Nope. I'm sure it helped save my life because I had Covid twice and it wasn't as severe as it was for my unvaxxed friends who had it. I never needed a hospital or struggled to breathe.
It certainly is not a vaccine and it certainly didn't prevent anyone from getting the disease. In fact I saw a study out the other day showing that the more vaxes you have the more likely you are to get the disease. While I don't know anyone who died from the disease I know 8 people who died from the vax. Then there are the vax injured I know. One guy lost part of his colon (blood clots) one guy had adenopathy (swelling in the neck) one woman had shingles, one woman has ongoing neuropathy. (she can't feel her toes or ears). One guy had Bells palsy. Three guys had heart attacks, One woman had her heart stop three times on the way to the hospital. One guy has myocarditis. One has brain cancer. Nove of them were sick before the vax. All of them have had life altering/ending events from the vax.
@ElwoodBlues Blah blah blah oh look the Darwin Award winner is blathering again. Maybe you should go read another study or three. It may help you pass the time until your Darwin arrives. Time is growing short.
not at all, I was alerted to the disease before most, got an epidemiologist in the family zoonotic infections happen all the time, across history it is NO perfect preventative, but the bost to your immune system data does work
I understand your concerns, for each piece of real data,, there are 50 more with an agenda this one? get you scared for political power
A rise in excess mortalities continues on globally in the wake of the pandemic ranging from immune deficiencies to a host of cardiac related deaths. And yet there are no ongoing investigations being conducted by WHO or the CDC. 🤔
@SW-User friends, family, colleagues, acquaintances, etc. Many of whom were in good health prior to getting vaccine/boosters
just because it's not posted all over the internet, or the communist news network didn't report on it doesn't mean it didn't happen...

@wildbill83 OK, well the thing is, I have many friends, family members, colleagues and acquantainces too and NONE of them have had anything worse than a mild fever or a sore arm. My parents are in their 80s and they have had 7 boosters each. Still going strong. So.. it's not happening, sorry.
Oh wait sorry, my friend who was 28 did die. But then, he refused to take the vaccine, caught covid and died less than 2 weeks later.
@wildbill83 No evidence whatsoever 🙄 Yup. Sounds like your talking to another bot/lemming/sheep….pick your label they’re all the same. [media=https://youtu.be/CROf3xmGzYI] [media=https://youtu.be/FxIug6k1mso] There are dozens more
Absolutely. I was forced to take it in order to take international flights so it was kind of like russian roulette. I did not want to take it. Got cavernoma in the brain after 2 astra zeneca shots and ended up in hospital without any prior events.
I am grateful I chose not to get it. I feel bad for those who had to choose between their livelihoods and their freedom to choose. In America, that should never have been a choice people had to make. The government should never have been able to mandate an experimental and untried substance😡
@pdockal nothing is perfect. Risk is based on %. They deal with millions of drugs and some turn out unsafe. But Covid killed a million Americans and vaccines many fewer.
It is not a vaccine if you can still transmit and get covid. If it were a real vaccine you would not have to worry and still wear masks, it just does not make any sense. People I know still got Covid after all after 3 or 4 jabs !
Nobody who was young , healthy and NOT in hospital died of Covid.
@revenant Yep. All they do is move the goal posts to cover up their misdeeds and further their agenda. Funny how the “intelligent” people who know better berate you for questioning rhetoric that doesn’t add up. I’m sure lemmings do the same to their comrades who refuse to join the rush off the cliff edge.
@revenant Yup. People who think they are intelligent never question and only berate those who do. All the while they fail to understand that questions are the very foundation of knowledge. But that’s how stupid they are.
I didn't get vaccinated and I am not regretting it. I've been hospitalised in the past for pneumonia and some tried to scare me that I belong to the sensitive group. I wasn't scared. I got covid once that I was diagnosed and once more that I was isolated already for my own purposes, and I didn't get tested but it felt similar. Both times I experienced a heavy flu. I rested and healed back, like I would do from any kind of flu. I managed to get all the way into China now without a vaccine. But as I've said again in the past, it's not that I suddenly developed an opinion towards a vaccine. It's years of lifestyle choices. When I have a headache, I drink water, massage my head and rest. When I have gut ache I fast and slow down. I mean I am finding natural and old ways to fight of diseases, leaving it mostly on my body's natural ability to heal and trusting that. I've put my health as a priority, what I eat, to get enough rest, air, water, sun, to exercise and be aware of my thoughts and choices, as much as I can every period of life. I wasn't educated regarding these things, I had to figure out by myself. I continue on the naturopathic path, I'm interested in the traditional healing ways. And my life keeps on getting better...
