Am I the only person who didn't get the jab? This topic isn't made for an uproar of disrespect and such, just wondering
I have my personal reasons just like people have their reason for getting vaccinated.
-
I didn't get the shot either.
-
No we did not get the jab either. And until there is more testing and better results will not be getting it.

The governing body of Gods organization <JWs>has deemed as long as there are NO blood products in them,it is a personal decision.
They still support washing your hands,a clean environment,wearing masks and social distancing.
Prov 19:-20-21 Proverbs 19:20-21
New International Version
20 Listen to advice and accept discipline,
and at the end you will be counted among the wise.
21 Many are the plans in a person’s heart,
but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails.

I am vaccinated and so are all of my family, listen to the people who knows about this, like the CDC. But to each their own. The results are in on testing and we are all fine.

I have received a Flu Shot every year for decades and only had the Flu once, so I have faith that vaccines are tested and proven before they get to me. I got both Covid-19 shots as soon as I could and feel confident they will protect me from those who didn't get any.

I agree 100%
-
I got the vaccines a few weeks ago and I feel a lot more comfortable going out and about. I think it is a personal choice everyone needs to make - getting the vaccine was right for me.
-
I didn't get it still don't know if I am or not. I want to wait. I'm not anti vax but I don't even get the flu shot so I am leery of this one because it's so new. There have been people who have died right after getting it and other serious side effects. I don't know how my body is going to react to it. It's not FDA approved it's still experimental, you can't sue if something happens to you and there's no long term studies yet.
The people I know who got it say they are fine. My brother had some aches and felt a little under the weather for a day after his second shot. Someone else I know said their arm ached for more than a day. When people ask me if I got mine I tell them I'm waiting to see if their fingers and toes start fall off first. My parents always told me never buy a car the first model year they come out because they are still working out the bugs. That's kinda how I feel about it.

The car is a weak analogy, but I bet if you were having to walk 10 miles every morning to get to work and keep from going hungry you might have a different story. If I get Covid-19 at my age (83 in a few months) I could easily end up a statistic. I will take a sore arm over one of those crowded hospital scenes any day.

I have my personal reasons just like people have their reason for getting vaccinated.
I know MANY folks that have not gotten the vaccine, not do they plan to. I did, but I wasnt convinced it was the right thing to do. I mainly got one because we love to travel and I dont want to have to deal with the issues of air travel or quarantining if I dont have it next summer when we travel.
I will say that I had 2 straight days of HELL after getting it. So although a lot of folks have very few side effects, I have severe chills, high fever, nausea, diarrhea, sore arm, headache, coughing, body aches, etc. It was absolutely horrible. I also had a cousin that had a bad case of covid, then got the shot and had bad effects, and THEN got Covid a second time and had a bad time of it. So there are down sides to the vaccine as well as possible protection.
Your choice should be made for yourself, not others.

I am thinking about this vaccine issue, still evaluating the pros and cons...

Yeah I'm like you. I already have BAD allergies and and don't want to take any chances at all. I don't care about going around people anyways so I only take vitamins and eat right. They always have commercials on medications that cause cancer after people have already taken it. One example is Zantac. I just stopped taking all meds like that. I only take Flovent and Albuterol.

Just think about your lifestyle. Your health. Are you a social person? People have actually died after taking this and I don't understand why people were lined up to get this. They are experimenting it on us. that's not fair, it's sad. I want to trust this and I want it to go away. Something just isn't right about this whole vaccine. They are paying people to get it to.
-

It's a blessing you're ok and I hope you remain in good health.

No we did not get the jab either. And until there is more testing and better results will not be getting it.
I'm 100% with you. They are trying to make us feel bad for not getting it. I'm fine with not. I will be ok.
-
I didn't get the shot either.
Please take your time and think about it first.
-
I don't care one way or another if people get the vaccine or not, but good grief... Everyone acts like you're getting the spawn of Satan injected into your blood. It's just a vaccine. Relax.

The sad part is we won't see any post when you drop dead from Covid.

lol So is it gonna protect you from the ones who got it and still get covid? smh

People can only make you feel bad if you let them. No one is going to make me feel bad for choices I make concerning me and my body. If they really believed the vax would work and would protect them they would not be trying to micromanage everyone who chooses not to get it. I really don't care what everyone else does.
-

Your post is all wrong here. You say oh it's just a vaccine and relax. Seems to me the people who need to relax are the vaxxers who are trying to shove this down everyone else's throat. If you take it and it works then you are protected. Do some research and listen to what even the CDC has said. If you take it you can still get covid. And you can still spread it. So what is the point?
Everybody needs to just do what they want for themselves and stop trying to control what others do. If you want to get it then do so. If you do not then don't. Just worry about you. I don't care what others do.

