Anyone else feel ashamed of getting the Covid shots?

you got a free vaccine that might have saved your health or that of others. unless you've had some massive complication from it you shouldn't feel that way.

Firstly to address the ignorant part of your post: the vaccine does not prevent infection from the virus, it does reduce or eliminate the symptoms of the disease in most people. Thats the point of the vaccine.

Now to address the bullshit in your post: 'they have an issue with a blood clot'..I assume you are referring to one family member not all of them? who told them it was caused by the vaccine? I believe blood clots were in existence prior to the vaccine. Have you a shred of evidence that your family member has a clot as a result of the vaccine?

Its all very sad but I suspect huge amounts of people spout opinion as fact while ignoring the reality.

No one knows how anyone will respond to COVID or the COVID vaccine. Personal annedote can never show the breadth of data needed to understand the outcomes. Only large datasets and statistical analysis can show the probability of any given response. The data is clear and unambiguous that having the vaccine reduces harm, end of story and any amount of biased anecdote willnot change that.

I had the first two double shot vacines and am glad I did. I felt really bad for two days after each - but so what - that's exactly what you should feel since your body is responding to what it sees as a real infection. I have had COVID at least twice since then but but very mild doses.

From personal experience and following the scientific evidence I have absolutely no doubt I did the right thing for myself and my community.

Yep, like you, I was very sorry for those two young mothers who both wanted to get bigger tits so they could keep the lads happy! It's really great that they're availing of free legal aid to challenge their detention, in the Supreme Court. As a taxpayer who will be funding their legal hi jinks, I'm hoping they'll both do their best Patricia the Stripper impersonation when the RTE cameras turn up to report on the verdict!

Countless thousands of lives saved yet some nose picker with the morality of a maggot dances cheerfully on the grave of one of a handful of victims of the vaccine. 😡

It's universally acknowledged that vaccines are inevitably going to produce a serious reaction in a very small percentage of the population. The issue here is the common good, rather than the statistical outlier. Should peanuts be banned because a very small portion of the population may die from inadvertently consuming them?

I find it curious that people felt pressured to take the vaccine when no one pressured anyone everyone had a choice take it don't take it it was always upto the individual what they wanted to do

You must have been in a coma then.

There were legions of little bullies trying to pressure anyone and everyone into taking it, as well as a system of official disadvantages necessitating a "vaccine pass" to help encourage 'uptake'.

Yes it does actually. It is the weight of the argument, and you have no answer to it. It is the scientific evidence backed by the overwhelming scientific consensus and the conduct of every major health authority in the world during the pandemic. As expected, you have no answer to this evidence and consensus, proof your claims are a bad faith argument.

This is like someone trying to make a case, and when someone points out you are wrong because 2+2 = 4, says why do you keep bringing up 2+2 =4?

You have nothing, no real evidence, no coherent argument, just the standard anti vaxxer tactics of half truths, anecdotes, and the pretence of just asking questions and feigning ignorance.

I pointed out the 'stories' because in your previous post which you already seem to be disowning, you pretended to be swayed by 'They see and read story after story after story'. So was story after story important or not? You can't keep your story straight so I guess that was a bad faith argument too.

Whether you are swayed by stories, or swayed by scientific evidence and consensus, either way, it all establishes that covid vaccination is safe by medical standards and effective, as judged by the evidence cited.

This is the scientific evidence:

Unvaccinated people 12 years and older had 17 times the rate of COVID-associated deaths, compared to people vaccinated with a primary series and a booster dose.

The incredible nastiness of the entire period is evident on the archived threads of this forum. It was a golden age for little conformist bullies.

You mustn't have had the heart for it yourself since you didn't take part, but all kinds of ignoramuses were calling for every kind of legal disadvantage and punishment they could think of for "super spreaders", "anti-vaxxers" etc., etc.

Good luck memory-holing that because a million bullying comments can be dug up on Internet Archive and other places. The mob didn't cover themselves in glory.

Then there were the "vaccine passes" which were justified partly on the basis of encouraging 'uptake' - which, whether you agree with it or not, is a form of pressure.
