Is it a Wise idea to Stay with your Partner if He or She refuses to get vaccinated?


Just heard a stat today. 45% of people getting covid here have already had two vaccine shots. Dun dun duuuuuuun.
The whole thing is a mess.
I wouldn't leave a person just because they're not vaccinated.
Authorities/governments need to stop pretending that the vaccines are a magic elixir. They're not.
The question is, is there harm in taking them, just for some improvement in transmission?
How many people without the shots have actually gone in to get tested?
How many vaccinated people died because of COVID? How many showed severe symptoms? Required hospitalization?
Be smart. A person who refuses to vaccinate for non medical reasons is highly unlikely to seek medical attention.
@Grond21 Interesting.
Check out this hospitalization risk calculator. I'm at 2%.
And this chart showing hospitalizations by country is interesting. (Mouse over the individual countries on the right.)
@Hypnos0929 I don't really understand your line of reasoning. If people don't get tested, and they feel fine, they either don't have covid, or have/had it but are asymptomatic. Yes, people who are asymptomatic can transmit it (and that is an issue), but is contracting covid really the worst thing? Many people have had it and didn't feel sick at all. Others felt temporarily sick, sheltered at home, and have no longterm side-effects. Others unfortunately have severe Longterm Covid and it's extremely disruptive to their health and ability to work.
But those who have "severe symptoms" do go to the hospital. Yet, the hospitalization rate globally is like.3%.
Those who seek medication attention do it based on how sick they feel. It's not a politicized decision.
And by the way, more men avoid seeking health care. Yet they have a higher mortality rate due to covid.
I'm not ignorant. I do a lot of research and it's a complex, not-black-and-white issue.
What bothers me is when many people try to oversimplify and distill it down. "Everyone vaccinate and all will be fine" is simply untrue.
Wow did I forget to include the links or did gag remove them...
Try again...
Hospitalization Risk Calculator
https://riskcalc.org/COVID19Hospitalization/
Comparing hospitalization rate by country. Cool graph.
Canada is low/good.
ourworldindata.org/.../current-covid-hospitalizations-per-million
Your link gives me a 7.3% risk of being hospitalized with COVID-19. If you consider that, worst case, half of those hospitalized die from COVID, my risk of dying from COVID would be less than 3.5%. That's comparable to the risk of dying in an auto accident.
@AviatorTom Yes, everything is compared to auto accidents isn't it.
I think the distinction should be made between preventable and not. Of course, people fly in planes and it's safer than driving. (I just watched that Sully movie on the weekend. Was pretty good. A bit better than I thought it would be.)
@Friendlybro79 I have a screenshot of the foia release.
https://ibb.co/VTvJ5GY
@Nightroads Wow, 4 times!
I don't even know what to say to that. Want to provide any more info? I wonder how many others are similar.
@AmandaYVR I assume all four times were different strains. First time I felt like I was close to needing hospitalization. Other three times besides loss of taste and smell I had no symptoms to noticeable.
@AmandaYVR If you'd like take a look at this article if you're interested.
www.reuters.com/.../factcheck-massachusetts-deaths-idUSL1N2RF259
@Friendlybro79 Wow!
I saw this spoken by a governmental journalist in my province. It wasn't the main thrust of the announcements he was making, so he said it very quickly, but what I heard was "45% of people getting covid here have already had two vaccine shots", and I thought he was referring specifically to local numbers.
But that 45 number would be a huuuge coincidence then. So now I question if he got it wrong, or I misheard.
What's telling is this, in the article you linked. "“The proportion of fully vaccinated people who have died from COVID is 0.007%.”
I tried to find the video news clip. I know the name of the reporter here, but couldn't find the mention of this stat. I'll certainly keep an eye out and post a follow-up here, if I do happen to hear it again.
I'm certainly questioning the info now.
Thanks for posting. And being polite about it. 👍
@AmandaYVR My pleasure.
@Grond21 not sure what website you're sourcing but directly off the cdc site. First paragraph they state reinfections happen and have been recorded. Article dated 8/2021
www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/70/wr/mm7032e1.htm
Paragraph from above cdc article
"Summary
What is already known about this topic?
Reinfection with human coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, has been documented. Currently, limited evidence concerning the protection afforded by vaccination against reinfection with SARS-CoV-2 is available."
Again that was August. Here's an article from Oct stating: " For unvaccinated, reinfection by COVID-19 is likely, study finds
Strong protection following natural SARS-CoV-2 infection is short-lived"
www.nsf.gov/.../disc_summ.jsp
@Friendlybro79 Good finds! My question would be, is the reinfection named and documented in reference to those who have already gotten one or more vaccine shots? Or is it in reference to those who haven't? If it's the former, then we are still in agreement. If it's the latter, the the CDC has contradicted themselves and I'm not sure what to make of that
This is a really good thread. Thanks to y'all for contributing and keeping the flow of information going.
But I hate all this so much.
I hate that I'm being forced into something medically where there are too many unknowns and the solutions are being sold to us as absolutes. It infuriates me.
Anyway, at the bottom of Grond's article link, is a comment by Stephanie Brail, and a link to an article she wrote detailing many of her thoughts. I think she did a great job summarizing the 1-13.
wholistic.substack.com/.../if-theres-one-thing-you-need-to-read
And this is the very lengthy article she referenced and pulled data from:
www.juliusruechel.com/.../...n-and-covid-zero.html
@Friendlybro79 that website did a Freedom of Information Act request and got the CDC to release that information. As far as I'm aware they haven't published anything false or misleading, although they are inclined against the big Pharma narrative. So while it could be faked, I think that is very unlikely.
