Are you taking, or have taken, the COVID-19 vaccine? Why or why not?

Question

I’ve been officially offered the vaccine in the current USA phase of vaccination due to being an education worker,

& so many thoughts are swirling in my head about whether to get it or not.
——————
After hearing about my student teaching district will be returning to in-person teaching in a hybrid model,

I literally had an anxiety attack in the middle of the night, agonizing over the pros and cons of this.😞

There was no risk whatsoever doing my student teaching distanced learning, allowing me to simultaneously finish my schooling and bide time for the pandemic to pass.

Now there’s health risk on both sides no matter what I do!

————-
On one hand, being around unvacccinated kids 4 days a week for several hours a day, when my state (California) and region (Sa Bernardino county) will be barely out of maximum risk rating for COVID cases for the first time in a year, without being vaccinated... sounds like a bad idea, especially living with someone that is high-risk.

On the other hand, this vaccine was rolled out EXTREMELY quickly, and there has been literally no time to test for long term side effects. Recalls and class action suits for bodily damages happen all the time years down the road in the medical field with medical products, and a situation like this rushed vaccine can easily be one of those cases.

OMG what to do? 😱

Are you vaccinated? Do you plan to be vaccinated? Why or why not?

With my school district in the United States going hybrid with the schooling (I’m a student teacher), and juveniles not being yet vaccinated,

I did decide to get the vaccine (Phizer vaccine, had the 2nd and final shot a week ago).

I'll never take it. I don't even want to eat GMOs. I certainly don't want to become one.

Out of those who actually contract the virus and receive zero treatment, the chance of dying is 0.002% for age 0-19 (5x less than the chance of dying in a car), 0.03% for age 20-49, 0.5% for age 50-69, and 5.4% for over 70. But those raw numbers don't take into account co-moridities or people who are already on death's door. Over 70 includes people over 90 and 100. And everybody who dies and tests positive for covid on a useless PCR test, is listed as dying "from" covid, not simple "with" covid.

And there are effective treatments such as HCQ and zinc, Ivermectin, vitamins D & C, and other things that have an 80-90+% success rate.
So how scary is this virus in actually?

On the other hand, people who take the shot are volunteering for a test trial for what, I think it was Merk, called it an "operating system", not a vaccine. It in no way fits the legal or medical definition of a vaccine. It changes a person's actual DNA. And what about it would be an "operating system" (like a computer program)? Programmable nano particles that can send and receive information? We don't know. And that's a problem.

It hasn't been approved by the FDA. Hundreds of people have already died from it even though the deaths are being covered up with excuses. There have been miscarriages and serious side effects like Bell's Palsy. The vaccines are suspected to cause infertility. Even the manufacturers admit to that. And there is a risk of developing a deadly cytokine storm reaction if a vaccinated person contracts a wild virus.

In addition, getting the jab won't prevent a person from contracting or spreading the virus. I will only supposedly reduce the symptoms. They say people will still have to wear masks and social distance. So what is the point in taking the jab?

So I'll live on the edge and take my chances catching the flu rather than subjecting myself to a dangerous mad science experiment that just coincidentally, is very, very profitable for the manufacturers and investors.

You should watch the public speech there president of Ghana gave to his people. This whole thing was planned to vaccinate us and depopulate. What they are doing by sticking that swab so far up your nose is breaking your brain barrier. They used to do that to slaves in Egypt as a form of punishment because it allows viruses, germs, & bacteria to easier access your brain. They are using smart dust as the swab with nano technology that they are rubbing against your brain barrier to connect people to the web of things. The vaccine is dangerous because some of those poisons like the ones in flu shots are only safe you take once. After 3wks and then for the rest of your life if they are injected again the hyper activate and cause anaphylaxis shock (excuse my spelling if that's not right) that can cause death in minutes, paralysis, heart attacks, rashes, uncontrollable twitching and spasms that persist 24 hrs a day, and in some it has even causes Johnson's syndrome where your skin peels off like a burn victim and can even cause blindness. It changes you DNA just like GMOs and guess what, they own the patent on your new DNA makeup. There is a patent on intra-nasal vaccines as well which it has been said, the swab test is the vaccine. Nobody knows the long term result on changing someone's rna and DNA. The Russians came up with the Sputnik IV which is only a flu shot to keep people safe who feel that a vaccine is the only way of life for them and to alleviate their fears. If you want need to direct you to some of this info just message me. I wouldn't let my enemy take it after seeing some of the stuff I have.