And....when you die from covid because you still get it even after being jabbed we won't see your post admitting the vax done you no good. Maybe do some research. Covid kills less than 2% of the people who get it.

What part of what I said is wrong? I already said I don't care if people get the vaccine or not. I'm vaccinated. My husband isn't and doesn't plan to be. That's fine. My issue is with all the people overreacting about it.
-
Nope haven't got the shot yet. Not sure if I want it. Haven't had no symtom's of covid whatsoever and been pretty healthy. Seeing some if the hiccups with the vaccine just makes me not want it. Some have died by taking it. Others have had really bad reactions to them. There are those who came out fine but thats cool for them. But honestly do i want to put my full trust in a vaccine that took months to get done instead of years when i have no clue what the long term effects could happen to a person down the road? Honestly I don't want to really take something that could possibly kill me in the long term

You say you don't care and then say people are acting like they are getting the spawn of satan and it's just a vaccine. It is NOT "just a vaccine". And I don't know anybody acting like it is the spawn of satan.
I have said multiple times I do not care what anybody else does. The issue is people trying to force their opinions on everyone else. Take it or don't. I don't care. I am not trying to force my opinion on others. But the vaxers are sure trying to force theirs on every one else. IF the v works then if you take it you are protected so why are they trying to control what everyone else does.
It is basically pointless to continue to discuss it. People are not going to change their mind because someone else browbeats them. I have seen a few that have bowed because of something promised by their place of employment. I have also seen where it is optional and the vaxers are harassing the people who do not agree with them or choose not to get the "jab". ::)
I guess as long as your "my issue is people overreacting about it" applies to both sides then I agree with you. But everyone who is choosing not to take this thinks it is something satanic or some of the other stupid conspiracy theories floating around. Goes back to what I already said - people need to take care of themselves and not worry about anybody else.

I know a woman, personally, who had a really bad reaction to the flu shot she got one year. She had paralysis that lasted a while and now she is in a wheel chair for life. They admitted that it was caused by the flu shot she took. I have ready quite a few stories where people dropped dead within 15 minutes of taking the "jab".
-
wont do due to side effects. This is like gettn a half *bleep* product or doing a half *bleep* job. Id rather wait for a vaccine that has no side effects or kinks worked out
-
lets wait until all the test subjects are done telling all the side effects.
-
If you take it you can still get covid. And you can still spread it. So what is the point?
The "point" is the same for the Covid vaccine as it was for all the other vaccines (measles, hepatitis, polio, etc) we've gotten in the past. You are LESS likely to get infected if you have been vaccinated, and therefore, LESS likely to spread it. If you do get infected, you are LESS likely to have severe symptoms, because your immune system remembers how it fought off the virus the first time and brings out the big guns to fight it again. When you have enough vaccinated people, it REDUCES the chance of spreading the virus, because fewer people are susceptible to infection and spread. Then you have herd immunity, which BETTER protects the people who CAN'T get vaccinated or have compromised immune systems.
You also said: It is NOT "just a vaccine". If it's not a vaccine, then what do you think it is?
-

ALL vaccines can have side effects, including the FDA approved vaccines that have been around for decades.

Thanks for breaking that down 1imaginarygirl

I was against it in the beginning bc of my flu shot experience. I always get the flu when I get the flu shot. Therefore, I was afraid I’d get Covid if I take the vaccine for it. I change my mind when I spoke with my doctor and he told me he had taken the vaccine and that I should too. He told me he had lost many patients due to the virus and it was horrible seeing them parish very quickly. I decided to take the vaccine then. Happily, it’s been a month since I received both my shots and with little side effects I’m doing just fine. Now I am protected from catching the virus & everyone is protected from getting it from me! I also, still wear my mask in public especially, when I’m sick or under the weather.

I did not say it is not a vaccine. I said it is not "JUST a vaccine". I am not going to argue about it. I am tired of it.
There have been over 200 people who have taken the vaccine, still got covid and DIED. So I guess the virus wasn't less severe for them.
I am sick of these people crying they can't get the vax but I need to take it to protect them. No keep your tender self at home or take the vax and shut up. If you say you "can't" take it then don't say a word about anybody else not taking it.