@AmandaYVR Yes. Thank you for expressing this. I feel the exact same way. The tactics being used to push these vaccines and lockdowns are coercive. Manipulative. They're the kind of tactics that, if seen in a relationship, would be called emotionally abusive. And when the medical companies make billions of dollars without any liability or restraint, when governments amass power to themselves without any oversight and directly against their constitutions, when you have the largest transfer of wealth from the poor and middle class to the billionaires in human history, you have to think that there is something else going on.
Pfizer even asked Argentina and Brazil to put up their military bases as collateral in order to pay for the vaccines. They bribed the leader of an Australian province over 60 million dollars in order to push the vaccine and lockdowns. And now Australia is rounding people up who don't follow the governmental decree.
I hate this, I hate how people are being forced to follow what the government says despite their consciences and rational judgment. Its become Machiavellian, and a little voice inside me is afraid it's about to get far worse
@Grond21 the government isn't forcing anyone and vaccination status for schools and certain jobs have always been a thing here. I understand some are forced to make a decision more than others but you can say no. This particular vaccine has become so political and rooted in way too many conspiracies in my humble opinion. My close friend who's a scientist (works in this field) is baffled but also gets the confusion. From her colleagues perspective they all are say things like it's just... a vaccine... It's not a mystery as to where it came from or came to. Where they do understand is that politics and media are poisoning people with unnecessary amounts of doubt which is causing more deaths worldwide.
There's several different things going on simultaneously. One is the fact that the way this vaccine is being pushed on people is becoming effectively mandatory. If you are ostracized from your job and from all or most public spaces unless you get it, it's mandatory in practice. Another factor is the way this vaccine has been implemented. It's been extraordinary shady, and the ability for us to get the full picture has been obfuscated from day one. Third, there's the vaccine itself. Each company has a different vaccine and they need to be looked at individually. But when they lie about the methods of creation, the effects, and tamper with the studies being done to verify their efficacy then it creates a sincere and significant amount of skepticism.
And then when the people who are wanting to be healthy and want everyone else to be healthy see all this, of course they're going to start asking questions. But instead of being helpful the powers-that-be are demonizing them and silencing them. It doesn't paint a very good picture
@Grond21 I hear what you're saying and most of this is allegations and your opinion or the repeated narrative that antivaxxers or vaccine hesitant concerned say without real proof to discredit the efficacy and safety of the vaccine.
Also being ostracized is not force. You're not forced. If you believe in your cause strong enough then don't get it and find a new job. I've left companies for way less. Nothing in life can escape cause and effect. It might be difficult and it might be frustrating but i truly believe in tje majority of scientists and doctors that agree that the vaccines are again... Safe and effective
I'd appreciate it if you changed your approach. You say you're a friendly guy, and so I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt that you don't mean those accusations. Because this is what I was talking about. Rather than starting a discussion or agreeing to disagree on my points, you said that it's only allegations, it's only my opinion, it's only from a narrative, anti-vaxxers have given me that narrative, I don't have real proof, and the whole point of it is just to discredit the true efficacy and safety of the vaccine. So I'm going to look past all of those unhelpful accusations.
You're right that being ostracized is not forced. However ostracization can indeed lead to force. That's one of the ways that Hitler was able to isolate and his population to turn against the Jews. So if enough ostracization happens it becomes force. But I do think that people should leave their jobs if they feel like they're being put in a moral quandary by their company.
As for your last sentence, I would qualify it if I may. Some vaccines are safe and effective.
@Grond21 ok I see what you mean after I reread my reply. It doesn't read well, y apologies. It's not easy to express tone via text at times. If this sounds rude I apologize. I should have said your opinion, which all are entitled, say things like this has been shady, and that is again, your opinion. I just don't agree it's shady. I think people are working around the clock to save lives. I know my personal family members which include doctors, PAs, and a direct friend that is a scientist that works in this field. I'm lucky to have direct access like this.
Your Hitler reference is something I've seen thrown around but the difference is no one is trying to commit mass genocide. It's a bad analogy in my opinion. Nothing here is a halocaust. The difference here is the unvaccinated are the ones mainly dying. Mandates can totally be disagreed with but unless you can say with real proof, which there isn't, that the vaccine is killing millions like a lethal injection, then it is nothing to compare to what Hitler did.
Apology accepted, and thank you! I could tell you were being cordial and didn't mean it.
I'm not trying to prove this to you. I haven't we haven't presented evidence in order to convince, I'm just trying to lay out my position. We can get to the evidence later, if we like.
But here's what I see. I see companies foregoing many of the usual standards for developing these vaccines. I see them partnering with governments so that if any damage is done by them they cannot be held legally liable. I see those government mandating the vaccines and the companies getting money for them without having to incur any risk. I see the regulatory bodies of government, particularly in the USA, abandoning all standards of testing, reporting, and monitoring. I see big media companies silencing and misrepresenting the concerns of those who see these problems. And then I see those who try to dig deeper getting demonized.
So, assuming that what I am seeing is reasonable to me, does it make sense why I might be hesitant?
As for the Hitler analogy, it's important to remember that we shouldn't make the mistake of only seeing the same patterns Hitler engaged in once genocide has already happened. We said "Never Again" for a reason, and we need to make sure that we call out those patterns when they begin, not only once millions are dead.
