In 1955, a pharma company erroneously prepared 100,000 doses of Salk vaccine with live virus instead of dead ones. Those doses caused 40,000 cases of polio. Sources: Wikipedia and some documentary I saw on PBS.
I have zero concern about the vaccine. I have major concern about politics and the federal government. The truth seems to be optional with many of our leaders which is a major cause of mistrust and misinformation about this vaccine. What President Biden is doing and his tone is very divisive. Yes, this country is one of the lowest vaccinated countries per capita among the industrialized nations, so I hear from a doctor friend. But for extreme politics and but for extreme political views clouding facts and common sense, this effective vaccine would have been a non issue. In fact if not for politics, this vaccine would have been widely accepted as a godsend. If, for example, this vaccine would have been for the flu and had been as statistically effective against the flu as this vaccine is against covid, this vaccine would have been hailed as extraordinary and someone would have been receiving the Nobel prize. President Biden had a real opportunity to be open, to be honest, to be humble and admit mistakes along the way with this pandemic, in short to create trust. But, he failed. He failed in his leadership and in his leadership team with Dr. Faucci. It is sad, really. The political division and poor leadership in this country has blinded people of both parties to truth, goodness, science, common sense, brotherly love, and many other virtues that seem to be dwindling.
^^^I totally agree^^^
It began when the Democrats attacked the vaccine as being unsafe because the Trump administration had fast tracked it and mainstream media backed the idea to help get rid of Trump. Then when the Democrats won the election they discovered they had baked themselves a huge turd sandwich that they now had to eat.
I was in Mexico recently and ALL the citizens would do anything possible to receive the vaccine, but it was not available like here.
One other item I don't see on the news is many Mexicans crossing the border illegally are doing it to obtain the Covid vaccine. Many cross over, get the free shot and cross back. I think it's stupid we're not giving our unused doses to Mexico and instead letting hundreds of thousands of doses expire on shelves because of the political fear created in the US. It also seems that it would be in our best interest to vaccine our neighbors before sending millions of doses to some shit hole. In Africa.... This vaccine clusterf**k is all from poor leadership top to bottom.
YMMV
I don't understand the position taken by BasinCruiser. Please educate me about the apparent "swastika" image in your above post.
Millions died in the 'flu epidemic just after World War I, all over the world. Millions also died during the "Black Death", centuries before in Europe (and before the Americas were invaded by the Europeans).
The Covid19 epidemic (pandemic) is similar, but we now have the medical technology to limit and reduce the impact thereof. Is that not a good thing?
It’s not relative to the availability of technology. It’s relative to the mandate by the puppet in chief empty suit currently occupying the White House forcing upon millions of people a medical procedure that they either take or lose their job. In the name of ‘public safety’, the government has taken over all aspects of our lives at this point and deprived us of basic human rights- right to open and operate a business, right to go to church, right to go to the beach or park, right to assemble, right to speech ( via willful tech companies). With this vax mandate, now we’ve lost the basic right to self liberty and control over our own body/ we don’t even have the right to decide if we want to have a medical procedure performed on our own body or not.
i don’t understand. How can the Supreme Court upholds Roe vs. Wade behind a made up right of personal privacy between a woman and her medical provider, but I don’t have a right to privacy of my medical condition relative to medications forced on me?
I think it's interesting how attitudes about vaccines have changed in the relatively short amount of time that Covid has existed. Prior to Covid most conservatives were overwhelmingly pro-vaccines.
Now, there is a huge faction of conservatives that can't even be coerced with incentives or even threatened to take a vaccine that has been proven to reduce illness and death against a virus that is running rampant through the population.
Not only that, but prior to Covid there used to be a very large faction of liberals who were diametrically opposed to vaccines who are now the loudest and most vocal proponents of getting vaccinated against Covid.
Regardless of your stance, it's a really interesting societal shift.
Yes. These are the messages this administration is giving out at the exact same time.

ahh...you’ve made the assumption that it’s been proven to do anything. There’s the difference right there.Quote:

I’ve decided to take my chances against something I have absolutely no fear of. I just read about Biden’s 100 employee mandate...I wonder how long it’ll be before they start picking off individual contractors such as myself and more importantly, what’ll come next?Quote:

The only previous vaccine concern that I am able to recall was the three in one shot (measles, mumps, rubella?) that was rumored to cause autism due to the presence of mercury in the serum. Something like that. Imus raised the issue often on his program. Parents were obviously concerned and wanted answers. Don't recall it being a political football.
On another note, I was exchanging a set box at the Spectrum store. Person in front of me wasn't wearing a mask and the clerk wouldn't serve her. I offered her a used mask that was out in my car. For half a second she considered it, but then gave me an eye roll and walked out of the store.. The clerk said it was kind of me to offer. I don't think the clerk was being sarcastic.

Where's the assumption in that statement?
The “assumption” IMO, is that the “cure” for this virus is proven to be the end all be all...just commenting on what you wrote. Also...who says that “people’s attitudes have shifted dramatically?” The so called news?Quote:

You thought if you took the jab, you would meet the government and tyrannicals requirements and be done with it? How then could the pharma companies continue to make billion$ if they didn’t come up with the need for another treatment?

There is a new flu shot every year. Anyone that was paying attention could have told you that a new COVID vaccine would be needed every year too. We're already seeing that the current vaccine is proving to be much less effective against the delta variant than the one that it was designed to work on.
I'm just waiting for people to wake up and realize that it's not going to go away. It's just going to be a thing every year, and it'll just be a thing we have to deal with. We really just need to get back to living life and ignoring all the tyrants. They do not have your best interests at heart. They are only in it for the money. It's in their best interest to have us all be sick and falling apart. That way, we need their stuff, and will have to give them our money forever.
Fake news. :roflol:

Imagine getting the vaccine to fly, and then not being able to fly because the airline employees aren’t intimidated enough to get it.
