I will admit I predicted bullshit too.
Wrong, obviously.

Yeah, I have to admit I under estimated the mortality of COVID as well. It seemed like so much media hype BS like pretty much everything these days. It also seems to be on its way to becoming a “permanently” circulating virus like colds and flu I’m sorry to say. I don’t think it will go, away vaccine or not, and we might be stuck with it. I do plan on getting vaccinated when I’m eligible for whatever good that does. Perhaps a yearly COVID shot along with the flu shot.

I don’t know what thread it was in but I wasn’t keen on getting vaccinated. I don’t have any exciting conspiracies or anything connected to it. I just feel so skeptical of everything. They’ve fucked up everything at every step but we’re supposed to just accept that here’s our happy ending. One which, normally requires 5-10 years of studies, tests, approvals, but got done in 8 months. Originally I was just gonna wait it out as long as I could, but I’m past that too. Fine, whatever, we all gotta get the shot if we wanna leave our houses and participate in life. Inject me with whatever you got as soon as possible so we can finally move on to the next fucked up thing…
You guys were all wrong…I strongly suggest you go and delete every post you’ve ever made on the site…

The way I’ve had it explained to me is that ^this actually isn’t right. I was under the same impression, but the reason it takes 5-10 years is because of the FDA’s approval line. The FDA can only look at so many new medications/vaccines a year, so the line is first come first serve and there’s currently a wait of literal years for new stuff.
The majority of new medications take roughly the same amount of time that this covid vaccine took, but because they have to wait in line for the FDA’s approval it takes years before it hits the market.
This shot was ushered to the front of the line for FDA’s review, therefore the years it would normally hav to wait were cut out.
Plus, the biologists were working on this before it came to be the problem it is now. So this vaccine and trials followed standard protocol.

Ahhh, that totally makes sense.
I’m still very skeptical and distrustful of EVERYTHING, but this gives me a marginally higher level of optimism, haha. Or at least it’ll help me sell this bullshit to my wife now that I’ve completely flip-flopped on our stance, haha.

I did as well, but kinda started to change my stance when green death pointed out my math was wrong, and then shortly after a number of infectious disease specialists came out making the claims instead of journalists hyping everything. I was still stubborn because of the way I was interpreting the dashboard numbers, But green death saying my math was wrong was pretty much the start of the turning point for me.
It’s a good strategy.
If you delete something it becomes official proof that it never happened.
Also, be sure to first let everyone know that you left forever. That way, it doesn’t make sense to accuse you of deleting stuff anyway. You can just be like, “Nah, Bro. I ain’t never said all that and I didn’t delete shit. I ain’t even here! Didn’t you hear me the first 100 times?”

A memory hole is any mechanism for the deliberate alteration or disappearance of inconvenient or embarrassing documents, photographs, transcripts or other records, such as from a or other archive, particularly as part of an attempt to give the impression that something never happened
I have an actual white lab coat scientist (Micro biology) in the family and she works in a lab in so cal. When the vaccine was first announced she was Anti and told me to avoid it because she was hearing the reports that they were cutting corners to get it out quickly but now that the literature is being published in peer reviewed journals she’s changed her mind after reading them and looking at the data. She said no corners were cut at all and that she’ll take it as well when it’s offered to her. So, that’s good enough for me.
Since I’m a teacher I get to get it in the first round or whatever. So my appointment is monday a t 12:15
Looks like the Pfizer is the one to get. It has the least amount of people reporting side effects. Looks like “headache the next day” has pretty much been it, not counting soreness at the injection site.
I’ve seen a few articles claiming it lasts only 3 months and others saying maybe 6 months. but those articles are few and far between and they ended up at the end of the article saying we just don’t know
I’m going to get the COVID-19 shot, but I have… conditions. They all stem from my terror of needles. I know needles aren’t so bad, and I’ve survived them before, but the anticipatory terror is debilitating. Given a choice between a punch in the gut and a needle, I’ll take the gut punch any time.
So, to my conditions:
-
Johnson & Johnson, Johnson & Johnson, Johnson & Johnson. One shot. One recovery. Not only is the shot bad, but I know I’m lining up to get sick for a day, which makes it even harder. The thought of doing this twice is beyond the pale.
-
I’m waiting until there is no line to wait in. If I have to wait in line, I’m going to chicken out and go home. (This goes double for waiting in a car on line.)
-
I need someone to take me, because whoo boy, am I gonna down some Klonopin before going.
So. Those are my requirements. I figure July at the latest.
Damn that sucks, man!
so no psyching yourself, like telling yourself you’re just there to get a donut and turning away from when they stick ya?
God, I wish it were that easy. I can’t look at it – the constant footage of people getting injections has turned me off to CNN, possibly permanently – and so I drum my feet nervously and whimper. It’s unmanning. What can I do? A phobia is a phobia. I probably picked this one up from my pediatrician, whose bedside manner was, I’m convinced, learned at Bergen Belsen.
If history repeats, I’ll act like a superman for about two hours after getting the shot (“it was nothing, I could do this a 1000x, I’m a bronze God forged in the fires of fear, etc.”), and then the phobia will come back when it’s time for another shot.
Damn thats terrible. I wish you luck, sir.

I get this, but in reverse. I can watch myself get shot up with anything and be like “huh, that’s a thing,” but I cannot bear to watch my blood get drawn. Something about my essence going into a vial fucks me UP.
Everyone I know who has gotten the Moderna vaccine got absolutely crushed by the side effects but it’s better than getting the 'rona.
Can’t handle blood tests either. Can’t even look.
I hear this! I actually passed out the first time I had my blood drawn. So, yeah I don’t watch when I get my blood drawn.
Did this happen before or after you left the ship forever?