@AmandaYVR Thank you!! And I encountered someone who had parosmia from Covid. I will message you about it
@Grond21 I appreciate the conversation, and I am thankful for your thoughts because they're actually thoughtful and thought out. I can definitely see why you or anyone is hesitant. It's scary times for sure. That said, i'm still not sure I understand your Hitler reference. The government has allowed companies/universities to require vaccinations for a long time. Is it possible they're listening to the science and not up to nefarious reasons. If that's what you were implying earlier. I'm not sure based on how you worded it. I understand people might feel it's too soon for this vaccine but what if all the scientists are actually good? What if people actually can and are doing good, it's actually safe, effective and we ignore it?
My concern in what you said (paraphrasing) the fear that we can't wait for millions to die... Well we have over 5 million dead worldwide from covid already. Experts believe it could be close to 10 million because other countries might not be reporting accurately do to their lack of means to report it correctly. If you can't believe in the experts, and have to assume the worst, like history of Hitler repeating itself, we might miss the solution sitting right in front of us.
Thank you! It can be stressful talking about this topic, especially because, as you pointed out, so much is on the line.
In terms of all the scientists being good? I don't accept that because that's never been true. You have never had a situation the world where everyone involved was good and selfless. That's viewing humans in an Angelic sort of way, and we have never reached those heights. So there's going to be bad actors and to assume everyone is somehow acting with pure intentions isn't helpful. That's not to say most are acting nefariously, but we need to keep a watchful eye out.
As to the Hitler reference, my point was it his social imaginations resulted in somewhere between 25 to 45 million dead. And if we could have stopped those manipulations before they had gotten too much power, we would have. But since we can't change the past the best we can do is identify those same patterns when they come up again and try to stop them in the future. And I see the same patterns happening now.
Does that make sense?
@Grond21 Your Hitler reference makes sense yes. Thanks for the clarification. We definitely need to pay attention to those signs, but I do not believe this vaccine is going to be the next premeditated mass genocide.
These next several statements aren't sarcastic although it will sound it.
If this is a plan to kill off millions or even billions of people, what do you think happens afterwards? Will a Lex Luthor like character emerge? I believe evil exists, but I do believe that if this was evil, that the majority of scientists putting this out here for us are good. I do not believe everyone could be so easily hushed. A friend of mine who's a scientist working closely with vaccines would have to be a fantastic liar and one of the smartest dumbasses ever to be duped into thinking it's safe and effective and it's all just a diabolical plan. What if 25-50 million unvaccinated people die because we have little faith in fellow man? Who's fault will that be if a solution was here all along but no one believes it? I'm not sure if that last question is entirely fair but it's starting to get alarming when you look at deaths of vaccinated vs unvaccinated. We're showing proof and no one believes the data? If you're right and I'm wrong then who is the bad actor (s)? By my calculations it would be every major health organization, every first world country, 99.9% of doctors and scientists? Yeah that's not a bet I'd make. If I'm wrong I'm not sure if I'd even want to live in the world that is willing to kill billions.
Good! I am glad it does. And let me clarify a little bit more. Hitler was evil not just because he was a murderer. He was evil because he convinced normal people to become murderers themselves. He promulgated an ideology that was destructive and evil, while simultaneously establishing totalitarian control so that he could achieve his version of utopia. Mass genocide was the inevitable result. But like you pointed out, we need to stop it before it gets to that point. And that means stopping the totalitarianism and the ideological possession. And it's those two things that I see rapidly on the rise.
Thank you for the clarification, and I don't take these as being sarcastic.
You actually don't need the majority of scientists to be evil. You don't need the majority of those in government to be evil. You just need enough to be willing to look the other way, and you need a very convincing narrative that encourages or pressures people to not dig deep into the science. Plus, because scientists are so highly specialized these days, most are taking the majority of what they hear on faith that the media is reporting accurately, because they don't have time to investigate it themselves.
I am not maintaining the vaccine is inherently bad. In fact it has helped a lot of people. What I am maintaining is that the forced push to implement it, come hell or high water, all around the world is deeply disturbing. It gives governments the power that they should not have, all in the name of health and safety. It allows them to act in ways that are totalitarian and Evil. And as we have seen in every example of every government that went corrupt in human history, once they take the power they will never give it up until the people revolt. And I would prefer to not reach that stage. I would prefer the government stay in the power of the people, rather than the other way around
@Grond21 As I re-read what we've said so far, I think we're at that point where we understand each other's points but see two paths this could possibly go into the near future.
For ex all of your concerns with the past repeating itself are valid concerns because you're looking at real examples of when things went terribly wrong. I can't sit here and say it's impossible for some of the things are concerned with could happen again.
I agree 100% we need to pay attention to the signs you spoke to and make sure we don't repeat the history you have referred to.
Here's where I think we're split on which is the present. I believe as imperfect as our government is, they are currently trying to get vaccines in people because will save more lives than harms exponentially. I believe currently the good scientists are winning the battle over the few that might be up to no good. I believe people are so concerned about the past, which is understandable, is unfortunately clouding judgement of where we are actually today. Which is in a pandemic. The past doesn't definitely indicate future events because we can and in my opinion are better (not perfect). I think mandates are a the because fear is taking over in this current moment. Which is why 85-90% of unvaccinated people are dying of covid.
Here's the sad reality. I could be wrong. It would be ignorant if I said I knew this is a fact. Basically everything we both stated is opinion based on possible experiences we've had in our lives or from history before our time.
I've thought about what's the impact to mankind if I'm correct vs incorrect. Maybe we're both asking each other to think this. We've had moments in time thay were bad and good. I bet this current state is way more good than bad being put out there to save lives. Methods might not be favorable at times but intended for good.
