In fact, the new bivalent vaccine has only ever been tested on eight mice.
That's one of the big factors that led me to start doubting the whole thing. When I read that study, it triggered some major alarms.
Well my loved ones are all alive with no myocarditis and have had asymptomatic covid with no lasting effects, so we are good thanks. I made the right choice....Everyone I know with the shots has had long lasting side effects, lost people either to covid or the one to a huge stroke, and had covid multiple times despite having four plus shots. My little family group is doing well, and no bad effects.
Interesting how these stories differ SO greatly when you talk to anti covid vaccine people vs others. My entire family and friend network, pretty much (I have some friends who didn't get vaccinated but most did) had zero side effects from the vaccine. Including myself. I got the initial 2, and got one booster. For me, its enough, I will not be getting any more. Some of my family is planning to get every booster offered. I definitely worry about them, because I have seen too much to not believe that some people are getting really bad reactions. It also seems like the people getting vaccinated over and over are getting covid more often, at least judging from social media posts. Then again, my mom and sister and brother have all had 4 shots and only finally got it recently for the first time.
So I don't know if it's a batch-related thing, or if some people are lying/exaggerating. Either way, I'mdone with the shots, it's clearly profit-driven and I trust my immune system more than the vaccines. It doesn't prevent transmission so it's entirely a personal choice.
Questioning it here is one thing, but on twitter, in real life, on facebook, on social media it got your cancelled hard. I lost jobs, money, friends, was bullied and ridiculed and so was every other person who questioned efficacy and safety and said they didn't want it. It was a recipe for absolute social pariah status and still is. By the way, quit the 'he' or 'she' bullshit with me. I have not said if I am male or female, and am non binary, you had no need to know my gender in order to talk to me. Just another little dig.
Give me a break... he referred to you as "he" before you ever expressed anything about being nonbinary. You can't expect someone to just somehow guess that through the Internet. Patterns of speech are ingrained, we often refer to people as "he" or "she" and it means nothing, it is not meant n any way as a dig. You can't expect the entire world to cater to your pronoun preferences automatically. Until a few years ago, nobody was thinking about gendered pronouns. I don't understand why you would interpret that as a dig, especially from alasdairm.
Personally I'm happy to refer to you as "they" or "them", now that I know. But had I called you "he" or "she", I shouldn't be expected to feel bad if you never put forth what your preference is. You can't expect everyone to change the way they use the English language all of a sudden. So much of speech, and writing, is automatic. Sure, I agree that if someone knows your preference and continues to deliberately misgender you, that is disrespectful. But to do it once before you said anything... it's ridiculous to say we should refer to everyone as "they/them" by default. It's not even grammatically correct. If that offends you, I posit that perhaps you are letting yourself be offended too easily.
Kinda surprised none of you right winger guys commented on this, I guess because this person agrees with your point in the thread.
Not quite spot on there I think most would agree, infact rather definitely incorrect
