's the prevailing sentiment. That needs to be fixed, so you coming in here and nitpicking arguments about why people shouldn't take the vax aren't helping anything. Who cares if the reasoning isn't 100% sound? It wasn't 100% sound when they were pushing it down our throats either. We need the pendulum to swing back the other way, so we land somewhere near common sense.
