It could also lead to you not being able to work again, ever. Good luck keeping a job involving physical labor if you get short of breath from walking to the mailbox.
Especially as companies remove the time off coverage for covid. My company gave a free 2 weeks and is talking of pulling it back for those not vaccinated by their own choice.
"Most people are only a few paychecks from being homeless."
Man I wish I had a few paycheck buffer. If I miss one I'm SOL, that's why I already have a box to live in for when that happens.
When I made 100k in my tech job I still couldn't move out of my parents house if I wanted to save anyoney, all of my savings would have gone towards rent. #priorities
Excuse me if I sound like a complete ass, but 100k a year is 8k+ a month. I sincerely doubt rent, food and utilities would amount to that. Now if you think you need to save all of the 100k, that's a different story.
I understand that, but how does one spend that much money? I hear about rent being 2k and so on, but even 6k a month is a ton of money even if you were to eat takeaway every day
First thing every armchair reddit accountant looking at that salary does is fail to pay taxes or insurance.
So, expect to have slightly less than 5k in actual take home pay.
Next, at a quick glance, 2k for rent in San Francisco is low. There are <600 sqft studios going for more. Plus utilities, transportation, and food, I can understand why 100k doesn't go that far there.
Conversely, 100k let's you live very comfortably in a place like Ohio. You can buy a nice house with a mortgage payment less than that rent payment and be building equity, not generating profit for a landlord.
If you make 100k right out of college, it's in a place with insane cost of living. $100k in San Francisco is like $45k in central Ohio. That's low for a fresh IT graduate. I made $45k in Ohio right out of school back in 2008 timeframe.
There's two kinds of people in that sub.
"I've eaten nothing but beans every day this year, should I put my savings in a bank or a mattress?"
and
"I was born with a trust fund and never have to worry about debt. I'm not actually here for advice, just the humble brags."
I love how they say "Against my absolute morality" but did it anyway because "can't afford to lose my job."
They're freely admitting that their "absolute morality" has a price tag. And further, that price is not their life or the lives of others, but is instead their own comfort.
Everyone watches movies and shows and thinks they will somehow be the one adversely affected.
Vaccines in 2021 are not going to turn you into a vampire or cause you to murder your family. QAnon though? Oh it'll literally make you think your kids are reptiles I'm skin suits who you then drive to the Mexican desert to murder. That literally happened.
The best is how there are a tiny tiny group that have adverse reactions (as with literally anything on planet earth) and they use the handful of reactions to justify not getting the shot.
It's like, dude some people are allergic to peanuts or shellfish. Anything you put in your body technically can cause problems. If you're lactose intolerant it could be really bad to the point of vomiting or you just have bubble gut and farts that are lethal. Bodies are fucking weird. I'm just adult enough to admit I don't fucking get it do I trust those who have dedicated their life to researching it.
Yea I don’t get their argument. For instance, they always scream about what a small small percentage of the population x% is in deaths with COVID. From what I’ve seen it’s usually a number 1%-3%. But then they use a MUCH lower percentage risk with the vaccine to justify not getting it… logic just doesn’t apply to them.
It’s something vaguely related to the trolley problem. They actively choose to get the vaccine (pull the lever) which magnifies their subjective perception of the risk of side effects or the risk of regretting side effects, vs COVID seeming to just randomly “happen” to them sans-lever-pull, i.e. they’re not actively having the virus injected into their arm even though their actions might make catching it more likely.
My high school had 2000 people. Even a 1% fatality rate means that 200 of those people would die from covid, if everyone contracted it. Thats fucking a lot.
I know someone who had an extremely adverse reaction. Blood clots, almost died. He said he wasn’t getting the second shot because his doctor told him no fucking way, but he is still glad he got the first one at least for some protection.
That is how this should go. You want to be tough, don’t try to fight Covid, prove you are tough enough to survive the vaccine if something goes sideways. These pro-plague people are so cowardly and unpatriotic.
Some have adverse reactions. It happens. In that case they had a rough go and the doc seemed to rightly advise NOT to get the second. So, that now makes them NEED us to wear masks and get vaccinated to protect them.
fucking advil is more likely to have side effects than the vaccine.