If you think differently, I can't change your mind but I do think less vaccinated people equals more deaths long term.
Glad I got to see this one through.
It’s fine I understand other people’s point of views on this thing
Thank you for mho

The vaccine doesn't make you "safe" - it merely means you'll have less severe symptoms and for a shorter amount of time. And the effects of the vaccine only last 3-6 months. There's a lot of mis-understanding of what it does, and many people think the vaccine makes them immune forever. It doesn't.
Right. And what you just stated is part of why I’m questioning why they’re pushing it so hard. I can see it if it made one immune, like MMR or polio vaccine. But it doesn’t do that. Meanwhile people are all: “I need you to get a vaccine so my vaccine will work.” Too much odd stuff I’ve never seen in my 44 years on this earth surrounding the illness and vaccine that don’t add up.
@Paris13
That is misinformation about altering DNA. If you'd like to hear from experts this is shown false. Here's a few ex

My partner and I are both vaccinated and I have also had a booster. She hasn't had the booster yet because she is younger than me and it is not yet avilable for her age bracket. I don't need to ponder this possibility.
I was almost in this situation, myself. I've been with my fiancé for almost 5 years, now. When the vaccinations started coming out, she said she refused to get it, even if I did. Not only does she hate needles, she doesn't trust the government with anything. I was seriously wondering whether or not I could sustain the relationship with her, while the pandemic was going on. I see my parents every day, and they are getting up in age. Even after their shots, they could still become very ill from the virus. I was stuck between the love of my life and her paranoia or my loving parents that got the shot.
Thankfully, my parents were the ones that managed to convince her to get the shot. It was for their sake as well as her daughter's sake. Her daughter was the same way, for a while, but my parents can be very persuasive. ^_^
Thinking back on it, I don't think I would have left her. I would have warned my parents to stay away until the pandemic was over. We would have gone from in-person visits to online video chats. In the moment, though, I really didn't know. Could have gone either way. I'm glad she decided to get it, though. :)
I just got my first shot yesterday. I had Covid in March. I would not have gotten it if my employer did not mandate it. My wife got it a while ago as did my step son. Both seem to be fine with no ill effects.
I did not want to get it but I make good money and have a family to provide for. So the bottom line is I had no choice.
I did not want to get it because I see major inconsistencies in the Covid story and also the fact that they are pushing this vaccine is highly suspicious as is the vaccines development. I do not care to look at the science involving the vaccine. All I know is in my 44 years on this earth I have yet to see a vaccine pushed so hard for something that is not more dangerous for most people than the flu. So by virtue of how that and the lack of testing and many other factors the science is irrelevant and how it’s being pushed plus the inconsistencies with all concerning Covid are relevant. I don’t need to know the science to see the behavior of those in power and the stories in the media are not adding up.
Anyway, I can totally respect reservations to getting it and I hope you can too. Again I wouldn’t have got it if I had a realistic choice in the matter. I truly can’t see why anyone who doesn’t have serious health issues would want it at this stage in the game. I see this as no reason to end a relationship.
The vaccine is the cure it's made out to be earlier this year I lost my cusion from the vaccine. It caused him to have a massive blood clot and a bleed on the brain causing him to have a stroke and die at only 32 years old leaving behind a 3 year old and a soon to be wife. I also lost my 80 year old grandad last week after he caught covid in hospital for other illnesses, he was a young, healthy 80 year old before he got sick and he had only just had his booster jab a week before he went into hospital.
My sister and two of my friends also got covid whilst being vaccinated too
Isn't the cure*
@Paris13 The vast majority of people dying of covid are unvaccinated. What happens if you and other folks who believe in these mass conspiracies of genocide are wrong? Who are you putting your faith in to believe you can say the most probable reason for the creation of the vaccine is mass genocide?
@Friendlybro79 I don't think my cusions death was a conspiracy. Pretty sure it was caused by the vaccine. Not normal everyday thing for a 33 year old man to have a random blood clot and stroke not long after coincidentally being vaccined. He also went and got vaccinated with my cusion who's 36 (his stister) who also got a blood clot but luckily they caught on to her quick enough.
The saddest thing is the day before his vaccine he was saying how excited he was for it as he was due to be married and wanted to be with his family and friends again. The next time he was with his family and friends was at his funeral.
So tell his fiancé and little boy but it was a conspiracy. It's easy to call everyone who questions the vaccine a anti vac or a nut job until it's someone you know who dies from it
@puppystarfish23 I wasn't saying that towards your situation, and I'm sorry to hear about your family members. I've had death of friends, near death of friends and family members due to covid. I was replying to someone else and directed it at them and wasn't meant to be accusing you of anything.
To me it doesn’t matter, and I wouldn’t break up with someone just because they weren’t vaccinated and I am.
But…I will say this from my experience. My most recent ex was against the Covid vaccine. I respected his opinion and choice, and he respected mine to be vaccinated. I did find though that him and I had very different morals, values etc and that’s one thing that made us incompatible. Not the vaccine itself, but our views on the world were very different and long term that may not work for a relationship.
Yes because that is their choice. If that is the reason you break up with someone then you do not deserve a relationship period. If you are vaccinated and the vaccination works then you have nothing to worry about. If it does not work then it was not worth getting the vaccination in the first place. A relationship is all about respecting each other, including their individual decisions that have nothing to do with you. Anyone even considering the vax/not vax issue as a criteria for a relationship is not mature enough for a relationship.
