I heard it makes you vote Democrat. That can't be true, right? I haven't voted since I got my shots, so I can't say for sure, but lately that 8" cross in my neighbor's yard has begun to annoy me. Not a good sign.

On the bright side, I've only gotten the Covid once since I got my shots, and I didn't die, so I guess it was worth it. Of course, it does seem a bit ironic that I caught the Covid standing in line at an Ocala shopping mall to get my last free Covid shot from the Government.

I wish the Chinese would share their secret for how to not get sick without a vaccine from a disease that started in a "wet market" in that city where they keep their bioweapons lab. According to the World Health Organization, they only had 5,588 deaths, in a nation of 1.5 billion people. And strangely enough, theirs was the only economy in the world that actually grew last year. Maybe they sold us defective masks and kept the good ones for themselves!

Naw -- that sounds like a conspiracy theory. Maybe we just need to eat more bats.

Excellent post! Love it - LOL

I have decided, you have all convinced me, there is no need to get the vaccine. With or without the vaccine, everyone is going to die anyway. In the long run, it won't make any difference.

Besides, if you get a vaccination you might live long enough to get Alzheimer's, lung cancer, liver cancer, or die from a stroke or heart attack. We should probably list those as possible long-term side effects of the vaccine. I mean, why is the government lying to us and not telling us about those side effects.

While I think you are being disingenuous, if you are serious, watch "Logan's Run". That society had the solution to all the problems of aging

Me? Disingenuous? LOL - yup...

And yes, Logans Run was awesome. I loved the old guy in the library with the cats.

There is a very significant long term side effect from getting the vaccine. It is called a longer life with a better quality of living than if you choose not to get the vaccine. Of course, this is just a generality. A non-vaxer might be able to escape coming down with COVID-19...or that person may not. But, non -vaxers might also want to run across the Sunshine State Parkway just to see if can be done safely as well.

This argument is a non-starter with me. While I wish everyone a long and happy life, I long ago stopped trying to get people to not jump off bridges with rubber bands attached, or jump out of perfectly good working airplanes.

However, I do have a problem if they jump out of an airplane and land on me in my back yard. When someone takes an action (or in this case, fails to take any action) that puts my life at risk, I get grumpy.

My personal experience, once I was fully vaxxed, was a huge feeling of relief that is a feeling that I can not express in words. I could not imagine living my life without this vaccine in me. Not having that feeling of euphoria, relief and absolute freedom would not be the way I choose to move forward with my life.

Yes we too, being in the high risk group, were very relieved when we got our second Moderna shot. We are grateful to those scientists who were able to develop this vaccine in record time.

I was going to post this in a new thread, but it seems to be related to this one:

"Findings

People who had recovered from COVID-19, including those no longer reporting symptoms, exhibited significant cognitive deficits versus controls when controlling for age, gender, education level, income, racial-ethnic group, pre-existing medical disorders, tiredness, depression and anxiety. "

Cognitive deficits in people who have recovered from COVID-19

Getting vaccinated gives BOTH you and society at large an insurance policy. Each of us does NOT live on a bubbled over island. By that, I mean that the UNvaccinated are ACTUALLY doing great harm to the vaccinated. For one example........ because the UNvaccinated are clogging up hospitals in Florida, Texas, and nationwide - elective surgeries get POSTPONED, which are more profitable than CV patients. Even possibly cancerous tumor surgeries are postponed. Health insurance cost goes up for the vaccinated because of the negligence of the UNvaccinated. And I am NOT talking about the FEW that are unable to take the vaccine.

Another situation where the UNvaccinated are messing over ALL of society is ........the virus is using the unvaccinated as a Petrie dish to evolve and mutate - perhaps to a more virulent form that can overcome the vaccine. When and IF that happens, then the world as we know it is TOAST. We can ALL HOPE that it never gets that bad - so why take a chance when by acting fast and getting the vaccine - we can prevent this type of doomsday scenario! Incidentally, Florida is leading the US in the number of new cases. Texas is 2nd worst!!!!!!

That IS a good important post and would make a good new thread. I heard about that on the news recently.I read that Delta is affecting many younger people neurologically, which IS what you are saying. I asked the question here a few days ago about if this becomes common knowledge to MOTHERS of school-age children - will they refuse to send those children to a dangerous, indoor school filled with both vaccinated and UNvaccinated kids. And could that show up after 10 years as a society-wide drop in IQs and creativity?

We search for, we demand perfect solutions to everything. REALITY, there is no perfect solution to anything.
I strangely judge all by the same rules. Truly a majority of one.

The covid vaccine. To get it or not to a claimed choice. Hum, the polio vaccine, the small pox vaccine, we were not give a choice. Both were wiped out in the United States. Polio was a horror. The Salk vaccine came to market a year or so before I was born. Dr. Salk gave it to the world and made nothing on the miracle he created.

Permanent side effects? Truth we do not know. Reality, death is a permanent side effect to life. Thought? People refuse to see that REALITY.
