I have something i want to share with the folks on SW who are feeling unsure or nervous about getting their COVID vaccine.

It's an episode of the podcast Oh No! Ross and Carrie and it features a woman who has never had a vaccination in her life (and is very nervous about getting the COVID vaccine) and Dr. Paul Offit who is an expert in vaccines and viruses.

Dr. Offit does a great job of explaining what is and is not true about this virus and the associated vaccines without shying away from the mistakes that have been made in the past.
I think anyone can get a lot out of it, even if you're not vaccine hesitant.

WHY SHOULD I GET VAXED ITS NOT WORTH THE RISK. ITS NOT A VACCINE ITS A GENE THERAPY NOT A VACCINE
@SexyLesGirl13

It's not gene therapy. The vaccine cannot alter your genetic code.
For a limited time it instructs your cells to produce spike proteins...and then it stops.
It can't penetrate the nucleus, and if it could it wouldn't be able to code and if it could it still wouldn't have enough information.

It's safe and it is saving lives.

@SexyLesGirl13 Try using science. Journals like the Lancet or something. Not far right extremist conspiracy sites that believes the big lie and in QAnon.
@SexyLesGirl13

Yup, it's a medical intervention and that means that some people are going to react badly to it.
Just look at those numbers.
Even in your own anti-vax sources they're showing odds of vaccine harm are utterly dwarfed by risk from the virus.

It's also rather disingenuous of them to blame the nature of the disease ( i.e. it's ability to enflame the vascular system) on the vaccines themselves.
But what can we expect from a platform that insists on calling it the Chinese virus.

You're an anti-vaxxer. Nothing i say will convince you and no medical research will outweigh the fringe elements you cling to.
This post is not for you, it's for people who want to do the right thing but are nervous about it.
@SexyLesGirl13 The all caps really helped me understand your nuanced scientific points. Thanks.
@CopperCicada CAPS NEVER MEANT ANYTHING TO ME.
@Pikachu I AM NOT ANTI VAX THEY SAY FOLLOW SCIENCE.WHEN I DID I FOUND BLOOD CLOT, NERVE ISSUES... AND THAT IT IS AN "EXPERIMENTAL GENE THERAPY"... WHY SHOULD I RUN THE RISK AND ITS A 97 ODD % OF SURVIVAL?

@canusernamebemyusername DO YOU MEAN THE SAME ONES MORE THAN LIKLY IN THE POCKET OF BILL GATES?

WOULD ALL 3 OF YOU ASK YOURSELVES :" where has the flu or cold gone?"
@SexyLesGirl13 See? Conspiracy. So because you think Bill Gates controls the world you are going to take advice from the kind of people that attacked the capital.
The flu and cold has been diminished because the same measures that slow covid also slow them.
@SexyLesGirl13

[quote]" where has the flu or cold gone?"[/quote]

They went where we would expect them to go with over a year of social distancing, sanitization and mask wearing.
Their vectors were all crippled. It would be shocking if they [i]hadn't[/i] diminished.

If you look for conspiracy you find it everywhere.
No more anti-vax talk in this thread. You're hurting people.
@SexyLesGirl13 More people have died from COVID than the vaccine, you insufferable ignoramus.
@canusernamebemyusername See? Conspiracy? that's just your way of discounting everything we have to say. i know what bill gates has done in india and africa as examples.

" you are going to take advice from the kind of people that attacked the capital."
way to move the goal post. what does one have to do with the other?

6 feet... lol mask are useless. the 6 feet is useless. you are telling me people standing at 6 feet will be protected by a mask that doesn't work? lol you are a sheep.

Dr. Anthony Fauci one of the few times Fauci was honest

@LeopoldBloom what is your source the MSM? LOL WELL DONE
@Pikachu conspiracy is just a way to dismiss a view point 6 feet is useless as the mask. hurting people? how if you are all vaccinated it is not an issue right?
oh wait the vaccine does not work.
how am i hurting you pikachu did i drain your electric pouches?

@SexyLesGirl13 What's your source, some crank on YouTube?

