Here's a scary thought more scary than your platitude.

In 5-10 years, we might find that everyone that got the vaccine does die like everyone dies.. except they die several years earlier than average.

What's funny is that the narrative early 2021 was everybody getting the vaccine would die within a year. I'm happy to have survived it.

That was maybe the crazies narrative on some Qanon site. I'm sure that was repeated often to make anti vaxers look insane. But for most anti vax people the narrative was "we have no idea if it's safe long term, and at the rate they seem to be pushing this on pregnant women right away, kids asap and apparently infants soon, I don't think I can trust these people."

I can't honestly remember or repeat what all the fringe doctors and researches, but yes doctors and researches, have said to convince me of my views.. but enough was said that you couldn't get me to take the vaccine for $100k, and I'm no tech millionaire.

Not to stir the pot too much, but the much more prevelant narrative was "Everybody not getting the vaccine would die within a year"

I heard that very often from my old college friends. And it made me laugh considering during 2020s harsh covid, media said half the people that get it don't even have any symptoms... And then when the vaccine came around, I was apparently going to die if I got it without the vaccine.

Apparently the nuance between some people can't even tell they got it, some people have a mild cold, and some people die got lost on some people.

Even bill Maher showed that democrats were over estimating death odds by almost 20x, while republicans it was about 3-4x I think.

Arent we getting record excess deaths in 2022 or did I miss something?

Thanks for saying the quiet part out loud. That makes it easier to follow up with this was disingenuous of you:

  I'm not implying anything.

I don't see how my own personal views matter in regards to what I said.

Even if I was pro vax, and had every booster under the sun, I could still just as easily post about how people on all sides of the covid spectrum have their own anecdata points... And bring up my coworker worried the vaccine is unsafe because his vaccinated and boosted boss, that seemed perfectly healthy, died in his sleep last week and now he's wondering if it was the vaccine.

Sure you could just as easily post whatever, but you're not. Whoever called you coy wasn't giving you enough credit. You're propping up your worldview (one that's not supported with a shred of evidence) with innuendo.
