I know the bulk of the members here are on the "plus" side of 60, so I can understand the worry and concern about catching COVID. After reading Dennis' post about the J&J vax, I got curious to know how many others here are going to get their shot.

My hubby and I are vehemently opposed to it. Not only because it's experimental and we don't trust the gov or big pharma, but also because we'd just rather take our chances with the virus. We know a lot of people who came down with it, including my 71 year old father, and they barely had the sniffles. But I'm not judging or blaming anyone who has gotten the vaccine. It just feels like those of us holding out are becoming a smaller tribe with each passing day. Thankfully, we both have medical clearance to decline the vaccine. I have a hyper-histamine condition where I have allergic reactions to many foods (one of the criteria that doctors recommended would not do well with the vax) and my hubby has a genetic blood clotting disorder (another condition that does not mesh well with the vax). I do foresee issues with my employer. Most everyone on my team is in the process of getting their vaccines now, and my boss is already talking about bringing everyone onsite at the headquarters regularly for a meet-up. That means flying and travel. I don't think legally they can force me, but I guess I'll cross that bridge when we come to it.

Anyway, what say you? Have you been vaccinated? Do you plan to get vaccinated? Thoughts? Comments?

Nope, nada, nyet. I'm highly allergic to PEG, one of the compounds used, plus other strange reactions to things.

I'd rather take my chances. Was surprised the quack (whom I just fired) didn't bring it up.

Will never, ever get any of these vaccines. My background in the military makes me informed enough to know what to stay away from. There are more than enough over the counter supplements to prevent or moderate any Covid infection and that without long term negative health effects.

These vaccines (air quotes) are approved under emergency use authorizations so you are effectively guinea pigs for the medical industrial complex. You and your doctors have absolutely no idea what is in the injection, you have no recourse against the drug companies as they are immune from lawsuits and these shots are totally unnecessary.

Comes down to having blind faith that the threat/benefit ratio is in your favor with this.

It isn’t.

Global population reduction is a bell weather goal for the globalists and I’d like to stick around for awhile yet. No way are they getting anywhere near me.

The "Vaccine" wasn't made for Covid -- Covid was made for the vaccine! One people realize that, everything else makes perfect sense.

Not a chance in Hell will I get this thing, I don't care who says what.

If someone wants it then that's up to them, good, bad or otherwise.

If you come at me with the needle you'd better have good dental insurance because you'll be leaving with no teeth and I'll have no vax.

They know this 'flu' isn't as bad as they say, yet they're pushing hard, very hard, to get this vax into everyone and now the kids WHO DON'T NEED IT.

WHY!!!!!

Have not yet. Don't intend to. Suppose it depends on how far the coercion efforts get; I've only got so much food stored and may have to go to a grocery store at some point. Because in all honesty, I'd sooner save the stored stuff for when there are no grocery stores, not when Nanny Government won't let you in one.

As we’ve seen documented on this forum since the Kung Flu hit, how severely one is afflicted is ENTIRELY a roll of the genetic dice. Members here know people personally in their 70’s and 80’s who’ve come down with it and had few (or no) symptoms. But others had friends or family in their 30’s and in otherwise perfect health who got it and died. It really is a genetic crap-shoot.

At this point in time I have zero plans to volunteer for this experimental biological therapy. The hubs and I are both in the high risk category and are using the ivermectin plus supplements protocol. I’m comfortable with that for now.

Both of us have medical issues that weigh against getting the shot, IMO. I have a blood clotting disorder and he’s allergic to almost everything ( I thought we were going to lose him last year from a horrible reaction to iv antibiotics)

I didn’t cast a vote because, well...never say never. lol. I don’t know what the future holds and something may happen to change my perspective. Unlikely, but possible.

There’s such a simple solution for this. Even if you’ve eliminated all risks of covid with this vaccine (lol), there remains a 100% chance that you’ll die at some point.

Why not use an online resource to create a legal document that protects your pets? And also set aside a few dollars for their care.

Turns out, no one gets out of here alive.

