Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Shocking Number of Front Line Health Care Workers Refusing COVID-19 Vaccine

There was a statistically significant reduction in infection rates of the vaccine group when compared to the control group. Granted, there's no way to control for random exposure, but 5-6 infections in the group that got the vaccine compared to 40-something (iirc, I don't have the trials in front of me, but we went over them at work) infections in the control group is promising.

That said, we are looking at a small sample size in a VERY compressed timeline.

frantic, frightened sheep not knowing what to do, or where to go for safety.

My wife and I might have had it right after the first shelter-at-home, wear a t-shirt-over-your-face orders were issued. I never went to the doctor or bothered with a follow-up visit to a doctor. We were not very sick at the time.

some folks who value only their earthly existence are terrified some virus will come along and take it away

No frighten or scared. Worked in close contact with many Covid patients. Never missed a day. Never refused an assignment. I am ex navy 8404. 20 years active. If I can improve my chances of not getting sick I will take it.

Apparently not, since you were working around them.

If a person is under 70 and has no comorbidity issues the COVID mortality rate is very, very low...on par with the common cold or influenza.

It were printed on the net it just hasta be true

Wifey’s an RN. She’s working the Emergency Room 3 or 4 nights every week, she tells me she’s probably exposed 3 or 4 times every night.
She’s also had pneumonia twice, so if she gets it, it may well be the end. I pray to God for her safety and protection.
Regardless, she’s not planning on getting the vaccine. She says that it contains ingredients harvested from aborted fetuses, which we both find abortion disgusting.
I can’t say. I ain’t done my homework on this. It’s hunting season and I work for a living.
I’m not here to fault anybody for locking themselves up or wearing a mask or getting a vaccine. If you’re worried about the virus, by all means protect yourself. Do whatever you think is gonna help you.
But don’t let your fear get you thinking that my personal liberty has to be sacrificed for your piece of mind. I believe the government needs to be reminded that the purpose of government is to serve the people, not to subjugate them.

Yes indeed. Albert Jay Nock had it figured out in 1935.

I had a friend undergo a Whipple and according to the docs it went well. I checked in on him several times in the hospital and even if it went well it looked like absolute hell. 12 yrs later he is still alive, it was some kind of pancreatic cancer. He was given 6 months if he didn't let them do it.

Fair enough, my bad.

I had it. I'm 52 and kind of fat, it wasn't any big deal for me, pretty much a mild cold.

I've also know about 20 others that have had it. Most of them were pretty mild like mine. A couple kind of had a rough time but recovered fine. Three died, the last one a couple of days ago. He was about 75 and pretty heavy set, his funeral is tomorrow. The other two were younger, one guy was 52-53 and in good shape, the other was a 38 year old woman with four kids and no prior health problems at all.

You pay your money and takes your chances.

are you a new troll or a retread, guessing the latter

Everyone makes their choices, and if I had any risk factors I would take it the second I could. But I'm just abcout the poster boy for low risk, no bad lifestyle habits, healthy weight, etc, etc. If it were actually possible to visit my mother in the old country, I would probably seriously consider it to reduce her risk -- but trying to get into (and back out of) Europe right now is a joke. So, I'll just sit here and wait and watch, take my Vit. C, D, Zinc, exercise, get a lot of sleep, and go on with life as much as the Gov Goobs will let me.....

Yes sir...absofuckinglutely.

The Emergency Use Authorization (EUA) utilized to move the COVID vaccines forward, was necessary because the usual and customary vaccine prep time is years, not months.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, or so it's said. And, they may be right.

Now, they need time and a large cohort (test population) to fine tune their hypotheses. So, who do you think becomes the cohort? Yeah...

Over time, we'll know how well or even if this experiment worked. So, the usual years to develop a vaccine still holds, exept these new roll outs will be ultimately tested on us.

Edited to add, almost forgot about the billions big pharma raked in over this past year. They gotta be licking their chops....

I'm fine with that as long as the vaccinations remain voluntary only with no penalties for opting out of being a beta-tester.

Thanks for enlightening me there Dr Magnum. Oddly enough though, I personally know of 2 under 70 that have died. Neither had other health issues. Another friends father is in the hospital now on a ventilator and not doing well at all. Have had 2 co-workers hospitalized, one in his mid 40's, other mid 50's. Thats 5 people that I personally know that have died or been seriously ill in just the past few months. I don't know anyone ever being hospitalized or dying from the common cold or the flu.

No, you were fine. I read your post, re-read mine, and, yeah, I came across like a douche.

I'm kinda glad you said something so I could clarify.
