It altered some lung cells in such a way to help the patient live longer.

I believe that this vaccine challenges the body's own defenses in the regular way and soon your macrophages, your soldiers, are lining up to attack it and in some cases making you sick doing it. I consider my bodies response to the second shot just that. I was tired, had headaches and ghost pains that "bit" me here and there. A very typical response to your body recognizing an invader and getting ready for it.

People who believe there are NO deaths from the vaccine usually are the people who believe EVERYBODY dies when they get the disease. When do we start believing liars like the cdc, who or the media?

So your saying all first responders should not be able to do their job if their not going to get vaccinated. What if 2/3 of the first responders refuse and your 911 call doesn’t get
dispatched ? Will you think the same way ?

You can’t just replace 2/3 of the military in a day . And what’s to say recruitment will go down to
1/3 of quotas if a vaccination is required . You think they should
start the draft ?

With fewer than 3% of those who get Covid ending up on a ventilator, I don’t see the direct correlation...

Correct me if I am wrong, but I understood the shot only protects you from getting I'll from the virus, but doesnt keep you from carrying it or giving it to others. I believe that is why they say to continue wearing mask and social distancing?
Therefore, unless you actively have the virus, anyone, in any profession should have no reason not to go to work, especially if those around them have had the shots, as they are protected.

To anyone, don't want the Covid vaccine? Fine, just don't start whining when you find yourself on a ventilator.
