Are you glad you got the Covid Vaccine? Did it help?

  As Michael Shermer once put it, 'Smart people are actually better at rationalizing things they arrived at through non-smart reasons.'

  Two reasons, First, due to their otherwise good decision making, they may be more blind to the idea that they are vulnerable to conspiracy theories or other irrational conclusions. I.E. their confidence in their own intelligence, can feed a confirmation bias formed through religious, political, cultural leanings.

  Secondly, they are good at stringing together rationalizations.

  Your claims are total and completely laughable bullshit.

  That is all.

  The connection between covid and cancer is people either not getting in to see the doctor or not getting there cancer biopsy back in time because of the strain on the healthcare system because of the pandemic.

  There was a huge drop in cancer diagnosis in 2021 followed by a spike in 2023. Figure it out.

  Covid killed more people indirectly than directly.

  It’s becoming evident that there was Never a need for a world Lock Down. It was all orchestrated to prevent Trump from being President

  🤦‍♂️ So… full conspiretard then. Complete with unnecessary formatting and misplaced capital letters. 🙄

  I've had all the vaccinations and all the follow up "boosters". I have never had Covid but whether I would have without the vaccinations is something we will never know.

  One thing I do know though is that a lot in my congregation have had/still have Covid and there have been three deaths from it. I still (always have) maintained a distance from people, not into hugging and kissing (Sis England excepted!)

  I might mention that even back then people were suspicious of vaccines too, but it was bad and I remember people in the 50's seeing children dying or "crippled" by polio. Very few families were untouched. But there were requirements in place to get them that because of their experiences were willing to get and were grateful they were there. The WTS was anti-vax until 1952 when a Questions From Readers was printed. But the belief that the WTS forbid getting a vaccination still persisted until covid when the WTS saw the problem that could arise if they continued their ban and came out more clearly to jws that they should get the vaccination.

  "Questions From Readers

  ● Is vaccination a violation of God’s law forbidding the taking of blood into the system?—G. C., North Carolina.

  The matter of vaccination is one for the individual that has to face it to decide for himself. Each individual has to take the consequences for whatever position and action he takes toward a case of compulsory vaccination, doing so according to his own conscience and his appreciation of what is for good health and the interests of advancing God’s work. And our Society cannot afford to be drawn into the affair legally or take the responsibility for the way the case turns out.

  After consideration of the matter, it does not appear to us to be in violation of the everlasting covenant made with Noah, as set down in Genesis 9:4, nor contrary to God’s related commandment at Leviticus 17:10-14. Most certainly it cannot reasonably or Scripturally be argued and proved that, by being vaccinated, the inoculated person is either eating or drinking blood and consuming it as food or receiving a blood transfusion. Vaccination does not bear any relationship to or any likeness to the intermarriage of angelic “sons of God” with the daughters of men, as described in Genesis 6:1-4. Neither can it be put in the same class as described at Leviticus 18:23, 24, which forbids the mingling of humans with animals. It has nothing to do with sex relations...."

  I grew up as one of the early generations of children getting a full range of vaccinations. Parents were well aware of the horrors of polio and smallpox and had lived through other disease outbreaks, so there was no real pushback when vaccines were developed and given to children. But we are human, and one thing that happens is that we have to find a tiger in every bush. So, as vaccines became common and many scary diseases disappeared or stopped being scary, we decided that the vaccines were the tiger, instead.

  I got the first COVID shots because I needed to; my employer insisted on them. I didn't get the boosters mostly because I was being lazy about it. I did get COVID; it lasted two days and I was very tired but otherwise was fine. I don't know if the vaccine made a difference, but I am not complaining.

  Both my wife and I got our COVID shots. Moderna to be exact.

  I didn’t tell many people of my vax status. We have a medical privacy act in Alberta. It was all thrown out the window during COVID along with a lot of other labour laws.

  My first shot I didn’t feel a thing. Second dose I literally fell out of my chair at the clinic. I was that sick from the shot.

  The Canadian government and Alberta government did a very poor job in handling the illness.

  Deena Hinshaw and Jason Kenney didn’t do their jobs. Many of the lockdowns and restrictions are now being deemed unlawful and compensation will be paid out by the alberta government because the cabinet ministers made decisions that were ultimately Deena Hinshaws to make. She was the Chief Medical Officer and had the authority to arrest violators and lock down businesses and she didn’t. The cabinet did and it was not debated properly in legislature.

  As far as my wife and I we are both still alive and well. I know people that died of COVID that had all the vaccinations and some that had covid with no vax and survived so I’m not sure. I don’t have all the facts.

  All I know is the governments reaction to this pandemic destroyed a lot of peoples lives, divided families, and was basically a 100% shit show.

  It seems to me from what I read, that those days when there was polio, and all those other diseases that we don't see today, was a much worse time than the one we are living in right now.

  I mean back in the early 1900s, there was everything bad. Two world wars, tons of diseases we don't have today, two atomic bombs that disintegrated two cities, no medicare, no Social Security, a great depression.

  I can see why the Watchtower was able to convince a lot of people that they were now in the last days.

  But that's not the case today. I know a lot of poor people without jobs who somehow drive nice cars, have tons of streaming services, get plenty of food stamps, always have beer and cigarettes, and pot in their home, and medicaid for all their kids. Plus I know a lot of girls younger than me, that are making between 10k -40k a week in only fans and live a luxury life style.

  I guess I was born in a time when a lot of things don't make sense. 19 year old girls making more money than a heart surgeon. Where thieves in some States can steal $999.99 worth of merchandise and not get charged. Where the USA is not really a Country anymore with open borders. And where a lot of people believe a man can have a baby. And let's not forget the elites trying hard to control all the masses and resources world wide.

  I'm actually working on moving out of the US, but I don't know where? And if the USA starts a WW3, no place will be safe.

  And I don't believe Kenny Rogers is coming to save the day.