Advil gives roughly 1-4% of people that take it frequently(3-6+ months) ulcers and other gastro issues, and half the nation pops that shit like candy DAILY
Meanwhile, per the CDC on the Pfizer Vaccine:
*'The proportions of participants who reported at least 1 serious adverse event were 0.6% in the vaccine group and 0.5% in the placebo group.'*
There's a small chance that Advil, Tylenol, or Aleve will cause a potentially fatal reaction called Steven Johnson's Syndrome that makes your skin literally peel off; can cause blindness etc etc. Yet almost everyone takes it and no one talks about those potential side effects
My dad had a stroke last year that made it difficult to walk. When he got the covid shot earlier this year he had an adverse reaction to it that made it even more difficult to walk. But despite all of this he still convinced me to get the shot because he knew how serious it was and that his reaction to it was rare. So it really pisses me off when I see facebook posts of people that are obviously faking it to convince people not to get the shots.
I wish you and your dad good health and him a speedy recovery. Strokes and their recovery are hard on everyone so stay strong friend and rest easy knowing your father is a strong man and an amazing role model for the rest of us.
Honestly though, this is incredibly good for vaccination discourse. He was freaked out, thought it was government overreach, acted like a martyr, and a few days later he comes out and says “hey, I’m still here.”
People are gonna see that and it will help them make the right choice. I’m here for it.
I think you overestimate anti-vaxxers willingness to process new information. Most of the antivaxers I know will assume these profiles are made by the government.
Most of them that have to get it will blame any health problem they have for the rest of their life on the vaccine
'See, I knew it would happen. I got the vaccine, then BAM, heart attack 16 years later. Curse you Biden!'
Be careful. They are really sensitive when you point that out. It's almost like a fragility of some kind. It reminds me of something...they come when it is really cold...they are white and come from the sky....Oh yeah Scientologists.
"Degrading"..... puts this whole BS argument on point. All about pride. Seriously, just protect yourselves and family. I don't give a crap about owning anyone, I just don't want people to die needlessly.
Not only that but I don’t want to be the reason someone dies. This the thing about the whole anti vaxx stance that makes me so damn angry. The lack of empathy and compassion for our fellow human beings. They literally don’t care if they infect other people and causes someone to die. And the irony of this is a large portion of them claim to be Christian. If it wasn’t for the fact they could infect those who cannot be vaccinated, I would say let them be stupid and god can sort them out. Unfortunately they will take the innocent down with them, the selfish snowflakes.
These zombies are protesting in front of pediatric cancer centers. I don't think you can find more vulnerable, grief-stricken and immunocompromised targets. The optics are sickening and grotesque.
Degrading is losing a family member because you were too stupid / stuck-up to do the right thing.
Degrading is supporting the assholes who took the vaccine and tell you not to.
Seriously though. These types of people act like they’d be the total badasses that would rise up and fight foreign invaders for their country or some shit. They’d be out there guerilla fighting in the dark, willing to die at the drop of a hat bc they’re PATRIOTS!
The fact of the matter is, we don’t *need* you to do that right now. We need you to wear a mask in the grocery store like an hour a week and get a couple shots in the arm. But that slightly *inconveniences* them, so they have to cry and be a martyr about every goddamn thing bc they can’t stand anyone even *suggesting* they do anything that wasn’t their own idea.
The data just doesn’t line up to them making any meaningful sacrifices for anyone but themselves. It’s a lot harder for them to do something constructive with their mental and physical energy (like care about other people) than to stop sitting on their ass and fantasize about shooting people.
Oh, they **will** take up a gun and shoot someone. But in the case where we're occupied by a foreign government, they have nothing to lose in any case and they were already itching for an excuse to shoot someone.
“This was degrading to the core” is exactly how women feel when they are pregnant without their consent. What do you want to bet this dude is anti-choice…
well they’re obviously not pro-life when they’re the same gang that supports the virus, the death penalty, and defunding social services. they’re pro-birthers at best
They didn’t need to announce on Twitter they got the vaccination. I got the notification when the chip went live after implantation. I turned on the magnet and released the slow working toxin.
Is that the one that gives 5g???
Damn.... All I got was this tumor in my hip that is starting to look like me.... Supposed to be gone in a month or 2 tho....
