I never got vaccinated.
I didn't even come close. And don't know anyone who did.
Thank God all my family and friends are on the same ship.
All ready to defend the little ones to the end if pushed that
far. And it was so easy to see they could. In fact I wonder why
they didn't go all the way? Nothing was stopping them that I
noticed. And they had at least half the country behind them.

Would you kiss the egg?š¤Ø
No but I'll take an egg nog and something a little more on topic toots.
Did you like what Joe Rogan was saying? Do you think his observations
were accurate? If you're repressing feelings of ignorance I suggest you
just let it go right here right now. You'll feel much better I promise.
Maybe Jimmy Dore suits you better.
Replace NYC with a town on the SW coast of England, and your quoted words could be my own.
I never got vaccinated.
And I only know a handful of people here in NYC that are unvaccinated. I trust those people in ways that I cannot trust others.
If you rinse the sand out, you'd be more comfortable. Lighten up, geezus...

Conspiracy theorists are still mostly nut-jobs.
They'll tell you that the vaccines kill, while stuck in the daily traffic congestion.
Dude just let it go.
Not everybody wanted to. That's the only thing that matters. Whether it had risks or was 100% safe, people have their own will and it's not up to anyone to tell an adult what steps to take into their future.
You are wrong for refusing to acknowledge the free will and agency of your friends and neighbors.
Bro, we all want to like you. You make it hard.
Use this time to reflect on your draconian wet dreams and reevaluate your relationship with yourself and the people around you.
Merry Christmas.

All while the ones that believe itās perfectly safe keep their heads buried in the sand and ignore the consequences itās had for many others. Crazy world, right?
And if the Polio vax approval gets revoked, then you no longer have a choice of prevention of the disease, anymore. What great freedumb you guys have instigated!
Different types of polio vaccines
Siri's petition focuses on the inactivated polio vaccine, which has been used in the United States for more than two decades.

What is crazy is the suggestion that you have no idea of numbers, but believe that somehow this means that there have been numerous deaths.
What there was, was a media beat-up, based upon the rants of anti-vaxxers.
The study, published in Vaccine, confirmed previously identified rare safety signals for myocarditis and pericarditis after a mRNA vaccine (Pfizer and Moderna) and Guillain-BarrƩ syndrome and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) after viral vector vaccines (AstraZeneca).1
There was a statistically significant increase in Guillain-BarrĆ© syndrome within 42 days after the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccineā76 events were expected and 190 events were observed (observed to expected ratio 2.49; 95% confidence interval 2.15 to 2.87). A statistically significant increased risk of CVST was also observed following the first dose of the AstraZeneca vaccine (OE ratio 3.23; 95% CI 2.51 to 4.09).
The study also confirmed significantly higher risks of myocarditis following the first, second, and third doses of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines as well as pericarditis after the first and fourth dose of Moderna vaccine, and third dose of AstraZeneca vaccine in the 42 days following vaccination.
As well as these known risks the researchers also identified a possible safety signal for acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (AEDM) and transverse myelitis with both viral vector and mRNA vaccines.
I have always been in support of the vaccines, but we didn't need to elevate risks among the young/healthy needlessly and you can blame Biden and liberals for all that.

It's always amazed me as we haved passed through the massive propaganda we all experienced during covid lock downs and mandates so many people still equate those who were/are apprehensive to taking the covid vaccines-over and over-as anti-vaxxers.

From your link.

Irregardless of what you think of the pros and cons of the different polio vaccines, what the petition was referring to was just one type- Siri's petition focuses on the inactivated polio vaccine. So "Kennedy and his lawyer" don't want to do away with the Polio vaccine, just a certain type of Polio vaccine.

We have a lot more data today than we did at the start. The largest failure was to make the vaccine mandate while not knowing the full risks as these new vaccines were pushed quickly through the safety protocols and phases. Another big failure was how much the left pushed just how good the vaccines were that ended up not being the case. For how long did they push that if you get the vaccine then you cannot get or give the virus to others? The vaccines were not nearly as affected as they pushed that was on the level of malpractice as they just made stuff up to support the vaccines and demonized anyone who didn't want to take it.
What we do know is the vaccine helped many in the high-risk categories who had elevated risks well past the risks the experimental vaccines might create too. When we started to vaccinate everyone healthy including the very young, we pushed new risks on those groups that had very low risk already to the virus. Both of my boys had to get vaccinated to go back to college even after having COVID already with maybe 2 days of only light cold symptoms.
As we have more and more data we get things like this that came out early this year.

In the case of polio, criticsĀ are zeroing inĀ on a vaccine using inactivated, or killed, virus that causes the body to produce its own antibodies against the virus that causes polio and stop it from spreading to the central nervous system.
The virus can still multiply inside the intestines and be shed in the stool. But the risk of continued circulation is low in the U.S. because of vaccination efforts.
The petitionĀ asks the FDA to suspend the vaccine's approval for infants and toddlers "until a properly controlled and properly powered double-blind trial of sufficient duration is conducted."
It claims that the studies FDA cited in its 1990 approval of updated polio vaccine don't properly investigate the vaccine's long-term safety.
And it calls for a warning label stating the vaccine "does not prevent intestinal infection and therefore does not prevent poliovirus transmission."

So the inactivated vaccine that I had decades ago, along with every living human I know, is the vaccine that some nut wants to withdraw from use in the US?!
I don't get that, at all. Surely, of ALL vaccines in the history of vaccines, the inactivated polio one is proven to have saved many lives and misery.
I have major concerns with new mRNA vaccine trials, but the old fashioned polio one that has been going for decades, is as trustworthy as paracetamol ffs!
I hope I've just misread this thread, and there aren't really any conspiracy loons who are calling to stop the long-proven inactivated polio vaccine!!!š±
