I've Been Shot

[Flopper]

They were never overrun....... it just didn't happen. They were also never in any danger of being overrun.

I know, you saw it on CNN and believed it, but I was in a major hospital, in the 4th biggest city in the country, looking around me with my own 2 eyes, and the place was a fucking ghost town.

This has always been 99.999% bullshit, guy. Have you still not woken up to that?

I don't know what you're talking about. During the worst period back in April 2020, hospital wards were filled with covid patients in Seattle and most all other large cities. A drain on resources required the hospitals to cancel out patient services except for emergencies. I know because I had a Colonoscopy cancelled. On TV, people were being told not to go to hospital unless they believed their condition was life threatening. My neighbor went to the hospital with an irregular heartbeat and ended up sitting in the ER waiting room for 7 hours with heart monitor attached.

It's true that there were some hospitals that were not seriously effected. Almost all of these were smaller hospitals in rural and suburban areas that were not equipped to handle serious corvid cases. When serious corvid cases came into the ER, they were transferred to larger city hospitals. Those that were not serious were sent home or held temporarily. It wasn't that bad for these hospitals but for large city hospitals is was a unparcelled disaster. If we had not flattened the curve we would have had thousands of seriously ill patient sent home without treatment.

False.

That was the bullshit story they told everyone, it wasn't what was actually happening.


Where do you think all those nurses and staff got all the free time to make TikTok videos about how "heroic" they all were? If they were so overworked?

I had Covid back in November.

Now, whenever I ask myself if I should get the vaccine or not, I read all manner of commentary from educated medical professionals which says I should get the vaccine. The arguments made in favor of it make perfect sense, so it would seem like a no brainer to get the vaccine.

But, at the same time, I read all manner of commentary from educated medical professionals which says I should not get the vaccine. The arguments made against getting it make perfect sense, so it would seem like a no brainer to not get the vaccine.

If it was only one or two voodoo witch-doctor types on either side presenting that side's argument, it might make it easier to dismiss. But I've read too much, and discussed it with medical professionals I trust and respect, and there's simply no consensus. That, more than anything, is what's kept me from getting it thus far...

Does all the censorship, deplatforming, and suppression of speech help make you feel like getting the jab?

 

[EvMetro]

I'm not a young guy anymore and I have some serious health issues that SHOULD have been addressed a YEAR ago!---- in the hospital with tests and/or maybe surgeries. This whole thing with Covid just drags on and on. I'm afraid that it is placing me in a rather sticky widget where:

1. I will be forced around doctors, offices and hospital facilities soon whether I want to or not, the LAST place I want to be, and get Covid from them.
2. I will be discriminated against, denied, shunned or persecuted for NOT getting the vaccine.

Clearly, people are being FORCED to make decisions against their better judgement, and there are a great many concerns, questions and doubts about Covid and the vax.

It's a personal decision that no one has proven affects others that every person ought to be FREE to make. But I didn't feel very free.

It's not that Covid isn't real, just that the risks have been politically exaggerated. It's not that the vax doesn't help or work, just that you are being asked to take something that HAS caused many to get very ill, isn't even approved by the FDA and which you have no legal recourse if it hurts you.

I finally went to see my doctor the other day for the first time in over a year because it could not be avoided. I resolved that it was counterproductive to expose myself to places where sick people were going in and out the door 50 times a day and either was exposing myself to a potential Covid infection that under my circumstances might be a serious event for me, or expose myself to growing friction, discrimination, frustration, scorn and obstinance from doctors, medical staff and society in general.

The nurse at my doctors office insisted I get the 15 minute antigen Covid test. She sneered when I told her it was a waste of time that I couldn't possibly have Covid. And the results indeed came back negative. I told her I could have told her that with my eyes closed. She sneered again. They made me wear a stupid cheap mask while there and I wonder if my test had come back positive whether my doctor would have refused me treatment for being sick? Everyone's an irrational asshole these days.

So I relented and called my pharmacist buddy up and told him I wanted the shot. So I got the Moderna vaccine yesterday.

I had to fill out papers essentially giving away all my rights. I rationalized that if I haven't gotten sick from Covid yet, I probably never will, and if the Vaccine hasn't hurt most people, it wouldn't likely hurt me, and mostly nothing ever bothers me. I'm generally as tough as dried leather. I don't like any of this but I know when one is fighting against diminished returns.