I regret it. I could have self isolated and gotten through it. Unfortunately, the shots worsened my allergies to the point where I got pneumonia, had to sleep sitting up for months, and then developed asthma. At this point, (because it's spring), I can't go outside without a mask. So for me...it's like Covid time all over again.
you are chancing it , this Virus is Real and can have long term effects , i have my 2 primaries Pfizer and thinking about the Booster shot but Pfizer again cause i don't wanna mix em with Moderna or whatever else is out there
@samueltyler2 Since you are not very scientific as is obvious by your lack of research may I suggest you look up Dr John Campbell on Youtube. If you go back to original posts he was very frightened of covid and when the vax came out was very pro vax. He based that on the science available at the time. It is very interesting how he has evolved in his thinking and the science that he presents. Not too long ago I happened on one of his podcasts where he said he regrets getting the vax. He has done a complete 180 in his beliefs. There are a ton of studies showing the vaxes are deadly.
Medicine is a way to reduce risk. You can not take it but have a higher risk of getting sick or take it and lower the risk. No one is trying to poison anyone or we’d all be dead.
@Kypro Actually the data I have been following is very recent. I was sort of neutral towards the vax until family who were vaxed died suddenly and unexpectedly. That is when my opinion became much more defined,
Honestly anybody with a phone can look up how many people died from Covid vs. how many people died from the vaccine and decide for themselves which one is worse….
@hippyjoe1955 I don’t think you get what I’m saying. Read the actual words. You say it’s online. So is all the information to the contrary. You say you see it happening. I see the contrary. So the only way you can prove yourself right is with a legitimate documentation that is backed by people that are considered experts on this subject. So just saying it doesn’t make it true or me saying that I am a millionaire and since I wrote it here it is online, that makes it true, by your logic. Funny enough in lot even saying you’re wrong. I’m simply saying that by your logic anyone arguing the counter point is also correct.
@Josh1454 I don't think you understand what I said. Yes the information is online. So is the other side. How do you determine which is accurate and which is misleading. I don't appeal to authority. I don't rely on peer reviewed studies. I base my opinion on information I see that meshes with what I experience. If there are two weather reports one says the sun is out and the other says that rain is falling. Which report do I believe. Both are online. Well I don't know about you but I look out the window. If I see the sun shining I know the report that the sky is cloudy is not accurate.
If you haven't been keeping up with the most recent data you are severely out of date.
I don't need the "latest data," because the vaccines have ALREADY saved over ONE MILLION lives.
Here's the math behind the ONE MILLION SAVED number.
The data https://similarworlds.com/disease-illness/vaccines/4268857-Covid-Vaccine-effectiveness-data-from-the-US-2021 says 80% of US Covid deaths came from the 25% unvaxxed. 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.
UPDATE
OK, dippyjoe, I'le bite. Link us to your evidence and your "up to date data." Oh, wait, I forgot, links and evidence are your kryptonite, LOL!!!
@ElwoodBlues and you are eagerly waiting for your Darwin Award to arrive thanks to those 'life saving' jabs. You really need some up to date data. That nonsense you spew was disproven years ago.
I knew any vaccine is a bio-weapon, yes: against a pathogen .
One that in the case of Covid can cause anything from very mild flu-like symptoms to long-term illness, even death. Though the risk of death in an otherwise healthy sufferer is very low.
While influenza is very unpleasant (and can kill an individual already in frail health), shingles can be very unpleasant and painful, poliomyelitis can cripple you, and tuberculosis and pneumonia are easily fatal if untreated. (I have been vaccinated against all these, Oh, and diptheria and tetanus too - .)
