Texas doing well

^^ exactly how it should be. No need for the bs "selfish" name calling.

It's pretty clear who is living in fear.

Nice deflection, man

Absolutely, if you are in the high risk category, you should be weighing the vaccine risk.

The pharmaceutical companies would never lie to us https://www.justice.gov/opa/pr/justice-department-announces-largest-health-care-fraud-settlement-its-history

Ya not sure he quite understands the distrust of the african american community against vaccines. The vaccine mistrust is for a good reason. Stan van gundy had an excellent response in an interview about this a few days ago. I'll see if I can find. .. As far as being selfish..... it's just weird to me that so many (non at risk) people are rushing to take the vaccine. Vaccines have a typical 10yr trial period. You are now participating in a vaccine trial. https://www.historyofvaccines.org/content/articles/vaccine-development-testing-and-regulation So we all of a sudden develop a vaccine for a coronavirus that we have never vaccinated against in record time using a new method? Hmm, just seems like being cautious about it should be the common sense thing to do. Not being "selfish.".

Weird, maybe I missed it, but the 1200 person survey you linked just lists republican men as the top (not just white). It is well publicized that there is a high percentage of ; healthcare, nursing home, prison, military and other front line workers are refusing. African Americans; https://www.webmd.com/vaccines/covid-19-vaccine/news/20210202/black-vaccine-hesitancy-rooted-in-mistrust-doubts "New CDC figures show that of those who have received at least the first dose of a vaccine, 5.4% are Black people, compared to 60% who are white people. According to recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll, about 35% of Black Americans said they don’t plan to get the vaccine, citing fears about safety and concerns that the vaccines are so new." You are correct, I am in the anti COVID (china virus) vaccine at this moment, thanks.

Ouch, quite the reference to African Americans, Latinos, health care workers, military, police and those who chose not to.

Fear mongering. The fact that you have to be scared into taking the vaccine or promised "freedoms" should tell you all you need to know.

Awesome! Doesn't the virus only attack when you're standing up?

Glad to see more states returning to normal.

Lol. Unfortunately true, I wasn't saying it was..

You should proof read. We have to move past needing so many guidelines and overanalyzing them. We've done this for a year. You want to stay home, stay home. You want to interact with other people, then do it. You want to wear a mask, then wear one or two or 3. You want a vaccine, good take it.

Time to take the training wheels off and let people think for themselves.

O look, some "freedoms" are being returned...

Shh orange man bad in this thread...

Does that statement not seem bizarre to you at all? Our data is from what...8 months? Isn't a typical vaccine trial and approval process many years?

You should stop lumping vaccine conspiracy with covid vaccine questioners. While there's probably alot of general anti vax crossover, many are questioning the covid vaccine specifically and for good reason (mixed messaging, rushed development, side effects, low covid mortality so why bother?). There will always be sheep and there will always be those who question and don't follow along blindly. Just because you choose to question shouldn't put you in the Q category, or a certain political party affiliation.

I never said scientific studies, I said there's plenty out there to question the covid vaccine safety and effectiveness. Safety, meaning side effects, which is in the below one of many articles. Effectiveness, meaning the unknown....can you still get covid, can you still transmit covid? https://kutv.com/news/coronavirus/covid-19-vaccine-side-effects-deaths-the-lack-of-information-on-how-where-to-report

I am not questioning other vaccines, and have no issue with them. All I said was there was plenty to counter the safety of this vaccine ( side effects) etc. I am not going to google that for you.

So just for questioning something, you're automatically associated with Q now? Lol.

Exhibit A of how the divide in this country is just getting larger.

There is plenty that question the effectiveness of the vaccine.

Definitely an odd response. I simply said there's plenty of literature that goes against your literature regarding masks and the covid vaccine (not vaccines in general).
