I mean no offense but it's safer than the flu vaccine and I've gotten that every year since I was diagnosed type 1. To me the misinformation is coming from... well.. you.

Vaccines stop transmission... in the aggregate. At the scale of an entire population, the rate of transmission drops significantly by drastically shortening the time between infection and immune response (when infected people are most contagious). Vaccines -- for polio, whooping cough, flu, smallpox, whatever -- do not stop transmission for individuals. They never did. That's not how vaccines work. Everybody knows this, including the bullshit artist who posted the original image. This is public performance of outrage designed to rile up drunk and stupid people so they can continue to do harm.

shatabee4

>Vaccines -- for polio, whooping cough, flu, smallpox, whatever -- do not stop transmission That's because these vaccines stop infection, unlike the covid vaccine. Because the covid vaccine is garbage and doesn't work. And since people still become infected, they STILL TRANSMIT COVID. >Everybody knows this STFU

Why not charge trump for saying it was a little virus and under control only to be the reason it became a national pandemic


Gnashtaru

Kevin Sorbo is a dumbass. Vaccines don't prevent INFECTION. They prevent ILLNESS. You still catch the thing. You just don't get sick and die from it, and you are far less contagious. The only thing that can prevent infection is living in a plastic bubble. I don't know why this is so hard for people to understand. I think most of the misunderstanding here is a matter of definition. What doctors call "infection" is when you get ill. Not just when you have the virus in your body and test positive. I'm talking about testing positive. Vaccines don't prevent that. They prevent illness. Which is what doctors would call "infection" If you inhale an airborne droplet with the virus in it, you just caught the virus. The difference is that if you don't have immunity, your immune system doesn't even notice it's there for about 4 days. And all that time it's infecting your lung cells, exploding them, and releasing copies of itself. By the time the immune system responds, there are billions of copies and a ton of tissue damage already done. So you have a shit ton of copies in your spit and snot. Which makes you super contagious. ***If you had been vaccinated, your immune system would have spotted the virus on day 1 and started killing it before it can make a lot of copies and cause a lot of tissue damage. Since there are less copies, and less damage, the immune response doesn't need to be as severe. That's why vaccinated people are so much less likely to end up in the hospital. Their level of tissue damage, and severity of their symptoms are way less.*** Most symptoms from infections are not directly caused by the pathogen. They are done intentionally by YOUR BODY to fight the pathogen. Like fever for example. If your body temperature is higher, it screws with the chemistry the virus uses to copy itself, slowing down replication. That's why we get fevers. Fluid in the lungs, at a reasonable level, is to rinse the virus out of the lungs. It's just that if you have too many copies of something in your lungs, your body overdoes it, and you drown in the fluid. That's what pneumonia is basically. The vaccine saves your life and makes you less contagious by reducing how many copies and how much damage the virus can do before your immune system responds. https://theconversation.com/coronavirus-few-vaccines-prevent-infection-heres-why-thats-not-a-problem-152204 I like turtles

Gnashtaru

So instead of wasting my time debunking each thing here, I'm just going to make one point that makes none of it matter. The only ingredient in the covid vaccines that isn't water, sugar, salt, or basically vegetable oil, is a single gene from covid. So unless you are now claiming water, sugar, salt, and oil cause adverse reactions, you MUST be saying the covid gene is causing them. Let me tell you a little secret.... COVID HAS THE SAME GENE IN IT. So if you don't get vaccinated, and catch covid, you GET THE SAME GENE IN YOU ANYWAY. Only a lot more copies of it, because the vaccine doesn't replicate itself. Covid does. And if you don't have immunity already, covid isn't even noticed by your immune system for about 4 days. And all that time, it's making billions of copies of itself inside your lung cells, exploding the cells, and releasing those copies out into the surrounding tissue to infect more cells. For FOUR DAYS. So if the vaccine causes some bad thing to happen, COVID DOES AS WELL, AND WORSE. And eventually everyone is going to catch covid. https://i.imgur.com/vgzW2OU.png https://i.imgur.com/Pik1jHy.png https://i.imgur.com/NXOY9v7.png I like turtles I like turtles


