Vaccine......Yes or No?

[Ybeezy]

[D-Rog]

This is the part that sticks with me: “Might”.

They can’t say it “stops” it. Or am I missing something?

“COVID-19 vaccination helps protect people from getting sick or severely ill with COVID-19 and might also help protect people around them”

Don’t get me wrong, I’m pro Covid vaccines. I’m just pointing out facts.

If valid logic is stirring things up, then Im definitely your straw.

[ComicSpec]

Zero shits stirred here.

[TheRedCollar]

Valid logic, sure, but gun control isn’t what we are talking about here. Apples and oranges and this isn’t the topic for oranges

[jcLu]

Yeah, that was off topic…yet profoundly on point somehow.

I caught the 'rona last year from the hospital where my mother was having cancer surgery. The whole house got it, but it wasn’t terrible. I had a bad migraine for 2 days and then I was all better. The weird thing that has stuck with me is my loss of appetite. I lost 35lbs since last year which makes me almost normal body mass. I have to force myself to eat sometimes because I don’t get that hungry feeling as much as I did before.

Did you experience any lingering anosmia? (Loss of smell)

I’m just gonna say one more thing. If you don’t want to get vaccinated now or never, that’s your choice and freedom but the two way freedom street says don’t be offended when we vaccinated folks deny you entry to our parties.

Basically, this ain’t Burger King because you can’t always have it your way!

Is that quote from a peer reviewed medical journal? What is its source?

[D-Rog]

It’s a quote from the linked page of the CDC website @AngryMrBungle posted.

Vaccines are not meant to prevent a virus from existing, they are meant to provide your body a safe way of producing natural antibodies against covid, as to give your body the ammunition it needs to beat the covid virus if it where ever to enter your body naturally, before you get deathly ill.

Again, you really need to research this from peer reviewed papers. You seem to need some basic education on how vaccines work. I digress.

Viruses mostly need hosts to survive and transmit, by removing more viable human Petri dishes, you will reduce the chance of spread and mutations to more pathogenic strains that may evade our current targeting measures. Subsequently, the viral population continues to shrink and eventually get eradicated in the best case scenario, depending on it’s resilience outside the host.

If you don’t know who the author of the quote is, or where they got their information from, then the quote really shouldn’t hold any water with you until you know it’s source and have reviewed it yourself.
It very well could be a poor choice of word, written by their tech guy making the webpage.

My sense of smell stayed the same.

[D-Rog]

So where’s your source stating vaccines do more than prevent symptoms and vaccinated people cannot infect others?

I’m hoping that’s true…but I have yet to see one of these do more than prevent the body from developing a severe Covid reaction. I haven’t seen where it’s 100% confirmed, is all.

And you must’ve missed my previous reference.

@jcLu

What the 95% actually means is that vaccinated people had a 95% lower risk of getting COVID-19 compared with the control group participants, who weren’t vaccinated.

I feel like we’re just going through Semantics here.

Vaccine is really meant to fight off the severity of he infection. Whether you “have Covid” or not is somewhat irrelevant, unless they confirm asymptomatic vaccinated people are still spreading it.

COVID-19 vaccines: What does 95% efficacy actually mean?

It doesn’t mean 5% of vaccinated people get infected.

“ And none of the three vaccine trials looked at all for asymptomatic COVID-19. "All these efficacy numbers are protection from having symptoms, not protection from being infected , " Barker said. (Some early studies hint that the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines also reduce the number of viral particles in a person’s body, called viral load, and the likelihood of testing positive at all, which would cut transmission . Still, because we don’t yet know that for sure, people “can’t throw away their mask” once they’re vaccinated, Barker said.)”

Everyone here needs to relax. The subject was a simple yes/no and why question. SMH…

I am a gun owner and have never shot anyone. Not a Hunter but regularly shoot sporting clays. I like my hobbies.

[davidbitterbaum]

Vaccines, guns, I’m tempted to throw some other hot topic out here just to see what happens. I won’t though, I’m not a stinker. Usually.

[agentpoyo]

Shot anyone? No but shoot at people… Yes… You make me dance when I’m not “inline” with your rules. …

[agentpoyo]

Haha… True but you all know when “why” is asked its gonna open up the can of worms. Honestly it hasnt been that bad. Always attack the idea, not the person to keep the debates healthy and from getting too heated.

I’m not the one basing my decisions off of unknown authors. And I don’t claim to be an expert on the topic.

I’m not here to change your mind. I’m just giving you some ideas to help you make an informed decision. Use them at your leisure.