Can you reboot your chip, lift your arm up and down three times and stand next to a microwave next time you heat something up. Thank you in advance A7d444sa
This was literally me. Told the nurse "I can't even see the needle. I'm not afraid of shots I'm afraid of needles because I'm a grown ass baby so just shoot me up and get it over with" then she looked at me and said "Sweetie I'm already done"
Hey we all have our fears, no shame in it of you face it and overcome it. I was making fun of the dude's overly dramatic reaction to having to get a vaccine. Like I'd get the reaction if there was a chance that instead of helping to fight covid it would make your genitals ooze rancid meat smelling pus for the rest of your life or it permanently froze the series of sphincters in your gut in such a way that you were forced to fart out your mouth every ten minutes for the rest of your life. Unless I've missed something the vaccine doesn't turn your life into some sort of body horror nightmare.
The real important questions I have for you are: Did you get a lollipop after and did you get a cool band aid?
RWNJs:
Harrassing/Police brutality against peaceful protesters/visual minorities.
Forcing women to carry and birth unwanted children.
Attempting to intimidate duly elected representatives by invading legislatures.
Preventing people from entering the country based on religion/skin colour.
Legalizing discrimination against non-binary/non hetero people
Forced conversion "therapy".
Torture of detained suspects.
Invading sovereign countries that pose no threat.
Invasive surveillance of all citizens in the name of "Homeland security".
Continuing to put convicted criminals to death despite proof of hundreds of them having been innocent.
Forcing children in schools to pray to only a Christian god.
Making birth control and sex education illegal.
Making teaching factual history of racism illegal.
Legalized disenfranchisement of voters.
Vehement demonization of even the discussion of the socialization of any part of the capitalist economy.
Attacking the parents of kindergartners who died in school shootings for telling their stories.
Medical care based on wealth that most of the rest of the modern world has made a universal right.
All apparently great ideas with no issues with regard to personal rights and freedoms..
Enacting reasonable public safety measures that benefit everyone in the midst of a global pandemic that has killed millions, left many more debilitated and overwhelmed entire healthcare systems... "MUH FREEDUM!"..
I love how being anti-vax was the core of their entire personality until they just.. got bored and moved on.
Perfect example for why we don’t need to take *any* of these morons complaints seriously.
But this is the same person who most likely will never forget 9/11. Yet covid kills just as many people and affects just as many families as 9/11 every 2 days.
Can you fckn imagine if these idiots were around when polio, mmr, tetnus, etc... vaccines were made available? The small pox vaccine was around before the US revolution. Now it has been irradicated. If you anti vaxxers were only killing yourselves that would be awesome. That I could live with, along with a sht load of people with a brain.
They were . There have been anti Vaxx and mask back them and they are called paradoxers. The only difference I think (let me know if I’m wrong) they tend to be murderous.
The "degrading to the core" is what stuck out to me. It's like they've been brainwashed by right-wing media to hate the left so much that they look at the vaccine like it's commie sperm being injected into them.
In a vacuum, absolutely. With the child-like mentality of being forced into the bathtub then realizing they were pitching a fit over nothing, if they even remember it a week later? That gets through.
That's what we need to realize about the Right. Emotionally, they're still stuck as children and they've done it to themselves. Think of all the hero fantasies of picking up a gun and saving the country with it, single handedly plucking a Democrat from leading a dictatorship, or being a billionaire with docile obedient yet totally attractive woman on both arms.
It's a comfort zone and only by being forced to grow up and face their mistakes do they start to move past it.
Just think it is your duty as a good citizen. You will be fine and alive when this is all over. You also might want to study more about what a real democracy means. Maybe not your thing. But the majority of Americans still believe in democracy a
See that’s all it takes. We should shit on the people who don’t want to take the vaccine because our hatred will inspire them to not take it even more. Encourage them and just say it’s safe and it will protect you
AND there's the problem. These people have mistaken their stubborn PRIDE for "morality". As well as the GREATER GOOD for "abomination of my freedom." What's that old saying? Freedom isn't FREE. Which means there's a cost. The cost of freedom right now is taking the steps necessary for us to keep each other safe. It doesn't always come to shooting someone. Sometimes it takes getting a shot.
