Why is there hesitancy to get the jab ?

Post Reply New Topic

I believe the COVID thing is real. My wife is a nurse----and she experienced this first-hand. She experienced many deaths from COVID in her nursing home.

I know a person who was shot dead; it took over a month for him to be cremated----because of all the COVID deaths.

Bodies were placed in refrigerator trucks, and many new graves were dug up in the municipal cemetery of NYC.

IT IS NOT ABOUT PERSONAL FREEDOM, OR THE LACK OF IT. IT'S ABOUT PUBLIC HEALTH. PLEASE GET THE VACCINE!

Not everything is a conspiracy!

Millions of people got the vaccine with minor symptoms. About 1 in a million people have had severe symptoms as a result of receiving all the types of COVID shots.

Most people I know who had the COVID vaccine of any type suffered unpleasant symptoms. My aunt got a lump come up somewhere under her arm which caused her to freak out because she thought she had breast cancer, turns out it was fluid that collected under her arm for some reason from the vaccine she'd recently had. Also she wasn't well after the vaccine, she had to take a couple of days off sick from work because she felt like she had some sort of flu.

Also almost everyone I know is taking holiday days from work when they have the vaccines because it seems more common to get ill from the side effects than to not have any side effects at all.

I know a woman who was ill for 4 days after her vaccine. She was so ill that she thought she had meningitis because the side effects she got felt like the symptoms of meningitis. But she saw her doctor and he said it's just severe reaction from the jab. And she actually had COVID a few months ago but wasn't as ill with it as she was after having the vaccine. With COVID all she had was some mild aches in her body - and she's 72 and has athsma.

They're already refusing to give younger people one of the vaccines because of the risk of blood clots.

You must realize that COVID is a random disease. One never knows who will get it severely, and who will get it mildly.

It causes mild disease in most-----but it causes enough severe disease and deaths for it to be taken seriously, and measures taken.

I know quite a few people who have gotten the vaccine----including my almost 87-year-old mother who is immunocompromised. I don't know of anybody who has had severe symptoms. Especially not as severe as even a mild case of COVID.

My 90-year old father got the vaccine. He uses a walker and, reportedly, has *no* heartbeat (he has severe valve problems which scare anyone who listens to his heart with a stethoscope...they say he has no heartbeat, the blood is just sloshing around in there).

I can't tell you which vaccine he got. He was so disinterested he didn't pay attention to that.

Just curious... Anyone here believes that their autism was caused by a vaccine?
(Sarcasm alert)

I suspect my autism may have been triggered by a vaccination, but that's not why Im passing on the Covid Vax.


I followed the hcq controversy. for one thing. And Im not a Trumper wtf lol

the genocide/torture of Seniors and Learning disabled usually only being mentioned to shill vax with outrageously deceptive stats is a big one.

but I want to see the Melvins, and I probably cant try Track Racing my bike now unvaxxed, so I was considering it,

but then I saw this.. https://www.counterhate.com/

that's what my narcissistic family does, uses the hate label way too liberally, and thats the final straw, ill go hang out with the so called gramma killers




If people say Im killing gramma ill tell them I can't because Coumo already did, but regardless Ill go live in the woods to give their tiny little minds peace.

two words....blood clots

I'm hesitant to get jabbed because I'm still ill from COVID =/
At the very least, I wish doctors could agree on whether or not Long Haulers need one shot or two.
But my friends decided we could try some in-person hangouts if we all get vaccinated, so I will probably risk it.

But did you look in the rabbit hole???


You have a higher chance of getting hit by a car on your way home from getting vaccinated than you do of getting blood clots.
Just tell them you don't want AZ.

There is a small percentage of people that may be better off not getting the vaccine. This is something that should be determined by a DR. that is aware of their medical history and allergies.

There are a lot of people that plain just don't want to get it though. Fear is the predominate reason, but most of the time that fear is based on a lack of proper information. I can understand it to a point. There was a fair amount of confusion about Covid19 and preventive measures and the like. That took a bit of a toll on people faith/belief in what is being handed out for information.

Then some people are just stupid to be honest (this also has to do with a lack of information but these people also have no interest in it)

I know of One person that had a bad allergic reaction and won't (was advised to him)be getting a second shot. My mother was really tired; then later that night she woke up with that feeling you get when you're coming down with the flu. She took some Advil and went back to bed. She felt junky the next day but not enough to keep her in bed or anything. Everyone else I know had less symptoms than that.

I get my second shot this week. For the first one, my arm was just sore. *shrugs*


Truth. Actually according to a Oxford study, you're more likely to get a blood clot from having Covid19 than from the vaccine.

The over 50s have no choice here.
It's AstraZeneca or nothing.

Well, yeah =)
Isn't chance of blood clots from COVID something like 100%?
My info on that is quite a bit out of date, but last I knew they were hardcore recommending daily low-dose aspirin.


Really? I thought they were advising older folks not to get the AZ?
Do I have my vaccines mixed up?

Went looking and found this, https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/951852

Because gullible people fell for conspiracy theories & lies from their orange cult leader.

Also, I've never heard the phrase "star jumps," before. I assume they're what we call "jumping jacks," over here.

Same here. AZ is only allowed for people over 50, but those people don't have to do AZ. They can have Pf or Moderna depending where they book. We don't do JJ.

I believe if you have preexisting conditions or an autoimmune disorder, you can get a note from your doctor to specify against AZ. My daughter isn't over 50 but her Nephrologist wrote a note saying she was only allowed Pfizer because of her medical history. I'm sure over 50s can do the same if they're at risk.

I received the Pfizer vaccine.  My wife received the vaccine made by Moderna.  We are both over 60.

From the news reports I have heard and read, most of the cases of blood clots seemed to involve women of "childbearing age", who may have also been using oral contraceptives, which are known to elevate the incidence of blood clots in some women.

Some people will use any lame excuse to avoid receiving an injection.

I'm childbearing age and I'm on the contraceptive pill, so I suppose my risk of getting blood clots from the vaccine is higher. The vaccine could kill me.
