It has been more than 4 months since I took my first Covid-19 mRNA based
vaccine dose and according to a number of blog/forum posts by
anti-Covid-19 vaxers I should be dead by now or at least in horrible
health.
I could say the same thing. I Never got the vaccine, I got Covid and got a slight headache for a couple of hours. None of my employees got vaccinated either and they are all still alive and well, Half of my family never got vaccinated and they are past the age of 60, and they are all alive and well.
The other half of my family did take the vaccine, but they are able to reason that the family that choose not to take the vaccine was simply because they researched and came to the conclusion that because of their age and health, they didn't need the vaccine
I work as a plumber and my employees and I were unclogging toilets, sinks, showers, repair pipes at hospitals when covid was at its peak and there was still no vaccine.
All of us have natural immunity because all of us got Covid.
You took two philosophy courses in logic and you Still can't seem to figure out the difference between anti-vaxers and people who CHOOSE NOT TO TAKE THIS PARTICULAR VACCINE because of the research they have done..
BTW I have two degrees, one in business and one in Science.
I do not consider myself an ‘anti-vaxxer’ but have not gotten this particular vaccine..not yet anyway.
It's a tough call LHG. In my family's case, there were a couple of older ones that were not going to take the vaccine. I suspected one of them was not in good health because of his diet, his lack of exercise, and always complaining that he didn't feel good just about every other day. Plus he didn't believe "Men" needed doctors.
So I personally took him to get a physical checkup. They did a full blood panel on him. and come to find out he had very high cholesterol, extreme HIgh Blood Pressure, and high blood sugar.
The Doctor explained to him that he was at high risk for dying if he got Covid. He explained that his body was what you call an immune compromise individual and if he got Covid real bad, it would be an excruciating death.
He decided to get the vaccine.
He is now taking his health more seriously and understands that he can still catch Covid so he avoids crowds, wears a mask, and learned a very healthy habit----(He washes his hands regularly)
Some other of my elderly family saw he was ok after taking the vaccine and they followed his example.
Yes there are risks with the vaccine considering it didn't go through all the loopholes and it is being politicize by one particular party.
But Covid is real and it is targeting certain groups of people.
The problem is sometimes we don't know if we have a medical condition that we are not aware of.