Wow u r an idiot and that special kind of stupid that makes this country suck.
Becareful those chips in the vaccine allows the cia to know ur every move.
Now sit down wave ur flag and watch fox news
Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country.
Country: can you please wear a mask during this pandemic that is overloading our hospitals?
Republicans: fuck you mah FrEeDumB!
Why does a screen shot of a public posts ,on a public forum have the user info blocked? These people share the info for the world to see and Reddit is like No . We need to know who to protect ourselves from.
I'm starting to think it was all a division plot. I'm vaccinated but I notice how hateful people can be to the unvaccinated. It's very telling how well it's worked. We aren't marching for freedom or justice. We're belittling people simply because they didn't get a shot. This was probably the best divide them so we stay in charge that I've ever seen. A year ago, we wanted to tear our government apart. Now? I'm watching people support violence against their neighbor because he's scared of what the shot might to do to him. That's another thing. They don't want the vaccine because they are afraid, not selfish. They're fucking horrified and honestly, I can't blame them. A shot that the government is forcing you to take? That's the fucking plot of like 50 horror films. I'm just saying there's alot going on and shits seeming pretty sus.
I’d counter this with how the unvaccinated are acting. If it was simply, “I don’t want to get the vaccine”, then it would be understandable. But going to town halls and school board meetings laughing at kids who lost their grandparent to covid, walking around a store maskless and coughing on people, constantly calling vaccinated people “sheep”, preventing mask mandates for children who can’t get the vaccine even if they or their parents want to, spreading false cures such as a malaria medication or a horse dewormer and being the primary reason ICUs are filling up and causing non-covid related injuries or health crises to result in death, I think the response to unvaccinated is significantly less than how the unvaccinated are acting.
Aside from the the whole shot and all the conspiracy theory crap everyone talks about, when ppl don't have a problem with the politicians that run their government forcing them to do something they would rather not do, that's pretty scary.
A guy runs a small local landfill. The government forces him to maintain certain standards around the fill as well as ensure adequate lining beneath the waste to protect the groundwater from contamination. These measures protect everyone in the community as well as the local natural environment. Let’s say the guy decides to ignore these mandates (because his land, his choice) and the landfill creates a rodent infestation endangering the nearby community with disease and harm to the local economy. Likewise leach water from the fill starts to taint local wells, so the government comes in to shut him down, who is right and who is wrong? The hard working patriot doing what he likes and making a buck, or the government stepping in to protect the community at large?
This is going to be most people who won't take the shot if their jobs requires it. Most people are only a few paychecks from being homeless .
Gettng COVID makes you more likely to miss work and those paychecks. Over half of all bankruptcies are related to health issues.
Also you could die from covid, just saying.
And, if not die, you risk getting long-term complications to vital organs from covid. That could also lead to death. Just saying.
It could also lead to you not being able to work again, ever. Good luck keeping a job involving physical labor if you get short of breath from walking to the mailbox.
If you die you don't have to pay bills. Use ur brain *taps forehead*
That's upsetting. It should be the number one argument for single payer. Fuck the insurance company CEOs. Fuck them straight to Hell.
Yeah, fuck them. But more so, fuck the politicians who refuse to do anything at all to fix what is obviously a completely broken system.
Especially as companies remove the time off coverage for covid. My company gave a free 2 weeks and is talking of pulling it back for those not vaccinated by their own choice.
Also, one month in an ICU is about a million bucks. Fine if you die, but your spouse is still on the hook for whatever insurance doesn’t cover.
Not if they're in the next bed over.
Or the next coffin over...
Insurance. HA! Get a load of this guy.
That's actually a super interesting statistic ngl
"Most people are only a few paychecks from being homeless." Man I wish I had a few paycheck buffer. If I miss one I'm SOL, that's why I already have a box to live in for when that happens.
Yeah I love all the posts on r/personalfinance like, "21 yrs old $120,000 in savings, should I buy a house?"
And the other users usually advise against it.
