Never got it and I don't regret it. My working immune system has done well thank God for that.

Sadly a middle aged coworker died on Monday. Massive stroke. Dude seemed pretty damn fit and healthy to me…tons of energy. I wish more autopsies were being performed so we'd know if there was a link. But instead, just another coincidence.

I willfully got the Moderna vaccine 3 years ago and even got a booster a year later. I'm done with the vaccine.

Never even considered getting the shot and luckily I have very conservative bosses who didn't even ask. I even brought it up and they said we're not getting that **** so you don't have to either.

Never got it. I told my employer I would not get it. Luckily, the government backed off of their threat of fines to companies who employed over 100 people.

I got covid in January of 21 and started taking ivermectin immediately. Felt 90% better in 12 hours, back to work as soon as they would let me - 5 days.

My aunt and uncle dis-invited me to Thanksgiving in 21 for not being vaccinated. They are HUGE libs. I don't know what vaccine they took or how many boosters, but they got covid again (not sure how many times now) a month ago. She was quick to tell me that they weren't dead because of the vaccine. Ok. Whatever. Science, right?

Anyone who thinks this debate is a nothing burger can **** right off. Seriously, **** you. Tons of us were saying everything that is now backed up by peer-reviewed analysis of the vaccine.

Heart problems, strokes, seizures, major blood clotting issues. Thousands dead, probably many more than thousands, actually, but we'll never know the number.

And mother ****ers wanted to force me to get it, and shame me or cancel me when I didn't.

And ****ing doctors ON THIS ****ING PLATFORM talking about how great Fauci is, and "trust the science", and "vaccinate your kids and pregnant wives". **** you, too. You don't just get to forget and act like we were all in the dark and didn't know any better.

I was posting about ivermectin in the summer of 2020 because that's when I heard about it. I started posting vaccine-injury stuff as soon as I saw the congressional hearing in 2021 that had 20 - 40 horribly vaccine-injured (2 dead) and several physicians calling out the problems with the vax. So many people on texags fought me and others on this, calling us anti-vax and anti-science. They were ****ing idiots, ****ing morons.

And it is them who now want to act like it's no big deal, just a shot. **** you.

2 of my kids were forced to get jabbed to get into college. They both did it without telling me until later, because their mom wasn't worried about it (she's a nurse), and they knew I would tell them not to get it. It pisses me off so much. My ex now believes the vax was horrible, as anyone with a functioning brain cell should.

Luckily my youngest listened to me and didn't get it, but I worry about my older 2 boys. The fact that they were forced to inject something basically untested into their body just to enter college should frighten people. How can anyone justify that? How did EVERYONE not realize that was horribly wrong when it was happening?

Having said what I said above, I hope everyone knows better now. I hereby forgive all those that I was speaking about. I think those people probably don't want or even think they need my forgiveness, but I'm doing it for me.

It still makes me crazy, but it's just poison to hold onto hate and bitterness. God wants us to forgive, so I forgive. But please, those of you who were fighting against freedom, learn from this. Don't support this kind of evil the next time it is tried. And it will be tried again.

Got the initial pair because I care for my 80 year old dad and thought it would help protect him. Never got a booster. And I wouldn't do the initial pair again given we were lied to since it actually did nothing to protect others, which was my only motivation to get it. I'd fake a card to pass what was required at work.

Got first 2 Pfizer and then 1 booster…. Healthy not overweight 57 year old female who exercised regularly. Shortly after getting vaccinated got tingling in both feet. Has now progressed to terrible pain/burning total numbness in parts of both feet. Standing, walking is hard…Neuropathy Sucks!!! No more shots period!

I think this had a lot to do with it actually. I also know medical people who weren't worried about it and advocated vaccinations. One reason I wasn't worried about it.

And like I said above, when we got ours, a lot of what's been proven now (that you ranted about) was, as far as we were concerned, unproven speculation and two sides of a fight with most people picking sides apparently based on politics rather than what we actually knew then.

I'm not sure that's true. They've been proven wrong now, but on day one, nobody had proven anything. It was two sides of a political coin, in my view anyway. And that linked thread demonstrates that.

A travesty that kids were forced into a position where they had to put up with this.

And especially athletes who were in the best position to take a stand, but they jiggled the chain a little bit and then proudly announced that 97% of athletes fell in line.

There were some colleges in the US that threatened enrolled students with trespassing on campus if they failed to get proof of vaccination (no refunds).

Driving by practice fields and seeing cross country runners masked up.

Young people got absolutely dominated with no recourse.

The ultimate in coercion and the ultimate in violating people's bodily autonomy.

Unbelievable what we saw go down.

