    Vaccines were too successful, these dummies forgot what they were even for 😑

    My newborn is getting all their vax in 2 weeks, had to do an explanation for PTO so I’d be there for them. The first thing after I sent the request to my boss was, “have you looked into all the vaccines and how they affect them”. I just don’t understand why these proven vaccines are always in question

      It’s because these ‘so called experts’ are liars, sometimes. We thought Aristotle was right, until we found out he was wrong and a total removed. We thought the same of Galileo and Newton until they were proven liars and total removed. So how do we know these vaccine scientists aren’t liars and total removed. /S

    My GF and I were talking about vaccines and COVID, mainly doubts about them. We both got the vaccine pretty quick. A lot of the talk was about how a healthy skepticism of the profit driven US healthcare system leaves room for doubt. It’s not like the vaccine made us any less sick or prevented us from catching it, or transmitting it. So we were asking ourselves what was the point?

    Ultimately we landed at a pretty logical conclusion which is that the widespread vaccine seemed to ultimately drop the total COVID rate down and we seem to catch some variant of it similar to the flu once a year now. My sister works in healthcare and she usually knows when COVID is making the rounds. I don’t find myself leaning antivaxx. I am skeptical of the Trump and Biden administrations both though in the USA. It’s all too odd how willing people are to put their faith into the vaccine with literally zero doubts.

      It’s not odd at all that people are willing to take the vaccines. Hundreds of doctors and scientists have been involved in the process of determining how viruses work, how the body fights them how we can use that to improve the bodies response and then how to safely package that for delivery to every person in the country.

      There is no blind faith here except for that of doubters, just literal thousands of hours of dedication and science.

        So you’re telling me that a vaccine for a sickness with basically 1 year R&D to production turnaround time doesn’t cause you to think twice, when a regular prescription can have side effects and need to be changed?

        Think of any experience you’ve had with anti depressants or reoccurring drug as a prescription: it’s frequent that people have these changed out because of the adverse side effects or lack of effectiveness. The joke used to be that a commercial for medication would quickly read out side effects on TV for 20 seconds straight.

        What I’m saying is the complete lack of any critical thinking before taking the vaccine is disturbing.

          No because it came off of over a decade of research, the mRNA vaccine delivery had been in development for years, COVID is also a type of virus related to other viruses they had developed or were developing vaccines for.

          This was not some weekend project dumped out with no thought.
