  1. Peter Kent, “Wearing a filthy, germ infested mask all day every day” boosts your innate immune system and improves your lung strength bro. Isn’t that what the antivaxxers want? To boost their innate immune system?

  2. Myth Tree, The adverse reactions are pretty much fever and a sore arm. Most people don’t report anything, because it’s not a big deal.

  3. Myth Tree, Your claim that “they aren’t being recorded well”, you’re referring to VAERS. And I agree. Once anyone is given a vaccine, they should be entered into a database and after that every interaction with a hospital should be recorded in the database as well. Everything regardless of whether the patient or doctor believe it’s related to the vaccine or not. Then it should be up to scientists to determine whether the vaccine are causing those side effects or not. But this is only the United States. There are thousands of other countries that have their own systems for tracking these things. Many of their systems are not as flawed as VAERS. Many countries have a single payer system where everyone is in a single database. They can easily track everything. One example is Israel, who negotiated early access to enough Pfizer doses to vaccinate their entire population in exchange for sharing their medical data with Pfizer. They basically turned their entire country into the world’s largest clinical trial. Israel is just one country. There’s no way so many countries would be using these vaccines if there was a problem.

  4. Myth Tree, If the vaccines in Chile are actively increasing illness, why is the case count dropping?
    2
  5. Myth Tree, They did a trial in Israel. They vaccinated almost everyone, and the pandemic there is going away. All they need to do now is vaccinate the last few people, and require proof of vaccination before entry into the country.

  6. Myth Tree, None of these vaccines effect your genes. They are not “gene therapy” as the antivaxxers like to call them.

  7. The virus didn’t come from a lab, and of course labs need to be careful.

  8.  @piked261 , It’s more like vaccines and previous infection saved us from Omicron. Before Omicron 95% of the UK already had antibodies. Now it’s 97-98%. Almost everyone is immune already.
    2
  9.  @tamar5261 , It’s not much if a risk to the 97-98% who already have antibodies.

  10. Are these the side effects in the vaccinated and previously infected or the side effects in the immunologically naive? Before Omicron 95% of the UK testes positive for antibodies, so the majority have some previous immunity.

  11. There are likely a lot of antivaxxers following you, and if you tweet about a poll, they’re very active at sharing and participating in the poll to skew the results in their favor.

  12. Is Omicron really reinfecting people already?

  13. Regarding vaccine immunity fading in 4-6 months. Well, it depends on which vaccine… "Data collected from 18 states between March and August suggest the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine reduces the risk of being hospitalized with COVID-19 by 91% in the first four months after receiving the second dose. Beyond 120 days, however, that vaccine efficacy drops to 77%. Meanwhile, Moderna’s vaccine was 93% effective at reducing the short-term risk of COVID-19 hospitalization and remained 92% effective after 120 days."

  14.  @lilbaz8732 , We don’t really care about T-cells or antibodies. All we really care about is whether we get sick or not. Measure antibodies or T-cells is just a method to attempt to predict the likelihood of getting sick. It’s better to try to predict these things and act in advance rather than waiting for people to get sick. But we have the data available and the Moderna results tell us that immunity can last, while the Pfizer data tells us that if you got 2 doses of Pfizer, you need a 3rd dose.

  15.  @alexdevcamp , The drop in efficacy against what? Hospitalizations? Deaths? Mild symptoms? Or asymptomatic infection? It’s kinda important to know, because we don’t really need to worry about mild symptoms or asymptomatic infection.

  18. Just because half of the children have already been infected doesn’t mean we shouldn’t protect the other half. We don’t know what the long term effects of infection are. Alarming Study Finds Cognitive Deficits in Those Who Had Even Mild COVID Cases https://youtu.be/5aAbvSoBVpE

  22.  @spocksdaughter9641 , You seem confused. The vaccines are extremely safe and very effective… Seems like you need to catch up on the research. Coronavirus Vaccines vs. NON COVID-19 related deaths (New Data) https://youtu.be/zkVsXOZguLg

  23.  @barbaraneville5036 , Yes. I already said that UV destroys the virus. Sunlight is able to destroy the virus in 2-3 minutes while indoors the virus can remain viable for hours. Still has absolutely nothing to do when viruses reproducing.

  24. Yeah, but their all protected against severe disease by vaccination and previous infection, right? Hospitalizations are 90-95% lower than they would be otherwise, aren’t they? At least they are in South Korea where they have now reached as many cases per capita as the United States, but have 1/10th the number of deaths.