I also knew any medication can have side-effects, but of severity normally proportional to their rarity; so of generally low risk.
I also know the difference between hazard and risk - and between reality and pro-pandemic rumours.
[I did have some rather odd after-effects of my first inoculation against SARS_Covid, but they soon passed and I decided they simply showed the vaccine and my immune system were working hard!]
@ArishMell So you are denying you have been conned despite insurmountable evidence that the vaxes don't work and do cause immense harm and were used to 'combat' a virus that was not very deadly. Those are the facts. If you don't believe me simply follow the episodes on youtube put out by one John Campbell who went from terror of the virus to relief of the vax to the realization that the virus was not very deadly to the realization that the vaxes are very deadly to the statement the having looked at all the evidence now he is very anti vax. He is very good at popularizing science. You might want to give him a listen. I think he is British and a doctor of nursing maybe retired? Not sure. Look him up and watch some of his oldest videos first just to get a feel for how far he has come based on the science.
@hippyjoe1955 Yes because I do not feel anyone has conned me.
Nor do I see any genuine evidence that I have, only allegations of it from anti-vaccination campaigners with their own motives.
I have been vaccinated, have no qualms about risking booster vaccination, have not knowingly been infected with Covid, I am still alive and that's what counts. If I was to be afraid of risk as you suggest I should be I'd go nowhere and do nowt.
I gather there have been particular problems with one make of virus, which perhaps is not very surprising given the rush to develop them, but I don't know the medical facts there. it is right of course that any vaccine is kept under review.
John Campbell.... not heard of him but I'll look out for his name. Actually I don't use YouTube so I don't know how to search it. I used to follow interesting links suggested to me but gave up after Google took it over and ruined it!
@ArishMell Yes Google is a problem. Youtube is very user friendly. click on the search icon then type in what you want to find. Youtube gives you a whole list of his articles. Give it a go. I don't follow links for the sake of following links either. I came to be anti vax after my brother in law was killed by the vax. Since then 7 other people I knew also died within hours of getting the vax. Occam's Razor cuts very close on this one.
Yes! I absolutely regret it! I developed Lichen Planus which is a chronic skin disease that I am stuck with the rest of my life. Everything I love triggers it!
No. They were free and the original variant was ten times as deadly to people in my age bracket. Today I've had covid three times as well, and I'm fine, probably because I didn't expose myself until the omnicron variant was endemic here.
SW-User
No regrets. I've had the vaccine four times and I feel absolutely fine. I trust science, if I get an infection I will also accept antibiotics or whatever the doctor thinks is in my best interests.
@anythingoes477 they really are as both support right wing political views and prioritise the top one per cent of society instead of the majority working class
@hippyjoe1955 they have not admitted promoting false stories on a wide scale. I am open to sources but look at the big picture of all information. Too many want to sell books by saying outrageous things
Believing your theory about the vaccine would require me to believe that all the different reports on the statistics, showing that vaccinated people who still got covid did not get as sick and died less often, were faked by some vast conspiracy. I don't believe that. I do not regret getting vaccinated repeatedly against covid any more than I regret getting annual flu shots.
@SW-User As have you. You need to open your eyes to what has happened here. This was not for your benefit. Human created virus and human created antidote. Hmmmm. Yeah I'll line up for my 12th shot.... Too funny.
I did not want the vaccine. I wasn’t forced but everything was shut down and no one would accept you in any type of business without proof of vaccination.
Vaccination made it possible to continue my life. I haven’t suffered any ill effects that I know of yet.
The pandemic was such a deep dark tunnel of endlessness for me. I was so lonely. While we were in it I didn’t know if it would last for many many years.
If I had known that it would be over as soon as it was I would have pushed through and not been vaccinated as I have never perceived Covid to be a threat to my life and don’t know if the vaccine is harmful.
No regrets, have had covid twice. As i had the first back in 2020, i barely avoided the hospital until i got the shot. I recently had covid again and it was no big deal. Like a cold. So it helped me and i am in the very high risk group. The side effects are scary. I feel bad about the prople who reacted to the shots. Everyone is allowed to have a opinion but we all have to live with covid now. Rather than argue, just accept the others right to accept or refuse.
