Kiko Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 The Pandemic's Wrongest Man You could spend days reading posts of anti vaxxers here on Chapala.com who throw out all kinds of nonsense. One consistent theme in these posts is that these posters completely ignore the fatality rate statistics of the Vaxxed vs Non-vaxxed. Dead people in body bags, got it? That is the bottom line, not the infection rate. Numbers do not lie. 1 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Numbers do not lie. https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2021/04/pandemics-wrongest-man/618475/ "To be honest, I initially had serious doubts about publishing this piece. The trap of exposing conspiracy theories is obvious: To demonstrate why a theory is wrong, you have to explain it and, in doing so, incur the risk that some people will be convinced by the very theory you’re trying to debunk. But that horse has left the barn. More than half of Republicans under the age of 50 say they simply won’t get a vaccine. Their hesitancy is being fanned by right-wing hacks, Fox News showboats, and vaccine skeptics like Alex Berenson. The case for the vaccines is built upon a firm foundation of scientific discovery, clinical-trial data, and real-world evidence. The case against the vaccines wobbles because it is built upon a steaming pile of bullshit." Built on bullshit and maliciousness!

Kiko Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 I know of two posters on this board who rant and rave about the dangers of Covid vaccinations but in fact they have been vaccinated with Pfizer and the booster.

Zeb Posted January 26 Report Share Posted January 26 Well. This term "anti-vaxers" in really ridiculous. People are not against all vaccines. It is just that there is no confidence in these injections and I don't understand why anyone should criticize those who chose another way to handle their health. It is all personal choice. Some probably do well with those injections and some do not. There is NOT one size fits all medication or treatment method for everyone. We are not machines to be fixed with standardized equipment. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let me explain again. We are vaccinated for ourselves as well as for our community. Unvaxxed have a higher viral load than vaxxed persons. If someone is exposed to an unvaxxed person with Covid, they are more likely to contract Covid and receive more and stronger virus in the process. Not getting vaccinated may be a personal choice, but it is a very selfish and irresponsible one IMHO. 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, to be fair, people who don't take care of themselves often end up hospitalized due to complications of obesity, high blood pressure, heart attacks, etc., so they do put unnecessary strain on the health care system. But it's not nearly so immediate nor wide-ranging as infecting others with a contagious disease. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is just that there is no confidence in these injections and I don't understand why anyone should criticize those who chose another way to handle their health. I can guarantee that if the internet had existed back when they came up with a vaccine for smallpox and polio, there would have been people spreading misinformation about those vaccines, and other people believing the misinformation and having "no confidence" in them. We'd still have people dying of smallpox and ending up in wheelchairs for the rest of their lives due to polio because they made a "personal choice" not to get vaccinated or had contact with someone who made that choice. How one deals with a highly contagious and deadly disease isn't a matter of handling one's own health. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RVGRINGO Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 And it is the reason that public health authorities can take certain actions; like quarentines, closures, and even some 'mandates'. It is for the "public good". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I guess I am putting you at risk to a stronger flu reaction ? 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find the term antivaxer as bad as those who use the term Vaxhole, to describe people who are always asking about the next booster and comparing what shots or combination people have. When in comes down to name calling we've struck bottom. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Covid is far more contagious, far more deadly, and as far as I'm aware, no one suffers from "long influenza". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are also many physicians with a totally different analysis of the situation. It is not selfish to do what one believes is in the best interest for one's health. I, for one, am of the opinion those shots will do me a lot of harm based on medical history, so according to you, I should it anyway ....for others. No. I will not ruin my health that way. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you were in need of critical surgery would you be satisfied with your hospital if you could not receive the surgery because the ICU was full of Covid patients? Surgeries stop when the ICU is full and guess who is filling up all of those ICU beds. It is not Goldilocks. That exact scenario happened to me last week. Best of luck to you. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I and everyone should get a shot that could do damage to prevent the hospitals from being full. Boy are you reaching there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johanson Posted January 28 Report Share Posted January 28 Who should you believe? Folks posting on Facebook and on forums like this or your family doctor, whom you and yours have been going to for years. Me? I checked with my doctor, lakeside and my family doctor up here in Seattle. They both tressed the same thing, get your vaccine shots. So I got my first Pfizer shot last March, my second in April and a Moderna booster shot in late December. I had only a very small negative reaction from each of the shots and I feal great today. So, folks, check with your trusted doctors, not Facebook. Please, if it is possible and safe for you, get your Vaccine shots ASAP See you all lakeside next week 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
