Thank you.

I take vaccines because I don't want someone to say..."Did you hear that guy got offed by something he coulda prevented? What a moron!" Or have some new variant kill me off and it gets named after me... all sorts of very silly/selfish reasons!
hohohoooo
What do we expect?

My parents were in their late 70's when covid hit - they both took the vax as soon as it was available. They were around when polio was a thing and "they" didn't ask - they came to the schools, and everyone got the shot, fuck your feelings. They remember what it meant to have something that could save you, so no argument. My brother on the other hand...Maple Maga and probably would've been in Ottawa back when those mothertruckers were faking their misplaced outrage.

I'm not annoyed they die. I'm annoyed they are plague rats. I have started calling them Typhoid Mary in online interactions and if I ever hear it in real life I'm wondering how it is going to go over because I will keep saying it.
ArkoneAxon
To be fair, Typhoid Mary kept working as a cook because she HAD to. There weren't many jobs for an Irish woman at the time. Mary Mallon could have worked in other industries or been provided for - like other asympomatic carriers were. But they failed to do anything for her, so she ended up infecting people while trying to survive.
It's something to think about, in regards to how little was done as far as economic relief for everyone during the lockdown and afterwards.

"My immune system is strong."
You know how immune systems get strong??
By dealing with bullshit. You deal with little bullshit so that later you can deal with bigger bullshit. Vaccines are 'bullshit'. Viruses are even BIGGER bullshit.
MrStealUrMeme
You can have the best immune system on the planet, but the HIV/AIDs virus is still going to kill you (without big pharma keeping you alive everyday). Sometimes people think they are so smart, that it makes them invincible.
ArkoneAxon
I actually thought about this the other day, about HIV. I remember what Chris Rock said about how they would never cure aids. Too much money in treatment. He was predicting - back in the 1990s - that we'd get to a point where people have HIV and live more or less normally, as long as they keep paying for the medication. "Man, my AIDS is acting up today!"
1stDrunkJoe
I got my COVID vaccine as soon as it was available from the VA, my wife also a vet. refused to get hers but thankfully she agreed to let our kids choose for themselves and they chose to be vaccinated. She had COVID at least 4 times, I got it once, and the kids didn't get sick at all.
DocTanner
A big part of the problem is that vaccines have been _too_ effective. The vast majority of people have no concept of how fragile life used to be. The "you're not stronger than a virus" doesn't land because they didn't live through a time when 25% of people didn't even survive childhood. They think they're safe from serious disease without actually understanding why.
QuantumInc
Notice how his belief about vaccines is based on his estimation of his own "strength" and how (for men) that ties to self worth. You cannot argue against that without also implying he is weak, (immune system and generally). I think you see overlap with MAGA because they are also tying their beliefs into their ego. I think "identity fusion" is the technical term.
McFrazzlestache
I beg anyone who disputes virology and epidemiology to just take a casual stroll in any cemetery. You can literally see the child mortality rate written in stone. Vaccinate. Also, if you're so sure, write a paper, get it peer-reviewed, and collect your Nobel prize. Otherwise, sit down and shut your bitch ass up.

Lesbian couple had triples after invitro. They were born 4months premature and spent close to a year in the hospital. 1 died at 11 months old. The other 2 are home. 1 needs a heart surgery that only 2 surgeons in the country are skilled at. That baby needs 24hr care. The other one has severe medical problems as well. "They are God's miracles". How do they even remotely get to that conclusion?

It drove me nuts, my FIL wouldn't get the shot because "I don't go anywhere".

I worked the entirety of covid in the ICU. A little part of me died day by day, month by month. When these people were informed that they were going to need to be intubated - and that it was quite likely that they were not going to survive even with the tube - it was not uncommon for some of their last words to be a request for the vaccine.
DrNicholasRivierA
I remember here in Coeur D Alene, ID one of our mega pastors was on air during COVID, yelling it was a hoax, faith in Jesus would heal you, Fauci was a terrorist, etc.
The minute that fucker couldn't stop coughing we checked into the hospital, was soon on ICU, in a ventilator, and unfortunately survived. The minute he got out he was back to thanking his faith Jesus, saying masks were a plot to destroy the USA, etc.
I always wonder how many people he killed and profited from.

