Thanks

I can't believe millions of people are dead all over the world and people really think its fake, LOL

And some believe that they will get microchip with the vaccine! SMH They obviously did not see how thin the vaccination needles are, and how big is a microchip.

I had my 1st shot end of March, having the 2nd in June.

No, I don’t plan on getting it.
I believe, personally, there are many half-truths with the COVID-19 drama.
No way I believe everything these “experts “ say, as much as they’ve been wrong.

Because I am worried about their health.

And you are not worried about getting COVID?! The new strains coming out of India are much more virulent; the original one from year ago every infected person was expected to infect another 1.4 people. the UK strain is about double, and the Indian is between 6 - 8!. And about 4 in every hundred die. Unless the whole world gets vaccinated as fast as possible, there is a very good possibility of the next mutation will not respond to the existing vaccines, and we will be back to square one.

When the virus 1st started spreading, nobody could know for sure how it is going to pen out. Of course the expert could not be all absolutely right about every deatil of totally new virus. It takes time and research to be sure. The countries that ignored the expert advice are in deep .... while countries who locked down, mandate mask etc.,, like Australia and NZ, are now free of community transmissions, and pretty much free to live their lives within certain margins - no overseas trips without good reason, and 2 weeks quarantine on return.

I’m epileptic, and I use to be on medication that nearly killed me. The side effects alone were terrible. According to the FDA, it was “safe”. Go figure....
I one day told my neurologist (an expert) I was going to throw the medication down cold turkey! She told me I couldn’t live without it, and possibly die of status epilepticus and all kinds of other “expert predictions “.
I stopped the medication, and here I am 15 years later, healthier than I ever was on the medication. Living life and loving it!
Goes to show how much she really knew. And I plan on living another ten or twenty years.

The medical community is all about $$$ imo. It’s a business! Especially the psychiatric department.

That’s just my observations and experience.

Scientists are not clairvoyant; they only go on what in their experience and experience of other professionals is the the most likely outcome. But without modern medicine most of us would not be here. Before antibiotics people were dying from pneumonia or the smallest scratch; high percentage of children used to die in infancy from now preventable diseases. I would not have survived cancer, without modern science. Yet here I am 30 years later.

great, if you are managing your epilepsy without the medication, but obviously there was a reason why somebody put you on it to start with. Going off medication cold turkey can be dangerous; you were lucky.