Trump was vaccinated in January. Are you saying the infallible orange god was wrong?
@LeopoldBloom was that you trying your hand at insults? Trump is no god if you want to think that go right ahead. do you think I'm Republican? is that why you called him "the infallible orange god?"
@SexyLesGirl13 Congratulations, you're the first liberal anti-vaxer I've met.
This comment is hidden. Show Comment
@SexyLesGirl13 OK, then you're one of those "independents" who think the Republican party is too liberal.
@LeopoldBloom no i don't care about politics. votes dont count look at the last election as an example no vote ever counted.
B. some blame biden for the vaccine but its trump who started it.they are both at fault
@SexyLesGirl13 Actually, I give Trump credit for at least getting the ball rolling.

If you don't want the vaccine, don't have it, but don't stand in the way of people who do want it. I occasionally work with a farmworkers rights group here, and they told me that some anti-vax Nazi fuckhead was trying to disrupt an event where they were vaccinating a bunch of farmworkers. They had to call the police to get rid of the person.
@LeopoldBloom a lot of sheep i know took it. i have no problem w/ those who want it. i just tell them the research if they still want to harm themselves not my problem. the big problem is vaccine shedding
@SexyLesGirl13 "Vaccine shedding" isn't a thing.

Face it, you're a coward who's afraid of getting jabbed, so you're buying into this bullshit conspiracy theory.

If you're afraid of "vaccine shedding," I suggest that you isolate yourself in your home and wear a mask when you're in contact with other people.
@LeopoldBloom "Face it, you're a coward who's afraid of getting jabbed, <<so you're buying into this bullshit conspiracy theory."

A coward is someone scared to have courage to stand for anything so you follow the crowd like a dumb sheep" the coward is you.

i never wore a mask never will. the mask do not work. it does not block micro particles sheep.

" I suggest that you isolate yourself in your home and wear a mask when you're in contact with other people." i suggest you do research and stop trying to make other follow your scamdemic narrative.

WHAT IS IN THE VACCINE?
@SexyLesGirl13 I admit that I'm more afraid of COVID, which is a real disease that has killed several million people worldwide, than I am of the vaccine against it.

Since you ask, the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines use mRNA technology, which has been in development for around 20 years. The Johnson & Johnson vaccine uses the more conventional method of weakened or dead viruses. Both methods activate your immune system, training it to neutralize live COVID viruses if you encounter any later. The mRNA method is more effective and is cheaper and easier to produce, so it's likely that other vaccines like MMR and polio will use mRNA technology in the future. mRNA uses the specific viral markers to train your immune system, rather than the virus itself.

There is no such thing as "virus shedding." Avoiding the vaccine or vaccinated people for that reason is like avoiding them because you think they're possessed by demons or will turn into vampires or werewolves. So you're not just a coward; you're afraid of things that aren't even real. But if you think "virus shedding" is a threat, you can avoid exposure by quarantining yourself. Other people are going to be vaccinated and you will just have to accept that.
@LeopoldBloom OK LETSME TAKE YOUR POST APART"The Johnson & Johnson vaccine uses the more conventional method of weakened or dead viruses. Both methods activate your immune system, training it to neutralize live COVID viruses" hello sheep the covid-19 virus have never been isolated. its never been found. so train your body against what?

are you sure what you said about mRNA vaccines is all there is? so i must trust someone messing with my genes to make you sheep feel safe? covid 19 is just the flu. any doctor will tell you covid is flu covid 19 virus again has never been found.
i will never get the vaccine and do research your knowledge is lacking.


the vaccine not virus https://www.naturalnews.com/2021-05-21-christiane-northrup-explains-risks-covid-vaccine-shedding.html

take Johnson & Johnson their baby power cause cancer. they have been in court so much its shocking. i must trust known killers with a vaccine?
YOU ARE CORRECT I AM AFRAID OF TRUSTING KNOWN KILLERS.

there is a 97%+ of surviving it[pretending its real) it does not affect kids yet they want to inject kids why?

WHEN will the testing for Pfizer and Moderna, Johnson & Johnson etc end?
@SexyLesGirl13 For someone so concerned with health you don't seem to care about your brain damage.
@canusernamebemyusername how pathetic are you? you can't disprove anything i said so you go to less then childish insults. bravo
