I wonder what percentage of WoW players got fully vaccinated?

No, seriously you are 100% wrong. You are NOT making dangerous proteins. Not at all.

And you feel crappy because the immune response to an “invader” even a harmless one, makes you tired, achy, etc. Have you never had a basic illness before or looked up what a normal healthy immune response is?

Got my second dose back in Feburary. I was face to face on the daily with Covid patients, so you bet yer behind I got it as soon as our facility got doses to distribute.

A vaccine is cheap.

An aspirin in the hospital is expensive as hell. You know what makes money. Sick people. People who buy your medications, IVs, use hospital beds, intubation, etc.

You know who also got rich? Funeral services.

Research has shown that even though you are vaccinated you can still spread Covid 19 to others so that is why we’re still wearing masks, to protect those who are not yet vaccinated.

Oh, two doses of Moderna since last April here.

I am full up on Moderna.

Having said that, let’s not conflate this experiment to something like an actual vaccine that has the “bug” you’re protecting against. Smallpox, anthrax, typhoid, etc that Uncle Sam made me take in boot camp and before deploying to the middle east. I used to have my yellow card but I have probably lost it in a move. However, I can go online or to the VA and get a full record of all those if I ever needed it.

While it does make your immune system produce anti-bodies for the “bug” it is unlike anything I’ve(and probably most)have ever been vaccinated with before.

These “vaccines” 100% are the very first of their kind to be used on humans and there no long term studies of their effects. There was another drug that had widespread acceptance in Europe, all the scientific papers hailed it as safe and effective. It was called Thalidomide and it took just one person, who today would be labeled a conspiracy theorist, to stop it from ever reaching US shores. Take a look at the horrific damage it caused long term…

I will not experiment with my own body based on government consensus or peer pressure. I will wait for scientific evidence.

“You know who also got rich? Funeral services.”

And Big Pharmacy. That is not a secret that you can hide. BTW, last year total deaths in the US did not increase. So, no funeral services did not get rich

Yeah, it’s a new technology. mRNA vaccines have been theoretical since the 1970s (ish) but serious work started with the first SARS outbreak in 2003. And it’s due to that work that this vaccine (which is for the SARS-COV-2 virus) was able to be developed so quickly.

It’s really not as new as people think it is. It’s still astonishing that it came out so fast, don’t get me wrong, but it’s not like they started with a blank slate in 2020.

All three of the vaccines are the first of their kind to be used on humans. They have no FDA approval and we have no way to know what the long term effects are.

What we do have are massive amounts of statistics that tell us that the risk associated with catching the virus is very low for healthy individuals, especially the young. The world has lived with influenza and other disease for a long time without subjecting ourselves to draconian government practices or experimental drugs.

I do not fault you or anyone else for their decisions so long as there is at least an attempt to learn what the real risks are both for and against. And I trust I will be granted similar respect.

The focus on this virus is sometimes irrational when you have more people dying from murder, from heart disease, from cancer. Shouldn’t we be concentrating on the leading causes of death before getting down to this lower rung?

Or you move to a free state, like Florida.

It’s about power now, not about health.

They don’t care about stopping the other diseases because they make too much money off of them.

I do want to get vaccinated. It’s just my agoraphobia loves to just give me terrible panic attacks when I leave the apartment for too long.

So I stay inside most of the time. Still wearing masks and washing my hands a lot for the very very short times I am outside. Usually it’s to get stuff out of the car like groceries.

It’s not about the healthy people. It’s about those who have immunosuppressed systems. If I get COVID, there’s a 99% chance I’ll be fine.

But there’s a good chance that I might spread it to someone who won’t be fine.

Those are the ones who need the shot. Just like every year.

Then the compromised people should take the steps necessary to protect themselves.

Just like anything else.

I happily got the vaccine.

I’m not a fan of getting sick or getting others sick.
