Not AntiVax but also not Vaccinated.thinikng about getting Vax. Where do I find info?

Also, this site is god awful now...so many fkn ads it makes it a pain to navigate...JFL. Ad block doesnt work bc it also blocks ability to click inside the forums SMH.


I already know this is probably the dumbest place to ask but just in case theres not a complete tard out there and actually provides useful logic/info.

Im fairly young, healthy, and have a pretty strong immune system (rarely get sick).

Im pretty sure Ive had covid at some but no symptoms...never been tested...been gyming since its been open and have been around people who have tested positive for antibodies or have had it.

I understand vax isnt full proof and you could still get it but also know that there is much less chance of getting it while being (fully) vaxed vs unvaxed.

If it was just a single shot or just a one time dosage, I would probably do it but now it seems like you may need multiple doses and may need to get vaxed yearly or several times a year.

But now im thinking that there is no long term data for how the vax will affect if this is the case? Having to get vaxed several times? Is there any reason for this to be a concern?

Also, I think if I got the vax now, but then if things settle down in the future and don't get it again then getting the vax probably would have been pointless..although, if there are side effects it really wouldnt matter.

My hesitation is dealing with the vax not being long term tested..like other vax that people get for travel and stuff have been around for decades and pretty well know, not in this case. But also, I think the deaths related to Covid are pretty low...the figures are higher bc the CDC relfects that% on positive cases but theres tons of people who may have never been tested or tests that were inaccurate...so I think the overall death rate for covid is really low....and the deaths related to the vax are even much lower.



For those that held out a while from getting the vax and recently did, what made you decide to get it?

I am not vaxxed. I have a very strong immune system and actively do things to keep it that way. I haven't been sick with anything more than some sniffles or a little cough since I was in gradeschool (minus some food poisioning)

My hesitations are the same as yours. This is a very new vaccine, and pharma and government will say whatever they have to in order to get people to take it. Who knows if it will actually have long term effects? I'd prefer to wait some time so more data is available.

Only thing that will change my mind is if my state starts mandating it to attend public places. We were all called "conspiracy tards" a year ago when we suggested this, but here we are.

I've been hesitant to get the vaccine due to it having gelatin in it. At least several web sights saying gelatin is in the vaccine. I've found further data though saying the COVID vaccine is gelatin free. So for me most likely I'll get the vaccine around the end of the year. I've just gotten over COVID and have read that it is recommended one vaccinate 3 to 4 months later. Personally at this point I'm not sure if the vaccine will be of much help to me. I should have natural immunity which is better than what a vaccine can provide. There is the psychological aspect though. So many other people believe the vaccine is the best and should be taken. So being allergic to gelatin myself, but with the vaccine not having gelatin in it apparently, I'll plan on getting it with a few months for others psychological beliefs.

That's when you should be vehemently opposed to taking the vaccine. If they just told you to take the vaccine because it makes you safer, then I'm more inclined to take it. But when they try taking your freedoms away, you should tread lightly.

I'm actually in the same boat as you. Considered it over the past few weeks but still very hesitant. I don't think it's out of the ordinary that the world would come together to find a vaccine to fix this crisis in such a short amount of time and the bill gates microchip stuff is far fetched. That said, at the end of the day there is not enough long term research. I trust science but not that much. The other side of that coin is that we also don't know the long term effects of the virus itself, which is scary to think about. Either way I'd rather take my chances with getting the virus than making a decision to get the vaccine and regretting it if things go sour. Personally won't be taking it anytime soon.
Do not think that what is hard for you to master is humanly impossible; and if it is humanly possible, consider it to be within your reach.

What’s your age range? I consider myself fairly young at 33, but only because I’m active and have a good diet. Can’t remember the last time I felt run down. But I’m also not young enough that the vary rare, myocarditis stuff that’s affecting mainly mid teens to mid 20’s males, and my parents are old. They’ve vaccinated too, but if I could reduce the chance I was gonna.

I personally waited until just recently too. For me, the amount of time elapsed with such a high volume of vaccinations, combined with my parents, my specific age and the shot I got, which was Pfizer, finally made sense. If you search my previous posts you’ll see that I was staunchly against it. For you, or others you may want to wait a full year or longer. Especially if you’re a healthy, early 20’s male.

If I thought it would end this craziness I would do it right now. However, the fact that it won’t, along with the insane amount of push for it being highly suspicious makes me skeptical. I don’t need it for my health so that’s not a factor. Only motivation would be to get back to “normal” but look at how quickly they’ve pivoted back to pre-vaccine measures. And we also know they’ll expect you to get booster shots 1-2 times/year, which also deters me from it. At this point the only reason to get it would be in the case that you get shut out from society if you don’t get it, and honestly that just makes a part of me want to resist caving in even more. Think about how crazy that is and ask yourself if you want to support that system.

true.

I heard that the J and J vaccine is a lot like the regular flu shot as well in that it works almost the exact same way and does not use MRNA. You may want to look into that one as well. Not a doctor, but I do know that the J and J does not use Mrna and is more similar to FDA approved shots.

Im slightly older than you.

What made you decide on Pfizer?

Do you know or does anyone know if there is info related to each vax? Preferably, I would just want 1 shot and be done but not sure if there are certain reactions attributed to one vax over others.

at this I feel like the chit is going to mutate regardless of whatever the phuck we do. that's what viruses do, vaccinated or not. we're not going to outpace mutations with vaccinations when some random mutation can come from some random chithole. we don't even really know how well the vaccinations hold a year from now. there's a huge contradiction with the media scaring everybody with the delta variant while at the same time reporting 99.999% of people who get the virus don't die if they are vaccinated. It's basically become a casedemic.

cliffs:

- if you are young and healthy, do whatever the phuck you want
- if you are older, or are unhealthy, you should probably take it

still need to put into perspective that it is a comorbid killer more than anything. even old people make it just fine. long covid is a thing but even that is rare and not alot is known about it. but symptoms very from minor fatigue to lung problems.