That's not the issue It's the fact that people are trying to shove their opinions/agenda on others
WE SHOULD ALWAYS question the government as they are beholden to the rich and big business rather then we the people and rarely do what's right compaired to doing whatever week get them re-elected!!!!!!
pure blood here; got covid early, was like a mild flu, never wear a mask, haven't gotten it since; I trust biology & common sense over politically funded science...
SW-User
@wildbill83 Same I’ve never tested positive for covid. I may have had it, not sure.
I had the vaccinations against Covid, if that is what your mean, and for several other diseases; I do not regret them and I do not believe your accusation against any of them,
DISINFO: THE PFIZER VACCINE COULD BE A BIOLOGICAL WEAPON
SUMMARY The Pfizer vaccine could be a biological weapon and could be even more dangerous than Covid-19. The Pfizer vaccine could have previously undisclosed negative effects on health, such as ALS, Alzheimer and other degenerative neurological diseases.
DISPROOF Recurrent pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative about COVID-19 vaccination, aiming to discredit Western vaccines by claiming that such vaccines have serious negative side effects on human health. This narrative is part of a major pro-Kremlin propaganda campaign in support of the Russian Sputnik V vaccine.
The claim that the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine (Comirnaty) could be a biological weapon lacks any factual basis. It is one of many anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. There is also no evidence linking the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine to Prion diseases or degenerative neurological disorders such as ALS or Alzheimer's, as the article claims.
The side effects of the vaccine have been assessed by the competent control bodies: the World Health Organisation (WHO) and the European Medicine Agency approved the vaccine in 2020, rating its efficacy at 94.6% in adults and 100% in the 12-16 age group. According to the EMA's official statement and the assessments of its Pharmacovigilance Risk Assessment Committee (PRAC):
“EMA’s human medicines committee (CHMP) has completed its rigorous evaluation of Comirnaty, concluding by consensus that sufficiently robust data on the quality, safety and efficacy of the vaccine are now available to recommend a formal conditional marketing authorisation. [...] The most common side effects with Comirnaty were usually mild or moderate and got better within a few days after vaccination. They included pain and swelling at the injection site, tiredness, headache, muscle and joint pain, chills and fever”.
Here you can read a well-documented article on pro-Kremlin disinformation aimed at discrediting Western vaccines and especially the Pfizer/Biontech vaccine, as well as EUvsDisinfo’s in-depth analysis of these disinformation narratives about the negative effects of the Pfitzer/BioNTech vaccine.
The Pfitzer/BioNTech vaccine has never been linked by the competent control bodies to Prion diseases or neurodegenerative disorders. The article’s claim is based on an article that appeared in January 2021 article signed by J. Barten Classen, MD.
Classen's article, as well as his previous work, have been widely debunked by experts, including by the American Council on Science and Health, which stated that:
“Now, a new myth has reared its ugly head. A paper written by a well-known anti-vaxxer named J. Bart Classen and published in a scientific journal if we can even call it that (because it's not indexed in PubMed) claims that the mRNA vaccines that target coronavirus could cause prion diseases like Alzheimer's. It's total garbage”.
Yeah. The vaccine was even confirmed after the fact to be ineffective against covid. I got covid a year after getting it, so clearly it doesn't work. There's no point in taking rushed experimental vaccines that we don't yet know the long term health effects of. All short term gains.
OH YES!!!! My balls swelled up and big as beach balls and I think I became sterile because I have not gotten my hand pregnant yet. I think I'm dying slowly. I think there are itty bitty transmitters in me now........maybe broadcasting to Russia. And I like Bud Lite now. I'm totally freaking. And don't even get me going on the magnets. Silverware sticking to me.....I have to pull myself off of my car fender when I walk by it.
I regret it. I now see Fauci in my dreams, whenever I think about what to eat, it’s always Italian. And let’s not get started on the incessant thoughts of gelato. It’s been hell.
@SmileOnYourBrother I was in north Italy in one of those few towns locked down early in February while y'all had yet to hear the word 'coronavirus' but were preemptively hoarding toilet paper for a respiratory virus, so figure.