My dogs can’t read, thus a “legal document” won’t protect them. (Yes, I’m joking, but in reality the devil is in the details.) There is no one to care for them. If there were, a legal document wouldn’t be necessary.

And also set aside a few dollars for their care.

Evidently, you’re better off financially than I.

We had Filas. Filas are not easy to re-home as adults who have come into their temperament. Yet the staff at our vet's office would have fought to see who got them if anything had happened to DW and me. We made sure the vet's office was a second home to them by starting out boarding them as puppies and continuing regular visits so the staff could handle them. Filas hate strangers. And hate is not too strong a word. I have only ever seen one adult Fila that would stand on command to be handled by a stranger. In breed specific dog shows (Filas are not AKC), the dog is not penalized if it bites a judge ....

Even as spoiled as your pups are, Dennis :D, rehoming them should not be huge issue.

I’d never let them go to strangers. Who knows what kind of treatment they’d get? Aja is so “broken” emotionally that any mistreatment would absolutely crush her. Hairy is more resilient. He could bond with someone else eventually. But again, what would the adopters use them for? Dog fights? I don’t know.

Got talked into the first one. Ran a fever and had malaise for 3 days. Not taking the second one. My mom got both, she has RA. Mysteriously, 3 days after her second shot she gets pneumonia, fights it for a month, ended up with pulmonary fibrosis and is now back home on Oxygen. She was immunocompromised because of her RA, she should of never gotten it.

I'm with Tristan - I don't feel like I have enough data to make a cogent decision. Meanwhile everyone I know is running for the vax. I'm currently the only one on my team at work who hasnt gotten it yet.

I'm not terribly worried about the immediate side effects of the vax, but I am greatly concerned about the potential for ADE and the interaction of the current shots with the new variants showing up, especially the one from Brazil.

Right now I'm pretty much a hermit, working from home and not really going anywhere and I'm ok with it.
Since even post-vax I'd have to wear a mask all the time at work (which my asthma won't permit) getting it right now doesn't buy me anything . I can wait, and so I will.

Never volunteer for a trial of anything. They always have to work out the defects. Everything has defects, especially drugs. How many times have they admitted serious/deadly side effects they were aware of from the beginning, years if not decades earlier! ...and you are the guinea pig. They don't care about you

In your situation, you should draft a simple "will" with contact information for your family, your forum co-admins, and wishes for the disposition of your pets and belongings. Leave it in an envelope in a conspicuous place where your landlord will be sure to find it. Might also be good to establish a "dead man switch" of sorts with key forum admin personnel. For instance, "If I don't post on the forum for 48 hours, call me. If I don't respond, call the authorities." It would be the prudent thing to do.

Not taking it. I have a number of health issues plus a history of adverse reaction to a flu shot. If I catch it I may likely die and if I take the shot I may likely have a very bad reaction to it, or not. Either way is trouble for me. So I roll the dice and take what comes. My DW is getting her first jab this morning. Unlike me, she has no history of adverse reactions to anything.

Squonkster, in your situation I wouldn't take it either. I have no history of allergies or other conditions which would preclude getting the vax.

That is the great unknown. We know that older people with health challenges are more susceptible to Covid complications and tend to have a poorer outcome but even the vast majority of these people even if they are sicker than a dog don’t need hospitalization let alone die from it. What we don’t know yet are longer term health effects from Covid and there are the ‘long haulers’ that develop chronic problems that just don’t go away.

And then there are some younger people including children that are totally laid out or even die from the disease process. My niece as an example was in a coma and on a vent not expected to survive and she pulled through and I’m not aware of any pre-existing conditions that would of made her higher risk. So genetics probably do play a big factor here.

I have no problem with personal choice as long as people have informed consent. Problem is the vast majority are getting their info from main stream media and their doctors which most of them work for corporate medicine and are told they must go with CDC stipulations to minimize their own liability.

Now more so than ever people need to educate themselves and be their own advocates as nobody is going to watch out for your own well being than you are.

Just for the record, the J&J/J version is tried and tested tech, the same sort of technology as the flu vax, as MMR, and etc vaxes we have been using for decades, it is NOT some freaky spike protein, Messenger RNA technology.
