Really not sure how to quantify/qualify the effects of the measure taken. A couple of friends had small businesses that went under. I don't know to what extent child development was stunted from going to remote learning. Who knows what effects extensive mask wearing will have, but I've had respiratory issues since.
The jab is a little easier to understand. The bigger problem I have is the narrative that the vaccine is not responsible for the adverse events showing up suddenly.
I’ve had 2 Covid deaths in my circle. The other category is broad, because I have seen damaged relationships, my kids may have some emotional effects, etc.
@trollslayer The insanity of the matter has to do with the FACT that if your vax worked you don't have to worry about getting the disease you are vaxed against. If you are still worried about getting the illness then you do not believe you are vaxed. So if you are not vaxed even though you are fully jabbed why do you insist someone else get jabbed with the same useless junk you were jabbed with?
@hippyjoe1955 Agreed. I've been vaxxed, and after that I felt comfortable visiting immunocompromised people in my circle so long as those people were okay with it. To my knowledge, I have not had Covid and if I have the symptoms were no more than a headache and congestion. After the second shot, I have no issues going places unmasked unless a mask was required by that establishment. My logic is exactly as you describe. If I don't believe the vax helped me enough to not wear a mask or required me to stay at home, why did I get the vax? I'm currently dealing with this now - they want us to work from home this week because of 3 positive covid tests after a holiday party (that I was not at). Most people still work from home most days anyway because they are allowed and don't want to commute. I am pretty comfortable that I can go to work, hang out in my own cube like I normally do, not go out to lunch with coworkers, and not get Covid. That's why I got the vax.
@trollslayer I have never isolated or masked. I had covid. It was a very mlld cold. I had a few nights of good sleep and never missed a day's work. I have never had a problem being with others vaxed or unvaxed. It never enters my mind to even ask. I was talking to two great grandparents yesterday who were very sad that their daughter refused to come visit because the elderly couple were unvaxed. The daughter was vaxed and the couple had no trouble with her coming to visit. Strange behavior for some who is also a health professional.
@hippyjoe1955 Have you seen the documentary Died Suddenly? That is the TIPPITY TIP of the iceberg of the issues with these "vaccines" which PERMANENTLY alter your DNA so that you're no longer fully human
