Avoiding Vaccine Conversations?

What is your favorite response to avoid answering about your vaccine status? I do not intend to receive the COVID-19 “vaccine,” for a variety of reasons. In a time of vaccine passports, and when I am asked about my vax status by colleagues and acquaintances on a routine basis (so far only in passing casual conversation), I would like to come up with a few responses. Preferably responses that avoid the issue, avoid publicity and controversy, avoid unnecessarily straining relationships.

I doubt our USA Government will mandate vaccination, but other countries might, and private property owners (e.g., businesses) might. That will be a deal-breaker for me. In the meantime, just for avoiding vaccine conflict in casual conversation (even direct interrogation), what are your favorite retorts?

    The face diaper bothers me even more because it is a HUGE compliance signal. I am a rebel by nature but if I want to go into THAT store (down here in Texas, almost all of them) it's a face diaper for me.

    Yes ... getting vaxxed ... like they have done something significant. It is much like the muzzle / face diaper ... donning this thing and ambling about as though they are doing something.

    I appreciate your thoughts. They strike me as very wise.

    “I am being proactive to protect myself and others.” I will add this to my arsenal.

    There's a lot of truth to that. FWIW...I know an 11-year old girl who wasn't ever vaccinated and has never been sick. Ever. Mull that over...

    LOL... Yeah, everybody seems to want to announce they are vaxxed for this. I joke with my family I'm going to say "I got my prostate checked today!!!" in response.

    Does your Experimental (EUA) vaccination contain MRC 5? (Aborted Fetal Tissue), they all do so they can stick it in their own ass.

    Why to avoid this conversation may be more important than how. Many will ask each having their own motivation to know what your answer is. Even those who may be earnest in believing that they are saving the world by being subservient can be dangerous.
    It isn't the police who will detain and destroy you that are the most dangerous. It is those who believe that participating in control and ensuring directed behavior that they are saving the world, they will turn you into the 'authorities' who claim the right to control you that need to be misdirected.
    It is the masses that acquiesce their power to the state that gives those amoral authorities the power they crave. If the majority would simply refuse to obey they couldn't be controlled by the enslavers. In order for dictators to have power people must willingly submit.
    My oldest daughter got Covid19 and had a difficult time. I was in the hospital and I got the disease from her. My experience was that it was a mild cold like disease. I take vitamin D, C and other supplements that strengthen my immune system. I do not wear a mask. I go outside and do physical work. (I am old, 72.)
    There are many indicators that this disease is not to be feared, as with any disease, activity or behavior there is risk. Each individual must asses their situation and decide what tradeoff they are willing to make. If this disease were deadly then the government would have no right to make any decision for the people and what they should do. If the government acquires the power to force people at any time then it has the power to force people all of the time; and it will abuse it.
    Trust no politician no matter what their rank or professed interest in you. Their claims are tricks to get your support. Their behavior will reveal their contempt for you and your right to own yourself.
    My answer; "I am doing everything that will protect myself and others." I do not elaborate what that is.
    Sometimes as you have discussions with others you will find some who are like you and a worthwhile conversation may ensue and the opportunity to teach or learn will occur. Don't give someone a reason to deliver you to the 'authorities'.

    Like carrying papers you see in old movies. If this bothers you, you should try talking about abortion in San Francisco. Very open minded conversations on that topic.

    I've been saying, given that it's experimental and not actually approved by the FDA, I am choosing not to get it at this time. Will I ever? Probably not, but no one has had a response/retort to that.

    nonsecretor, you do not secrete the antigens characteristic of the A, B or AB blood groups. Good answer likely to sound official and most won't know what the hell you talking about.

    I have a great answer. Dont tell me what to do, and I wont tell YOU what to do. Shuts liberals up right away in my experience.

    I took the vaccine, as I mistakenly thought that 94% immunity meant I didnt have to endure the mask and social distancing, none of which offers 94% immunity from infection. Unfortunately, the government is lying and making me do the mask and social distancing anyway. Pretty stupid.
    If told by another person to weak a mask, I will tell them this and NOT put the mask on anyway.

    Correct you are! I had Covid in January. Plus my other 4 viruses over the years. My doctor said I should donate blood so people could be vaccinated.I don't wanna do that. My blood is very expensive why should I donate it? Only 15% of the population of the world have my blood type.

    IF you pass the antibody test you shouldn't need a vaccination. Your own body does a pretty good job of defense all by itself. I will agree that some people have weakened immune systems and need help.
    Agree with him or not, I still like Keven Hearts phrase, "I had the "Vid"!".

    I like the phrase, "My freedom trumps your feelings"!
    Not meant to refer to President Trump, but the poker game meaning. You could start off by asking them if they know what trump means in poker, than say the phrase. That way at least you set the tone and implied meaning.

    I will wait for an FDA approved vaccine. That usually works.

    I am flying from Texas to Massachusetts on the 30th and have been told that I need a vaccine at least 14 days prior or a COVID test no more than 72 hours prior. I have asked them how this helps me.
    If I get the test then I am providing protection for others against me carrying the virus onto the plane. But if they are allowing untested people with a vaccination on board that does nothing to protect me against them bringing the virus on board. Even the vaccine manufacturers do not claim that it prevents you from catching or spreading COVID.

    I ask them which one they recommend and why. Then I tell them I will read up on it and will make a decision based on the risk/reward.
