New development methods doesn’t equal untested. It has a new mechanism of working, which had been in the works for ages. Now with the urgency, the testing was done really fast and thoroughly.
I think it’s not about the time-frame but the similarity to the disoriented state of having just woke up, compounded with it being bizarro world. Which isn’t really fair to Dan Pirarro, since his comics usually make way more sense than the real world.
My mom has been bombarding me with this kind of thing for months, and I’m still a long way off from even being eligible for a vaccine. Nothing anyone says makes a difference, all that matters to her is being right.
I’m in the same boat regarding family. I’m qualified to get the vaccine because of my job (front-facing store worker), although appointments fill up too quickly here. My mom is exactly like that and insists I shouldn’t get it, that I’ve probably had corona already and don’t need it.
My mom is scientifically educated but has fallen down the conspiracy hole. She tried to explain to a nurse that the PCR tests (the covid testing gold standard) are 90% inaccurate. Did I mention she’s likely high risk for severe symptoms?
I had my first one on the tenth of March, and I get my second on the seventh of April. I’m just fine. I felt a bit hungover for two days, and my tinnitus flared up. That’s it. I get these same idiots, I refuse to talk to them. My Mother the crazy Trumpie even got hers.
I just found out there is now a thriving market in FAKE vaccine cards. People are paying $200 a pop for a card to “prove” they got a free vaccine. In the words of Hugo T Farnsworth “I don’t want to live on this planet anymore.
“I don’t want to live on this planet anymore” I feel this way every day, mostly about the US, but it seems as though ‘crazy’ is blooming all across the planet.
“Heard from who exactly?” would be my response. I’ll put my faith in the science and the results of millions of doses that have already been distributed safely. I guess that means I actually did my “research”. Alas, critical thinking is in short supply these days.
I know ppl who won’t get the AZ because of all the bad press about the side effects (affecting less than 1% of the population).. Why are people so much more concerned about the 1% chance of developing blood clots from the vaccine, but not the 1% chance of potentially life-threatening side effects of contracting COVID?
Yeah…. it’s not 1% chance of blood clot. Quoting the Atlantic quoting the New York Times quoting the relevant scientist: _____ Writing in The New York Times on March 22, Heidi Larson, the director of the Vaccine Confidence Project at the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine, noted that just 25 Europeans had developed blood clots, out of 20 million who received the AstraZeneca vaccine. That rate, she said, was lower than what you’d normally see among unvaccinated people. —–
25/20,000,000 is a little over one in a million. (0.000125%)
well here is the thing… yes we are in a clown world aright.. but let’s face it! if the vaccines are really dangerous, we can just die from them and be granted eternal peace! and if they weren’t really dangerous and it’s all just a case of hysteria, then might as well just take them! and face the mad world as mad as it is! i mean in both cases we win!
I have to wonder why people start these ridiculous conspiracy theories. Are they really that stupid and paranoid, or do they enjoy the idea of thousand of people dying from a preventable disease, or what? Should I buy into the conspiracy theory that it’s Russian/Chinese/North Korean/Whatever agents trying to disrupt capitalism and democracy?
Can we do contact tracing to find the people who originate this garbage and socially isolate them?

Just woke up?

This is how I feel… but I haven’t been contacted yet for the shot

Survival as winning. Why does that remind me of Charlie Sheen?
Kinda wish I could actually feel like that though.
I’m lucky my parents aren’t idiots who deny science. They’ve both gotten their vaccines.
