No.

Taking a chance.  Clearly the vaccine is saving many from being admitted to a hospital and being put into the ground.  That's the choice, the rest is just a bunch BS you all want to listen to.

I don't know - I've never had Covid.  My immune system is too powerful to even allow the virus to enter my body.

You seriously walking around with this attitude?  I also hope your immune system keeps covid away from you.

He sounds like a few conservative radio hosts I've been reading about on Twitter over the last year or so. May they rest in peace.

Yeah - I'm in my 30s and haven't spent my life smoking camel non-filters and eating fast food.  I'll be fine.  Thanks though.

And there's also a small chance of having a serious adverse reaction to the vaccine. Everything has risks. There's also been hundreds of thousands of "breakthrough" infections for people who have taken the vaccines, hundreds of thousands of hospitalizations, and tens of thousands of deaths of vaccinated individuals. All risks and there's no guarantee it'll keep you from dying of Covid.

Not sure what your specific health has to do with the effectiveness of a covid treatment. Its probably, like most of your original thoughts, irrelevant. You should go back to piggy backing off every Kz says. While it does make you look like a simp, at least you won't have to try so hard.

My co worker is in great shape in his 30's and is fighting for his life.  It's the wrong attitude to have.  There's not much else to say is there?

I'll take my chances with the vaccine Kz.  I think you are exaggerating the Number of hospitalizations and deaths among the vaccinated.

I feel like a laid out a pretty solid rationale for why a lot of people aren't interested in taking the vaccine while you called me retarded and bizarrely claimed I was vaccinated for some reason.  

Because you are. And I gotta say, this charade where you act like you haven't been yet to score some sort of bizarre political points with other random idiots is pretty F'ing weird.

Don't get covid, don't need treatment.  I would have thought that was obvious.

OK man.  Why don't you tell us again how you're "retired" from your job as shift manager at Wendy's while your wife brings home the bacon?  LOL

Nope, feel free to look it up. The data is likely an undercount as well.

If true, your coworker is an extreme outlier and incredibly unlucky.

A person not needing a specific treatment has no bearing on the overall effectiveness of said treatment. That's like saying antibiotics are not effective because a person without an infection doesn't need to take them.

 

In other words, stop arguing with such intense stupidity.

Because people are hesitant to take something for a condition they don't have. But they will take everything under the sun to cure something after they contract it.

An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure? Some folks won't prescribe to it.

I agree alternate treatments are important. I feel we've reached a brick wall where vaccines are concerned.

This. People won't take a free vaccine because they aren't sick and would rather listen to idiots.

Once they get sick? Different ballgame.

Therapeutics were always the missing piece to get us out of this.

I'm not arguing anything, idiot.  I'm just pointing out how hilarious it is that all these pharmaceuticals keep telling us how effective all these treatments are, and you idiots keep lapping it all up.  First it was that the vaccines were 90+% effective, then you needed a booster, then a second booster.  Now there's a pill.  LMAO - it's never going to end.

Chemical operator. Good job, long hours and very physical work.

And wife doesn't need to bring anything home as she works from home as director of quality for, coincidentally enough, a pharmaceutical company that is developing vaccines.

I posted an article in the appropriate thread, Slappy. One scale from one to triggered, you get triggered extremely easily. But keep ranting, it's always fun to watch an excited little lapdog hopping all over the place like a ****.

lol wtf? Anytime this dude actually tries to engage, he comes off as completely handicapped. This is why he probably sticks to being an obnoxious pest most of the time rather than actually discussing things.

This is quite the departure from Kz lauding paxlovid earlier this morning. Now it's back to being a big pharma scam already? Sounds like you guys need to realign to make sure you're both on the same page going forward.

Yeah, they forgot to send a few PMs back and forth before posting and didn't get their stances straight.
