Nah, just a cheap insult.

Dude. Get vaccinated as many times as you want. Wear as many masks as you want.
Just leave the rest of us alone.
Nope. Sorry. I'm not going to let this anti-vax nonsense go unchallenged. Not because of you or freeloader, but because you might convince others to not get vaccinated.
You're conflating not wanting to get a specific vaccine with being against ALL vaccinations, which is what "anti-vax" means. Doser is even telling you to get vaccinated, which is literally the exact opposite of being "anti-vax."
As far as I'm aware, no one here is "anti-vax." No one here is saying to not get any vaccine ever.
What we're "anti-" is driving people with fear into being a guinea pig for a relatively untested vaccine for a virus that at worst most likely won't kill them, maybe inconveniencing them for a few days in which they should be quarantining themselves like normal people would, and at best won't show any symptoms whatsoever.
And they would have the right to make that decision themselves, despite your fearmongering.
Thank you for the correction.
This isn't baseless "fear-mongering". You repeating that mantra doesn't make it true.

But that was my question: Is it an actual vaccination, or just an insistence on one particular remedy (like insisting on NyQuil or vitamin D injections)? The current remedies are just brand names and bandaids, like nasal spray or zinc. At least that is the way doctors trying to help me be informed are explaining it to me and why they aren't taking the shot themselves. There are parents not inoculating their kids for measles and polio, but those actually stop the disease. The 3 shots developed do not stop the disease, only make it milder (like the medicines over the counter for the common cold that has no cure). As far as I can tell, at this time from a lot of input, the insistence is like telling someone they have to go by NyQuil or Afrin or they are irresponsible. The worst downside, to me, is that if they ever do develop an actual cure, all who have had these shot may be ineligible to receive it
I simply don't understand you. It's a vaccine! It stops most people from getting sick at all, and the few who get sick don't get very sick, because their immune systems are primed to deal with the virus.

Like the flu vaccine that needs to be taken every year and doesn't work very well at all?
The COVID vaccine works remarkably well. Check the numbers for Israel and the UK yourself.

Again, you have PROOF that is was the vaccine and not other factors?
The controlled studies were done done months ago, as you well know.
What kind of PROOF would you accept?

Got my second Pfizer vaccine. Hoping we're sending all our extra vaccine doses to India.

Again, does 'the shot' stop someone else from getting it 'from' me if I'm exposed? I am reading more reports that say "93%" but it doesn't tell me (clearly) if I come in contact with it, though it may only be mild for me, am I actually safe to be around other people? (From what I'm hearing, "No! Still wear your mask! You can still catch it! You can still give it to people!" (in the news 'reportedly' from doctors).
Facts. Why can't you 'understand' someone asking for facts?
Why are the last 3 doctors and nurses I've talked to not getting the shot? Why did people in the medical profession, people who have a lot of time in on these degrees, say "not now"? WHY do my questions NOT make sense? Are you just wanting to harp on me when I don't get a vaccine or do you want to educate me to make a wise decision? Is there a point to this thread, otherwise?
(I'm perfectly capable of doing my own research and will be doing so, but in the meantime, you COULD have weighed in with what you may (or not) know. -Lon
