Why do we have a vaccine against a virus?

I didn’t think you didn’t approve?   Not sure what you mean.  I said I wasn’t sure of your stance on the vaccine as a whole, and honestly I’m still not.  You are saying we may not know for 40 years if it’s killing people (I’m taking that to mean you don’t currently think it is), and it’s a symptom suppressant, which are mostly positive opinions.

I've made my stance on the vaccine quite clear.  It's NOT a traditional vaccine that is meant to prevent people from getting COVID and/or spreading it.  It's purely a symptom relief medication, no different than something like Theraflu.  Because of the mandates from the government virtually forcing or strong arming people into getting them, there will never actually be a study done on the side affects of the "vaccines" for a good 30 to 40 years.  At which point, they will find problems and settle an out-of-court class action suit (like the whole Camp Lejeune incident), and just set aside a couple billion dollars to pay out to family members of those who died because of the side affects.  Each person will get a slap in the face amount of like $10k, and in the end, no one will remember that the government/government officials had a hand in deceiving and poisoning a lot of people... just like no one is blaming the government for all the people getting cancer at Camp Lejeune (just an example).

I'm not a scientist or doctor.  I don't have all the data, so I can't say for sure that the vaccine is killing people.  That said, I can see and read.  To me, there's clear evidence that it should be looked into because there's credible information pointing to it.  The longer the government fails to investigate, the more I'm convinced the information is valid.

You're still being incredibly vague.   Do you think it works at relieving symptoms?  How many people do you think will get payouts 30 to 40 years from now?  

If the answers to those questions are yes and not a significant number,  then I'm not really seeing much that you disagreed with what Trump did about the vaccine, and thus you are in fact wearing MAGA colored glasses.  Of course Trump did not impose the mandates.

I have no idea how many will be payed out, just like I currently don't know how many were paid out for Camp Lejeune or any other class action suit that was settled.

No, I don't disagree with what Trump did about the vaccine.  His job was to listen to the "experts" at the CDC, WHO, and alike and put something in motion that fell in line with what they suggested.  He did that.  His job was to be a facilitator.  It wasn't his job to mandate that people take vaccine, which he did not do.  His job wasn't to make the vaccine, which he did not do.  He did his job, and did it well.  Period.  I give him credit for doing his job and doing it well, plain and simple.

For the most part I agree.   But what he did in "doing that job" included speeding up the approval process.   If there turns out to be significant safety issues (which I don't think there will be), then he is partly at fault.

Pharmaceutical companies are protected from liability regarding the COVID-19 vaccines.

I agree, because as usual you idiots post stuff that is not even my position.   It's always mixed with moronic stuff that you think some "lib" somewhere believes.   Not sure where I was defending being lied to or that I would decriminalize fraud.   We will disagree that people who refused the jab weren't taken in by politicians and SM.  

Yes, in an ideal world the population would have a base knowledge of medicine, viruses, and their bodies (stuff that is covered in HS biology for the most part) AND they wouldn't get lied to.   Yes, I put a large part of that responsibility on people informing themselves.    We were going through a pandemic, and I can't tell you how many people didn't understand base info about how a virus acts or is spread.   So, when you encounter somebody saying that you'd be immune if you got vaccinated, you'd know they were full of sh1t and that didn't make sense.    IF you didn't have that knowledge and was largely getting your info from the White House and Social Media, again - that's on you.   

It seems like you and your crew like to trumpet about personal responsibility, but then get all pissy when I suggest part of that is reading decent info and getting educated on something.   Then it's.... but, but, but - Fauci and Biden!!

See, this is where you are off base, IMO.   No, it didn't make you immune, but it did provide some protection that way.  You are giving it 0 credit for even that by saying the bolded.   Yes, what you are getting at largely became it's main function - to lessen the symptoms if you caught it (aka less likely to die as well).   The main reason to consider the shot was because of the asymptomatic spread, again going back to that first part - it did protect against that as well.   I don't think it's a mystery why the unvaccinated population had a higher death rate.  

A large portion of our population are old, fat, and have co-morbidities that would have made the shot make sense - but because they believe stuff like the bolded or that the vaccine was worthless because it didn't make you immune, way too many chose not to take the shot when they should have.

I got vaccinated against the measles when I was a kid. Once. Never got a booster. 50 years later and still no measles.

The covid shot isn't a vaccine. It's like a flu shot. I've never gotten a flu shot and, to my knowledge, never gotten the flu. I didn't get the covid shot and got covid once. It was little more than a cold with a fever. Healthy people are better off letting their immune system do its job.

Or if they got info from the CDC... since before they "clarified" the definition of a vaccine, it clearly said a vaccine produces immunity.

And this is 100% rewriting history because the widely accepted definition was vaccine = immunity.  Just like when people used the word literally to mean an exaggeration.  And here's where gutter says, "but small pox vax is only 97%," or whatever, but let's try to pull our head's out of our asses - as hard as that may be for some.  For the vast majority of people... including apparently the CDC!!!!... a vaccine generally meant you were then immune to the disease you were being vaccinated for.

I get we need to defend the covid shots to the death because god forbid we acknowledge someone on the blue team focked up, but this whole narrative of, "no one ever said a covid vaccine would make you immune," is 100% grade-A BS.  This is all some technicality-ridden semantic BS.  It was misleading.  They were either incompetent or purposefully opaque and neither one of those things are good.

Does this mofo know that the flu shot changes every year, and does provide immunization against the strains contained in that year's shot?

If they just said the same thing about the covid shot, we wouldn't have a problem.  They didn't.  they said if you got it, you wouldn't get COVID.  You wouldn't spread the vid, and if you didn't get the shot, you would kill grandma.  Most vaccines actually do work that way in general.  The flu shot is more unique in that it addresses strains, but unless they say, "Oh by the way, this is like the flu shot.  It might work or it might not," people are going to naturally assume it's similar to all the other vaccines we take.

Now he's going to go run and find examples of some more vaccines that need boosters that no one heard of.  Go run to your google.  "Oooh here's a vaccine for dypfocockysuckulous that has to be taken every 6 months."

You were supposed to assume that it was like the flu shot and not like the 9 out of 10 other vaccines you took where after 1 or 2 doses you're good for life even though everyone was saying they worked like the 9 out of 10 other vaccines that work for life after taking 1 or 2 doses.  Everyone was supposed to assume they were full of sh¡t, and if you didn't you were dumb.  Hell, I actually did know they were full of sh¡t and they think I'm dumb for thinking that was too large of an expectation.

Think about how conveniently retarded this is:

"Hi guys, I know you've taken a bunch of vaccines that conferred immunity on you for life.  "

"Here's a vaccine that will make sure you don't get covid and won't spread covid."

"Here check out this CDC definition that says a vaccine makes you immune."
