Comment on Being afraid of vaccines is literally childish behavior.
bridgeenjoyer@sh.itjust.works 1 day agoNever had a flu vaccine. Theyre pointless to me.
I dont believe the 1 in 50 death rate of covid. There’s no way that is true or we would all be dead.
Also the covid vaccine isnt 1 and done. People go in to get boosters multiple times a year. And they still get covid.
I had to get the jab myself, made me feel awful, still feeling heart arrhythmia from it, still got covid anyways.
Now if I was old or sickly, sure id say get it. But I rarely get sick ever.

On the death rate: in some countries, mortality rate went as high as 5%. To be fair, though, this only takes confirmed cases into account, leaving behind those who never reported a case.

I did get COVID-19 once. It went easy though, and I rapidly recovered after a mild fatigue and headache without long-term consequences. Some of the people I know had long-term effects, like warped smell, chronic fatigie, etc. They were not vaccinated.
Vaccine is not a protection from infection. It’s a pre-training program for an immune system to quickly beat the hell out of the disease before it gets nasty (and spreads violently).
Sad you got side effects, and I understand how it changes your perception on the matter. Personally, my only bad experience is having weakness in the arm for the first two days after the very first vaccine dose. In any case, I hope it will pass rather soon!