No you aren't. Do some research. The "jab" does not keep you from getting cov nor does it keep you from spreading it. If you want to take it that is fine but you do not have this shield of protection around you that keeps you from getting it. You contradict yourself in the few lines you wrote. If the vax works why are you still wearing mask?
-
I took the vaccine so nobody can complain about me not wearing a mask - I am back to living my life like I was before the pandemic. The last 15 months have been terrible.
-
There have been over 200 people who have taken the vaccine, still got covid and DIED. So I guess the virus wasn't less severe for them.
You're a piece of work. You've been saying Covid is "just the flu" this whole time as 3.5+ million people are dying, but suddenly you're concerned about 200 vaccinated people.
I am sick of these people crying they can't get the vax but I need to take it to protect them. No keep your tender self at home or take the vax and shut up. If you say you "can't" take it then don't say a word about anybody else not taking it.
Wow. There's some human compassion right there. ::)

It sounds like you need to do some research, because it's evident that you have no idea how vaccines work.

I got the vaccine..1st shot no problems,just a sore arm for a couple of days..The 2nd shot has been a little different..I got the last one on April 9th..Got a sore arm for a couple of days..Then I got some pain from shoulder to collar bone on left side..The pain has moved from shoulder to neck and back to shoulder..I think they gave it to high and maybe hit a muscle or nerve..I dont know..Dr has done an x-ray..Nothing out of place..Now I see an orthopedic next week..And if he doesn't find anything i get to see a neurologist..It's hard to move my arm..Cant get full range of motion..It hurts all the time..Sharp pains at times..But I still dont regret the shot..I have had a mild case of covid and it's not fun..
-
My dad has a chronic cough so we encouraged him to get better before getting vaccinated. I know of a colleague who strongly prefers to boost his family's immune system rather than getting vaccinated. I feel that as long as most people are vaccinated, it's enough to protect the community.

lol It IS a coronavirus which is basically a type of flu. There is no way to win. You just want to argue anyway.
You say 200 people dying after taking the vax because they still got the virus that it was suppose to protect them from is no big deal ::) I bet it was a big deal to their family.
As for the 2nd comment the point is if you are gonna scream I can't take it because basically I don't want to but I want to force you to take it then you are an idiot. If you need to live in a bubble then stay at home in said bubble. Don't try to force someone else to take an experimental vax to protect you. If you want to be protected then YOU take it.

They are suppose to give it in the muscle.
-
I have also received both vaccines and it makes me feel better about being in public. I am in the high risk group because I'm 65 and have diabetes.
-
I took it because we love to travel and I dont want to be stuck at home or having to quarantine after traveling. I went through 2+ days of absolute HELL after getting the second one. If there was a side effect on the list, I had it. I was miserable. So I fully support folks not getting it if they chose not to. I also support if you want to get one. I just let folks know that I had awful side effects and that I have family that got the had a bad case of covid, got the shot, had horrible side effects with the shot, and THEN got covid all over again.
So it doesnt always really work.

Coronaviruses don't cause the flu. Influenza viruses cause the flu. They are different viruses in form and function. I never said that 200 deaths were no big deal. YOU said the 3.5 million deaths were no big deal because it's "just the flu".
Literally no one is FORCING you to get the vaccine. They are encouraging everyone to get it, because that's how vaccines are the most effective. It's a team effort. The more people vaccinated, the less people get infected. That's why we don't see diseases like polio and smallpox anymore. I thought I was pretty clear in my last comment, I was talking about people who actually CAN'T get the vaccine because of conditions that cause suppressed or deficient immune systems. No vaccines are 100% effective individually, but increasing the number of people vaccinated keeps that percentage higher as a whole. We don't get vaccines just for ourselves. It benefits others too, by reducing transmission to those who are more vulnerable.

The flu is a type of coronavirus. So is the common cold. I never said 3.5 million deaths were no big deal. Nor did I say it is just the flu. It IS a type of flu. Even the CDC said that. Just like H1N1 was a type of the flu.
And yes it is headed toward trying to force people to take the vaccine. There are places of employment where people were told if they did not get the vaccine they would be fired. The CDC has said that the vaccine will not stop you from getting covid. You can still get it and you can still spread it.
You want to be down on me because I have said I am not interested. You also never asked me my reasons. Not that I would post them online. Maybe I "can't" take it either. My point is I am tired of people screaming they can't take it but YOU need to take it to protect me. NO YOU need to take it to protect you.
We can just agree to disagree. I am not taking a vaccine of any kind to protect someone else. That is like saying I need to wear a seat belt in MY car to protect you from a crash in YOUR car.
If YOU take the shot then you are protected so don't worry about the people who do not take it. There is more than a 98% chance or survival if you get this virus so the odds are pretty good you will survive. They have also admitted the numbers have been inflated to incite fear. But you believe what you want to. Chances are we will never cross paths and I am not sick so you don't have to worry about catching anything from me. lol