It's more unwise to be with someone who HAS gotten jabbed. They transfer spike proteins (which ARE the disease) and other toxic shit that's in those concoctions. Among other risks, for those who want to have kids one day, the vax effects the reproductive organs and can cause sterility. That can even transfer to an unvaxed partner.
@okeydoke. You hear the unified narrative from every mainstream media source and assume that you know all there is to know? Ever heard of manufactured consensus? You have no idea that they are censoring all information that questions the official pharma narrative, even when it comes from hundreds of leading experts in the field and thousands of medical professionals around the globe? In other words, since you never heard it, it must be fake. LOL
The only way I'll stay with a partner who is unvaccinated is because of medical reasons. I'm vaccinated and I do not want to be with an anti-vaxxer or some type of conspiracy theorist. And I'm going to ignore the people on here who say I or other people are stupid or don't deserve a relationship because we care about vaccine status. If they're not concerned about their own health or safety, it's their problem, not mine. I'm not going to listen to ignorant people on g@g who aren't medical experts
Some people on here really frustrate me with their nonsense but I'm keeping my cool
Those who are Ignorant do their Research... xx
Half and half Paris. People have different reasons for not wanting to be vaccinated. If it was for medical reasons I would stay with him. But if he was a Covid denier I guess we would have to break up.
Besides you can be vaccinated and still get sick. So we will always be unsafe. 😔
I'm glad you do. :)
Look at china. There are rarely corona cases in china now since china "forced" everyone to get the vaccine. Due to non vaccinated people we get mutations of this virus that make the vaccine less effective. So in this case democracy sucks when majority of people are retarded. I am really done with this corona bs. Dont say your body and choice. Your body and choice kill important people like doctors, nurses etc. and we dont we live in an anarchy. If people back then in Europe act like the anti vaccine people we would still had diseases like polio (virus,) smallpox etc.
I am really sick of this corona pandemic and i really want the life to be normal again.
Ok i can understand why people dont want to be vaccinated since media is very aggressiv towards people who question this vaccine. So if state/media was very nice and explain the all the questions of people msybe there would not be many anti vaccine people
I am sorry for sounding so aggressive and offensive
But i would not break up with him for this reason.
Your already with them so why bother not being together now.
The ones who aren't vaccinated are the ones who should be worried.
Yes vaccinated people can get covid but it won't put us in the hospital ICU.
Also vaccinated people can give it to unvaccinated people.
I stayed with my partner while she was not vaccinated. She supported me when I was sick from covid over facetime and deliveries, which is how I wanted it. That's partners, stay together and support.
Other people in life did nothing for me when I was down, they were a waste. Pick a good partner, stick with them. You really want someone who runs when things get scary? thus widsom seems obvious.
if there is some underlying health issue that means a threat to them, I'd think about that. Like I would not want to hurt her or the kids with some illness, I'd remove myself/isolate to save them. She has to survive to support the kids, I'm extra. The male sacrifices for the female... that's nature.
@exitseven thank you. I think it did some damage, but I'm functioning.
I just met with a Pediatrist that doesn't trust the COVID vaccine, so I thought okay... you do not TRUST a rushed vaccine, I didn't care because I was not there to rely on her professional services...
but then she mentioned that she doesn't believe on any vaccines.. a Pediatrist? I was like what the hell? but I said nothing because well... we met for a different reason
so to me... it would be similar in relationships, more than having trouble with a partner as to whether they will do anything or won't do it... I like to know, and to hear and to understand about their reasons and their reasoning... that is way more important to me
The vaccine doesn't stop transmission of virus, so other people being vaccinated does not protect you, especially not if you spend a lot of time together. So health wise leaving someone for that is beyond dumb.
If you leave someone for temporary political disagreement about whether it is ok to press everyone into vaccination, even if they are the only ones to benefit from their own jab, that would be very shortsighted. If you already tolerate your partners views but freak out about this one, you would imho be extremely unreasonable.
I don't see why anyone has any excuse not to get vaccinated unless their doctor has specifically said they shouldn't. I don't think I could be with someone who refuses to even after being educated.
Read what? Scientific studies? Done ✅ stats for my own country? Done ✅
What more is there to read? Conspiracies? No thanks.
@Shamalien you don't need to dig deep to read medical information. The whole point of clinical study information being released to the public is so it's easily accessible for people to read. If you have to dig deep to find something wrong with a medicine/vaccine then you're just actively looking for issues. That's conformation bias.
@Shamalien mm no. You're just stupid 🤷🏻♀️ just say you don't want the vaccine I don't give a shit. You don't have to make up bullshit excuses.
How about this?
In the 2019-20 flu season (preCOVID), 40 thousand Americans died from the flu. In that 5 month (Nov-Mar) flu season, that equates to 2000 flu deaths per week. As of Nov 2021, the US is averaging about 1000 COVID deaths per week, about half that of a typical flu season. Considering these stats, one can reasonably ask, "What's the big deal?"
@AviatorTom there was about 20 thousand flu related deaths in 2019-2020. There's been over 700 thousand covid deaths... You're averaging 1000 a week because of vaccines. If you look at January the average week was 3 thousand. April last year it was 2 thousand. 700k deaths over 3 ish years is about 250k deaths a year. 12x more than the flu.
My math is bad sorry it's not even been 2 years so 350k deaths a year.
That's almost 20x more just so you know 🙂
Vaccines don't do anything to others, only to those that are vaccinated.
A vaccinated person can carry and infect others just like an unvaccinated. And there are reasons to not vaccinate which include pre-existing medical conditions.
