       Anyone else not vaccinated against covid (yet)? I never felt the need to get it since I'm not putting anyone in danger (don't meet people much, study from home, wear FFP2 mask whenever I'm in public)I'm especially worried about menstrual issues caused by the vax since my period is fucked up already. 😓

       The oxford calculator tool said that my risk of being hospitalized is 0.0173%, so it's not very likely that I'd take up an ICU bed anyway. (And apparently ICU beds aren't that important anyways, otherwise my country wouldn't have gotten rid of 4000+ of them this past year lol)I just hate that the only reason why I'd have to get the vaccine is because my government is probably going to force me to get it if I still want to be able to use public transportation..

       @pettywoman Is this a pity play? Do you really expect us to feel sorry for your quavering refusal to get vaccinated when Covid 19 has delivered FIVE MILLION of your fellow HUMAN BEINGS to a horrible death???

       @Clariana I'd get vaccinated if I actually had regular contact with other people. But I don't. I test myself weekly and also before I meet up with anyone, which is rare, and I wear a mask. I don't expect any pity, I'd just like to talk to someone who is likeminded, or even someone who had period-related side effects from the vaccine and could share her experience.I understand that it's frustrating to hear from unvaccinated people, especially if you've been personally affected by covid, but please don't let it out on me. I've never been infected and I didn't infect anyone else, and I'm being careful to make sure that it doesn't happen.

       @pettywoman @Clariana My daughter did not have a period for 2.5 months, post-vaccine, if that is the sort of info you are looking for.

       @Hollahollara Thank you for being open about it. I find it hard to talk about in real life because it feels so shameful. Is there anything that could change your mind, like more restrictions or a traditional vaccine?

       @yishengqingwa666 I lost so much trust in my government throughout this whole ordeal. And now that the majority of people are vaccinated, somehow restrictions still keep getting tighter. Do you think that it'll be over soon or will we keep having to face harsh restrictions for years/every winter? I really wonder if the predictions come true that double vaccinated people will count as unvaccinated as well. I always thought of that as a crazy idea but I'm not so sure anymore.Oh and would you take a traditional vaccine, like novavax or valneva? I'm very curious about them.

       @pettywoman @yishengqingwa666 exactly, the more people surrender the more they're forced to surrender still. Demand a sacrifice, normalize, demand a greater sacrifice. It's not care, it's conquest.

       @pettywoman (Sorry in advance for the wall of text.)I have probably had more vaccines than most, considering the work I did as a younger person. An actual vaccine studied on animals first, then humans over a period of time, with functional data gathering, would be more amenable. No drug developed in less than a year’s time. This spring and summer, when vaccination was opened for people who have no preexisting conditions, I literally could not afford to miss time to emergency bleeding incidences that I have dealt with in the past…due to other prescribed pharmaceutical interventions. It was easier for me to isolate, as with you. I did catch covid from my parents, isolated entirely in one room for two weeks. (The worse thing was a four days of fever, fatigue, and nausea.)I would not have sacrificed my daughter to this experiment, but I had no choice, legally. Her physician had the deciding vote bc I was in the middle of divorce mediation. My daughter’s perfectly healthy, runner father has had a bout with either myocarditis or covid, post-vaccination. He is in his late thirties.If the vaccine was efficacious at stopping spread, such an expensive propaganda campaign would not have been necessary. There were no dead in the streets, or even in my neighborhood. Hell, there was not even one covid death in the small nursing home with which I am familiar, or of anyone I know in four different states. And now, after we have sacrificed children’s bodies on the very American altar of pharma profits, American (and other) health authorities admit the vaccine did not stop spread at all, and the testing was shoddy anyway…too many false negatives.The area where I live has ~80% of the population vaccinated, and many of those still caught covid at the end of the summer. Plenty of those people are still scared, some permanently so, but those are tech workers that had the luxury to be at home this whole time. The workers that had to serve them are just out of luck, I guess.I knew one person who died with covid, not of covid. She had bone cancer she chose not to treat bc it was too advanced.Those I know that are vaccinated now admit to me they know covid is spread post-vaccination, but some still insist the vaccination needs to be mandated, and those without need to be socially shunned. That is strange to me, this politicization. I know for a fact our hospitals are not full, and were never overrun; I know people who work in them. So why would the insistence still be there? The vaccine seems a talisman of freedom to those who have not suffered side effects, and do not yet understand that spread is not stopped by it. We cannot mandate by law that people do things to simply live longer, if the numbers even work out to that result for the vaccines on the market now.My friends generously make exceptions for me, but it does not matter. The rhetoric is incendiary, and so many people are seeing the side effects from the vaccines, and the spread continue. I don’t see what an end to this will be, but it won’t be in endless Pfizer boosters for me or my daughter.

       @pettywoman @Hollahollara NOTHING will change my mind. Way too late for that, what with the lies, the CONSTANT and AGGRESSIVE pushing of the jab, the threats and mandate attempts. NO. FUCKING. WAY.

