The deadly COVID vacine

[Brainstormy]

Out of the over EIGHT BILLION doses of covid vaccine that have been administered, there have been 55 deaths attributed to it.
That’s a mortality rate of 0.0000000625% About the same danger as being bit by a rapid gopher. Just saying, RFK.

[MineralMan]

1. How does one measure the speed of a "rapid gopher?"

That's what I want to know.

[underpants]

3. European or African?

[MineralMan]

6. Well, I'm only familiar with North American gophers, so...

While it would be interesting to know about how fast those others go, I'm more interested in American gophers.

Problem, as I see it, is that they spend most of their time in tunnels underground. That would make the velocity measurements difficult, I'd think.

[Evolve Dammit]

14. not much "air speed velocity" there I'm afraid, regardless of origin...

[ProfessorGAC]

18. But, They Can Run Above Ground

So now we have to do separate set of measurements.
What a nightmare!
Geez, you opened up a can of worms.

[druidity33]

35. They're also known as whistlepigs...

because when they zoom past you their teeth make a whistling sound.

[ChazInAz]

47. Hard to fit a coconut into one of those burrows.

[Brainstormy]

24. I won't edit my post

where would be the fun in that?

[JoseBalow]

25. "where would be the fun in that?"

[AllyCat]

48. 🤣😂

[AZ8theist]

49. Winner with the Monty Python reference!!!!

[Brainstormy]

7. LOL

Took me a while to see the typo.

[arthritisR_US]

72. Are the 8 million in your country alone or throughout many countries?

If in your country then the stats must be referring to boosters as well? I would also like to know the age and health status of the 55 who died prior to the Covid vaccine.

[Pinback]

21. I don't have to be faster than a rapid rabid gopher.

Just faster than the guy hiking through Central Park with me.

[Jack Valentino]

70. "RaBid Gopher", I know you mean.... and a wind at that speed COULD KILL

about as many people as the covid vaccine allegedly did---
when calculating a tiny statistic out of several hundred million people...

[Jack Valentino]

71. And they CAN RUN pretty goddamned fast--- once they recognized that

I HATE them for destroying my garden for two years in a row---

Now they recognize me looking out the back window of my house, if I move, and run like hell....



I am organizing my plans for an offensive against them, this coming spring

[Walleye]

2. My friend and myself, we are always joking about forks sticking to us and stuff

Where right wingers really have a poor memory is when they forget their own foolishness and how stupid they looked. Haven’t heard anybody yet say they were wrong about hydrochloquine or ivermectin. Never admitted he was wrong either about it going away in warm weather, etc. Don’t know why his fans tolerate this kind of shit. Aren’t there other right wingers that could take over his party that aren’t so damned stupid? I guess Elon is that person

[underpants]

4. They are sure they (and he) were right.

A House committee issued a whole report on it a couple weeks ago.

[louis-t]

12. Had a guy telling me about the benefits of Hydroxychloro-whatever

just the other day. Right before the original French study from March 2020 was finally debunked widely. Can't wait to add this to my scorn when talking to this guy. Because there was only a few whacko 'scientists' that claimed it worked, they choose to not believe the hundreds if not thousands of others who realized it didn't work. He claims the drug companies wouldn't use it because it was so cheap and widely used (for malaria) that they wouldn't make any money from it. I said what would stop them from raising the price? "Oh, they couldnt do that because people would be outraged." I said that didn't seem to matter when they raised the price of insulin 2,000%. He says the drug companies made more money from the vaccine than they would from a cure. Their argument starts with the mistaken belief that it works and they try to come up with a conspiracy to make it seem believable.

[MLAA]

16. Recently read that Ohio now requires hospitals to provide ivermectin and hydroxychloroquine

https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/5037697-ohio-senate-passes-measure-forcing-hospitals-to-administer-ivermectin-other-patient-requested-treatments/

[JoseBalow]

26. "If requested..."

I am all in favor of this

[MLAA]

41. Great point!

[keithbvadu2]

54. As long as the patient agrees to no liability for the hospital for such forced drugs.

[GP6971]

69. You sound very nice. Have you been lurking DU

all these years? HaHaHa!!!! Bye again.

[wnylib]

5. I Iove it when I get an updated covid shot and

see the reaction of MAGAs when I tell them. I know a couple of them who back away as if they might catch something from me.

[phylny]

53. We just got a Christmas card from a distant MAGA step-relative of my husband

stating they EACH had Covid three times last year, but proudly, "We never got the jab!"

Idiots.

[wnylib]

64. Wonder how much tissue damage 3 infections caused

and how much pride they would have in the results.

[GP6971]

66. Hi Sunshine!! Back again I see. We all know you only

sign up time and time again just to be banned so you can enjoy DU's world famous pizza. As you know we are open 24/7/365 so enjoy!!

[brer cat]

67. ...

[milestogo]

8. You're more likely to come down with a brain worm.

[70sEraVet]

40. What exactly ARE the chances of getting brainworm?

I never heard of anyone getting one before, outside of some weird TV show.

[milestogo]

42. More than a billion people have one.

The prevalence of brain worms varies by type of parasite and location:

Cysticercosis
About 2.7 million people worldwide have cysticercosis, a parasitic brain infection caused by a worm. In regions where pig cysticercosis is common, about 10–20% of the population has symptoms. In the United States, about 2% of emergency room visits for seizures are from cysticercosis.