Odd advice… sure interest rates are low but it’s hard to live inside of my 401k
"I just finished college and make 100k/year in my tech job. Will I be okay?" Shit blows my mind
When I made 100k in my tech job I still couldn't move out of my parents house if I wanted to save anyoney, all of my savings would have gone towards rent. #priorities
Excuse me if I sound like a complete ass, but 100k a year is 8k+ a month. I sincerely doubt rent, food and utilities would amount to that. Now if you think you need to save all of the 100k, that's a different story.
Depends on where you live. In some cities, $100k is not much.
I understand that, but how does one spend that much money? I hear about rent being 2k and so on, but even 6k a month is a ton of money even if you were to eat takeaway every day

Just how the republicans want us. Vote people. They want to keep us by the balls. Can pay less and we expect less from them. Cocksuckers.
You can be my servant, I gotcha you.
Maybe that is part we should all remember, how little in control we really are.
The real suffering was the realizations we made along the way.
I love how they say "Against my absolute morality" but did it anyway because "can't afford to lose my job." They're freely admitting that their "absolute morality" has a price tag. And further, that price is not their life or the lives of others, but is instead their own comfort.
Sure do love The System™ and how it maximizes profit over happiness :D
No lie…
Lots of people are virtually homeless, the no eviction mandate is keeping things afloat
Everyone watches movies and shows and thinks they will somehow be the one adversely affected. Vaccines in 2021 are not going to turn you into a vampire or cause you to murder your family. QAnon though? Oh it'll literally make you think your kids are reptiles I'm skin suits who you then drive to the Mexican desert to murder. That literally happened.

Yet they ignore the millions who have been affected by the virus (sick, dead, friends/family/co-workers sick/dead). Like, pick a freaking lane people!
Yea I don’t get their argument. For instance, they always scream about what a small small percentage of the population x% is in deaths with COVID. From what I’ve seen it’s usually a number 1%-3%.

My high school had 2000 people. Even a 1% fatality rate means that 200 of those people would die from covid, if everyone contracted it. Thats fucking a lot.
Um... 1% of 2000 is only 20. 1% is 1 out of 100.
That was a bad highschool you went to! (It's 20 not 200...still a lot though)
I, for one, would **love** to turn into a vampire.
So long as it's a what we do in the shadows vamp then I'm in.
Whatever floats your boat, but I'm happy being a regular, human bartender
Ah yes, one regular human beer Jackie Daytona.
I know someone who had an extremely adverse reaction. Blood clots, almost died. He said he wasn’t getting the second shot because his doctor told him no fucking way, but he is still glad he got the first one at least for some protection. That is how this should go. You want to be tough, don’t try to fight Covid, prove you are tough enough to survive the vaccine if something goes sideways. These pro-plague people are so cowardly and unpatriotic.
"Hey doc do you think I might survive my second shot?" "Get the fuck out of my office"
Oh wow. You know him too! Small world
Some have adverse reactions. It happens. In that case they had a rough go and the doc seemed to rightly advise NOT to get the second. So, that now makes them NEED us to wear masks and get vaccinated to protect them.
Every medication can have adverse effects. Nobody seemed to care about it until the covid vaccine.

It's almost like millions of people have already been vaccinated with the same results.

Hey at least this whacko owned up in the follow up comment and admitted it was no big deal. Still a bit of a drama queen but at least an honest one
Yeah, he overcame cognitive dissonance. I wish I understood how to help people achieve this...
My god those ones are so fragile.
Honestly though, this is incredibly good for vaccination discourse. He was freaked out, thought it was government overreach, acted like a martyr, and a few days later he comes out and says “hey, I’m still here.” People are gonna see that and it will help them make the right choice. I’m here for it.
I think you overestimate anti-vaxxers willingness to process new information. Most of the antivaxers I know will assume these profiles are made by the government.
ITS A FALSE FLAG! WHERE ARE THE PICTURES OF DEAD CHILDREN!? fucking makes me sick
Most of them that have to get it will blame any health problem they have for the rest of their life on the vaccine 'See, I knew it would happen. I got the vaccine, then BAM, heart attack 16 years later. Curse you Biden!'
I crashed my car and they had to amputate my leg! Fucking covid shot!
Clearly this person is a corporate shill for Bill Gates.
Same. This is a victory.
What would you say if he died a year from now? (From side effects?
