May I ask why?

A friend of mine’s wife got the vaccine to take off work and went into a coma an hour later. When she woke up she had amnesia for 9 months. When she finally got better she killed herself. He’s now a single father.

While she had amnesia she was aweful to him and to her child. She refused to believe it was hers and that he cheated on her. When she recovered from the amnesia she remembered everything that she did and said during those 9 months and how she ended up in this situation. She didn’t want to live anymore.

Well medical trauma is real and I’m sure that knowing someone going through that would have affected me. However, if we were ever to meet in real life I would ask that you do not come near me as I am immunocompromised and could have severe complications if I were to get COVID.

You seriously wouldn’t even want to be next to me just because I didn’t get the Covid vaccine? Do you believe I would be more likely to get Covid?

Potentially. It is proven that those who have the vaccine are less likely to contract it (as that’s what vaccines are for). Not so much worried about the omicron variant, as it seems to have a much lower risk of complications but better safe than sorry. I’m confused as to why you are mad about my response… I respected your reason for not getting the vaccine yet you can’t respect my reason for not wanting to risk my health?

Ok so I’m just really surprised at the difference in “what we know or believe to be true” about the entire topic. You genuinely believe that I’m more likely to get covid or spread it because I didn’t get the vaccine. I have seen people suffer both immediate and long term effects from the vaccine and pretty much everything I have heard is that the vaccine was a massive mistake. The company that made the vaccine also has had a lot of legal trouble come from this as well.

Well I have seen extended family members die from COVID which may have been prevented had we made a widespread vaccine soon enough, as hospitalization rates and cases decreased after the vaccine became widespread. Also I’d say that just looking at the statistics, the death toll of the virus is much higher than the amount of adverse reactions had by people who got the vaccine.

I sympathized with you initially because knowing someone who had that severe of a reaction to the COVID vaccine is a terrible situation to be in and I would understand not wanting to get the vaccine after that. But the more you write, the more I think that your opinion is based off of something more political…

I hate politics and I avoid talking about it the best I can. I have friends on both sides and my parents could end up divorcing because of politics. My original decision was based on what I saw around me and what was happening. I did see family members die in hospitals from COVID. I also met nurses who had to get therapy because they felt responsible for people’s deaths because they got covid at the hospital. I worked on the respirators people used that kept them alive, but also killed them…

I also got Covid twice. It was a terrible flu and I ended up being alright after a few weeks. I worked through the shutdowns because of my job and almost nobody that I work with trusted the government and got the vaccine. I think maybe 2 people did get it and they still got sick.

Being infected with COVID is still possible after getting the vaccine, but the symptoms are reduced and it’s less likely to be contagious to others. Which is why the number of hospitalizations and deaths decreased after the vaccine came out. I would say that it is now similar to the flu after the more deadly variant began to die out a bit. Do you also abstain from the flu shot as well?

Additionally, hating to talk about politics is itself an interesting political stance… I’m assuming you don’t vote then? Also, saying that you based your decision on the people around you when you admit to only being around other conspiracy theorists who do not trust the government makes me think that your stance is quite biased. I would encourage you to fact check a lot of your statements via the scientific process instead of only listening to people who share your exact viewpoints.

I generally don’t need the flu shot. People around me get sick with the flu and it always skips me. Been like this since I was a teenager. So I just skip it. Nothing else behind that

I still vote. I just am not going to watch the news 24/7 or argue with people about topics we know nothing about or pretend we are experts. I’m over that shit. Calling them conspiracy theorists in 2026 is pretty crazy btw.

What’s crazy is saying you don’t like thinking or talking about politics and yet still voting. At that point, it’s unlikely you know what you’re talking about and are falling for political propaganda. It is important to be involved in our political system but just reading headlines does not count as being educated on the subject.

Also I’m pretty sure “I don’t trust the government” is a term coined by conspiracy theorists, so why is that crazy to say?

If you trust the government you’re literally just believing all the propaganda they want you to believe. Nobody should be trusting them at face value and if you think I’m wrong then you’re part of the problem

I don’t trust them at face value, as any politician’s main priority is gaining power. However when it comes to the government as a whole and the fact that we were facing a deadly worldwide pandemic, it is much smarter to believe that the government wouldn’t want our people to die, the GDP to collapse and our country to ultimately fail. Not to mention that the vaccine was cleared by the scientific process meaning that thousands of scientists worked on and performed numerous checks on the vaccine.

Healthy skepticism is good, but becomes a problem when it starts to harm other people. Anyone who chooses to perpetuate the issue of COVID by not getting the vaccine over baseless claims is a conspiracy theorist in my book.

You should get educated on what the US and CIA have been doing over the past 100 years or so. Eugenics programs both voluntary and involuntary, project mockingbird which took over the US media decades ago and continues today under a different name, and the FBI literally coined the term conspiracy theorist to suppress the influence leaks would have on the American people so they could continue whatever they were doing without repercussions.

Not sure what this has to do with the COVID vaccine… seems like we are getting off topic. I’m not surprised that the US is using propaganda to manipulate the people, as that’s basically what politics has turned into, but this has nothing to do with preventing a worldwide pandemic.

It has everything to do with the Covid vaccine! If the CIA has control over the media, then you get fed propaganda thinking it’s facts. If the US agrees that there’s too many unhealthy people and previously invested in eugenics programs, then you can’t trust what they’re investing in. If pharmaceutical companies frequently pay off scientists, then you can’t trust the results…

The scientific process has such a rigorous checks and balances system that it is highly unlikely that every single person involved in the creation of the vaccine could have been paid off. Additionally, I’m confused as to why contracting a potentially deadly disease could be worse than taking a vaccine backed up by science. Your risk assessment ability seems way off.

You can take two flu medications and it will do just as much if not more than the vaccine will do for me. Vaccine doesn’t keep you from getting sick it keeps you from dying. You’re not going to die if you’re already a healthy individual and the mortality rate is LOW. We also know more about the virus now which makes it even less lethal. I have no reason to get the vaccine that I have seen actually hurt the people around me first hand.

As I’ve already said, I don’t know if I could have died had I gotten COVID before receiving the vaccine but it was possible. And I have no problem with you not getting the vaccine for personal reasons so long as you don’t spread misinformation and stay away from me. Thank you.
