I did not get the shots and do not regret it

[pink grapefruit]

I'm still seeing so much of this vaccine nonsense. The other day a girl at work told me she was accepted into a nursing program at a school nearby, but she decided not to go through with it because they required you to have to covid vaccine. I asked her why and she gave the same reason all the women do: fear of reproductive harm, or worsening of PCOS, or some other gyno bullshit.

It's so wild to me that large swaths of the population turned anti-vaxx practically overnight. If asked in 2019 so many of these people would have said they get their flu shot annually and think anti-vaxx types are insane losers.

My faith in humanity has really been shaken in recent years [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]

I think you overestimate the number of people who get flu shots. Quite a lot of people never get one their entire life

I can’t speak for this person at work, but if she was in an otherwise not high risk category for covid complications, then she would be weighing out what concerns she had for getting over covid naturally versus concerns for getting the vaxx. A perfectly reasonable consideration IMO

If there is no reason to take a drug, and this includes any drug, then it’s best not to do it. Now if she was in a high risk category for covid, then yea not getting the vaxx would be a bad call IMO

You brought it up and I replied. Don’t post on public forums if you don’t want replies, that’s sort of their entire purpose

Nobody "turned anti-vaxx". It's not as if everyone started being afraid of the MMR shot or something. The concern is about the covid vaccines, specifically, for specific reasons. People had perfectly reasonable cost\benefit concerns about it being an incredibly young and essentially experimental vaccine for a virus that also had only existed for about five seconds.

Anti-vaxx is a pejorative term that's just being lazily thrown around because it conjurs images of weirdo hippies who think they can cure their cancer with healing crystals and shit, as if being marginally skeptical of the covid vaccines is even remotely on par with such people.

The anti-vaxx stuff is an outgrowth of political opposition to covid policies.

Don't take the golems literally.

i'm healthcare in a somewhat rural area of a very conservative state. it's so, so tiring. we have one hospital and no one was required to get the vaccine. i wish we were just so i didn't feel so surrounded by crazy conspiracists.

miracle vaccine brought to you in record time via the magic of american capitalist ingenuity should make us feel patriotic, but instead it's just tribal psychology-induced insanity spread by boomer facebook memes.

i'm so done with it all. y'all should check out videos of intubation and extubation, and ECMO. friendly reminder that vaccines reduce rates of transmission and even if you're not worried about the virus you're more likely to spread it to others by being unvaccinated.
