Why I'm Not Vaccinated
Newsweek ^ | 11/15/21 | Lisa Boothe

Posted on 11/16/2021 2:02:19 PM PST by george76

I am not vaccinated. In a sane society, a personal decision like this would not warrant a column, or even an explanation. But we do not live in a sane society. As a healthy 36-year-old woman, COVID-19 does not pose a statistically meaningful threat to my life. I have a 99.97 percent chance of survival... when there is an element of risk from the vaccines

...

Biden White House recently broke its previous promise and issued federal mandates

...

what exactly is the point of mandating vaccines that have .. failed to stop the spread? ... the vaccinated are also still spreading COVID.. And why is natural immunity being completely ignored and denied any relevance whatsoever when over 100 research studies have affirmed its effectiveness? .

...

an outbreak that began on July 3 in Provincetown, Massachusetts, involving 469 cases. Seventy-five percent of the cases in that outbreak occurred in fully vaccinated people, and there was no significant difference found in viral loads between the vaccinated and unvaccinated. .. Lancet Infectious Diseases journal came to a similar conclusion, finding that vaccinated people are just as likely to spread the Delta variant as unvaccinated

...

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson .. the vaccine "doesn't protect you against catching the disease and it doesn't protect you against passing it on."

..

Americans have also witnessed an ever-growing list of high-profile fully vaccinated people who have contracted COVID—... Jen Psaki being one of them. In the Senate alone, fully vaccinated Senators Lindsey Graham, John Hickenlooper, Angus King and Roger Wicker all have contracted COVID. .. breakthrough cases.

...

Vaccine mandates do not make sense. But most importantly, they are immoral. The government does not own us. I reject mandates because I believe in freedom.

No one is "vaccinated" against COVID-1984 despite the propaganda and marketing. Some people got a shot but it wasn't a vaccine.

So why the heck did Newsweek publish this?!

Deep State prepping the way for jettisoning the vax mandate...?

This is so selfish—this insane person thinks they own their own body.

They need time in a re-education camp to learn to serve their fellow man.

Perhaps electro-shock treatments would help.....

“So why the heck did Newsweek publish this?!”

to PRETEND to everyone they are “fair” and “not liberal”. There is a certain ratio of 20: 1 that I heard years ago from a lefty journo. Publish 20 anti-Republican articles and ONE pro-conservative article.

I just received a survey from Viking River Cruises asking if I intended on cruising again. I’ll just print this off & send it to them along with a comment: When you get rid of your ridiculous vaccine requirement I’d be happy to travel again!

Tell them to rename themselves the “Joseph Mengele Cruise Line” until they get rid of the vaxx requirement.

The vaccine helps protect the vaccinated from dying, but it does not protect the vaccinated from either getting or spreading COVID. In other words, it seems clear to many of us that the vaccine is a personal health benefit, not a public health benefit. Therefore, whether to get vaccinated is a profoundly personal decision, not a public health decision.

That never occurred to me, but it's a very good argument.

That's why they used to keep George Will as a "house conservative." He's retired now, and working as a lawn jockey.

F’ the gene therapy and all the political science that pushes it.

In a sane world people follow real science not political hacks that instill fear and propaganda.

Unfortunately the majority of Americans don’t have the balls or brains to use common sense. They bow down to their brainless leaders and do what they are told.

Pathetic at best.