Toxoplasmosis
The parasite that causes toxoplasmosis, a common parasitic brain infection, may infect over 40 million people in the United States. Most people infected with the parasite don't develop symptoms, but people with compromised immune systems are at risk of serious illness.

Brain-eating amoeba (Naegleria fowleri)
There are only a few cases of brain-eating amoeba in the United States each year, mostly in the southern states.
Brain infections caused by worms and other parasites are more common in low-resource countries and rural areas. Exposure to these parasites can occur when traveling to areas where the disease is widespread, such as Asia, South America, and some parts of Africa.

[70sEraVet]

43. Uh... thanks. I guess.

So I've found something new to worry about.

[milestogo]

44. People get these parasites by eating undercooked pork.

Poor food hygiene.

[70sEraVet]

45. I guess the vaccine would be .....

Going to synagogue!

[3Hotdogs]

9. Yeah? Well fuck me. But if you're # .00000000000027?

Thank God we have Little Bobby to worry for us.

[OverBurn]

10. I've now had 4 COVID shots, still breathing.

[louis-t]

13. Oh, but every little ache and pain they get

they blame it on the one shot they got in 2021.

Oh, by the way, they all "know someone who got the shot and the next day they died".

[ProfessorGAC]

20. There Was A Video Here, Last Year....

...around this time, that had one of the drones complaining that he got the COVID shots because his company required it. He said "...and I still caught the fly & a cold " Yep! He got 2 illnesses the vaccine doesn't prevent and DIDN'T get the one the vax is for. And that was his proof the vaccines don't work! Dolt!
I forget what platform it was on or I'd post it. It was both stunning in its stupidity and a hoot.

[Liberal In Texas]

17. Got you beat, got my 9th dose in November.

I'm still around too.

[HappyLarge]

22. You'll never beat the guy in Germany who got over 200!

He‘s still alive and has his picture posted at vaccine sites to prevent him from getting even more.

[mercuryblues]

60. She who has no friends drop in to tell a lie

[mercuryblues]

63. oops I guess she did it again

[paleotn]

29. I lost count.

[recovering_democrat]

33. Yep Every year. They worked too.

Covid, Flu, etc., etc., back since childhood savings of all the childhood and other vaccines marvelously invented then and since.

[beveeheart]

11. What's the percentage of deaths

for people who didn't get vaccinated?

[boonecreek]

15. According to Johns Hopkins

the U.S. mortality rate was 1.1% as of March 10th of 2023
when they stopped collecting data. It doesn't break down
vaxxed vs. unvaxxed. Here's the link.

https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality

[beveeheart]

34. Thanks

[boonecreek]

46. You're welcome.

[miyazaki]

19. Overheard a local firefighter discussing half the vaccine recipients

have died as a result of the vaccine!

-This occurred in the post office. If even remotely true, we couldn't burn bodies fast enough, just as in the times of the historical great plagues.

Support your local fire department I guess.

[paleotn]

28. Morans! There are morans in our fire departments.

What complete idiots.

[waterwatcher123]

23. Wait until the Bird Flu becomes a pandemic - (incompetence will reign again).

[paleotn]

27. Not sure what the probabilities are of being bitten by a rabid gopher....

but I do get your point!

[druidity33]

36. A rabid gopher may not get you...

but a rapid one sure will!

[paleotn]

37. Ha!

Good one.

[JoseBalow]

31. Cool story bro

[Swede]

32. Huh?

nt

[rubbersole]

38. Don't tell RFK Jr about the gophers.

He'd fill his freezer.

[Meowmee]

39. Just finally had my covid and flu vaccines yesterday

I have lost track of how many Covid vaccines I’ve had. This might be number six or seven. I ended up getting two together, which I don’t usually do because I get very achy for a few days. Tylenol to the rescue. I am scared of what is going to happen when these wackos take charge.

I was talking to the lady who gave me the vaccines telling her this country is becoming insane and she completely agreed with me. I got them both in the same arm this time so I won’t have two arms out of commission.

In a week or two I will get the new pneumonia shot and RSV. Then there’s still a few others I have to do. I will probably do a booster for mumps/ rubella, and whooping cough, measles and polio and then shingrix. She said they don’t have the polio booster vaccine at the pharmacy so I have to ask my doctor about that. I think I just had a tetanus shot in 2019 so I’ll probably be OK for that but I’m wondering if I should get that too. Just in case.

I plan to be all vaxxed up before anything starts happening to try to stop it.

I am wondering what is going to happen if the new bird flu becomes an epidemic and if we are even going to have a Vaccine available.

Ps. Thanks for the laugh about the rapid/ rabid gopher 😹

[mercuryblues]

61. The point is to out live you

when the zombie apocalypse comes.

[RedArkGuy]

51. That's a heck of a statistic

If I want to use it against anti-vaxxers, what source do I attribute this to?

[keithbvadu2]

55. DonOld took credit for rapid development of Covid vaccine.

[B.See]

56. A mortality rate certainly not as high as

Trump's deadly Covid denials and obstructionism.

[bif]

57. Is a vacine the same thing as a vaccine?

[arthritisR_US]

73. The proper spelling is vaccine.
