Ah wonderful. The next hot new variant is here for the media and health “experts” to fearmonger over. When are people gonna realize that until they tune out all the doomsday prognosticators, this will never end? The people that tell us to be afraid are never going to tell us it is safe. Ever. Covid and all its spooky variants are here forever. Get your vaccine and be done. Life is way, way too short to cower away in…

I seriously doubt this is correct. Covid has 3 protein markers. After you get infected your antibodies will continue to recognise all three. However the vaccines don't have all three, so the antibodies generated are not as all encompassing as they would be if you contracted Covid. Therefore, if it doesn't kill you, having Covid puts you in a better position to fight off variants. At least that's how I understand it f…

We’ve got one vaccine that’s been blacklisted due to high prevalence of blood clots. We’ve got another made by a company that’s been embroiled in a 4-decade long controversy over asbestos in baby talcum powder that only recently issued a recall, denying it all the way and claiming it’s safe. I assure you, Zuck isn’t needed for any negativity here. These companies are awful and they’re not to be trusted. Period.
> We’ve got one vaccine that’s been blacklisted due to high prevalence of blood clots. The risk of getting a blood clot from the J&J vaccine is 400,000:1. This is less likely than dying of COVID in any age category. 0.00025%. The risk of dying in a car accident in America is 0.01% every year. So you're 40X more likely to die in a car accident this year alone than get a serious blood clot from the J&J vaccine. The ris…
It’s an experimental vaccine that hasn’t even been out for a year mate. Use some better judgement.
“Oh but it prevents covid” - yeah and that powder helped with the rash too I’m sure.

Yeah you’re putting your faith in a company whose talcum powder has been causing cancer for decades and saying “it doesn’t kill you it’s not that bad” It’s an experimental vaccine that hasn’t even been out for a year mate. Use some better judgement. “Oh but it prevents covid” - yeah and that powder helped with the rash too I’m sure.
No, I'm putting my faith in the CDC and VAERS, and an incredibly twitchy public willing to report absolutely anything and everything, in no small part because folks like you freak them out.
> It’s an experimental vaccine that hasn’t even been out for a year mate. Use some better judgement.
Yeah, it's been administered billions of times. Most "experimental" vaccines are given to around 1000 people total. This is like aspartame now - one of the most studied vaccines on earth.
> “Oh but it prevents covid” - yeah and that powder helped with the rash too I’m sure.
This could not be less relevant.
Just wait until you learn what Bayer did during WWII as part of IG Farben. I'm pretty sure they had a Nuremberg trial about it. And yet we still take Aspirin. I suggest you stick to one thing at a time.

#45This won't be "over" until we go through the entire Greek alphabet?
It won't be over until we stop caring, accept the risk, and move on with our statistically slightly shorter lives.
There is a shadow pandemic of untreated, unacknowledged mental illness caused by the non stop fearmongering.

They got a liability waiver for the vaccines, no need to be concerned

There is a big public health motivation (completely understandable) for why they don't talk much about natural immunity.
A lot of people, my lovable but dumb as a rock sister included, who had some symptoms after socializing with people who end up testing positive, who never got the test themselves. They just assume they were infected. We definitely don't want these people to skip the vaccines. But again, managing the behavior of morons is a separate activity from determining the actual truth of the matter.

When everyone vaccinates
There is literally nothing more you can do. The vaccines we have are the end of the road. The goalposts cannot ethically or morally be moved any further no matter what all these politicians and health “experts” say.

> Not a single word about natural immunity. There’s major, major hesitance to giving natural immunity any credibility. The reason for that is an exercise left up to the reader.
Because the virus is dangerous. If you have the choice of getting immunity though a vaccine or by catching the virus, you should pick the vaccine. The whole point of immunity is not to get infected/sick in the first place. Getting infected so that you can become immune makes no sense at all.
Re: SARS-CoV-2 Lambda variant exhibits higher infectivity and immune resistance
#50Interesting that they only studied vaccine-induced immunity. Not a single word about natural immunity.