psmith00
give them a different argument that they might understand. they have an immune system, sure do. it's like the sheriff or the marshal. they have deputies, all the little cells that go around looking for the threats and try to take them out of action. what's missing? the wanted poster. that's what the vaccine is, the wanted poster telling the marshal and his deputies what to look out for. it doesn't replace the immune system. it warns the immune system what to look out for. try that.
OozyRatInASanitaryZoo
When I told my dad we were having a baby girl he cried with happiness. Two years later he still hadn't met her because his girlfriend refused to let him get the COVID shot.
He finally got it, and has flown here to meet her a few times, but he won't get the booster. And now he can't fly because of complications from shingles, because he didn't get that vaccination either.
jimicus
To be fair, the chicken pox vaccine is relatively recent. Wasn't a thing when I was a kid.

And ppl have to pay out the ass for a shingles vaccine because capitalism, even though shingles can happen in young people.

"In Ontario, the shingles vaccine, including Zostavax and Shingrix, is typically covered by the government for individuals aged 65 and older. **For those under 65 or not eligible for government programs**, costs vary by pharmacy or provider. Private consultations may cost between $50-$100, while the vaccine itself ranges from $150-$300 per dose." https://virtueskinclinics.com/how-much-is-the-shingles-vaccine-in-ontario.html
ArcaneM37
Long before covid my nephew died of the flu. He had gotten the flu shot that year. My mom, his grandma, got angry and didn't get the flu shot for years. She was a nurse. She knew the stats on effectiveness. She knew he would have died with or without the shot and possibly faster without it. It wasn't until her hospital started requiring it of nurses that she got it again. I still don't understand her logic. Why blame the shot? It tried.
TheBreadTurtle
healthcare workers are a mixed bag. sure, they SHOULD know better, but some nurses are dumb, some doctors are dumb, some pharmacists are dumb, etc. sometimes they're smart overall but dumb about certain things. sometimes they're really smart about some things and dumb about others. sometimes the smart parts makes them oblivious to their own dumb parts. i don't think anyone can be smart about everything all the time

I don't even think that's a conspiracy. I think that's just plain fact. Someone is funding the tens of thousands of antivax bots.
ArkoneAxon
You might be right. The IRGC has been relying on a social media campaign to distract from its human rights violations and assorted evils. Corporations are CONSTANTLY astroturfing for whatever their latest product is. Though I do have to ask if you have any theories as to who would be funding the antivax bots. Why would they do that; what do they hope to gain?
Karilyn
It was in the comment I was replying to. Russia or China would be the most likely sources of the anti-vax bots. But it's not impossible it's someone else. But, like your example of the IRGC, generally speaking, mass amounts of bots seem to usually be part of government campaigns.
ArkoneAxon
No, my question was: WHY? What would Russia or China hope to gain? The only theory that comes to my mind is that China wanted to deliberately maximize the number of deaths of U.S. civilians.
sturmhauke
Anyone who's not in extreme denial knows that Russia has been actively using propaganda against Americans for years, because they want to destabilize us. China is more of an unknown, although they certainly also profit indirectly by taking over markets when the US pisses off other countries too much and their citizens stop buying American goods.

"My immune system is strong."
Anyone saying this does not know what a vaccine is.
Vaccines don't fight the virus. They teach your immune system how recognize the enemy so your immune system can fight it.
Thats it.
Used to be we killed the enemy virus and showed his dead body to the immune system so they could recognize it next time. Sometimes we needed a live enemy but weakened to a safe level to do the job. That was a bit more dangerous as the enemy was still alive.
prcal
2/3
Covid. We don't even show the immune system a dead enemy body. Not even dead body parts. No virus involved. We are showing blueprints of the virus protein spikes so the immune system can see what they look like without any exposure. The immune system is now ready to recognize it should the real thing show up.
Its the safest a vaccine has ever been.
marsilies
Just to be clear: the COVID-19 vaccines, ultimately, show the immune system "body parts" of the virus, namely the spike proteins. The "blueprints" we send inside trigger normal cells to produce COVID-19 spike proteins. The immune system then sees these spike proteins and starts mounting a defense, and then remembers. https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/coronavirus/in-depth/different-types-of-covid-19-vaccines/art-20506465
prcal
3/3
The immune system is strong yes. But it will not fight a virus it does not know is a problem until it becomes a problem. At that point you started the fight late.
A vaccine lets you fight it as soon as it shows up, before it gets a chance to build its numbers in your body. Vaccines don't fight. They just show your body what to fight to give you that very important head start.
Redoneter593
Vaccines are the instructional seminar on how to deal with a very real problem before you experience it firsthand and would have to try and figure out what the problem is and how to deal with it while you're panicking and the problem is still doing damage.

