Will you get vaccinated?

Tbh, I wouldn't have gone to get the vaccine but they kept sending me messages, my work had somehow organized it for everyone even though I work in an office and have been home so I'm like the last person who should have gotten it.

But then my husband started to get gigs and I was like "yay, I wanna come", and he was like "not before you're vaccinated, don't you understand if you die, it's worse than if I die..".

And yes, I have explained a million times that it wouldn't do anything to me but I can try to explain that to the panic cells til the cows come home, it doesn't make any difference. So I was like fuk it, I'm not gonna live like this, so I just went to get it and it was super easy, didn't even wait in line. No side effects, was off gym one day. I am not really scared of the vaccine nor covid but just lazy.
Will report back if I'll become infertile and can't have those babbys in my fifties.

[QUOTE=ectoBgone;1634526963]Good post, and very similar to my own stance. I'm not anti-vax at all, but I am pro quality science and impassionate analysis of risk versus reward trade offs. Good science is slow and spends a lot of time ruling things out rather than rushing to conclusions. I think the mRNA technology is fascinating, promising, and exciting. It looks great on paper, but it still takes time to be able to evaluate properly. I completely agree with the decision to have an emergency order to administer the vaccines, because for [i]some[/i] groups, the risk to reward trade off for [i]not[/i] getting the vaccine is greater than getting it. But for me, I do not see myself in one of those groups.

Some of the things that would lead me to become a more willing adopter:

1. Better data on long term risks/complications when getting covid without the vaccine.
2. Removal of impunity from the vaccine manufacturers from lawsuits (hello Astra Zeneca and your old data)
3. Full disclosure of the composition of the lipid nanoparticles used to carry mRNA into the body (currently "proprietary" and unable to be scrutinized by the larger science community)
4. Compelling proof that being vaccinated would significantly reduce spread. (Fauci speaks out of both sides of his mouth on this)
5. Compelling proof that being vaccinated would reduce the creation of more dangerous variants.

Unfortunately, without having a good grasp on the origin of covid it's going to be tough to make a lot of headway on this. If the disease truly came out of a Wuhan lab by accident doing gain of function research, it could behave much differently than a large set of assumptions about coronaviruses driving decisions right now. With so much uncertainty, I'm just not jumping on the vaccine train right now. I have not seen anything yet that tells me the risk of inaction (which is personally quite small) is greater than the risk of action (currently completely unknown).[/QUOTE]

I think the last paragraph is key to why so many people are skeptical of this whole process from the start. A JRE guest named Jamie Metzl, episode #1616 sheds some light on this and scrutinized the lack of investigation of the origin and what we're dealing with when it comes to Covid and the Chinese as a whole. Highly recommend this episode because there is a lot of information to unpack.

A friend and I were aware of Covid and it's spread in Asia as early as November and were discussing it. We were confused why the rest of the world at the time was not bothering to take any action, yet two average guys like us were pretty concerned about it and monitoring it. This has led to a lot of skepticism from the start for a lot of people, not to mention the direction or lack there of from the CDC and WHO and local governments giving bad information and guidelines, and constantly moving the goal posts with no end in sight. Shutting down businesses for our safety while big corporation stay open...could go on and on. No wonder people are skeptical.

There are so many factors and circumstances whether a person decides to get the vaccine or not, you want to go places so it's a choice you had to make. I would do the same. For me I can afford to wait or not get it at all. I am not around a lot of people nor intend to be, I won't be travelling and only a handful of cases in the town nearest to me since it started. Zero now.



Congrats on getting the Vaccine, you will be perfectly fine.

Crazy how I didn't feel the penetration of the needle at all.

Might of been because the nurse that stuck me was kinda cute even though she was an oldcel like myself.

Thank you. :)

Yeah the clinic was like ten minutes away from my house too so I guess it's good to use the opportunity.

I felt it but it wasn't bad. The next day I rested, didn't go to gym. After the first day was back to normal 100%

I got J&J btw so another convenient thing for the lazy crew, don't have to go again.

[QUOTE=supramax;1634526193]I didn't take your comment as a fear of flying, just disdain for the airport rigamaroll, these days.
Why are you afraid of the ocean?[/QUOTE]

The ocean = been there, done that. No desire for boats and no desire for skin problems. I’d rather live out my years seeing how much I can lift with my jaw.

Lol. I tried it with a 120 lb kettlebell and a hand towel, after I watched you do it. I know why it made you hibernate. :)

I love the feeling that no land in sight gives.

[QUOTE=Cass40;1634489723]The Royal Cruises only accept fully vaccinated passengers.

Question for folks who are not going to get vaccinated. Are you just never going to do anything like that? Not necessarily talking about cruises but I'm sure it's not the only thing that's going to require it.[/QUOTE]

I can buy a boat. I havent flown since tsa was allowed to sexually grope everyone. WHat you doing to do, ban the roads?

My question was not a hostile one so not sure why are you answering me like that. I couldn't give a crap if you take the vaccine or not, like the things I care about it would rate less than zero.

How would I be able to ban the roads? If I could, I would but I don't have any power like that.

Use your brain, it wasnt directed at you, it was directed at the gumbint. Ill rephrase it, if I dont play the sheep, are they going to ban the roads for the wolves? Get off that high horse you think your on k thanks.

Nice, I never thought about a towel, you gotta make sure all the back teeth are involved, but damn 120 first go is awesome.

What was the ROM?

I’ve actually lifted 175 with a shorter ROM it’s easier with shorter ROM.

That's what real women want.

[QUOTE=mtpockets;1623478861]Just for sh!ts and giggles lets say a vaccine for covid is available early next month. Will you be rolling up your sleeve or turning the other cheek?


I won't be first in line to say jab me with a rushed vaccine, besides if all you fukers get it I shouldn't have too. Until then I will rely on social distance, my mask apparel and newly acquired hand washing skills to keep me safe.

How about you?[/QUOTE]

I wash hands since I was a kid. Also get vaccines since I was a kid.

Got my flu jab last year. And first covid jab a few weeks ago.

Still washing my hands.

[QUOTE=Bando;1634514253]On one hand I feel like that's an invasion of my privacy, my employer wants us to upload an image of our vaccination cards into a database.

On the other hand your kids can't go to school without a bunch of shots.

So I dunno.[/QUOTE]

That's not true. All but 3 states have philosophical and/or religious exemptions. Plenty of people use these to get their kids out of school vaccinations. College students use them, too. Every state has medical exemptions a doctor can write.

I don't know how many nanometres the kettlebell was off the ground, but it was off the ground very briefly and back down the moment I thought a blood vessel in my head was about to burst. :)

It was a one off for me; not on my short list of bulletproofing exercises. I'm slightly in awe of what you did, though.

Dude, I started doing these like 15 years ago and I started with like 25#. This is why I didn’t post it in the training thread, I’d not suggest anyone attempt 100 without knowing how it feels. Once recovered, that’s when the bulletproof construction happens, but yeah it causes breakdown just like breakdown a muscle fiber comes back denser this builds you up from the inside out.

I see it more as a feat of strength, but I'll take your word on its bulletproofing potential.
