Covid? You in no way addressed why the vaccine is preferable to a young healthy person. Now if you were to say there is evidence that having Covid is inferior to the vaccine and here is why ______... then I’d say hmmm, thanks man — that’s what I was asking for to begin with.

You’re joking right?

I keep hearing from family/friends and also read online about how common the nasty side effects are of the vaccine...

I think you've got some serious sampling bias going on.

Could be but that may be part or most of the reason I’m asking these questions. Do you have an answer?

Zach Morris

Here is actual data from the CDC on frequency of side effects from the Pfizer vaccine during testing

I didn't say you're biased, I said your sampling might be if you're thinking the

You’re not addressing my questions. You’re drawing your own conclusions and then providing responses to those

You're joking, right? I literally just gave you millions of reasons why getting

The first paragraph: “it’s staggering how the virus itself is far more forgiving than the vaccine appears to be.”

TCuz

He's clearly just trolling.

Byron McNertney

That’s fair, I can see how the conclusion was drawn now. My intent was to speak to young healthy people experiencing

Zach Morris

One of the biggest differences is that you can get the vaccine immediately, as opposed to waiting to get COVID

Greg Kite's 'stache

This is the difference

Yes, your opinion is unscientific and can be dismissed.

ReyOso

False. I didn’t give an opinion, I shared observations and asked for better understanding. I didn’t perch myself on any

Zach Morris

Well, don't die on the antivaxxer hill, that's what I'd say.

Ill give you unbiased data in bm..you can then share back here what you learn

Cognitive bias, actually.

You could probably burn them off if you wanted to lose your taste

I agree. I am in the exact same boat with taste/smell and I hate it.

I have seen people in their 40s with massive blood clots or pneumothorax (popped lung) due to covid

Slim

3/20/21 1:31pm

was the pneumothorax due to ventilator use?

UNLVcougar

Nope. None of those patients were ever on a ventilator.

Getting Covid and recovering from it helps herd immunity just as the vaccine

USMCdad

3/20/21 1:40pm

We don’t know yet if having had COVID makes you immune long term.

Traveshamockery

3/20/21 2:33pm

If having symptomatic disease with a fever doesn’t give you long term antibodies

StalwartBraveTrue

3/20/21 2:43pm

Yes we do, that’s why there is a vaccine for it as well

USMCdad

3/20/21 3:35pm

Antibodies after natural Covid typically exist 90 days.

Traveshamockery

3/20/21 4:31pm

I don’t believe this at all.

USMCdad

3/20/21 4:56pm

Can you share some studies showing we know how long immunity lasts?

fattycoug

3/20/21 4:46pm

I don’t care if you are anti vaccination, you do you

USMCdad

3/20/21 6:39pm

I'm not anti-vax. I'm asking you how you know that having had the virus

fattycoug

3/21/21 12:22am

Because that’s how antibodies work. Whether by having the virus or the vaccine

USMCdad

3/21/21 10:41am

My side affects from the first dose of the vaccine lasted about 24 hours. I was sick but it didn’t last long.

3/20/21 1:41pm

If you already had it and recovered from it, how did you get your vaccine

USMCdad

3/20/21 1:58pm

I qualified due to having a health condition.

3/20/21 2:08pm

Did you have an antibody test or did they even ask you about it?

USMCdad

3/20/21 3:09pm

I went at the recommendation of my hematologist. No antibody test done beforehand. Nobody asked me of my health

3/20/21 3:14pm

I think you should probably have asked a random CBer before your hematologist

fattycoug

3/20/21 4:49pm

As long as he asks those who believe vaccinations help

There have been 500k+ COVID deaths in the US. There is no evidence of COVID vaccine related deaths in the US. The end.

Seems like with the vaccine, most people get a little sick. With the virus,

3/20/21 1:43pm

You’re probably just hearing more from people who’s side effects were worse and there is probably some exaggerating

SpiffCoug

Because you can’t spread the effects of the vaccine. You can spread the actual

This makes sense, thank you. Congrats on actually answering the question instead of creating a savage straw man

Zach Morris

Well seeing as the vaccines aren't actually approved by the FDA and we don't

TutumTeRoboreReddam

3/20/21 1:52pm

A decent argument could be made that the FDA has killed more than it has saved.

TutumTeRoboreReddam

This is nonsense, and is misinformation. The vaccine is safe.

Lol, but you’re making the opposite of an informed decision, based off who knows what.

TCuz

3/20/21 4:53pm

Did you believe the media when they said the vaccine was approved too quickly?

MetaLearner

3/20/21 9:59pm

The COVID vaccines do not mess with people’s DNA, this is a falsehood that has been spread repeatedly, and is inaccurate

MIT and Harvard scientists say different.

Many people are also idiots. mRNA vaccines have been around for about 13 years.

Covid was awful for my wife and I (both 30). Not a mild cold at all.

Got the vaccine 4 hours ago. Only side effect so far is a mildly sore shoulder.

You’re really overplaying the vaccine sides and underplaying the Covid effects.