I thought I had a strong immune system. I rarely get sick. Like, a sore throat every 6 months or so. It was my belief.
Then I was presented with the gift of becoming an uncle, and the baby would arrive, sick from kindergarden, sneeze into my eyeballs, and I'd be sick as a dog for two weeks. Two weeks was when the niece would return, so she'd arrive, sneeze into my eyeballs, and I'd be sick for another two weeks. I eventually told my brother I loved him and I loved my niece, but after two months
ArkoneAxon
I got the Pfizer vaccine after I recovered from Covid. I have a very strong immune system as well... which is WHY I got the vaccine. I was genuinely shocked that Covid hit me that hard. ME, of all people.
When antivaxers called Covid "just like the flu," I would tell them... they're technically not wrong. "It's Superflu. It's flu that left its parents on Krypton. It's flu that got hacked by a character editor and all its stats set to max. You don't want to fight it without the vaccine to help."

Kids are plague rats. I was on a plane and seated in front of us was a family with a toddler. The kid suckes on her whole hand and coughed that gross open moouth cough they do. Of course I got sick.

Potatoes have great homeopathic benefits, not this but I would accept this since it's harmless and gets the desired task done and becomes superstition.

The virus is alive and natural and can fight off the potatans. But unnatural toxins from big pharma react with potatan and become neutralized. This also disables any microchips that big pharma may have slipped in there. Make sure to keep potatoes away from any circuit boards you care about, btw.

The issue is, vaccines work so not a lot of people have actually witnessed what life was like before that. So we get mass amounts of misinformation about how they don't work because they're not actively eradicating anything. They're doing their job perfectly, so we never have to see it.
khora

Another big part of the issue is, putting your fingers in your ears and going "lalala" is 99% effective.
So most antivaccine nutjobs experience no personal consequence for not vaccinating.

This is one of those things that sounds right but I suspect is somehow complete horseshit.
We all have the same resources (mostly, I know there's socioeconomic disparities). It didn't take my SIL ending up on oxygen (She did cause she was "my immune system is strong" stupid) to know vaccines work. And we have experts informing us as well.
The issue is, some people are just fucking dumb and others are manipulative. And these same people remain dumb in the face of experience.

Even worse, vaccines work amazingly well, but you need to understand some pretty subtle statistics to really appreciate this fully. Some vaccinated people will get ill and die, and many unvaccinated people don't get ill, or get ill and survive. That's the anecdotal evidence people see in their immediate surroundings.
GuMaiChaiFarangWoi
This!!!! My cousin got polio as a child (remote area); while he survived, it seriously disabled him for the rest of his life and although he did his best to keep trying it has been fucking rough dude. The fucked up thing is the vaccine had been around for some while, at his time of birth, just not available there due to it being a low income, remote area. Nowadays when i see anti vax stuff i get so triggered. "No public health safety for me, hope youre not immuno compromised"- cunts
GuMaiChaiFarangWoi
Like, you dont even realise how much cuz and fam wished it had been available to them. And these people now just ignornantly turn their nose up at medical care, unaware of how much privilege theyve experienced to simply be in a position where they can a) decide to reject this care, b) know that if they get "the disease" theyll still have access to care, and c) be so far removed from any of the diseases, that no one theyve ever come across has has any of them.

As an autistic person, my takeaway from that whole thing as a reason for vax hesitancy is that even before we get into the whole Obviously It's Bullshit thing, even if it wasn't, the overall message is "I'd rather my children die than be like YOU." and like first of all WOW, and second of all, fuck you Karen.
lostinthoughts
What might play into this was how autism was perceived. In media, it was mostly screaming children who bashed their heads against walls and were nonverbal. Others were just deemed "they are the way they are".
