Hilariously ironic.
The **overwhelming** preponderance of **evidence** shows that they were both safe and effective. New research is coming out constantly affirming that conclusion.
[Here](https://consensus.app/search/were-the-covid-vaccines-safe-and-effective/sT9i1Tl7QUyaQ8ypJKHt-A/) is an aggregate of 1,400 papers on the topic, with the top 50 citations by conclusion. 78% of them conclude “yes”, 2% of them conclude “no”, and the remaining are “mixed” or “possibly”. You will need to resolve your own cognitive dissonance, given your belief deviating significantly from the evidence on offer.
People talk, and we have family, friends and coworkers we all know who got the vaccines and had bad side effects. Many were fine and had little to no side effects, but to dismiss what we know and have heard, is just weird
Glad I never got that vaccine
This is exactly what’s going on with people who still believe the Trump administration is “safe and effective”.
-there, fixed it for you.
wow, you mean like Trumpism, How the MAGA crowd cannot believe a single bad thing about their president?
So basically if you read the countless studies that found the vaccine was safe you are irrational, but if you believe they are deadly because you heard it on Joe Rogan you are smart
It’s fine if you are using actual data to back up your claim and not anecdotal evidence. I see no data posted just a quote though, so I’m leaning towards a “I know a guy” story.
Yeh I thought of Maga and Drumpf supporters, sorry bruh
This is not only stupid, it’s false.
Sadly denial and fear are at control here
What evidence were we presented with?
Why do you care? If you didn’t get the shot then it doesn’t apply to you. Get it if you want, or don’t.
“ive done well in this economy, the american dream is alive, if youre not doing well, you shouldve been like me and funded MIC, corporations, and oligarchs” also “America is a place of free expression, and a melting pot of ideas and people and experiences that are in no way led away from what makes their culture great, in the name of creating more debt.
An engineer once told us the same things about Apollo. Cognitive dissonance helps shut down any serious questioning about anything including Covid shots.
I’m not going to go into the back & forth idiocy of arguing for or against covid shots. It’s a colossal waste of time.
What I *will* say is this:
I make the comparison that beliefs are like barnacles that accumulate on the hull of a ship. They stick like glue, are a job to get rid of, and they travel along with the ship. Nobody wants to go through the trouble of even loosening those ‘barnacles.’ It’s too big a job. So they just continue on in their beliefs. In a sense, it’s a form of laziness.
People shouldn’t examine *what* they believe but *why* they believe it. Then, if they’re attempting to loosen said beliefs, they would have to learn about *how* they were acquired in the first place.
I’m with Robert Anton Wilson about this: I try on beliefs for awhile and then discard them. It’s a way of understanding why someone would believe (or disbelieve) something as they do. This helps in fostering some sort of empathy and understanding toward people.
One of the biggest problems with humanity is this tendency to either blindly believe or knowingly stick to their beliefs without budging. Open mind and open heart is my personal philosophy.
I once was flipping through a book in a book store when I landed on a page about ‘hierarchy of values.’ It turned out that people value their own beliefs more than they value even themselves. This suggests that belief creates the entirety of a person’s identity. Asking someone to change their beliefs is as intense as asking someone to change who they are.
This is precisely why I avoid arguing for or against people’s beliefs on the internet.
Ok well if we’re just doing anecdotal evidence, then at my last job every person who didn’t get the vaccine got COVID like 3 times and I never once got it. I self tested multiple times with different brands of tests and got all the jabs, so…
Watching the cognitive dissonance fight itself in this thread is hysterical and gives off a very cognitive dissonant vibe.
Same exact thing could be said for people who do not believe it is safe and effective. Truth of the matter might be somewhere in the middle, as is usually the case. It’s safe and effective for most people, and not for others. Which is kind of how all vaccines work, unfortunately. Like everything in life, it’s all about the risk/benefit analysis.
This feels like such a burn to the pro-vaccination community until you self-reflect and realize that the overwhelming evidence is that the covid vaccine *is in fact* safe and effective, and you are the one being presented evidence that works against your belief, but your core belief that the covid vaccine is dangerous is so strong that the evidence cannot be accepted.
The discomfort you are feeling that made you so compelled to post this is the exact cognitive dissonance that they speak of.
Since I got the shot, ive noticed my sense of smell is off, my taste is different, and i think it’s caused some mental issues too
I’ve had every other vaccine, I chose not to get the Covid vaccine.
Not antivax. I’ve not regretted it suffered by not taking it.
One of the biggest hospitals in Sweden recently went out and said the vaccines was unnecessary lol
People are for real still taking these?!?!?
since i got the vaxx i have better erections and no more blood clots ….. funny how my brother’s , girlfriend’s cousin’s aunt’s sons husband has vaxx injuries
Everybody who disagrees with me suffers from cognitive dissonance.