If you vaccinate it is for your own protection, but you must be able to get it in the first place. Someone that breaks off a relationship because of vaccination status, in my opinion, are either ignorant or are looking for a reasons to justify the break up.
I wish i could give a straight forward yes or no answer to this question Paris but when it comes to this bloody virus, NOTHING is black and white.
Let me explain:-
Some people think that because they have had the jab they are immune and cannot pass on the virus, this causes them to behave as if it never existed. Other people won't take it (for whatever reason) and treat everyone they meet as lepers.
So you see I cannot recognise that question, but what I will say is, I wear a proper mask when I go anywhere there are lots of people in an enclosed area. One of these:-

Assuming you mean for Covid, and that you have? I'd say probably not. Not for direct reasons; the shots don't keep you from catching or spreading it, so it doesn't directly affect you at all, but because it indicates a fundamental difference, not merely of opinion, but of philosophy. If your views on risk-taking and assessments are THAT different, you're in for a rough ride. Not every tempestuous relationship ends badly, and there IS something to be said for always having something to fight about, though.
If people on death's door aren't afraid why should I be?
https://www.youtube.com/embed/5jldJnR740s@menina I thought I was going to die about 4 days ago. but my point being that their immune systems honestly cannot get ANY weaker than they are now and they aren't afraid. Should tell you something about how serious they really are about the whole thing. I think it's more motivated by economic reform then real concern ngl.
Really? May I ask what happened? I thought I was going to die 3 times. When I was 12, then when I was 16 and the last time was when I was 22.
I totally understand you. They shouldn't be playing with their health like that.
You're absolutely right, it's all about economy recovery. That's how I feel about the politicians of the country where I live.
@menina so 4 days ago i ate some pecans and well... I'm allergic to pecans. I swelled up really bad, eyes and throat closing, eardrums felt like they were going to explode along with my brains, terrible rashes and hives, they took a long time getting to me. By the time they did I was so swollen up they had to spend 30 mins trying to get an IV into me.
Leaving a person just because the person rejects an experimental vaccine is surely not a smart choice
@FreyaRed correct.
Work made it mandatory for me to be vaccinated or I lose my job. My job is trying to convince people to get vaccinated for insurance reasons. I prefer my partner to be, but I would not force them, even a vaccinated person can still be a carrier
great question... i could see how it might cause problems thats for sure and im sure some couples will split over this issue... are you in this position paris
Hi, Pussycat. My Alistair (UK) Is Vaccinated and Doing a Booster soon. I have not YET got Mine but I Know I will Need to Do something if I wish to Go see Him next year. Boris is Quarantining those Unvaccinated. It is Expensive and a Pain in the Drain. I may Wait and Even see if There is a Pill for this. xx
you have to pay for the jab? wow thats ridiculous and yeah its unlikely you will be able to fly here if you aren't double vaccinated or pay even more for pcr testing and quarantine. the pill by the way is for the treatment of covid and not a way to stop you getting it. interestingly meryk took millions in tax dollars to develop it and now are selling it back to americans at 40 times the cost of production. i feel for you guys getting ripped off at every turn
Vax vs unvaxxed cases
Vax vs unvaxxed deaths

So when it says "In sickness and in health and until death do us part" people don't honor that?
🤣😂🤣🤣
Where are you from? I wanna move there.
That's up to the person. That'd like asking fi she refuses to get an abortion/not get an abortion, is it wise to stay with her?
Me, personally? I'm not putting that poisonous sh*t in my body. I just found out yesterday that all the gyms and entertainment bars in Korea are requiring vaccinations to go into them. Essentially, they're doing passport ID's now. If I won't stick poison in my body just to go to the gym, what makes a chick think I'd do it just for her?
Are you saying you won't for a chick that will like you, even if you are short, in your opinion? You can't live forever so take whatever happiness you can.
Is it better to have love for a short time or never at all? What price do you put on love?
Depends on their reasoning, and how much you like them..
To be honest, I think I would leave someone if they got vaccinated.
No telling what it is doing to their body, and whether it is endangering people who they are intimate with's health.
We would be on quite different pages philosophically.
Good luck
You should leave them for their own sake... you'll likely die in a couple of years but they still have a chance so being with a vaccinated person is just a waste of their time.
It doesn't bother me. In fact, I'd totally date an antivaxxer.
I would not be with a woman who had been vaccinated.
Weak minded sheep, ignorant of the science (which contradicts government lies) and, based on the information that I have seen, those who have been vaccinated have a life expectancy of about two years.
Depends on their reasons. If they are following medical advice, such as if they were immuno-compromised, that's one thing. If on the other hand it has more to do with group-think and tribal signalling, then maybe it's an indication of who they really are and you should re-evaluate.
I'm not dating any woman who has been vaccinated for covid. They are infected.
And high probability they have these personality traits.
Liberal
Cowards
I can't deal with either
We are each able to make up our own minds. Also, our medical profiles are different, so one may be in more need of immunization (supposed).
Which vaccine you referring to, there is lots of them.
If you mean covid, are you saying you would get divorced if your spouse wouldn't take it?
Ironically though if your partner works from home, is not vaccinated and you are and you don't work from home... then your likely the one that would infect THEM with covid... assuming they rarely go out.
You get vaccinated to PROTECT yourself. The secondary benefit is are at lower risks at infecting others.
Now if I had a girlfriend decided to not get vaccinated because she already had COVID, will have an averse reaction to the vaccine, etc. I do not really care. But if she is crazy anti vaxxer in general that’s a different story.
