34. Do you think those reasons are worth risking your life for?

I got the swine flu vaccine and never ever got the swine flu. I got the 1968 flu shot and didn't get the flu. About 4 million people died from that flu.

Have you ever gotten a tetanus shot? Did you get tetanus? I gurantee you didn't because you would be dead.

Did you get your polio and small pox vaccine? Did you get polio or small pox? I gurantee you didn't.

My spouse got chicken pox as a child. You know what else she got? Shingles at 60. She was in such awful pain. Shingles is the leading cause of suicide due to pain. If you get your chicken pox vaccine, you won't get Shingles later in your 60s.

Yes, Japan has a horror story to tell about 1 kind of vaccine. It doesn't make all vaccines bad.

Here's the thing your "evidence" is nothing but anecdotes and very bad logic. And you are risking your life on this non evidence. You are willing to die from COVID just to prove a point?

I have family members who don't wear mask and pretend there is no pandemic that has killed 800,000 people in the US. You know what they are besides illogical and ignorant? Just damn lucky and under 60 years of age.

They say they don't know anyone who has gotten sick or died from Covid. Yeah, they do because we know the same people, they know at least 5 people who have been admitted to the hospital or died due to Covid. When I start listing the people, they say oh no that was pneumonia, heart disease or diabetes that killed and hospitalized them. You know people you just don't recognize what they had.

But if your willing to risk your life just to prove most of the world wrong, well all I can say is try not to give it to anyone else when you catch it.
