Setting aside your bull#### 99.7% stat (I guess over 100% of NYC got infected), what's the mortality rate of measles? Or Rubella? Or Varicella? Or Mumps? Or HPV?

I feel terrible for you going into threads like this. You must die a little inside when you see the same arguments being trotted out time after time, despite providing data to defeat said arguments

Stonehouse got her shot on April 21. Almost immediately, she felt stiff and sick, Lowenberg said. She felt increasingly unwell and developed an unbearable headache.

On April 29, with her symptoms worsening, she called Health Link but was told she was likely dealing with a normal vaccine reaction, Lowenberg said.
Later that night, her daughter drove her to the ER at the Grey Nuns Community Hospital in southeast Edmonton, Lowenberg said.
Her head was throbbing, and she was weak and vomiting. Stonehouse was sent home to rest, Lowenberg said.

On April 30, her daughter again drove her to the ER, this time at the Strathcona Community Hospital in Sherwood Park. She was admitted. A CT scan showed a blood clot had formed, triggering a fatal bleed in her brain.

Stonehouse was transferred to the U of A Hospital, but in the ambulance she suffered a seizure and was intubated, Lowenberg said.

The following day, she was taken off life support.
2 days, 10 days; basically the same thing. Or maybe you just read and misinterpreted the 1st line in the article about your "friend":

The first Albertan to die from a rare blood clot condition linked to a COVID-19 vaccine was turned away from an Edmonton hospital two days before her death, a family friend says.

One again, no one talks about building a stronger immune system or even better treatments. It's all about just getting the jab. If you are scared of Covid or at risk get the shot if you want, if your not scared or at risk, do what you want.

Do you all think everything the governments have done has been 100 percent about your health?
Honest question: What do you think the government has to gain here?

Say the government is doing this for nefarious reasons, and the ones that do what they say are rewards and the ones that question their decisions are punished... let's just pretend that's true... for a minute.

If that is true:
- Why are you worried about the vaccine? If listening and getting the vaccine gets rewarded, what would be the reward? And if the vaccines is as dangerous as you believe it to be... how is killing people a reward?
- What is the motivation for governments to do this, outside of health?
- How is this being coordinated between every single government in the entire world, and why?

Referencing the Bill Burr segment here, but why would governments all over the world provide a vaccine intended to harm or control people who are already willing to follow directions from the government, while sparing the people who are not willing to follow directions from the government? Wouldn't it be in the government's best interest to do the exact opposite, if this was for control?

And, to play conspiracy theorist, isn't it just as possible that the government has planted distrust around vaccines and disbelief in COVID within anti-government circles in order cull that population? Isn't it possible you're the ones being manipulated in order to reduce your population?

I hope more and more businesses, venues, and countries enforce vaccination mandates. That way I can enjoy watching these proud and noble warriors slowly entomb themselves brick by brick in order to protect their freedoms while voluntarily surrendering their rights to participate in society.

Still possible but extremely reduced.
Does that not matter to you? Are you looking for 100% elimation of spread or no bother reducing spread at all?
What if it's a 99% reduction, 90%, 80%?

What's the magic number where it would be worthwhile to get the vaccine and reduce infections across society?
Honest question as I can't understand this position.

This is the same logic people used to roll out to poorly argue against seat belts. They heard of this person who was in a car accident, and the doctor said the seatbelt made their injuries worse, so they twist that little turd nugget of a fact into seatbelts being unsafe.

People are horrible judges of personal risk. Anyone who is afraid of the risk posed by this vaccine should not leave their house, ever. They shouldn't even eat solid food - that's how you choke.

Ignoring how blatantly ignorant your comments have been, I'm personally not worried about getting Covid. I'm sure it'll suck if I get a breakthrough case, but pretty sure I'll be fine.

My kids can't get the jab yet - I'm a bit worried about them getting long covid, but overall, they'll probably be fine. We can be cautious with them and work to avoid exposures, and we'll struggle with those decisions. Kind of unfair that the unvaccinated are causing us to think that way these days though.

But hospitalizations and ICU admissions are rising, and it's because of the unvaccinated. Several members of my family had to have important surgeries and treatments and other medical attention delayed because of the previous covid waves. I don't want that happening to them again. I don't want it to happen to anyone again.

But if the spread keeps happening and hospital beds are filled with the unvaccinated, that's where a lot of the rage comes in. People who are doing the right things are paying for your selfishness and irresponsibility. It's all the unvaccinated's fault.

It's your turn to stay home.

“Building immune systems” is sketchy as hell. There’s not much that’s proven to do so. And it takes time anyway. And treatments are after the fact - prevention is better. Treatment has a lower success rate than vax anyway.

Do you know what happens with a stronger immune system ?? Auto-Immune disease.

The government control one cracks me up. Governments can’t even fill a pot hole in good time and for less than $500 of tax payers money and somehow they’re going to globally conspire to bankrupt nations with lockdowns and the greatest vaccination roll out the world has ever seen to inject most of the population with a secret substance?

So NHL requiring anyone with access to team be vaccinated. Extending vaccine requirements to fans would be the next logical step.

It always amazes me that people don't bother to do a simple Google search for their sources to see if they are legit.

If this guy is willing to lie about his affiliations and title, what else is he willing to lie about?
