Why get vaccinated?

So far during my life time, people have been vaccinated in order to avoid getting a disease – polio, measles, etc. After we were vaccinated, we didn’t have to worry about getting that disease.

So I have to ask, what is the purpose of the Covid vaccine? If it is in fact a legitimate vaccine, once you are vaccinated, you should be immune and if not why get the vaccine at all? If you are immune, why would you care if I get the vaccine?

    Now the CDC (communist doctors consortium) recommends that fully vaccinated humans should wear masks indoors and outdoors. If that is the case why did I get vaccinated? These people need to stop scaring the people!!!

    I have heard (but cannot verify) that, while the COVID-vaccine does not guarantee immunity, it lessens the severity of the disease if the person gets it. Whether that is true, I do not know.

    No doctor necessary if you get it from India where most of this stuff is made. 100, 200 and 300 packs of HCQ, Ivermec, Doxy, Azith and lots of other non painkiller stuff shipped to your door. Put this in one word with a dot com on the end, well erectile and search the site.

    I realized today that knowing the truth about vaccines is a lot like knowing who shot JFK. Do you spill the beans and face the consequences (ala Jack Ruby) or do you keep it to yourself? Hmmm?...

    Vaxes are never perfect. Fivedollargold cares about others getting Covid-19 vax because pandemic rules are a major annoyance to him. Some might call this a selfish attitude. Fivedollargold considers unvaxinated people with Covid-19 interfererers with his productivity. He makes allowance for peeps under 30 who should probably skip the 2nd jab.

    Very good points. And now they are saying that the current vaccines dont keep you from getting covid , but just tend to lessen the severity of it to a degree IF you get it. And obviously its not considered as effective as a mask, or the power brokers wouldnt want us to continue with the mask charade.
    I waited months before I got it to see what was happening with side effects. Seemed pretty safe, so I took the plunge in march 2020, as I suspected that as time went on the virus would become stronger and more agile. So far, people around me vaccinated and not vaccinated have contracted it, but I have been spared.

    I stayed away from large crowds in small spaces like elevators, night clubs, etc. Tried to keep my immune system up, and pretty much stayed away from other people unless necessary. Worked so far even before getting vaxxed, so I dont know if the vaccine really helped.

    Good attitude. Here in The Gulch I've already admitted taking it due to being an overweight aged 74 Type 2 diabetic (that disease crippled a foot) in the risk group that Covid-19 can kill.
    I spent much time studying the risks, contemplated the possibility of side effects and spoke to a doctor I trust who recommended I take the shot (actually two of Moderna). So did a concerned daughter-in-law who is a nurse. Should my decision backfire, all I can say is what the Scorpion King said before he became one in that movie, "Live free and die well."
    Me dino respects anyone's free will decision to take it, not to take it or like gharkness to just tell people it's none of their business if they so want.
    No government entity has any any right to force anyone to do anything in regard to their medical privacy.
    IMO, physically fit people, young people and most especially children should not be vaccinated or forced to wear masks.
    I no longer wear a mask. To hell with that. Took what I thought was my best shot at the time. Get it? Ha! Ha! Live free and die well.

    Well, first, like they said... This is NOT a vaccine. This is an experimental drug alternative to real vaccines. (Look it up, this is a computer generated piece of biology to cause your body to make antibodies to an actual virus, this is NOT considered a vaccine by the pre-2019 definition)!

    Second, your point about why care about my status has been the case for DECADES.
    If you are protected, AWESOME, leave me alone.

    But they can't.
    It's about power, control, and profit. That's it!

    IF I get vaccinated, I do it for me. I don't do it for you. Altruism sucks

    Those who were ahead stocked up on HCQ, Azithromycin, Zikn, D3 and Ivermectin. Those, Elites, profiting from the Vax can't stand these cheap drugs and have made many of them illegal. The amount of false info being portrayed by the MSM is simply astounding.

    And....you really don't have to justify it. Just like those who don't take it owe no one an explanation.

    I take it a bit further and refuse to divulge my "vaccine status" to anyone that isn't within my immediate family. And I make no excuses about that either.

    Regarding the masks, the CDC and NIH databases actually have about 16 papers on the non-efficacy of masks. One of my favorites was a study involving over 2000 medical personnel and the flu. 1/3 represented the control group: no masks. 1/3 wore "surgical" masks (the blue ones commonly found in hospitals). The last 1/3 wore common cloth masks. There was no difference in infection rates between those who had no mask and those who wore surgical masks. What was very interesting, however, was that those who wore the common cotton masks had a 10% higher infection rate than those who wore no masks.

    As a confirmation to this, the Blaze published a study done which looked at infection rates by county throughout the entire United States and compared the counties according to whether or not they had a mask mandate in place. Those who had a mask mandate had a 10% HIGHER incidence of COVID infections.

    (This doesn't even cover the decreased oxygen levels in those who wear masks - up to 20% decrease in even common cotton masks.)

    The BIG LIE or CON is the concept that those who are old and or disabled should get the non-vax over younger, more so called healthy (also a con) is the greatest lie as those are the ones who will die right away. Those who believe in the fallacy of taking care of our old and disabled first have bought in to the LIE!

    EXACTLY! I have been having this argument with every left wing, propaganda spewing, fascist I talk to. It shouldn't matter to them but they are absolutely crazed.

    To be fair....there is one good reason I can think of. Google “Leaky Vaccines” and how it relates to culling poultry flocks. Now connect the dots. These are indeed “Leaky” vaccines. And the powers, that shouldn’t be, see us as livestock. Accept those assertions as true.
    Now wargame out the scenario.
    As always, your choice is your choice. No coercion intended. And there is no way of knowing the possible long term effects.
    And keep in mind that even using the CDCs numbers. SARS-COV2 ver 1.0 has AT WORST a 2% mortality. I’ve lost 2 close friends to this. So, I’m not downplaying the disease. It’s REAL. But, I feel it’s not as prevalent as the fear mongering would have us believe. The truth, as usual, is somewhere in the middle.
    It’s a personal choice that should NEVER be coerced.

    If you're old, weak, have other serious health issues that may render you at much higher risk you should consider it. If none of those things are factors, why bother? I could ramble through my background to try to legitimize my point but...also, why bother? People with zero knowledge about this are willing to have the government take others' rights away over this. We've slipped over the slippery slope, I think. Remember the old saying, "There is no free lunch"? Well, that applies to vaccines and most pharmaceuticals, really. Nobody on this forum has sufficient knowledge of the risks with this vaccine UNLESS they studied the VAERS data and applied that accordingly (just for starters. Most can't tell you what's in the vaccines). Then, they'd have some idea of the risks. Then, they might be able to make an informed risk/reward analysis and decide.

    My son was permanently disabled by vaccines. My dad would have been alive today had he not taken every vaccine he could get his hands on. One close friend lost her son at 16 due to complications of a flu shot (who'd have thunk that?) and another friend's son will spend his life in a wheelchair as a paraplegic due to a reaction to vaccination as a child. These victims are nameless, faceless to most because the MSM will repeatedly lie to you about the risks. The vaccine locomotive is barreling down the tracks now and I don't see it getting stopped. I hope I'm wrong - But, the question as to "why" get vaccinated is close to be a moot point...You're going to get vaccinated...
