    I'm starting to see yet another split in the population.  We have a large portion that don't care about Covid and won't do anything.  We have another portion that take it seriously...but are unwilling to venture away from the most restrictive guidance...even after it has been changed.  And then you have a small group that followed science into the pandemic and are willing to follow it out of the pandemic.  Too bad it really appears that last group is a minority group.

    I think you are right but under estimate the people following the science out of the pandemic too. I think they will be the majority of the believers but the less vocal.

    If by edgy you mean the type of mean spirited and antagonistic garbage that you see overwhelmingly on the internet, then yes...I agree.

    My wife's grandfather had a stroke a couple of weeks ago. He is had been 100% healthy his whole life. He was going to get the vaccine a week before the stroke but decided to procrastinate and get it later. What if he did get that vaccine a week before though? Would he have made the headlines for having a stroke after getting the shot? Vaccinated such a large number of the population are we not going to have these scary headlines since this stuff just naturally happens to even healthy people and would of happened anyways shot or not?

    I am really curious if her grandfather would of got that shot and had a stroke what the fall out would have been.

    Right, because it could not be a totally misleading bullshit move, right?

    Here is the actual article.
    "According to a leaked report from the Israeli Health Ministry obtained by The Times of Israel, there have been 62 reported cases of myocarditis in patients who had the Pfizer vaccine. That puts the possible risk of getting myocarditis from the Pfizer vaccine, if there is indeed a link, at 0.001%
    Most cases happened in men under the age of 30, and two people have died, including a 22-year-old woman and 35-year-old man. Both reportedly were in good health before getting vaccinated.."
    "Dr. Watkins agrees. "There is a far greater risk to the heart from COVID-19," he says."
    The author's own quote as to how worried one should be about this:  "Doctors aren't overly worried, so you shouldn't be either."


    So, yeah, take the word of some random person who puts a picture of an article, as if it offers support to his claim, rather than include a review of this article in passing judgement.

    The love he receives is the love that is saved

    It's a fact that strokes and heart attacks and communism and sex changes are caused by the covid vaccine. 

    It's good your wife's grandfather didn't get the vaccine otherwise he would be your socialist grandmother. 




    hope he's doing ok, btw.

    how ironic that people mocking others for being concerned about a real disease are the same people terrified and spreading misinformation about a vaccine developed by science. 

    just my own logic, but I'm usually more concerned about the power and unpredictability of nature than I am of tested and verified scientific breakthroughs. 

    maybe if you had been on the titanic you would have said no to an offer of a life preserver because "I'm a strong swimmer" and "I don't know where that preserver has been".

    Here is the link to the article being dubbed as misinformation in this thread.  I think we all have the right to know what events are happening post-vaccination.  Reason for alarm?  No.  Reason to not get vaccinated?  No.  But reason to have concern with knowing all of the facts?  Yes.  There is no causal link between the vaccine and myocarditis at this point; however, as small of a risk as it may potentially be, the fact remains there’s nothing conclusive to say the heart inflammation was or was not caused by the vaccine.  Look further in the article and there are proven cases of myocarditis from flu vaccines, albeit with a very, very low probability.  I personally like to know all of the facts when I put something in my body and feel it is important to do so.  Dismissing the information doesn’t seem logical to me.

    the only idiots I've seen screaming are the anti maskers. Tucker Carlson is urging his viewers to verbally accost people wearing masks to tell them to take them off, because, for some strange reason, liberty and freedom of choice isn't extended to people wearing masks, only those who choose not to wear one. 

    and the vaccine doesn't stop  you from getting and spreading the virus, genius. it prevents you from having a harsher case of the sickness and death.
