The Covid virus has morphed in the last 4 years and is no longer nearly as deadly as it was initially. I don't regret at all taking the vaccine when I did, but I'm not sure it's necessary at this point. Covid isn't as bad now and the vaccine was developed for the strain of Covid that started nearly 5 years ago.

Concerns over the dangers of the vaccine are grossly overstated. If you introduce ANYTHING into your body it can kill you. We have athletes die every year in the south because they got overheated and drank too much water. The water dilutes the electrolytes in your blood and the heart will no longer beat. That is what killed my Father-in-Law 20 years ago.

There have been a handful of people who were allergic to the vaccine and didn't know it and those people had issues. No doubt some died. But far more people die every year in this country because they ate a peanut, honey, or sea food and didn't know they were allergic to it.

Ain't that the truth. He said "It didn't take much to tweak existing Flu vaccines to match Covid". I don't know much about vaccines but he sure doesn't. The Covid vaccine used the mRNA technology that the old style vaccines didn't. The old vaccines put a weakened or inactive virus or bacteria into the system to stimulate antibodies. I have read about how the mRNA "vaccines'' work and how safe they are but I know too many people that came down with ugly heart issues, palsies, and other unexpected maladies (including death for 3) after being shot up. My brother's Democrat liberal wife insisted he get shot 3 times and now he has had all kinds of heart issues. First it was AFIB, then his heart got really slow one morning and I had to take him to a cardiac unit. The other night he came by and my RN wife checked his BP which was very low.

I'll take my chances without the wonder jab.


Patriotism (and religion) is the last refuge of a scoundrel.