Yes. My girlfriend and I are still together even though I’m not going to get vaccinated.
We’re both crazy for each other.
I couldn't make that decision until I'm in that situation.
If you're vaxed why do you care? I thought the vax protected you?
Do you understand that vaxed or unvaxed can equally carry and spread the virus.
Why are you making an issue out of this? Are you making it political? Or do you really think it puts you at some added risk?
Not a big deal to me. Some people I know have had COVID and showed little to no symptoms. Others have gotten vaccinated and showed worse symptoms. One got vaccinated after having Covid and was sicker after the shot than during his bought of the virus.
Too many “Experts “ are singing different tunes.
I have been been vaccinated by the way!
The people who refuse to get vaccinated have been brainwashed by conservative media and you shouldn't hang around with them. The majority of us have been vaccinated against polio and the measles and other infectious diseases.
https://www.youtube.com/embed/yWO-PrC8bJIIf my partner got the shot I’d break up. I wanna have human children some day, healthy human children. People who take this vaccine will have difficulty.
and if you’re gunna question this just fuckoff and do whatever you want I don’t give a damn, take your fucking shot, enjoy what you get, done arguing with brainwashed propaganda sucklers
If that's what breaks up a couple, they had no foundation to begin with. It's so petty. Especially, if your vaccinated then what does it matter if the other isn't. Vaccinated people can get it and spread it too. I know someone close to me who is 100% vaccinated and contracted covid and is currently going through it.
If she has a great job that can support us both why can't I quit and lay around the house all day?
@Hypnos0929 I reckon you can as long as she's willing to put up with your lazy ass...
the thing is i was vaccinated at birth and now i got asperger's syndrome as a result somethin to think about
Unfortunately the reality is going to kick in soon and all the vaccinated people are going to be 6 feet on the ground!
I’ve been saying that since 2020 but what the fuck do I know some people are so blind they have to witness it themselves before they understand of course when you take your last breath it’ll be too late.
When are the vaccinated going to ALL die from the vaccine? A year? Two? 45? When?
The most ignorant person in the room is the one who opens his mouth and has already made his mind.
@mjthecoach you're a lazy moron. I think you're confusing Thanos' evil plan with real life and confidence isn't ignorance. Who can believe a named @mjthecoach over an entire planet of scientists? You got inside info huh? I'm not even convinced you believe your own nonsense
Go watch your CNN! I bet you., 98% you’re a fat a22!! If you knew about health? You’d look healthy. A strong mind can’t live in a fat a22!
@mjthecoach Your 98% chance of me being fat is based in what? I'm 42 years old, 6ft tall 185 pounds and I'm active. Lol. You're a lazy moron like I said. And thanks for misguiding your response and steering away from having proof to your claim the vaccinated are going to all start dropping. Listen to yourself it's ridiculous. Be embarrassed of yourself.
Judge a man based on how much truth you can handle the fact that you’re so quick to anger tells me that’s why I thought you were fat most likely means you have a small dick! Or else you wouldn’t be so frustrated yeah you saw Healthy right you only eat fruits and vegetables are you exercise and you don’t eat any dead flesh. Do you know so much about health right did you eat yet carcasses. That’s why the Bible says my people perish for lack of knowledge how do you know worth saving you your best off doing what everybody else does like a good sheep. Those who learn nothing from history are doomed to repeat it.
@mjthecoach oh my you're insane. Get help sir. Goodbye
It's 50/50.
If they aren't vaccinated for health reasons that's fine.
If they refuse to vaccinate because they think COVID is a huge conspiracy and believe they should be able to do whatever they want no consequences then no. They're basically admitting they don't care enough about you or themselves.
In a relationship marked by real love, vaccine status is not an issue. In my country the 'vaccines' are nothing like as great as advertised since already at least 56 fully vaccinated persons have died from COVID 19. So, any relationship that ends because of differing views on the 'vaccine' was never healthy in the first place and HAD to end.
Yes. This madness will eventually end.
I'd hate to be someone who tells the tale that they broke up with someone because they didn't get a vaccine.
"Did they get the chicken pox vaccine?"
"No"
"Hmmm, might want to rethink your options there, girl"
I think anyone who would leave a relationship over a vaccine is short sighted.
Of course I'd stay. She is entitled to her own opinion, and I might agree with it.
Even if I don't agree with her opinion, so long as we both take precautions (masks, social distancing when we're with others), there's no issue.
My wife chose not to get vaccinated, no fucking way am I leaving her. Anyone that would leave a spouse over that is just plain stupid.
Nobody should be basing their relationship on Corona. Base it on how you two feel about each other.
Your Update should actually read, "Where the Wife has a well, HE has a way!" Lol!
This would be an absolutely moronic reason to split up.
The fact that you're even asking is a red flag for them.
Maybe shows you're trying to find an excuse to leave?
If she got a vaccination. I will start planning her building her casket.
Because she will be shunned from the Church if she did
Being vaccinated or not should have nothing to do with your relationship. If by chance both of you come into contact with the virus. Both of you will now be carriers. The only difference is that you shouldn’t get sick and your partner probably will.
I cannot be with someone unvaccinated. It's not a personal choice, it's fact. I will die if I get COVID-19, the likelihood of a vaccinated person getting it is less than an unvaccinated person which means I am a lot safer with a vaccinated person.
Very wise decision, the vaccine isn't safe and its not well known what it does to things like fertility but the first signs ain't good.
If you would really allow a relationship to end because having control over someone is that important to you then it's probably worth it to him for you to leave.