       @pettywoman So this article discusses the declining reputation of efficacy among the popular vaccines, as admitted by the CDC sometime in the last few days. It admits vaccination is more of a treatment to reduce severity of symptoms, not to stop spread.https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2021-11-14/how-long-will-boosters-lastI think now is “cover one’s butt” time for Pfizer execs and all the mandate enforcers, among others. We all wished the vaccines were the magic bullet at stopping contagion, but they have not proven to be. I am sad on behalf of some, and I know there is more disappointment and anger to come.This is why I absolutely do not believe in mandating corporate medicine.

       @Hollahollara @pettywoman I remember when it was "two weeks to flatten the curve - everyone will get covid, but we need to lockdown so we don't overrun the hospital system." Then vaccines started coming out and everyone kept saying "you don't need to get this vaccine. It's just if an individual person wants it to help reduce symptoms if they get covid. It's simple, if the vaccine is a bigger risk to you than covid, don't get it." And now I have family who won't see me because I'm unvaccinated, even though all of us can spread it the same lol. The narrative completely changed, and people keep just letting it happen. They won't even listen to science anymore, not that anyone ever really did. It amazes me.

       @pettywoman I have been double vacced and will be having the booster next week. I know that I will catch covid at some point, everyone will, and I am risk of having a severe reaction so there was no question in my mind about taking the vaccine.I also have immunocompromised friends who have not left their home since March 2020 and I could not live like that either.

       @Hollahollara @pettywoman We were never sold the vaccine as anything but a reduction in symptoms. It's worked.At the beginning the death rate was around 7% it's now around 0.5% that's awesome.Contagion is now only of concern to the unvaccinated because their risk of death is still 7%. For the vaccinated catching it is no more lethal than the flu and they can live safely. Job done

       @LisbonMuse @pettywoman It amazed me too, when the data kept coming out, that the those in my personal life ignored it and kept to the (very vocal!) narrative of never being able to contract covid. It was no longer obsessive scientists and statisticians taking apart the numbers, but more and more mainstream organizations. I would not mind what my friends believed, if they were not so virulent still about the civic “need” to take it, and the punishments that need to be inflicted on those who don’t. I think some of this is a sunk cost issue of ego and worldview–if they believed fervently in this, and in my country why would they not?, they were lied to at great risk. What are they supposed to do about it? They have already taken it and given it to their children. They have already shunned friends and strangers over a medical treatment.There are definitely populations that are more in danger from the vaccine than from contracting covid.My ex-husband fought with me this summer, saying boosters would not be needed. He was offended by the idea of continuous boosters. I am sure now he has changed his tune, and sees it as no big deal, bc of the pervasive rhetoric.I liken covid to oral herpes simplex now. Most everyone will get it and carry it. It might flare up and be debilitating to some, but covid is firmly in our ecosystem now. I hope your family softens their hearts and reads a little about this. It’s your body.

       @pettywoman I will never take this gene altering experimental jab.  I didn't spend 25 years working in medical clinical trials for nothing.I was insulted when CDC changed definition in the ICDO-10 diagnostic manual in March, 2020, to include diagnosis for covid by report of symptoms or assumed symptoms - NO diagnostic code I worked with in 25 years was so WIDE you could diagnosis from assumptions?  .Then, the suppression of information about natural acquired immunity from having the infection.  Unbelievable - NO acquired,natural immunity?  What happened?  And, now, the data that vaxx does not work, the majority of those in hospital now are vaxxed, and they are now requiring boosters on top of boosters? How many boosters will they require?  Israel classifies those with 2 jabs and 1 booster as "unvaccinated".  And, the Facebook crowd who believes their J & J funded factcheckers about this "pandemic"?  Lies.  Stupid lies.  WHO TRUSTS BIG PHARMA about trans, gender medicine, or covid, is foolish.I have never been on Facebook.  I have seen society change.  Friends, family and co-workesr became HOMOGENIZED, it's like their critical thinking was colonized by unsocial media propaganda and memes.  And, most people do not notice how their social media has skewed their world view. Staying in touch with high school classmates and relatives you never even call on the phone?  Worthless.  Fake friends.  I don't want to be around vaxxed, either.Rant!

       @pettywoman These vaccines do not prevent transmission. (Nor do they do a good job at preventing infection, hospitalization or death, based on the most recent data). Even if you were having regular contact with others, you getting vaccinated would not protect them. If someone is afraid of getting sick, the burden is on them to take precautions for themselves, not to bully or coerce others into getting experimental medical procedures. Given the inaccuracies of the tests and the high rate of false negatives, it is very possible you have been infected but cleared the virus without noticing. I’m not sure where the “I have a *right* to be safe from your germs” attitude has come from, but it is absurd given that we live in a world covered in bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites, and not all of them are benign to humans.