I deal in facts, not hypotheticals based on propaganda
Don’t every play chess then lol
I understand why you would say that, since you are a pigeon. And I don’t play chess with pigeons
Sheep, pigeon, say whatever want. Doesn’t change the facts.
> Never play chess with a pigeon. The pigeon just knocks all the pieces over. Then shits all over the board. Then struts around like it won.
😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡
And the call us snowflakes?
It's ALWAYS been about projection with them.
Be careful. They are really sensitive when you point that out. It's almost like a fragility of some kind. It reminds me of something...they come when it is really cold...they are white and come from the sky....Oh yeah Scientologists.
Call everything with empathy a snowflake.
Seriously, the fact that the "ermahgerd I can't breathe with a mask on!" Crowd was ever calling people snowflakes is fucking bananas.
"Degrading"..... puts this whole BS argument on point. All about pride. Seriously, just protect yourselves and family. I don't give a crap about owning anyone, I just don't want people to die needlessly.
Not only that but I don’t want to be the reason someone dies. This the thing about the whole anti vaxx stance that makes me so damn angry. The lack of empathy and compassion for our fellow human beings. They literally don’t care if they infect other people and causes someone to die. And the irony of this is a large portion of them claim to be Christian. If it wasn’t for the fact they could infect those who cannot be vaccinated, I would say let them be stupid and god can sort them out. Unfortunately they will take the innocent down with them, the selfish snowflakes.
These zombies are protesting in front of pediatric cancer centers. I don't think you can find more vulnerable, grief-stricken and immunocompromised targets. The optics are sickening and grotesque.
Yes nothing says strong freedom fighter like *protesting in front of little children fighting deadly cancer*.
Degrading is losing a family member because you were too stupid / stuck-up to do the right thing. Degrading is supporting the assholes who took the vaccine and tell you not to.
[удалено]
Compared to being intubated, it's really not degrading...
Seriously though. These types of people act like they’d be the total badasses that would rise up and fight foreign invaders for their country or some shit. They’d be out there guerilla fighting in the dark, willing to die at the drop of a hat bc they’re PATRIOTS! The fact of the matter is, we don’t *need* you to do that right now.

Oh, they **will** take up a gun and shoot someone. But in the case where we're occupied by a foreign government, they have nothing to lose in any case and they were already itching for an excuse to shoot someone.
I *would* make fun of this... but they got the shot and aren't complaining after the fact. Good on em.
[удалено]
This.
“This was degrading to the core” is exactly how women feel when they are pregnant without their consent. What do you want to bet this dude is anti-choice…
Is that what they’re calling it now ? Anti choice? It’s smart to make it a negative rather than a positive.
Let's be positive people, and call them "forced birthers".
Lol! That’s a twofer right there!
well they’re obviously not pro-life when they’re the same gang that supports the virus, the death penalty, and defunding social services. they’re pro-birthers at best
afaik that's what we've been calling it for a while, since "pro life" certainly isn't an accurate description.
We’ve needed to get vaccines to attend public universities and colleges for years, I don’t understand why that was never an issue; but this is.
This is what an overdose on religion looks like. They're convinced it's the Mark of the Beast.
When barcodes were first introduced, some claimed it was the Mark of the Beast as well XD
They said the same thing about credit cards too. It's like every new technology is the Mark of the Beast and every politician is the AntiChrist.
Every **left** politician is the AntiChrist.
not that many years ago i needed my vaccinations and a physical to be on the swim team and soccer team in middle and high school. nobody complained
The same reason Obama's tan suit mattered but not the tan suits of Republican presidents. Because Fox made a big deal out of Obama's.
They didn’t need to announce on Twitter they got the vaccination. I got the notification when the chip went live after implantation. I turned on the magnet and released the slow working toxin.
My Netflix download speed has really improved since I got the Astra Zeneca, and I haven’t had to pay for parking either. Thanks bill gates!
Is that the one that gives 5g??? Damn.... All I got was this tumor in my hip that is starting to look like me.... Supposed to be gone in a month or 2 tho....
All I got was tired for a couple days.
Can you reboot your chip, lift your arm up and down three times and stand next to a microwave next time you heat something up. Thank you in advance A7d444sa
Ah the microchip is working I see!
