Then countries like the US still have so many people not going to their appointments...

[@GiuseppeGaetanoSabatelli]

It's because the government shut down businesses in violation of the 1st Amendment at the start with no evidence that closures did anything, meanwhile the ones making the rules continued to go out, getting their haircuts, not wearing masks. So at this point it's not about the Vx being safe, effective, or the right thing to do. They've made proponents of liberty the enemy, so it's their duty to defy.

The sad thing about this video is that I took John’s words to heart. I have two elderly grandparents with comorbidities and both of my parents have comorbidities who all blatantly refuse to get the vaccine. I tried to convince then and was unable to. I got super close to convincing my grandparents and my mother talked them out of it. Then all four of them got Covid, my dad was hospitalized, my grandparents looked like they were about five minutes away from death, and my mother literally told me it is the worst she’s ever felt in her entire life. I had to watch all four of them be so sick and take care of them knowing it was preventable. I was the only one in my family that was well during this time because I got the vaccine. And yet despite the fact that I lived with my parents at the time, and I was spending a bunch of time with my grandparents taking care of them, I never got sick. Because I got a vaccine! Yet somehow that still wasn’t enough to convince them. Because after they were all better none of them got the shot. My parents think that having gotten covid means that they can’t get it again and even though I’ve told them that’s not true they don’t care. It boggles my mind that no matter what I do they are so steadfast in their ridiculous dangerous decision. Watching this video again after all thats happened, listening to John plead To try to convince my family I’m just so sad. I tried and it wasn’t enough

[@garrett7259]

People with the vaccine are getting COVID. Weather they would have gotten the vaccine or not they would probably still have gotten infected by the virus. Do yourself a favor man, and not burden yourself with such guilt. The world was hit by surprise by a manufacturer virus out of Wuhan China. This is not your fault at all.....

[@alex_enbee]

@@garrett7259 i appreciate the sentiment but ur a lot less likely to die if you get the vaccine and get covid. They can get it again and with these new varrients I’m worried they won’t survive it this time. Plus it’s not even just about them, they’re putting the lives of so many other people who also are at a high risk of dying in jeopardy by refusing to get the vaccine. Quite honestly I think they’re being selfish and it annoys me so much that they claim to be such selfless Logical smart people who makes such a dumb illogical selfish choice.

[@kinagrill]

Sadly it's all based on one guy's faulty research cuz he wanted MMR vaccines to be done in parts... cuz he had a stake in such business so of course he wanted more people to purchase THAT instead. and that's from like the 90s iirc, yet people still believe those old, proven-false statements... :(

[@kinagrill]

@@alex_enbee Exactly. I mean you can still get the flu again even if you already got that version... your body is just faster at killing it off before any wider symptoms ends up showing.

[@brianna5183]

I know this exact feeling. Last august my father got COVID and was one of the people who claimed it was a "plandemic" fake, that the vaccine was somehow a plan for eugenics. he did not ever speak like this before getting absorbed into fox news and other far right media. his condition got worse and worse, and i would sit by his hospital bed all day while he was on the ventilator feeling so helpless. my mother didn't even get vaccinated or get my siblings vaccinated after everything we went through. we were told we should move him to hospice because he wasn't going to make it. he finally came home in mid january but he's permanently disabled. i tried so hard to convince them. i thought maybe if he lived his opinion would change because he expressed fear and regret for being unvaccinated right before he was sedated. yesterday he sent me a video from TruNews saying that people who got vaccinated were injected with HIV and have AIDS. i feel so powerless because my entire family is so indoctrinated.

[@acechandler6440]

Neither the pfizer nor moderna trials tested for transmission. A vaccine is supposed to stop transmission in addition to providing immunity, whereas these “vaccines” don’t prevent transmission and therefore don’t contribute to preventing future mutations. These drugs are experimental therapies, not “vaccines” in the traditional sense. Efficacy data, even from Israel, is based on an asymptomatic response to subsequent viral re-exposure and NOT on transmission. You can still catch covid and have it replicate in your body even after both jabs plus the two week waiting period (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/33320052/), (look at the president of Argentina if you’d like an example). The antibodies that you produce in response to the antigen of these inoculations are predominantly “non-neutralizing” as opposed to being mostly neutralizing antibodies like from an ordinary live attenuated vaccine. C-19 Survival rates: Survival rate (age 20-49): 99.98% Survival rate (age 0-19) : 99.997% (img1.wsimg.com/blobby/go/99d35b02-a5cb-41e6-ad80-a070f8a5ee17/WhitePaper_ExperimentalVaccinesCovid-19_Feb23.pdf ) If you do a proper risk/reward analysis, taking the experimental jabs being pushed through emergency use authorization (and lack full FDA approval)...should not be in your best interest. Especially for teenagers given the survival rate of their demographic. Personally, I’d rather use treatments such as ivermectin and proper vitamin supplementation (which actually have LT testing behind them). Ivermectin has a ~99% successful treatment rate in early-catch cases and has been studied since 1981, therefore long term adverse effects are weathered out and have been mentioned (www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7434458/#sec9title ) This isn’t the case with these types of inoculations. There’s been several failed animal trials trying to innoculate against SARS coronavirus using the spike protein antigen which resulted in long-term autoimmune disorders and endothelial damage. Animal studies utilizing S protein antigen for coronavirus www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7943455/ www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3335060/ -- Potential risks of LT neurodegenerative disorders www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3372647/ pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21358640/ ^Addressed in a more simplistic manner throughout this synopsis: ijvtpr.com/index.php/IJVTPR/article/view/23/version/37/34 ---- If you try to look this up, you’ll see big tech platforms like google shoving “fact checking” websites at the top of the search engine “debunking” this information to try and control the public narrative hoping people won’t actually dig through the studies. They purposefully leave out key information from the papers and misconstrue their content in order to declare a set of claims as false. It’s important to actually go through the research yourself and do proper due diligence. Reuters, factcheck(dot)org, snopes, etc. are paid out under the table from the 1.25 trillion dollar pharmaceutical industry. It’s clear most people didn’t read the studies, because these “fact checking” websites didn’t actually refute them at all and I’ve read through their arguments. They blatantly disregard key information from these papers hoping that people won’t check it and verify it for themselves. Corruption. Imagine how powerful it is to be able to control the public narrative by telling them what’s real and what’s false without them seeing the actual evidence.

The vast majority of extremely negative side effects are the ones that are equivalent to lightning strikes. 2. Remember, ALL side effects. This includes minor ones, like having a sore arm for a few days. Do you really think that feeling kinda groggy for 24 hours is that bad? 3. Have you ever seen the side effects for any medications? My iron tablets have a huge list of side effects. If you want a prime example of a huge side effect list, look at any form of pill contraceptive. Seriously, those lists are ridiculous. 4.
