To vax or not to vax - that is the Cult-of-Vid question!

@Northerner says
Here's what the evidence from 2021 says. It says the vaccines saved over 1 million American lives in 2021.

In 2021, the 75% of Americans fully vaccinated produced under 20% of the Covid deaths, while the 25% unvaccinated Americans produced over 80% of the Covid deaths.

In 2021, the 75% of Americans fully vaccinated produced under 31% of Covid cases; while the 25% unvaccinated Americans produced nearly 70% of Covid cases.

This means the US unvaccinated had a 5X higher chance of contracting Covid compared to the vaccinated per capita, and that overall the unvaccinated had about a 15X higher probability of Covid death per capita.

Note: since 'Long Covid' occurs in 15% to 25% of Covid cases, that means there is also a 5X higher prevalence of Long Covid per capita among the unvaccinated.

Here's the math behind the ONE MILLION SAVED number.

US Unvaxxed population = 83 million; vaxxed = 249 million. CDC estimate for US Covid deaths in 2021 is 460,000, so 368,000 deaths among the unvaxxed and 92,000 among the vaxxed - your basic pandemic of the unvaccinated.

That works out to a 0.44% death rate among unvaxxed, and a 0.037% death rate among the vaccinated. Please, get out your calculator and check my work!

If the death rate among vaxxed were equal to the death rate among the unvaxxed, that would have resulted in 1.1 million deaths instead of 92 thousand in 2021. Thus the vaccines have ALREADY saved OVER ONE MILLION lives in 2021 alone. That's a YUGE vaccine benefit!!!

And that's just deaths. In 2021, the vaccinated also benefit from a 5X lower infection rate, at least a 5X lower hospitalization rate, and a 5X lower 'long Covid' rate.

I don’t see anything on the MSM news on sudden deaths amongst the vaccinated.
But I can guarantee If all these sudden deaths were from unvaccinated people it would be all over the news!

If you have verifiable, documented evidence that Covid vaccines are ineffective or dangerous, please do post it. If you do not have evidence then you are just spreading false rumors to frighten people.

I still wear my mask when I’m out in public, because I want to avoid catching Covid, and people are still spreading it. A lot of people aren’t vaccinated and won’t wear masks.
I assume they don’t care, but I refuse to make that my problem.

I’ve been vaccinated, had the booster shots, and so far (knock wood) I haven’t gotten Covid. Everyone else in my family has, now. The ones who are still alive (again, knock wood) are all vaccinated and have recovered.

If people want to take health advice from uneducated blue collar conspiracy theorists over Doctors who have 8 to 10 years of medical school. That's their choice, you have a constitutional right to be a dumbass.

I've had two Moderna shots, a Moderna booster, had Covid-19,
but after 6 months your immunity wears off, so getting a booster shot
for COVID-19’s BA.4 and BA.5 Omicron subvariants.
My doctor says Covid Boosters will become just like annual flu
shots from now on.

I have not allowed to have anyone tell me to get vaxxed. From the start, it felt wrong for me, end of story.

I have long observed many times that vaccines do not live up to their billing. A warning was broadcast on the radio a number of years ago. Someone in the grocery store had measles so everyone should avoid the store - unless you had the measles as a kid and were thus immune. My mother in law spent her declining years in a dementia ward. Every year she would get the flu vaccine and every year she would get the flu as would her entire ward in the hospital.

I have a strong belief that the human body knows best how to fight off diseases without our artificial interventions and so I decided the new mRNA vaxes were not for me. Then the people started to get the vax and suffer the consequences. First one to get the vax got shingles. Then others got bells palsy and other neurological illnesses. My brother in law got his and died a few days later from blood clots. The neighbor got his and died in his sleep from cardiac arrest. A young man dropped dead from a heart attack walking across the parking lot. A young woman had her heart stop 3 times in the air ambulance. A middle aged man nearly died from blood clots in his bowel. All for what? A cold. I got delta and never missed a day's work. (I can work from home). Those who tried to encourage me to get the vax and got it themselves have missed work multiple times with covid. One fellow has had it 3 times and each time is worse than the time before.

in my immediate family 3 were vaxed and 3 were unvaxed. Everyone of us got covid. The three that were vaxed also got myocarditis or neuropathy or adenopathy. Fortunately none of the vax injuries in this group were fatal but they were severe enough that they all had to seek medical attention. None of them have fully recovered from the vax injuries.

I agree with everything you said about this subject. Evidence is already being produced that the anti vaxers were the wise ones amongst us. Time will tell!

Glad it appears to be going away. I vaxed but if someone else didn't, so what? Their choice

Flu shots yes Covid shots yes polio vax yes shingles vax yes, etc etc yes yes yes

Fuck ‘em tell them it’s a free Country!

Parody...yet pretty close to the truth.

I've never been vaccinated since the whole thing started and never will, part of the reason is too many deaths associated with vaccines and boosters, I we're already killing ourselves and don't need the extra help.

For myself, anti-vaxer, but for those with immune compromised systems, understandable. I did acquire covid and now how have my own antibodies.

Covid is real - the proven efficacy of the vaxes is not.