I had my first jab last month.

With any jab you are going to have people who hold back, people who rush forward, non believers etc.

For myself, I have 3 auto immune conditions. I am on immune suppressants so without the vaccine I’m confined to my house and my garden (unless the infection rate is high in my area in which case I’m not allowed outside. If a household member gets it I have to confine myself to a room and ideally a bathroom, I have to prepare food separately, eat separately, live separately for 2 weeks). I took the vaccine because a. I need all the help I can get and b. I cannot reasonably live like that without extensive building work in my house!

Everyone has to weight it up but for me it’s worth it. It will be interesting to see in a few months time who is struggling with the virus and who isn’t.

I got one of two doses. Waiting on Boris Johnson to hurry it up.

razelove · Answer

I'll take it when it's more a general public thing. Me and my whole family already caught COVID, so it isn't like it's a worry for us anymore... Hell, I'm hard pressed to think of many people I'm close to at all who haven't caught it already.

Either way, I'll take the vaccine when it comes out so there are no more excuses to continue along with the lockdowns, and in the meantime be happy that we aren't as bad as the EU right now.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I have had my first dose and will get my second dose this Friday.

kmg9150 · Answer

Hell no. I have not had vaccine since HS and have not once caught the flu since either. Too many inconsistencies surrounding covid. I mean for real, they tried saying that wearing a mask protects others from you spreading it and not you from contracting it from others... Really how stupid does that sound.. Yet people believed that shit. Masks have always been implemented to protect the wearer... Oh and then a year later and they still couldn't have done a study on what material was best suited for homeade masks... WTF, that should have been one of the very first things that should have been done... Even so, nobody handles them properly, so how effective are they really...

Dr. Focksee tells people to elbow bump (and the CDC) as a greeting because Mr germaphobe (who could be caught not wearing a mask on multiple occasions) had been trying to get rid of the hand shake for years... But then the CDC says to sneeze into your elbow if you haven't a tissue...(I've always sneezed into my elbow or open air if no one was around). So you want me to elbow bump the virus to someone else... When has anyone had someone sneeze right on them anyway (besides their child). Washing your hands is the best way to protect yourself... But wait didn't you say that its respiratory... That its not necessary to disinfect groceries, that food delivery is safe... But I must wash my hands after touching everything... Good to know where they believe intelligence level is at...

This was about politics and citizen control through propaganda and fear. These vaccines were rolled in less than a year, and they claim 90% efficiency... Yet the flu has been around for how long, and its vaccine gets prepared years prior and its about 40% to 60% effective... Not buying it... Its was used to curtail the election and gain massive public control. Funny how cases of kids only started to rise when it came time to keeping the kids home for school. Funny how trump was saying the vaccines would be ready prior yo election (which they were) because thats what they told him to make him look bad, only to hold out. Then bam right after the elections they were ready to roll... Blame all these deaths on Trump (like he wasn't getting his information from "experts" like Sleepy Joe) and Biden say follow the science... Science is the study of anything. Science tells me that this shits full of inconsistency and contradictions.

People are so quick to trust anything that says scientific study or that which comes out of a politicisn or media puppets mouth its insane... Company's like Google can literally control what they allow you to see and manipulate truths and falsehoods... The "science" they want you to believe can easily be made up of thin air with no effort at all.. put some numbers and a graph and paragraph or two and shove it off as true, ostracizing anyone who questions it's legitimacy. Whos gunna punish the government from lying to us? They gunna go out of business? Only ones to punish them are its citizens... oh but lord forbid that. The US only exists on what they are most afraid of and will punish when caught doing so... Citizens defying government control... Not accepting what is taking place... Revolutionary war ring a bell?

I have warn a mask maybe 1% of the time, and have been around multiple people who were supposedly positive and haven't yet to have any inclination of catching it.

What do *you* want to do? Never ignore that almost silent voice within telling you the right course of action. Be wary of excess noise and fear mongering from outside.

It is also interesting to note that these so called vaccines are for our 'health'. And yet I've seen little mentioned of the importance of losing weight, regular cardiovascular exercise, walking, contact with nature, eating real non- denatured/processed/refined foods, eating more antioxidant rich foods in general, getting lot of natural sunlight/vit D, minimising stress and getting plenty of sleep.

I also refuse to be coaxed or bullied into taking it, which seems the direction of travel (which incidentally, looks to be formally denied to me, and also, makes this whole thing look even more sketchy), because I'm an 'unhealthy', 'unclean' person who actually takes care of his health using methods that require some effort.