  25. “Slight positive” ???
    1
  26. Well, while cases were increasing, people got scared and started being more careful. But then when cases started decreasing people probably thought the pandemic was over, and started slacking off. Also, didn’t they just end all Covid related mandates over there?

  27. John Hill, All the vaccines contain the same spike protein and cause the same antibodies. Obviously they’re all the same.

  28. John Hill, Sinovac works fine. Not as effective as Moderna or Pfizer, but neither is J&J or AstraZeneca. All of them are effective at reducing sickness, hospitalizations, and death. And I have no clue what article you’re referring to.

  29. John Hill, Here’s where I get my numbers from. I also read scientific papers and watch scientists, doctors, and others who read science on YouTube. https://91-divoc.com/pages/covid-visualization/?chart=countries-normalized&highlight=Seychelles&show=highlight-only&y=both&scale=linear&data=vaccineFully&data-source=owid&xaxis=right&extra=Chile#countries-normalized

  30. John Hill, Looks lie Seychelles is just under 65% fully vaccinated right now today. That means there are about 30,000 unvaccinated right now who could still get sick. Chile is at around 40%, so there are still many there who can get sick. Also, none of the vaccines are 100%, so until the virus is eliminated, we’re always going to have some vaccinated who get sick.

  31. k s, Intranasal vaccines sound great, but they’re not here yet. If you’re waiting for them, you’re nuts.
    1
  32. k s, And, you can’t “still catch it and pass it on” bro. That’s nonsense. They Pfizer vaccine is 89.4% effect at stopping the spread. Moderna is likely similar. And sure, the vaccines aren’t perfect. Duh.... But they’re a whole lot better than not being vaccinated.
    1
  33. blue knight, Nope. It’s going to be eradicated, because the vaccines work, the antivaxxers will get infected and become immune, and the S1 site on the spike protein won’t mutate enough to circumvent the antibodies.

  34. billy bobs, HAHAHAHA!!!!!

  35. Myth Tree, Serious effects are very rare. Less than 1 in 100,000.

  36. Myth Tree, One problem they have is people who are vaccinated believing they are 100% protected the instant they receive their vaccine. They’re not doing a good job explaining that it’s only 95% effective and only 2 weeks after the second dose. So what seems to be happening is that the vaccines are making people less careful too early. Also, 70% vaccinated with a vaccine that’s 95% effective is not enough for herd immunity, so it makes sense that people suddenly being less careful should cause a spike in new cases. They don’t seem to even be trying to explain these things. There’s a lack of education. They experienced exactly the same issue in Chile.

  37. Myth Tree, Iceland is pretty smart. They’ll likely make vaccination mandatory for entry into the country.
    1
  38. Myth Tree, There won’t be any effects after 2 - 3 years. After a few weeks the immune response is over, and the vaccine is gone. All long term effects, including immunity, shows up during that time.

  39. Alan Cameron, As long as the antivaxxers stay the hell away from me, and they don’t increase my taxes or healthcare costs, I really don’t care about them. But as soon as their stu pid ity impact my finances or put my friends or family’s health in danger, they need to be dealt with. Maybe if there’s an outbreak, they should have to pay the medical costs for everyone involved, and compensate everyone who’s relatives are impacted by their ig no ra nc e.

  40. tim webb, You’re quite wrong bro.

  41. tim webb, Do you realize that many survivors end up with permanent damage to their health? Do you believe that the 20% who are hospitalized suffer no lung damage? Why do you think they were hospitalized if the virus wasn’t damaging their bodies?

  42. Johanna Dodd, They obese and diabetics can pay extra for their health insurance just like the antivaxxers.

  43. Nat VW, Do you actually believe that N95 and N100 masks are made of asbestos? Are you insane?

  44. Nat VW, What you’re talking about is complete nonsense. N95 and N100 masks have been around and in use for over 30 years. They are safe and effective. If they weren’t, we’d have known years ago. I have no idea where you are getting your nonsense from and don’t really care. It’s complete nonsense. Probably some antimasker BullSH!T you found on some dumb antimasker website or something you saw some dumbA$$ say in a YouTube video.

  45. Nat VW, Sounds like that paper you’re referencing is complete nonsense as well. It was probably written by some antimasker id io ts pretending to be scientists.

  48. Nat VW, Your problem is that you can’t tell when something you read was written by a mor on. You should look up Dunning Kruger.