The risk of disease is a problem but it's nothing next to the risk that they are a republican.
Don't worry, if they were they wouldn't have agreed to marry a self-righteous intolerant piece of shit in the first place.
It must suck to be on the far left and only be able to associate with elitist asshole everywhere you go for your whole life.
But shit, for that we thank you.
What, brushing off your predjuice and hate to support interidelogical-relationships?
Not everything is about you Wallace. 😂
I'm sorry I hurt your feelings snowflake. I hope you can make it back to fairy land, heal up, and come back with some better lines. 😉
I'll miss you pumpkin. 😘
Oh, did I give you the impression that I was offended? That wasn't my intention. I was only pointing out that you were trying to be offensive, uninvited, for something that doesn't concern you. That you failed is beside the point. You still demonstrated intolerance in your plea for tolerance. And that hypocrisy is pretty much specifically why I couldn't ever date a republican 🤷♂️
"How dare you call me out for being intolerant, that's why I can't stand you people"
"Hating someone for their personal medical choices and political views is the right thing to do, but calling me intolerant and unattractive for that is just downright bigoted"
Bro, no wonder you look like you don't own a mirror. 😂🤣😂🤣😂
It's okay. You can be who you are. This is a safe place and you don't have to hide anymore.
😁😉😁
I literally started with pity and gratitude, moved on to love and kisses, and ended up with it's okay to be yourself.
You resort to the lefts only play which is essentially, call the other guy whatever you did wrong are and stick to it like your life depends on it regardless of the facts.
I honestly love talking to you. It's funnier than watching Colbert dance with giant hypodermic needless, and twice as honest.
I didn't think you read what you type. No wonder these people vote for, you... You know, the thing!
You lose with Grace like Joe Biden falling down the stairs three times in a row. 👌
It's comedy gold.
Do you just have far right internet memes randomly swimming around in your brain and try to express the way they make you feel regardless of the conversation you are having? Reminds me of a guy in Texas I met at a bus stop 21 years ago who told me we'll never run out of oil because we can just drill the moon. I called it a case of "wild brain" when someone could have been smart if they had been exposed to information instead of infotainment. I'm genuinely sorry that happened to you..
I was tested. They said my IQ was above the 99.9th percentile.
You're the only one talking about memes, some guy you met at a bus stop 20 years ago and oil on the moon.
A y, you, You got the vaccination?
A Are you, Are you okay?
Maybe the dementia is a side effect or something. 🤣😂🤣

Kindness is telling a dumb kid he has a nice personally.
I wish I could do the for you but I have this terrible character flaw where I feel obligated to tell the truth.
You're honestly so bad at this. It's getting pretty depressing so I'm gonna go pick on someone my own size. 😘
You're right. I'm sorry I hurt your feelings.
Life must be rough enough on you as it is.
Oh, no hard or hurt feelings. But it is still rude and it is yourself you should apologize to. Or perhaps your parents should apologize to you for failing to teach you manners. Manners used to be important before the internet came and wicked away the threat of embarrassment that made people try to sound intelligent around each other. I suspect they will become a big deal again as people get bored with the ambience of misinformation that is the internet..
Dude, you're pitiful.
Please get a life.
Like, seriously, it's like watches a slug writhe around with salt on it.
I regret it. I really do.
I feel bad for you.
But please grow up and stop crying in my face because it really gets old fast.
It must be hard to see people outside the bubble who aren't trapped like you are.
But seriously, it's not my problem dude. Your over 40. You still have the emo haircut I grew out of when I was 17. If you haven't figure it out by now, you probably never will.
You are projecting your own issues, and frankly I really find it sad and uncomfortable.
*you're. God forbid I get caught making a typo, we'll see his final form.
Have you seen the ratings lately? Most people have figured out which reality is real and CNN is going bankrupt.
3/4 of their viewers have turned the shit off and started watching Fox or alternative news.
The Washington Post is running headlines like "pedofilia is not a crime"
And you still think anything outside the bubble is dangerous evil lies like you live in North Korea and worship the kims.
3/4 people who agreed with you a year ago have figured it out. You are obviously too far gone. And that's fine.
Read my first comment. I said I feel sorry for you because you are stuck with people who believe that crap and no one else.
You're absolutely full of deranged diarrhea.
I'm not your guidance counselor. I'm just a lot smarter than you.
You do know CNN is basically a whole media empire made out of the role Colmes had on Hannity and Colmes, right? They are owned by the far right to be a straw man/punching bag for the far right. When you right wing trolls try to get liberals to defend CNN it always makes me wonder if you're aware of who owns it or not, as your troll behavior will be the same either way.
But whatever. I should really start charging you for the level of therapy I'm providing for you. But, it's not like I'm too interested in doing the job right - and it's not like I actually expect you can be salvaged.
So, you think CNN is a right wing conspiracy to spread lies and make the left look bad.
Yet, you agree with their stance on pretty much everything?
🤔🤔🤔
Doesn't that make you a deluded far right conspiracy theorist? 🤯
And no, it was funny at first but nobody would pay to watch a snake slowly eat it's self no matter how much better it might make them feel about themselves. 🤦🏼♂️
It's sad. It's honestly painful to watch.
I dint know how CNN started. I'm only pointing out they are indistinguishable from fox news 90% of the time as of late.
And I get why you have to believe i said I agree with CNN, but this is yet another one of those cases where you need to reconcile what you imagine to be true with what is actually true.
Doesn't matter as they won't be around for long. Paris.
Better just take life insurance out in their name, and profit off stupid.