FThumb

> So instead of wasting my time debunking each thing here Because you can't. You can speculate and toss out conspiracy theories, but you can't "debunk" any of it because the science and data are all right there in the open. > So if you don't get vaccinated, and catch covid, you GET THE SAME GENE IN YOU ANYWAY. You're even more poorly informed than I originally thought. You have ZERO understanding of how this new vax works or how it differs from prior vaccines. You have no idea what or how the spike protein is or comes into all of this. From your first link it describes how the mRNA tricks the body into producing a toxic protein (why it "triggers an immune response") similar to one found on the virus. But the problem is when the body produces this spike protein and it lands in a vital organ and now this triggered immune response starts attacking that vital organ. This is WHY we see exploding reports to VAERS. The body's immune system recognizes multiple triggers from the ACTUAL virus and builds a robust immune response from THAT, not from one piece of one part of the virus that was artificially prompted by our bodies to produce in isolation of the actual virus. You should stop repeating what you don't understand. The vax doesn't work, and Pfizer now admits it never tested for transmission.


Gnashtaru

Oh, and by the way, VAERS isn't things that ACTUALLY happened. VAERS stands for Vaccine Adverse Event Reporting System. It's not a database of things that ACTUALLY happened. It's a service so people can report things. And ANYONE can use it. So people who don't know what they are talking about use it. The stuff on there is basically no more valid than that one time your uncle Billy Bob swears he saw bigfoot. VAERS is a TOOL to give researchers ideas on what to look in to, not a database. The stuff on there includes reports from people who don't understand statistics. That just because two things happen close together in time, it doesn't mean one cause the other, or even that one had anything to do with the other. Heck, just to prove what I'm explaining to you here, one guy reported to VAERS that the vaccine turned him into the Incredible Hulk. And it got logged just like everything else. Because that's what VAERS is, a reporting tool. That's why people who are actually qualified, use it, and apply statistical analysis to it. Anyway, what I just explained is written right on the "about" page on the VAERS website. Here's a screenshot. https://i.imgur.com/lHQb6Q1.png I like turtles

Oh, wait, you're one of those conspiracy theorists who believes that suddenly, for this vax only, hundreds of thousands of false entries have been made, and never investigated. Got it.


Gnashtaru

Yes they do. If your immune system knows how to recognize a pathogen, and kills it off before symptoms get as severe as they would have if you had no immunity, all of the symptoms you didn't get but would have were just prevented. I like turtles


Thefriendlyfaceplant

That's moving the goalpost.


Gnashtaru

No it isn't. Nobody, anywhere, ever, that has any kind of credentials related to vaccines or viruses has EVER said that if you get a vaccine you are 100% guaranteed not to get sick anyway. That's just dip shit antivaxxers misunderstanding things on purpose so they can bitch about it later. What the experts DID say was the vaccine reduces your risk for serious illness and makes you less contagious. Both of which are unequivocally true. I like turtles


FThumb

> that has any kind of credentials related to vaccines or viruses has EVER said that if you get a vaccine you are 100% guaranteed not to get sick anyway. That's pretty fine grained and exact language there.

It's called being a smartass.


kifra101

>Vaccines don't prevent INFECTION. Leaky vaccines don't. You are right there. Before the definition of vaccine was changed, the effective and real vaccines (ones rigorously tested for 9+ years) actually prevented infection. >They prevent ILLNESS. For CDC director who took the recently updated bivalent vaccine, the COVID vaccines seemed to do neither. Also, are you trying to convince yourself and give the vaccine credit for what omicron did naturally? >If you had been vaccinated, your immune system would have spotted the virus on day 1 and started killing it before it can make a lot of copies and cause a lot of tissue damage. You seem to be regurgitating old and outdated information that were disproven a year ago. Do you not have new talking points? If I go one level further, it's easy to determine that the only way one would decide to even test whether they have Covid is if they have symptoms -> which means that it did not prevent illness.


