You have no IDEA if there would have been any difference.
You only know what they tell you to think.

Not just stupid. Also selfish and obstinate. And people will die because of their selfishness.

FWIW, and you either know this or you should, cloth masks do not STOP the virus. They stop some of it, however. And good masks, using paper, stop much more of the virus. If you still think masks do nothing, then your engineer brain is not in use on this issue.

Last I heard (which admittedly was before Omicron), natural immunity was not stronger than vaccination and also natural immunity dropped off at a considerably faster rate over time.

With Omicron, we are seeing that the vaccines are nearly useless in preventing infection but that they have considerable efficacy in preventing serious illness. More so than natural immunity.

Perhaps you should consider getting your news from other websites.

Maybe you should put an elephant in your avatar - you know - to really mess with everyone' mind.....:p

To be fair, if you're going to fix something for someone it should be factual. The fact is, vaccinated people still have a lower occurrence of hospitalization due to the virus. They also enjoy a lower death rate from the virus. They sill clear the virus faster than unvaccinated people. And now recent studies show that they're less prone to "long covid" than unvaccinated people.

So I guess nothing was really fixed.

I’d appreciate it if you or the mods would delete this. I don’t like my words being changed. That’s a weird pathetic move.

Lol. I made that avatar years ago when I hung out in the R1100S/R1200S forum. We nicknamed the R1100S a donkey bike.

I wish my knees would allow me to ride a 1100s or 1200s. I’ve owned both, not anymore.

The vaccine
 

Well the numbers back up the fact that I have a better chance of not becoming seriously Ill from this virus due to taking the vaccine. Those are the facts. Thanks for editing your post.

Done.

He fixed it as well.

Best.

That is actually the opposite of what is the case, in both instances.

That all depends. If you only believe that everyone is out to get you, you might not have any idea what to believe. If you believe what the majority of information from any highly vaccinated country confirms, you'd know exactly what to believe... that vaccines help reduce the severity of the virus, help prevent hospitalization, and reduce the number of deaths versus unvaccinated people.

You have to be a special brand of brainwashed cult moron to still believe the vaccine does not work.

I don't think everybody is out to get me.
And i definitely don't know what to believe.
I am bombarded by propaganda from all directions.
The only thing I know for sure is that I will never know.
Anyone who thinks they know is gullible.

You heard wrong.

It is, and has been, a well established fact that natural immunity to a virus is superior to a vaccine, not to mention these gene therapy, not a real vaccine, jabs. You will not read this anywhere, because these vaccines offer better protection than every other vaccine ever produced.

Let's see your documentation. I'm not interested in taking your word for it. I'd especially like to see what you have on "gene therapy."

Thanks

You said Scott has no idea if the shot made a difference. He does have an idea. Like I said, every study from every highly vaccinated country shows the same thing, that vaccinated people tend to have less severe disease, a lower death rate than unvaccinated people, and now a lower risk of suffering from long covid. I know that when the information all tends to point to the same thing, I'm as close to certain as I can possibly be.

This is true; the volume of hogwash from extremists from both sides is pretty amazing (the various COVID threads in PARF are prime examples) and really only useful for some laughs.

I like to argue. It’s obvious judging by my post history. I am sick and tired of arguing about the vaccine. I can admit that it’s not perfect. I can admit that it’s not a vaccine in the sense of the term. I can admit that I was wrong about trusting politicians when it came to how to approach the pandemic when it pertains to economic shutdowns and mandates. I think we’ve done a terrible job as a country and the numbers back it up. I’m sitting at home dealing with the virus currently. I’ve been pretty sick. Not go to the ER sick but walking to the mailbox and back is a task sick. It’s my belief that I’m better off today because I took the vaccine and got my booster. I really think if I did nothing this thing could have gone sideways on me. That’s me, if the vaccine isn’t for you and you want to roll the dice with other treatments, you do you. I’m done worrying about people other than the ones closest to me. [emoji3577]

Congrats Scott, you have achieved enlightenment.
