I think yer going a bit overboard on the number of jabs. Most peeps in the US have gotten 2 jabs, and some folks, like myself, got a third. I have not felt any major symptoms from the thing since then (3rd shot was a year ago), although on two occasions after my first bout with it in 2020, I have had a mild sore-throat for a day. And that was over the past 6 months. For some people, COVID can be fatal without being vaccinated. One never knows on that bit. 7 or so years ago I was bitten by a violent dog on a dark street at night. Since the owner could not be identified at the time, I was forced to get the rabies vaccine regimen, because rabies is fatal. Like COVID MIGHT be. So I got the shots, 14 or so or whatever it was, and I lived. It turned out that the dog was not rabid, because the owner was later found, and it was just a neighborhood dog that got loose and was territorial. Same with the COVID vax. Isn't it better to err on side of caution and get the vax in case you needed it? Better to have something you do not need, than to need something you do not have.
Please stop. You're trying to reason with him. When was the last time that worked? I think a better approach would be, "Look, traffic! Go play!"
You mean dealing with cancer for 15 years and then eventually dying with a respiratory disease? Sounds normal. You on the other hand will probably stroke out while driving on the freeway… ‘Unexplained death of a faghag’
Pascal’s wager never has to deal with informed consent. Better to err on the side of not taking an experimental, dangerous, unnecessary therapeutic with unknown short, medium and long term consequences for a virus that’s not much deadlier than a flu.
In these past two years, did we ever discover if the Covid was deadlier than Influenza, among unvaccinated people? I forget.
COVID might be more deadly than flu. But it wouldn’t be by much. The fuckery of the data make knowing impossible. Plus they were so fucking wrong at the beginning. By orders of magnitude. But it’s probably 0.1 similar to the flu. and the vaccines don’t work…that’s undeniable.
I would argue it is deniable. I have been alive for many years, and I know my body. On two occasions since the pandemic started, and after I got my shots. I felt "funny". I know what I felt like in the past when I got the flu. And when I got the weird sore throat for a day, it was not the flu. It was also unlike anything I had in the past. I have had strep throat many times when I was a yute. It was not that either. So I am darn sure that I had the stupid COVID, and the vaccines prevented the bad throat from becoming something more serious.
And you have zero way to prove that. I mean zero. I could just as easily say that my innate immunity to COVID also prevented any infection from being serious. And that if I’d been ‘vaccinated’ my response might have been worse. There’s plenty of evidence for this by the way. The COVID products are garbage. They do more harm than good. Undeniable.
K, well, we will agree to disagree. Everyone is unique, and has unique responses to infections, immunizations, etc. I suppose there is no way to quantify under a neutral umbrella. *Shrugs*
