I don't have a phD in medicine or any other science. And consensus of science is that vaccines are safe and only way out of this. People who are working they ass of in research center's, labs, hospital's while we debate online and expressing OUR opinions. Who cares about your opinion if a public safety is under threat and you are not trained and schooled to deal with it. It's not about you, it's about the society that you are living it. Don't get me wrong, introspection is important in life but never underestimate the power of fear influence that is spreading online. All the scientists, especially virologists that you'll meet will tell you to get a vaccine. And there will ALWAYS be exceptions like doctors who are hesitant about vaccines but exceptions does not make the rules, nothing in Nature is 100%. But they can have a huge influence over public because of today's easy internet access and the ground is pretty fertile now because people are stressed abnormally in the last year and a half. And a lack of trust is not a surprise also because of distrust in governments and corporation's in general. Which is fine by me but distrust in a science, especially in critical situation like this, where public health system is under threat - is not fine! You can distrust big pharma corporations and their motif's but talk to unbiased scientists and listen to them. Talk to doctors and researchers with an open mind and listen to them about covid vaccine specifically. How many of the unvaccinated have done that? Sincerely? Have you done that? Please, be honest with yourself. I've done that and found out even if I spent thousands of hours reading online about vaccines and covid I still know SHIT about it. I was ignorant and self centered but at least I admit it to myself. I remembered my friend, a doctor who spent whole winter working in hospital like crazy, even on Christmas day because the hospitals were so full of people dying while we jerk off online, not wearing masks, debating and refusing vaccines. Let this pandemic be a lesson for a much bigger problem upcoming - climate change, preservation of our planet and all the Life in it. *applause* There’s nothing wrong with skepticism or distrust that comes from flagrant profiteering from corporations, but it can be taken too far at some point. There’s more at stake here than the need to be right or “stick it to The Man”. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The only effect censorship has is people get even more angry for not being able to voice opinion. Discourse is much preferred. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 11, 2021 I'm unvaccinated and finally contracted COVID about a month ago. Luckily, I just had a runny nose and a low grade fever for a few days before fully recovering. I feel I made a personal choice not to get vaccinated and therefore in a way I chose COVID over the vaccine and I'm okay with how things turned out Teal Swan is a teacher I also respect and I do believe the REACTION to COVID is the true danger… Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted August 11, 2021 @Carl-Richard so does selling McDonald's cheeseburgers but you don't see me protesting that. @Danioover9000 Yes I did. I thought it was just a cold until my daughter's father's wife tested positive because she lost her sense of smell for a few days and so we all got tested.

Posted August 13, 2021 Always funny when people try to claim freedom by taking away your freedom. I'm with @Clint Eastwood and George Carlin on this one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted August 13, 2021 Funny thing is, even if you're vaccinated, you can still catch the virus and furthermore, you can carry and spread the virus as well. That just means if you're vaccinated, you're less likely to get hospitalized if you happen to catch it. That's it. It's only for your survival. Therefore, the whole 'blame the anti-vaxxers' perspective makes literally no sense. It's astonishing that people actually believe that we can stop spreading of the virus by vaccinating everybody.

Posted August 13, 2021 @Opo Heh. Have you studied formal mathematical and computational logic? I have. The argument that somehow only stupid people are skeptical about vaccines cracks me up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