I was told the shot would leave my arm sore, that if I had a bad reaction to the vaccine, it would come on near immediately, and to hang around for 15 minutes before driving. I had the pharmacist come out and give me the shot as I waiting in the parking lot in my car.

I rationalized that if nothing else, it would free my life up a bit and make things easier with one thing left not to worry about.

Nothing at all happened in my 15 minute wait there, but by last night, my arm where I got the shot was indeed sore. Like I had gotten a knuckle punch there. Other than that, I'm fine.

So that's it. I still feel Covid is a huge political football with questions of its origins and how last year was handled that beg to be answered, and I don't like getting the Covid shot at all, but I felt I had to make the best decision for myself and take my chances. I'm probably at low risk to get the virus now (more so in a month to six weeks) and probably at a low risk to get ill from the vaccine.

But I also felt that it would be dishonest and hypocritical not to admit getting it. But I'm in no way advocating for the shot, each person must look at their individual circumstance and make that decision for THEMSELVES.

I don't glow under UV light and I haven't sprouted a third head. But that doesn't make what has gone on for the past 16 months OK, neither.

More power to you whatever your decision. May you not get Covid or have a bad reaction to the vaxx whether you decide to get the shot or not. If I were ten years younger and in better health not likely to soon be at ground zero with doctors and hospitals, there is no way I would have ever agreed to get the vaccine.

This story reminds me of "One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest."

Best of luck to you.

Too bad you just called him a "sheep" following his master to hell.

no you are the sheep you took the shot because you were told to do so without any question. dumbass that's the difference

 

[bigrebnc1775]

I think it is great he got the 'jab.'
I want everyone to get vaccinated.
Don't you?

fuck no if it's a dictate no way in hell
RESIST

 

[bigrebnc1775]

Too bad Trump was tied up at that time being accused of trying to overthrow America with a coup of people in street clothes carrying flags, then impeached.

Maybe Nancy and the democrats should have been more concerned with Covid and put the country's interests ahead of her own political vendettas.

AND SHE'S STILL AT IT!

REMEMBER WHEN NANCY WANTED EVERYBODY TO MEET AT CHINATOWN?

Really ?

You had to sign away ALL your rights?

 

[Faun]

the sheep will follow their master to hell. I will forever refuse to take the mark, this covid BS is a test run to see how much the sheep can a will be controlled.

Herman Cain agrees wholeheartedly with you.

 

[Mr Natural]

no you are the sheep you took the shot because you were told to do so without any question. dumbass that's the difference

Nobody was told to do anything! The shot was offered and recommended but never forced. The choice was and still is all yours.

 

[Blues Man]

This is the consent form

https://www.utsa.edu/roadmap/doc/covid19-vaccine-screening-and-consent-form-moderna.pdf

Please tell me what rights you are signing away

âItâs too lateâ: US doctor says dying patients begging for Covid vaccine

At least 99% of those in US who died of Covid in the last six months had not been vaccinated, says CDC director Dr Rochelle Walensky

[Moonglow]

No one gives a flying crap what mental defectives like you think!

You simply cannot have a serious, adult conversation with any Leftist. I just knew that NOT ONE Lefty here would have the integrity after weeks and months of cajoling and berating people to get the vaccine to actually say ONE GOOD THING about someone actually getting it!

You assholes are all SO predictable:

1. I was wrong not to get the vaccine.
2. Now I'm wrong for getting the vaccine!

Of course, if I were a Biddum Minion, you'd be all waxing poetic with love for someone getting it.

I guess I left out one other not-so-small fact:

My pharmacy had real troubles getting the vaccine and last winter told me they were only getting a few bottles at a time and had a waiting list 20,000 long. So I gave up calling and asking until last Thursday.​

Congrats you gotz day shot. Now go have a nice day kicking dogs.

 

[Moonglow]

This type of issue will be found to be responsible for many deaths, eventually.


It is part of the cost of the decision to "lockdown" so aggressively.

I ain't much of a lockdown. I spent six years in lockdown before getting an operation that allowed me to walk better.

why are people being forced to take the vaccine whether they want it or not?

No worries, remain unvaccinated. Attend as many Trump rallies as you can.

shrugs bug I will remain unvaccinated and you'll remain subjugated as long as leftists in charge need you. After they no longer need you they will disregard you like Hitler did the brown shirts who no longer had any usefulness.
