I wonder how many anitvaxxers

I have diabetes, which they only discovered after I went to the hospital for something else. It had likely been with me a few years.

While there I got several insulin injections per day. One long lasting and sometimes two short term. Then when I went home I had to inject myself once a day with insulin. Then we switched to semaglutide, which is only one injection per week.

I have gotten quite good at limiting pain and bleeding. The key is to pick a blob of love handle fat, use a slow and steady, yet committed poke. A steady push of the pen-button. A few seconds wait with minimal jittering, then I grab the pen firmly at the base and slowly withdraw it to prevent shifting and side slices. I hardly ever get blood anymore or pain. I am efficient and it is muscle memory.

Unlike nurses who just plunge right in and press. Ouch!

Now, vaccines can cause swelling, of course.

I got a flu shot this year and then then a few hours later got a fever and then threw up off and on for 36 hours. Even water. I do not know why but I wonder if it was my body reacting to the vaccine.

I guess it is better than the flu. Yet I do not know if I have ever had the flu.

I got shots back in 2020 when I had Covid saw too many people sick and even die but not since then. My doctor said the Flu shot is more important than Covid shot

I was always scared of needles as kid, but hasn't stopped me from getting vaccinated as an adult, I grew out of it, actually don't even mind having blood drawn now.

Well the shot doesn't actually hurt. I'm not anti vax and have a rudimentary understanding how they work. I am anti mandat. I'm smart enough to make good decisions on my own, other people are too.

They mostly give flu vaccine for kids via nasal spray now in England. The issue with methods like that is getting a consistent air/vaccine mix that can be evenly absorbed through the lungs. It's simply not possible for many vaccines due to the target receptor and how it might be inadvertently picked up by another one on the way.

I doubt it tbh. I am what you would call an "anti-vaxxer" (mis-nomer because im not or even want to stop anyone from injecting themselves with whatever they want).

The vast majority of people who dont want injections will have read the material supporting injections from big pharma and drs on the payroll but also read content that is counter narrative to the orthodoxy of big pharma.

And then came along the covid narrative that was so full of holes, contradictions and flat out lies its pushed a whole lot more people to start questioning the injection industry.

Most are preventing children from getting it. So if you're right, it's a displaced fear.

I'm all for vaccines, but I see no point in the flu vaccine. If I get the flu, so be it.

I don’t have hatred or fear, I have discernment and know the medical and government are corrupted.

It’s that simple 🤓

For decades there has been no serious flare ups, we all were vaccinated and are still alive!! Wtf are people going on about?

No, I remember the previous experimental shot, so I read môre about this ons. Unbelievable!

it could be, but I don't even remember the antivax crowd even being a thing until recent decades ... like how did they manage to endure the needle before, when they weren't whining about it?

edit:
ahhhh I see you've met one of the resident antivaxxers / moon landing hoaxers / et al. (why do these things always seem to coalesce in the same individuals? pretty soon we'll have anti-gravity people adding to the mix, always be on the lookout for something to be against and say is a hoax)
