Guess what?
Everything you mentioned--stroke, menstrual problems, cardiac issues--ALL happen with the actual COVID virus too...and they are almost always WAY more common and WAY worse.
The same goes for blood clots.
The vaccine discussion is a RISK-based decision.
You can take a HUGE risk by getting the virus itself.
Or you can take a small risk by getting the vaccine.
Take your pick.
That's the facts, plain and simple. Every single person I know that got the vaccine has been fine. I don't know why your personal experience is that SO MANY people have had these issues, but studies (
independent studies too, not funded by the pharma companies) show that the vaccine is WAY safer than the actual virus.
It is just so unfortunate that people fail to consider the big picture. The fact is that the virus is much worse and much riskier than the vaccine is. Yes, there are some risks to the vaccine too, but it is actually really fucking safe. The chances of complications are extremely low, whereas the chances of all kinds of issues from the virus are extremely high. Here's a small little slice of studies and data to back that up, out of hundreds and hundreds of other studies supporting my case:
The risk of blood clots if SEVEN times higher with the COVID virus than with the actual vaccine. That is a retrospective study of over half a million COVID cases.
They've autopsied people who had COVID and found blood clots "in almost every organ" in the body. The heart, lungs, brain, kidneys, liver, and more. There have been some cases of clots in people who got certain vaccines, but NOWHERE NEAR anything like that.
The virus gets into every organ in your body, it gets into your brain cells, which is part of how it increase the risk of clots, strokes, hemorrhages, etc.
There is concern it could increase the risk of Alzheimer's and other neurological diseases.
Anyway, the fact that so many people are either scientifically illiterate, or they just choose to trust social media posts and talking heads on the news more than actual scientists who've dedicated their life to studying these things is truly saddening. I choose to read the studies myself, think critically about the data, and make an informed decision, ON MY OWN. That is the definition of not being a sheep--which the right wing seem to despise so much. Yet so many of them are the biggest sheep of all, living out their lives following the heard in an echo chamber of anger online, or just parroting the opinions of talking heads on right-wing news channels, thinking they are so smart because they have an opinion on something--when in reality they are just too closed minded to even consider an opposing viewpoint and have likely never even
skimmed the abstract of an actual scientific study for themselves.
Alrighty. I'm done here. Peace y'all. I hope everyone has a great day filled with the seeking of knowledge and exercising their critical thinking skills to learn new things and expand their perspective of the world!
