I respect your decisions. Just as I respect those that chose not to get it. Which was much more difficult and courageous at the time.

I am much more bothered by people who don't test yet come in to my workplace and claim they don't have covid. That's how I got it both times. Didn't matter if they had been vaccinated or not. It mattered that they had covid. The two I got it from knew they felt sick, yet came to work and stayed around people without even taking a free test the company had available. Assholes.
Many in my family, mostly sisters, get very upset and won't let anyone who is unvaccinated into their houses. But I let my cousins (who don't vax for religious reasons) into my house. Why would it matter to me if they were vaccinated or not? What matters is IF THEY HAVE COVID.

I can’t imagine many test anymore. I think they just say they’re sick. If super sick stay home. If sort of sick out in the world. Like always
Here is a question, does big pharma make more money giving everyone one, or two, vaccines for a disease like polio or would they make more by treating millions that have the disease? There is a lot more money in treating conditions, a pill a day for the rest of your life sure beats one or two shots.
Great thing about Covid for them was they got to do both. Vax didn’t stop people from getting or spreading Covid. Win win
And measles, TB, polio, all the rest people now fear?
One of the reasons given we do not develop more antibiotics is that people take them for ten days and are done. There is far more money in managing conditions, such as ED meds. So why would pharma not want everyone to get polio, or TB. There is a logical inconstancy here. If money were the motivator, pharma would be anti vaccine and pushing treatments to make it slightly less burdensome.
The leap that the far right took from the Covid vaccine to all vaccines are bad is wild. Look, you don’t want to get the Covid vaccine or flu shot, fine. But adults not immunizing their children from polio, measles, etc. is neglect at best.
And? RFKjr isn’t anti vax. I’m not anti pharma. The covid vax was experimental. We won’t know all the bad that could come/will from those shots for years. But a day of reckoning is likely coming.
Are you suggesting $ isn’t a motivator?

The right didn’t take the leap you’ve suggested. Maybe fringe far right, but not the masses. And RFKjr doesn’t represent that. You guys are full of shit.
It’s far right, but it’s more than fringe. Indiana’s Lt Governor elect posted about it on Twitter recently. It’s lunacy.
Sorry. You’re just wrong. But keep slurping up that legacy media bs. It’ll take you a long way.
You’re a real one trick pony. By the way, when a person posts something on their twitter account, it’s not “legacy media”.
One person stating something doesn’t make it more than fringe. Please post the exact quote. I don’t know what was said.
You do understand most vaccine hesitancy today was caused by the Covid mess.

I’m not playing a game of gotcha with you. Do your own research. I get wanting to believe the legacy media from the left. People like echo chambers and that’s exactly what it is for you people. But the truth is, they are nothing more than an arm of the Democratic party. And they are going extinct because of it.
Fox sucks also.
At best, RFKjr is a "vaccine skeptic," and he's a conspiracy theorist. It floors me that MAGA Republicans ignore and forgive his claims that GWB lost the 2004 election due to voter fraud in Ohio. Why do you think MAGA Republicans love RFKjr so much?
A COVID vaccine was urgently needed and originally authorized under the "emergency use authorization." It was in the experimental stage at the time, but did have clinical trials, despite misinformation at the time saying it didn't. It is no longer experimental by definition after additional sufficiently long clinical trials and isn't any more experimental than the annual flu vaccine.

COVID-19 mRNA vaccines were tested in clinical trials, aren’t experimental - Science Feedback
Clinical trials and ongoing vaccine monitoring efforts show that COVID-19 vaccines are effective at reducing a person’s risk of severe disease and death. Like any medical intervention, vaccines also come with risks. While COVID-19 mRNA vaccines are linked to a slight increase in the risk of...

Why haven't you linked the sources that give you the "real" news and information?
I don’t know how that’s possible. My kids can’t go to school without updated vax records
It's clearly caused by misinformation about COVID spread by easily duped people. There were millions of shares on social media of totally made-up nonsense information which was "slurped up" by people that are easily duped.
The bolded is a common phrase on social media made by people that don't have a clue what "research" is or how to do it. Generally, it means they go to dubious non-expert sites that tell them exactly what they're predisposed to believe and want to believe.
Regarding checking the fact checkers, the scientific method does that. If you fake a scientific study, others will analyze it, repeat it, get different results, and refute your alleged "facts". Every time.
It's a mindset that is perpetually self-correcting.
Vaccine "skeptic" is a stupid phrase. A skeptic is a person who requires valid evidence to reach a conclusion regarding a hypothesis. I am a skeptic. Any scientist is. Any good detective, policeman, judge, or lawyer is.
Denying the legitimacy of valid evidence is not skepticism, it is denialism.

I get it.
You don't want to list your trusted media sources. I guess you have your reasons.