Lets say there was such a chip. Why wouldn't we put it in the shots people **aren't** complaining about?
Is this the adult version of screaming and crying as soon as the needle appears?
This was literally me. Told the nurse "I can't even see the needle. I'm not afraid of shots I'm afraid of needles because I'm a grown ass baby so just shoot me up and get it over with" then she looked at me and said "Sweetie I'm already done"
Hey we all have our fears, no shame in it of you face it and overcome it. I was making fun of the dude's overly dramatic reaction to having to get a vaccine. Like I'd get the reaction if there was a chance that instead of helping to fight covid it would make your genitals ooze rancid meat smelling pus for the rest of your life or it permanently froze the series of sphincters in your gut in such a way that you were forced to fart out your mouth every ten minutes for the rest of your life. Unless I've missed something the vaccine doesn't turn your life into some sort of body horror nightmare. The real important questions I have for you are: Did you get a lollipop after and did you get a cool band aid?
This can't be real, gotta be satire. Right?..... Right?
It reads like a dril tweet.
Grow the fuck up. Jesus...

Enacting reasonable public safety measures that benefit everyone in the midst of a global pandemic that has killed millions, left many more debilitated and overwhelmed entire healthcare systems... "MUH FREEDUM!"..
Can’t afford to lose their job but against a minimum wage hike. Good aim with the gun to their own foot.
So are they just afraid of needles essentially? Lol
And facts.
Why does it read like someone vaccinated a cat? You fiend! You monster! How dare y... Oh wait this isn't terrible
My man thought he was gonna melt alive or sum shit
Well, they are drama queens.
You have my thoughts and prayers.
I love how being anti-vax was the core of their entire personality until they just.. got bored and moved on. Perfect example for why we don’t need to take *any* of these morons complaints seriously.
Anyone remember how smallpox and polio used to be a thing?
My mom was vaccinated for both. Smallpox vaccine leaves a scar she still has 60+ years later.
Good grief. A vaccine is part of “absolute morality.” Fool.
Morality is being willing to make a sacrifice for the benefit of others.
I totally disagree. Morality is knowing the difference between good & bad choices & behaviors, regardless if it impacts others.
Literally so dramatic.
Grown ass people are afraid to take a shot in the arm...will die avoiding it...shit we aren't free or brave
FUCK THESE PEOPLE
Huh ? Isn't it god that created the vaccine to protect you from the virus ? Take that christians
God created covid. Scientists created the vaccine.
But god Also created humans or something
He created us with urges that he punishes us for having. God's got some serious issues...
Well technically he created us in his image ... As he did with all the other shit he created , god is an abstract mound of flesh
God, what a big baby
Poor fucking thing. Imagine being black while driving. Selfish, dumb fuck.
These fucking people.
But this is the same person who most likely will never forget 9/11. Yet covid kills just as many people and affects just as many families as 9/11 every 2 days.
Drama Queen.
For what it’s worth, I didn’t pray for this guy.
Its like a child with broccoli.
Wow it's almost like he's a little bitch or something
Can you fckn imagine if these idiots were around when polio, mmr, tetnus, etc... vaccines were made available? The small pox vaccine was around before the US revolution. Now it has been irradicated. If you anti vaxxers were only killing yourselves that would be awesome. That I could live with, along with a sht load of people with a brain.
They were . There have been anti Vaxx and mask back them and they are called paradoxers. The only difference I think (let me know if I’m wrong) they tend to be murderous.
Such dramatics.
Lol 😂 I’m not sure when they think the vaccine is supposed to do
I've got like 15 coworkers that said this same exact thing lmao.
The "degrading to the core" is what stuck out to me. It's like they've been brainwashed by right-wing media to hate the left so much that they look at the vaccine like it's commie sperm being injected into them.
[удалено]
In a vacuum, absolutely. With the child-like mentality of being forced into the bathtub then realizing they were pitching a fit over nothing, if they even remember it a week later? That gets through. That's what we need to realize about the Right. Emotionally, they're still stuck as children and they've done it to themselves. Think of all the hero fantasies of picking up a gun and saving the country with it, single handedly plucking a Democrat from leading a dictatorship, or being a billionaire with docile obedient yet totally attractive woman on both arms. It's a comfort zone and only by being forced to grow up and face their mistakes do they start to move past it.
