Vaccine or not?

[tnmarktx]

Yes you did, but how many have not

I'm still good with people's freedom to make their own medical decisions.

 

[Vjcvette]

Maybe less than 1%.

what is it now in the US.....800,000

 

[Persian Vol]

That's just it. All they offer are vaccines. Therapeutics are just as effective... and wouldn't use up hospital beds if used properly and early enough.

You could say the same with getting vaccinated.

.24% of the population and even that’s an embellished number.

 

[C-south]

You could say the same with getting vaccinated.

Or do neither and still be good.

Ivermectin and HCQ are FDA approved, also.

And neither of them were rushed through the process, either.

So is Viagra, but you wouldn’t just start popping blue pills for Covid until some research proved it was a good idea.

 

[Vjcvette]

There is no more “if”. I’ve had Covid as well as the majority of people I know.

I have not had Covid, I am vaccinated and the times that I have lived overseas I was vaccinated and I never got typhoid, cholera, yellow fever,
diphtheria or any of the diseases that I was vaccinated for.

I bet it would put up a stiff fight.

When its your family, you won't give a flip about what % it is, you want them protected

 

[C-south]

Then get vaccinated.

 

[GAVol]

The worst part is that if it didn’t work, you could end up blue lipped and blue balled.

 

[C-south]

diphtheria or any of the diseases that I was vaccinated for.

Then what are you afraid of? Why do you concern yourself with what everyone else does?

 

[Vjcvette]

Then get vaccinated.

I am vaccinated, but when you are not you can spread it to other people that may not live through it

 

[C-south]

I am vaccinated, but when you are not you can spread it to other people that may not live through it

So can you.

 

[Vjcvette]

So can you.

But I have taken every precaution

 

[MAD]

But I have taken every precaution

Thank you.
One thing I have learned from COVID is that when America was asked, what is the bare minimum you would do to save the life of the person next to you, the answer for many, was nothing.

If used properly, if used early enough, if, if, if.....we don't have tim;e for if's, we are in the middle of a mass epidemic

But we have time to use a vaccine that hasn't gone through all of the FDA approval processes and we don't know any of the long term effects of it.

6 one way and half dozen the other. Both are crap shoots. At least with the therapeutics, we have FDA approved drugs that were not rushed.

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

Less than 1%

 

[Vjcvette]

Less than 1%

Like I posted earlier, when it includes your family, you don't give a flip about the %

 

[tnmarktx]

If used properly, if used early enough, if, if, if.....we don't have tim;e for if's, we are in the middle of a mass epidemic

Why not use both?

 

[Rasputin_Vol]

what is it now in the US.....800,000

Over an 18 month period... while that same number, if not fewer, die of heart disease and other lifestyle/dietary issues every 12 months in this country.

Relax

Here are my thoughts on Ivermectin.

While I think the “Horse dewormer” title is quite amusing, I have nothing truly ill to say about Ivermectin. It is not used exclusively for horses, and has been used for treating parasitic infections in humans for certain diseases (although probably not the most common anti parasitic). I’m not going to go out of my way to undermine its potential efficacy in treating covid, but do we have solidified literature on how to use it for Covid specifically? What is the recommended dose? How often? How long should one stay on it? Should people take it prophylatially? (Probably not feasible for a population to all take a medication for prophylaxis.)

If Ivermectin ends up somehow turning into a drug that can decrease mortality and morbidity for those who are infected, then great. We already have a fantastic option in terms of prophylaxis being the vaccine. I do think it would be foolish to substitute the vaccine with ivermectin in that regard. For one it would be considerably more expensive and exhausting to take medication indefinitely. Second, ivermectin likely isn’t intended to be taken for months or years (what are the long term side effects of prolonged ivermectin?). Hopefully ivermectin can save lives in the hospital. But getting vaccinated is the most feasible way of decreasing your odds of getting hospitalized.

The Pfizer vaccine is FDA approved rushed or not, if something saves lives what difference does that make

I agree.

So now what?
