By not getting vaccinated, you not only risk your own life & health, but of everyone around you including your family, friends, kids, coworkers or anyone else you come in close contact but especially children who can't get the vaccine yet And people with immunocompromised immune systems that can't get vaccinated. You could have COVID and not even know it because you could be an asymptomatic carrier. According to the CDC, the commonality of being an asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic carrier of COVID that could be spread to other people concluded: "Nearly 60% of all new coronavirus cases may come from people who carry the virus but who exhibit no symptoms of Covid-19.[/b: Overall, the model predicted that 59% of coronavirus transmission would come from people without symptoms, including 35% from people who were pre-symptomatic and 24% from those who never showed symptoms at all." Source: https://www.advisory.com/daily-briefing/2021/01/11/asymptomatic-spread It's understandable to be concerned about the unknown. But this virus was extensively tested by the FDA for over a year. https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/development-approval-process-cber/vaccine-development-101 You might argue it was rushed, but that's simply not true. There will be further tests over the years, and I'm sure they will come back as having no long term side effects. Benefits of Vaccination Outweigh the Risks Serious side effects that could cause a long-term health problem are extremely unusual following any vaccination, including COVID-19 vaccination. The benefits of COVID-19 vaccination outweigh the known and potential risks. (The CDC) https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/vaccines/safety/safety-of-vaccines.html There are currently literally dozens of monitoring programs checking for short term and long term risks. How Do We Know the COVID-19 Vaccine Won’t Have Long-Term Side Effects? https://www.muhealth.org/our-stories/how-do-we-know-covid-19-vaccine-wont-have-long-term-side-effects (University of Missouri Health Care) Their findings? As of now any and all adverse effects and side effects are being monitored by the The Center for Biologics Evaluation and Research, which is overseen by the FDA, CDC, WHO & Dept. of Veterans Affairs. https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/industry-biologics/coronavirus-covid-19-cber-regulated-biologics So far, they're only seeing they have come to discover side effects are quite rare, happening in less than 1 in 200,000 vaccinated individuals. And these are just allergic reactions, which can be easily treated. You're putting a lot of people, yourself included at risk by not getting vaccinated. Just think of all the pain and suffering you'd be causing if you wind up getting COVID and the medical bills (whether you have ensure or not). Think what it will do those people who love you who wish they could have done more to help you get vaccinated and the immense guilt they'll feel. I've had the Moderna vaccine personally & everyone else I know has had it and we're all fine and I can attest I've had no adverse side effects and only a slight craving to eat brains.

The science has been completely proven and is ironclad. You have nothing to be concerned about by getting the COVID-19 virus. You've already been vaccinated your whole life. What's different this time? ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- When you were first born your parents had you immediately innoculated against these common diseases: Hepatitis B (2nd dose) Diphtheria, tetanus, and whooping cough (pertussis) (DTaP) Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) Polio (IPV) Pneumococcal (PCV) Rotavirus (RV) Then when you went to public school you were required to get vaccines for the following diseases: Diphtheria/tetanus/pertussis. Polio. Measles/mumps/rubella. Hepatitis A and B and. Varicella. After a student turns 11, they are required to be vaccinated against meningococcal meningitis. You have to get vaccines when traveling overseas to some foreign countries, such as: diphtheria, tetanus, pertussis, measles, mumps, rubella, varicella, poliomyelitis, hepatitis B, hepatitis A, Haemophilus influenzae type b, rotavirus, meningococcus, human papillomavirus, and pneumococcus. Source: https://www.medicinenet.com/do_you_need_vaccinations_before_traveling_abroad/views.htm More than likely these vaccines saved your life & you never even realized it. You were lucky not to live through the plague, the times of cholera where there were thousands of people lying dead in the streets & never have had dysentery, or the Spanish flu (which the COVID death rate has already surpassed) and especially polio and simply take it for granted you won't get these diseases when it reality it was government policies made before you were even born to keep you safe & alive so you can live your life in full and in safety from those common diseases. Currently, at the time of this writing there are 813,000 people who have died in the US. That's more deaths that the Spanish flu, the Vietnam War and even the Civil War which saw 750,000 dead. It's understandable to be concerned about the unknown. But this virus was extensively tested by the FDA for over a year https://www.fda.gov/vaccines-blood-biologics/development-approval-process-cber/vaccine-development-101. You might argue it was rushed a little, but in a situation where there's a global pandemic, we needed this IMMEDIATELY. There will be further tests over the years, and I'm sure they will come back as having no long term side effects.

It's okay to ask questions, but when you go around spreading unfounded conspiracy theories that were dreamed up as mis/disinformation, asking for COVID cards, or otherwise just being an anti-vax pest, I will have something to say about it. https://v.gd/DenyfromDeathBed: 'I don't have COVID': Doctor says some COVID patients deny virus, decry vaccines from their deathbed (USA Today) *** https://v.gd/99PercentUnvaccinatedDying: More than 99% of recent COVID deaths in US involve unvaccinated people, a 'sad and tragic' situation http://hrpyqtpeueznvudzs7j4j7guvorl4uiinrbxzwxi6pv5ienbmwdzniad.onion/covidvacvsunvac.png Clearnet link: https://ibb.co/7p9Hrwm Covid Hospitalizations by Vaccine Status Bar Graph Like how do dispute those statistic and still think it's a good idea not to get vaccinated? "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few." "The good thing about Science is that it's true, whether or not you believe in it." - Neil deGrasse Tyson Response to COVID Card Dealers: --------------------------------------------------------------------- Allowing the sale of fake COVID-19 cards is reprehensible and demonstrates the complete moral bankruptcy of the seller. When a person engages in the act of selling fake COVID-19 cards, his mindset is the same of a murderer because this person is a narcissist & sociopath and has no sense of right or wrong. He has no concern or compassion for his fellow man, shows no remorse for his actions and feels no connection to other human beings. He doesn't have to be concerned with his actions because he might be selling it to he'll never meet. So, sit on his comfy couch counting his money, while the person he just sold the card could be out there getting people sick. It's this all consuming greed that drives him & nothing else. Did you know that all printers sold have a secret series of characters that can only be seen with UV light and can identify you if you're printing these cards out yourself? https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/household-printers-tracking-code/ Not to mention selling fake COVID-19 cards is a federal crime for the fruaudulent us of a US government seal and is punishable by 5 years in prison? https://www.wusa9.com/article/news/verify/its-a-crime-to-use-a-fake-vaccine-card/65-9048e946-0b33-4e94-8853-b44690afbca5
