guy I work with has had all the shots and had had covid more than anyone else I know and believes the shots help.

I didn't get a covid shot. I'm not 65 years old and sickly. No point, if it worked or not . I'm not at high risk of dying from covid.

Here's what I'm seeing down here in the South....

Wife and I have not and will not get that shot. We have both had covid twice (according to local health dept test). First time was typical as many others....cough, shortness of breath, etc.

Second time, a few aches and pain and a brief coughing spell.

I know of several people that have got all the shots and boosters that have had covid 3, 4, 5 times....with those latter times being worse on them than the first time (which they contracted after getting all those shots.)

I don't know of anyone that did not take the shots that have had covid more than twice.

This isn't hearsay...my oldest son and a 1st cousin being two of those that it seems to be getting worse each time...they both had the shots.

Wife and I will probably contract it again (it's never going away in human populations).....just like influenza strains and common colds.

Nobody wants to be told that they made a wrong decision, especially about their health...I get it, but....

I'll add this: it is my opinion that a healthy human immune system creating its own antibodies is always better than some untested concoction injected into the body.....that has not and is not working like they said it would....'nuf said!

Let them take their shots and hope for the best.

I agree 100% , just don't care for them calling those that don't, conspirers , just because we don't believe in their conspiracy.

Have you ever got the feeling that you’re not in like minded company?? Yeah, I didn’t think so because and your kind lack so much self awareness..

I'm what you would call a conspiracy theorists. Like when covid first came out, all of us were conspiracy theorists for 2 years, then we were just right all along.

Agreed 100%

Proven it was produced in a lab in Wuhan backed by USA money from Obama , and Fauci was the head of the lab.
Strange that Fauci was also head of WHO , and told Trump what to do.

When will you post anything that's true?
Check them out and prove these links are fact or just a conspiracy .

Of course it is. Name calling, flaming, anything to get a post you don't like canceled. Don't worry your no the only one, but I won't report you. Your opinion is worthless to me. Bless your heart.

BandB,

Adorable, you proved my point for me! Conspiracy nonsense.

Produced, but it began here and then moved over there.

Do they block information availability in NY or are you just so well indoctrinated it can't sink in? A simple look into things and you will clearly see everything they said concerning covid was a Lie and the things claimed were conspiracy or far right disinformation is now proven true. Yet you clinging to the lies?

I guess the saying is correct. It's easier to full people than convince them they have been fulled.

Correct, vaccine has a specific definition. It requires the isolation of the pathogen.


I have never had a shot, been sick enough to get tested, and probably wouldn’t get tested if I thought that action would encourage big pharma….normies all around me are still going in for their scheduled shots too…

My home made covid test. I was going to do a beaver damage job for an old buddy. Had a friend here from Canada who wanted to ride along. I was gathering gear and had a few bottles of lure with worn off labels. I was opening lids and smelling for beaver lure. I remember thinking, “this stuff has all gone bad, non of it smells anymore”. About that time my buddy walked into the shop and said “OMG, what the heck is that smell?” From 10’ away. It was a coyote lure l had open but couldn’t smell. LOL!

Dana Carvey and David Spade have a funny podcast on YouTube from a while ago. They laugh about all the shots and boosters and after a guy takes them all, they have no immunity left. Lol.

And of course they are both wrong. Funny doesn't always equal smart.

You're not either. Bahaha