Didn't
Won't

Best bud from work retired a year after I did.
He ran to Houston to get the shot as soon as he could and got either 2 or 3 boosters. He died of a heart attack last May. He lived alone and they found him when his family asked for a wellness check when he wasn't answering his phone. Maybe it wasn't the shot... but maybe it was.

Based on the passage of time and now knowing that Omicron would become the dominant variant in December 2021, I would not have gotten the shot. Not because I'm worried about the side effects or muh mRnA but because it became pointless when we were no longer facing Alpha or Delta.

I got Moderna shots very early in 2021 (early February and then 2 weeks later) because I was overweight and had high blood pressure and my sister and bro-in-law who are just a couple years older than me got slammed by Covid in October. Bro in law had to be hospitalized.

At the time in February 2021 it was unclear when the virus would mutate again. It was pretty certain that it would mutate and when it did the severity would drop, but what wasn't certain was when, so getting the shots seemed like a good idea and I thought it offered a possible way "out" of the pandemic. When my booster came due it was right around the time that omicron started popping up, so I decided to hold off on booster and then when Omicron became dominant I decided to forego further shots. Ended up getting Omicron in July of 2022 and it was just a bad cold with fever and fatigue.

I am not anti-mRNA shots and would have no problem taking a mRNA shot again in the future (or agreeing to other mRNA treatments) if the scenario was right.

Covid shot should have never been mandated. How and when they were mandated was largely political which has really been unfortunate because now it's impossible to have reasonable discussion about the shots with anyone.

Never had it and never will.

Never forget, 23% of liberals believed that your children should be confiscated because you weren't a braindead sheep. Dont even want to mention the percentage that supported you and your family losing your livelihood bc of it.

Even when they admit they were wrong **** em, and **** Travis Kelce.

There were a large majority of people on this very forum that basically said "It's the flu"

They were eventually proven correct, but were also banned, censored, and "corrected" for being "disinformation".

There is a completely different forum dedicated to adherents of COVID.

One of our most famous and clueless "concerned moderates" posted there just a few days ago, wondering, in 2024, if they should wear a mask.

Once the damage is done, it's...done.

The brains of the meek will never recover.


This is the most disgusting thing IMO with regards to texags. The staff just went along with the censorship like it was 1984. Isn't it ironic that the covid thread is forum 84?

Also, let's stop calling it a vaccine and legitimizing how the CDC changed the vaccine definition to fit their plans. It's a shot just like the flu shot.

Pure blood here. I guess I got lucky that despite my employer being run by a liberal progressive CEO, the shot wasn't forced on anyone. It was probably because we didn't meet the company size required at the time for forcing the shot. If this happens again I may have to push back on my employer or find a new job. Luckily my line of work is in high demand no matter the economy.

Of course. Vaccine hysteria is just that, hysteria.

While there are infinitesimally small risks of complications from COVID vaccinations (e.g., myocarditis), those same risks are associated with COVID, likely at greater rates.

As far as overall mortality data is concerned, Nate Silver and others have demonstrated pretty conclusively that there was a clear divergence in mortality rates between "red" and "blue" states after the vaccines became available. Prior to that, there was no meaningful difference, at all.

The conclusions here are quite clear: all of the other stuff (masks, "social distancing", closing schools, closing society, etc.) was essentially useless. Whereas, vaccines saved lives.

Politicizing facts is thoroughly stupid. Reality doesn't care if you believe in it or not.

Got mine before mass public release and booster near the end of the Delta wave. No regrets but won't be getting another.

Data from alpha and delta waves made the vaccine make sense for me. Not really since then and especially not for additional boosters.

Haven't really given the vaccine a second thought unless I come on F16.

Never got the vaccine, and if I had to do it all over again, I would not do it any differently. Even canceled both a cruise and a trip to Europe because they required proof and I didn't want to get stuck far away from home with fake proof and risk getting caught.
Conspiracies are the norm, not the exception.

I was never going to take that Nazi shot at any time. I called it for what it was from the onset. Knew, got absolutely railed for it. Do not regret it at all, Kept the vast majority of my family from getting it and a large number of my friends. Many of which have come back and thanked me for not being a whimp and taking the risk of offending them.

I was on here very early in the game, was 100% spot on. And also 100% spot concerning the 'climate scam' and will be 100% spot on concerning the up coming 'alien scam' as well. !

Buckle your seat belts boys 2024 is going to be a heck of ride. and it is not a time to be wishy washy with the Lord either!

You honestly believe the vaccine saved lives? Will be interesting to check these results in 2026 and 2031.

Yes. IMHO the health concerns over the jab are represent a really tiny percentage based on how many people have gotten jabbed. Setting up for an excellent false equivalency, ****ty foods and diet are killing more people than the jab.

Because other things are bad for you, that makes the jab safe?

I don't want to be the bearer of bad news, but more than one thing can be bad for you...and it appears that's precisely the case with the two things you mentioned.
