Saying that the shots didn't prevent ANYONE from contracting or transmitting it is speculation.
No. It's science. The people who yall kowtowed to- Birx, Fauci, etc. ADMITTED THEY KNEW it didn't prevent anyone from getting it or transmitting it.
The people you mention getting sick after the shots are still alive I presume.
You presume too much. No, not all of the people I know who got covid after the shots are still alive.
Any chance they'd be dead if they hadn't gotten the shots?
That is a really stupid question that even shamblowmestain isn't stupid enough to ask.
My anecdote is I saw 6 people I knew die of it before the shots & none that I knew in two years after getting them. That's a benefit to me.
That's not a benefit. It's a correlation. You also don't know if they died with it or from it. There's a big difference. The brother of the person my friend knows DID die from it. One of three people I know who were injured by them, and their doctor actually said as much. It's not anecdotal.
Many treatments for many things have side effects.
That must by law be disclosed to those who would accept them.
That doesn't mean they aren't positive treatments.
Being able to run through heavy, high speed, interstate traffic and not dying doesn't mean you're not stupid, and doesn't make it less dangerous. Got any other fallacies handy?
My arm was sore as hell for several days after both Shingrix shots.
Congratulations! The manufacturer would tell you that means it's effective. If you get shingles now, they'll tell you the shots prevented it from being worse. If it's a severe case, they won't say anything.
What about blood-letting? What about thalidomide? What about Vioxx? I can ask about unrelated treatments like a simpleton, too. But it feels wrong and really stupid...
As I said, to each their own.
Oh, by all means. Help yourself. I'm not here to change anyone's mind. I'm just telling truths. It's not my job to convince anyone of anything. It's just information. If people still want to play in traffic, that's up to them.
