Poll: how many regret taking the vaccine

Poll - Total Votes: 133

I took it and I regret it

I took it and I don't regret it

You can only vote on one answer.

It's clear by now that the vaccine doesn't work, was a scam, and causes lots of health issues

Did you take it because you drank the liberal Kool aid?

I think it a bit of an oversimplification that " they drink the liberal Kool-Aid "
I know several conservatives in my church who took all the shots and boosters and they are not dead, and as of yet ,have suffered no ill effects from the shots.
My husband had to get the shots because he's a CNA ;he's had all but one booster and he has not gotten sick even though I have got covid.
Again, he had no sickness or ill effects.
This is what I have experienced.
I don't say this for any political or conspiracy reasons.
How effective they are I do not know, but having known several people have had them and have not had any problems with it I really don't think it's poison, this is my opinion ,please don't argue with me you can believe what you want ,it's not up to me to persuade anyone or tell them what to do with their own body, but I will tell the truth by my own experience.
By the way, I was on the fence for a long time about these shots and I was not vaccinated.
When I see my doctor in September I will probably start getting them.

@Justmeraeagain I know the anti-science trolls/bots will attack me, but, you sound reasonable if you are interested, and willing to review, look at the truly scientific journals and decide what is likely to be scientifically sound. This should be about science, not, anecdotes. I read JAMA, NEJM, Pediatrics, Annals of Emergency Medicine, CDC's MMWR, and many blogs that feed information about COVID regularly. They all seem to agree about the science of COVID.

What is particularly alarming, regardless of anyone's beliefs about what may be behind the numbers, is that it is clear from universal data, that total deaths have a increased. The overwhelming evidence is that they were caused by m covid-reoated causes. If anyone has a better explanation, they certainly have not published shed such in any reputable scientific journal.

@samueltyler2 I wanted to see how it would be it with those who first got the shots and I have seen it.
I'm not sure I could read all of that as I'm not very skilled in reading scientific jargon ,but I know that scientists and doctors are capable of reading it and have made decisions on a scientific basis.
I believe this covid is something we cannot fully understand and it does bring a lot of fear on both sides.
I have not personally seen one person who's got the shot die from it or have any ill effects this is my experience.

@Justmeraeagain okay, I just try to be the voice of reason here.

@samueltyler2
I am not doubting anything that you have said .
I really was a bit concerned at first about the shots,but I see no reason to be now.
As far as a conspiracy is concerned the more people that have to keep a secret the less likely that the conspiracy is going to work. I think people should sit back and think how many people would have to be involved and keep quiet for all of the unsubstantiated horror stories to be true.
At first the Johnson & Johnson did have some problems? I'm not sure where that one stands now?
But we did have three choices.

@Justmeraeagain Thank you for your reasonable approach to covid.

The J&J vaccine had some initial problems reported with blood clotting. I believe there were six instances reported our of seven million vaccinations. I'm not sure what the current status is--I haven't checked because the majority of people are receiving the Moderna or Pfizer vaccines in the US.

@windinhishair It is difficult for people to understand what it means to compare events that may have occurred after any intervention, and what happens randomly without that intervention, regardless if it is a vaccine or something else.

@samueltyler2 That's true, which is why it is incumbent for people to rely on the advice of medical professionals for medical decisions. I had a good example of that less than two hours ago. During a routine physical, I asked my primary care doctor about a medication I have been taking and suggested discontinuing because the underlying reason for taking it was marginal. He explained that there were additional, clinical reasons for taking it that I was unaware of, and gave me some articles to read if I was interested. Had I only researched the use of this particular medication, and knowing my personal medical history, I would have stopped taking it. However, the additional advice he provided shifted me from stopping it to continuing.
