why aren't you personally vaccinated?

Well, I think that depends on what you define as young and healthy. I think if you are in your 30s or older, the benefits of vaccination probably outweight the KNOWN risks.

But of course, we don't know the long term risks, and I can't argue with that. Maybe we will all drop dead of cancer in 10 years from this vaccine but I think the odds of that are vanishingly low, so I got the vaccine. Plus I was hopeful it would end this damn pandemic.

I guess the people I wonder about more, who likely aren't posting on a long distance running message board, are all these older/unhealthy/obese/diabetic people who aren't getting vaccinated. They are still dying of COVID in droves. We know that the vaccine reduces the risk of hospitalization and death. Would most of you people who are unvaccinated get vaccinated if you were in this higher risk demographic? And why aren't these people getting vaccinated?

Despite what the media tells you the people who aren't getting vaccinated aren't all 80 year old Trump supporters in trailer parks. The demographic least likely to get vaccinated are African Americans who vote 90+% Democrat.

threads like this are telling...people would literally rather die than have to admitthe libs are right.

in the same way they'd rather end democracy in America than admit that the libs were right to reject trumpism and that the majority of the nation aren't fans of freedumb.

the nation's democracy is pretty much doomed because the Republican Party won't stand up to these freedumb nuts who don't value truth, science and democracy very high. These people are just parasites on the nation and will drag us down with them.

They won't get vaccinated because the libs tell them to. Thats all you need to know.

You ignorant clown...

Kamala Harris and Joe Biden literally went on TV and told people not to trust the vaccine because Trump was in office when it came out.

You don't give a damn about "democracy" you just want power.

Trying to force people to do what you want isn't "freedumb" moron it's tyranny.

Without the "parasites" you idiots would starve to death in a few months.

you flipping liar. You are truly an utter fabulist, a liar, a faker.

Serious question: How does it feel to be a complete liar? I'm just curious.

i just hope you are a troll because otherwise you are probably too stupid to keep a job and support yourself.

harris said no such thing.

she said that she'd take a vaccine that the medical establishment backed.

Harris did not refuse to take the vaccine, nor did she discourage others from taking it, but she said she did not trust then-U.S. President Donald Trump’s vaccine rollout policy or his statements about COVID-19. She said she would listen to medical experts such as Dr. Anthony Fauci, but would not take Trump’s word for it.

prolly you should decline those wrong 'liberal' ideas like social security, a 40 hour workweek, medicare, food safety, workplace safety, securities regulation, universal education, ending slavery, public universities, obamacare. etc.

Just say no and give them back since they are bad things.

I'd suggest Somalia might be more to your liking - less government, more individual rights. Bring a gun, lots of ammo, form a militia, and you will be fine.

Social security is an absolute disaster and has created more poverty than it has ever helped... Thanks to social security the average American no longer has even remotely close to enough money saved for retirement. Thanks to programs like medicare and obamacare the cost of healthcare is now astronomical. Hospitals and doctors couldn't charge ridiculous prices when people actually received a bill and paid for things. Now that it's all government monopoly money setting prices with insurance companies it costs $150 for a bandaid.

The notion that "work place safety" is only a liberal concern is laughable. You leftist morons have a nasty habit of trying to take credit for everything good and ignoring everything evil you do...

Democrats fought to preserve slavery... the notion that the parties just magically switched sides one day is just revisionist leftist garbage. All the racist Democrats died proud racist Democrats...

Democrats destroyed education. Since they tried to "fix it" American children have become morons and the cost of college education has skyrocketed.

EVERYTHING you idiots try to fix you destroy.

Why aren't I boosted? wrote:

I'm vaccinated but a similar question you could soon ask me is why didn't I get a booster? Well my reason is that I'm young and healthy, the second dose I got made me very sick and feel terrible. I'd rather take my chances getting covid which I'm unlikely to get in the first place, and from everyone I've seen who has gotten covid I'll probably be sick for a few days with a fever at the worst, maybe it'll even feel like a cold which was what my wife's symptoms were like. So I choose now to take the odds that I probably won't get covid and if I do it won't be too bad, over forcing myself to get the booster and feel terrible for a full day, and then get another booster in less than a year and do it all over again. Oh and by the way getting the booster still doesn't guarantee I won't get covid, so I'll add that to reasons why I'm not getting boosted.

That's what we got.

you are just a liar. A plain, basically evil, liar.

===========

It has been clear since at least April that vaccination rates in the United States would not filter evenly throughout the public. Older Americans quickly signed up to get a shot (and, of course, were first in line for availability). Younger Americans have consistently been slower to do so. There’s an imbalance that results but, happily, one in which people most at risk from covid-19 are more protected.

The widest divide in vaccination rates, though, isn’t between old and young Americans or between rich and poor Americans or between White and Black Americans. Instead, as has been the case all year, it’s between Democratic and Republican Americans.

Monthly polling from the Kaiser Family Foundation finds that for every unvaccinated Democrat or Democratic-leaning independent, there are about three unvaccinated Republicans or Republican-leaning independents. That’s in a population where each political group is about evenly represented nationally — and it’s despite the two groups being about evenly represented among the unvaccinated back in April.

ok great - trump should campaign against social security. great, let's have that fight. Obvioulsy SS is one of the most popular federal programs that has ever been created, and alleviated massive suffering over generations.

"Democrats' does not mean 'liberal' in a historical sense you flipping moranic idiot of a human being. until the 1960s there were millions of very conservative members of the Democratic party in the South. They didn't like black people then and they still dont like black people. They have stayed morans, but joined the Republican Party since.

You really might be a completely substandard human being. You sure you can feed yourself?

Abstract

"Excess deaths" is a means to estimate the lethality of COVID-19 (directly and indirectly). Assessing "excess death" in closed religious communities provides information on how COVID-19 impacted these communities. We use obituary information published in an Amish/Mennonite newspaper to examine excess death among the Amish/Mennonites in 2020. Our results indicate the Amish/Mennonite excess death rates are similar to the national trends in the USA. The excess death rate for Amish/Mennonites spiked with a 125% increase in November 2020. The impact of COVID-19 on this closed religious community highlights the need to consider religion to stop the spread of COVID-19.

The very first recipient of Social Security paid about $13 into the system and received like $60,000 from the government. When Social Security was created there were more than 30 workers paying in for every person receiving benefits. Today there's like 3 paying for every 1 receiving benefits. Being a liberal imbecile you can't understand that "free sh*t" isn't actually free. If it cannot be paid for it isn't a good idea... Free sh*t being "popular" isn't exactly a revelation and certainly isn't evidence that a program is a good thing.

The majority of Americans who have found out too late that you can't actually live on Social Security alone in retirement would STRONGLY disagree that social security has "alleviated suffering". Anyone retiring after 2040 when Social Security collapses probably won't be too thrilled about never seeing the money they paid in ever again probably won't be happy either.

Democrats give away "free sh*t" for votes. Giving stupid people something free which feels good in the short term works great to get elected. The problem is once you give the free sh*t away it's political suicide to take it away. You short sighted power hungry morons are the reason the country is $30 TRILLION in debt.

And the most racist people on the planet are all in the Democratic party. White liberals have done more lasting harm to African-Americans in the last 50 years than 400 years of slavery managed to do. The only people more racist than white liberals are black liberals...