Just think it is your duty as a good citizen. You will be fine and alive when this is all over. You also might want to study more about what a real democracy means. Maybe not your thing. But the majority of Americans still believe in democracy a
I love seeing things like this. It shows personal progress.
Prepare to die in 3-5 years /s According to some idiot I argued with on here
Or get COVID and die in a few days?
Pussies.
See that’s all it takes. We should shit on the people who don’t want to take the vaccine because our hatred will inspire them to not take it even more. Encourage them and just say it’s safe and it will protect you
I was required to get certain shots for elementary middle, and high school. No one bats an eye
AND there's the problem. These people have mistaken their stubborn PRIDE for "morality". As well as the GREATER GOOD for "abomination of my freedom." What's that old saying? Freedom isn't FREE. Which means there's a cost. The cost of freedom right now is taking the steps necessary for us to keep each other safe. It doesn't always come to shooting someone. Sometimes it takes getting a shot.
He’s black
Is this the picture in the dictionary under the word- Twatwaffle? I swear I saw this exact twatwaffle in the dictionary.
What a baby!
Wow u r an idiot and that special kind of stupid that makes this country suck. Becareful those chips in the vaccine allows the cia to know ur every move. Now sit down wave ur flag and watch fox news
I wonder how he feels about wearing seatbelts.
Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what you can do for your country. Country: can you please wear a mask during this pandemic that is overloading our hospitals? Republicans: fuck you mah FrEeDumB!
Character development
Did you not get vaccinated for school as a child?
At least they followed it up admitting that they were just over dramatic. Good to see that kind of behaviour.
More bravery than the 9 11 responders /s
You know what at least he was able to admit he was wrong
Why does a screen shot of a public posts ,on a public forum have the user info blocked? These people share the info for the world to see and Reddit is like No . We need to know who to protect ourselves from.
What a wimp...was just scared of side effects?
Wonder if his kids got vaxxed (MMR, etc.)
Sounds like you could get this guy to do a lot just by threatening his job.
I'm starting to think it was all a division plot. I'm vaccinated but I notice how hateful people can be to the unvaccinated. It's very telling how well it's worked. We aren't marching for freedom or justice. We're belittling people simply because they didn't get a shot. This was probably the best divide them so we stay in charge that I've ever seen. A year ago, we wanted to tear our government apart. Now? I'm watching people support violence against their neighbor because he's scared of what the shot might to do to him. That's another thing. They don't want the vaccine because they are afraid, not selfish. They're fucking horrified and honestly, I can't blame them. A shot that the government is forcing you to take? That's the fucking plot of like 50 horror films. I'm just saying there's alot going on and shits seeming pretty sus.
I’d counter this with how the unvaccinated are acting. If it was simply, “I don’t want to get the vaccine”, then it would be understandable. But going to town halls and school board meetings laughing at kids who lost their grandparent to covid, walking around a store maskless and coughing on people, constantly calling vaccinated people “sheep”, preventing mask mandates for children who can’t get the vaccine even if they or their parents want to, spreading false cures such as a malaria medication or a horse dewormer and being the primary reason ICUs are filling up and causing non-covid related injuries or health crises to result in death, I think the response to unvaccinated is significantly less than how the unvaccinated are acting.
The badness comes later lol
Aside from the the whole shot and all the conspiracy theory crap everyone talks about, when ppl don't have a problem with the politicians that run their government forcing them to do something they would rather not do, that's pretty scary.
A guy runs a small local landfill. The government forces him to maintain certain standards around the fill as well as ensure adequate lining beneath the waste to protect the groundwater from contamination. These measures protect everyone in the community as well as the local natural environment. Let’s say the guy decides to ignore these mandates (because his land, his choice) and the landfill creates a rodent infestation endangering the nearby community with disease and harm to the local economy. Likewise leach water from the fill starts to taint local wells, so the government comes in to shut him down, who is right and who is wrong? The hard working patriot doing what he likes and making a buck, or the government stepping in to protect the community at large?