I got mine, I was able to piggyback on my pops as a caregiver in my state. I’ll probably start showing signs of CTE from football any day now, so vaccine side effects are light love😂 I’m two weeks removed from the second shot now, had a fever and some chills for a couple days after, my dad was fine because he’s 89 and doesn’t have as strong of an immune system response. I don’t know, I’m banking on the medical field taking it themselves first, so I doubt it’s that bad. I think the issue with the hurry is more about how effective it is, how long it gives immunity for, etc. Basically came down to risking something that could go sideways vs virus that I know has killed a bunch of people and caused others some long term problems. I’m no stranger to dangerous activities between being a bouncer for ten years, playing like 18 years of football, and now I’m out here ducking hockey pucks lmao, so it’s just one more dice roll in life for me😝

MCheetah · Answer

Option D. No, I don't trust it, no I don't think it's safe or in the best interests of the people (because when has modern government EVER done anything in our best interests, especially when it comes to our health, safety, and welfare), and no, I would not take it if offered. I'd sooner quit my job than be forced to put something strange and unknown in my body just because some politicians tell us we have to. Also, I live in a place where it is not required, nor necessary, to take, South Korea. I'm not even sure if the vaccine is even being offered here, because COVID isn't that high, or even an issue anywhere outside of Seoul.

exitseven · Answer

I had the first dose of the Moderna vaccine last week. My wife got both shots last month. She had a sore arm at the injection site and on the second shot she had a headache. I have had people tell me they have had fever and chills on the second shot for about 24 hours. This actually means that it is working.
I got the shot Wednesday, Thursday my arm was moderately sore but yesterday it was so sore I had to cut my workout short. Today it is getting better.
I know this was a rush job but Moderna tested it on 30,000 people. A few got sick and I think somebody died but it is unclear (they say) what that person died from.
I think there is a bigger risk of dying from the virus than dying from the vaccine.
I did some research about mRNA and I'm convinced it is not voodoo science.

Stoner710 · Answer

I plan on taking the vaccine but I want to make sure people over the age of 65 get it first. Covid is primarily killing the elderly when you actually add up the death bellow 55 it comes out to roughly about 50,000 I’d have to do the math again since the changes. Most of the deaths have been in the elderly community although 116-year-old nun I think it was in France did get covid and survived. Still I’m 27 I don’t need to get it yet figured wait until Mid April

JDavid25 · Answer

Kids don't really contract or spread the "virus", so you are fine with that.. Also the vaccines are not really vaccines.. They are experimental RNA directors.. They won't stop any you from spreading the "virus" even if you take it.. Also, you are in the age group where you are 99.98 percent likely to survive.. So all things considered.. You'll be better off if you didn't take it..

hhH2traveler · Answer

What was it, the moderna or nbiotech phiser or the Johnson, if you live in the united states you said?
I think the johnson is the best one if you can pick or want to wait, im not sure about being vaccinated at all but if you live with an at risk person in your household then maybe get them some supplements to boost their immune health at least.

cheapshotbob · Answer

i just found ou i have a chance to get it but with how paranoid people are in the south and with how rumors and fake news spreads im not sure. i can't find any real truth that does not involve people dieing from it.

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

No gene therapy, no sketchy biological agents, no Luciferase. The crowd pushing that needs to become more lemming-like, and charge right over a cliff!

joeldalton · Answer

Children are not spreaders of Covid-19. There is no health risk to you being around them in a classroom. The vaccine manufacturers are protected from any liability, so you will not see class action lawsuits if the vaccines cause harm.

Massageman · Answer

Well actually, my age group was already offered its shots. I passed this time around. If we see better efficacy and far fewer side effects and deaths from the vaccine, I'll re-evaluate.

kkirk4442 · Answer

As a health care professional, I have had both doses of the vaccine.

AmtgardJean · Answer

I work health care. It was basically told to me it is not mandatory. But it is Mandatory.

front2back · Answer

No, I won't take it. (1.) I'm 24, don't need it. (2.) I despise big pharma and refuse to get it on principle.

douride2 · Answer

I will get vaccinated when it becomes available here.

Anonymous · Answer

Instead of vaccinating people, I wish they would just test to see if you've already had it. I can't imagine that after 14 months of this shit, anyone hasn't already had it.

Anonymous · Answer

I can't think of a single reason not to take it. I will take it when it is offered. If there was anything wrong with it they wouldn't have given it to all of the nations healthcare workers