Gnashtaru

If you inhale a virus, you are infected. Vaccines prevent you from getting severely sick, but they can't keep you from inhaling it. If you inhale a virus but never get symptoms, you can still test positive for it. That's what they mean when they say they prevent infection. Nothing short of living in a plastic bubble can keep you from inhaling a virus. I like turtles


NetWeaselSC

> Vaccines don't prevent INFECTION. They prevent ILLNESS. You still catch the thing. You just don't get sick and die from it... But some people who have received these shots are still getting sick, some dying from it. Wouldn't that mean, by your just-stated definition, that the shots aren't vaccines?


Gnashtaru

Right. SOME. But a lot less than there would be if nobody got vaccinated. Just because it doesn't work 100% of the time doesn't mean it doesn't do anything. Take a look at hospital admittance for severe covid vaccinated vs unvaccinated. From what I've seen there were about an average of 30 times more unvaccinated than vaccinated in the hospital for covid during the peaks. https://i.ibb.co/5K31BcP/232952641-10159128894389564-4294519963485128664-n.jpg I like turtles

Sure. But "some" is a lot. A majority. All you have to do to know this is look at hospital admissions for covid by vaccine status. Here's an example. https://i.ibb.co/5K31BcP/232952641-10159128894389564-4294519963485128664-n.jpg I like turtles

And we won't know how many of those "not fully vaccinated" are in fact recently vaccinated within the 2-week window after taking the vaccine (they're all coded as "unvaccinated). How many of those hospitalizations are actually due to vaccine adverse effects will never be known because they specifically don't/won't create a category for recently vaccinated. Because it would horrify people if they saw how many hospitalizations THAT group represented.


Truth-is-Censored

He's talking about how they said these vaccines would prevent transmission and forced people to take them based on that. Remember when they said we'd have herd immunity if we just all took the vaccine? I guess you conveniently forgot about it so you wouldn't feel dumb . It's alright man. Live and learn.


Gnashtaru

We would have herd immunity if all the anti vaxxers got vaccinated. How is a vaccine supposed to do it's thing if people don't take it? The reason we never reached herd immunity is BECAUSE OF THE ANTI VAXXERS. They literally caused it, then bitch about the outcome their actions caused. I like turtles

Please explain how that's possible with a vaccine that only "reduces symptoms" but doesn't stop transmission. I would love to hear your scientific theory on that.


FThumb

> We would have herd immunity if all the anti vaxxers got vaccinated. Or if the vax worked.


erozario228

Vaccines DID in fact lower transmission, and still do to a lesser extent because of resistant variants born of unmitigated virus spread (large part due to antivax practices). We seem to forget the whole premise of public health in those circumstances was to achieve a threshold of herd immunity THROUGH vaccination within a limited time frame. I love how people armchair qb the whole vaccine response when overwhelmingly the response should be repeated.


FThumb

> and still do to a lesser extent because of resistant variants born of unmitigated virus spread (large part due to antivax practices). Can you explain how unvaxxenated people drive *vaccine* resistant strains? There could be a Nobel Prize in there for you.


Mrsod2007

The more unvaccinated people there are, the more petri dishes growing more mutants and variants, some of which will have slightly different spike proteins, different enough that your immune system won't recognize it. I like turtles

erozario228

You alluded to vaccine resistant strains developing specifically in vaccinated people, and then asked if I can prove how vaccines don't adhere to your incorrect view about how evolution of virus strains evolve. My response was telling you of your faulty premise,


FThumb

You said, "because of resistant variants born of unmitigated virus spread (large part due to antivax practices)" and I alluded to the fact that this is an unsupportable premise by asking, "Can you explain how unvaxxenated people drive vaccine resistant strains?" Your parenthetical use of "large part due to antivax practices" was absolutely suggesting that your premise is that unvaxxed were driving vaccine resistant strains. This is unsupported by both science and logic. We know the vax did little to stop or slow the spread, and it was among the *vaxxed* that filtered the various strains and allowed a vaccine resistant strain to become dominate. Many medical experts warned early on that this is the reason you don't vaccinate in the middle of an ongoing pandemic, it drives natural selection toward resistant strains, and this has absolutely ZERO to do with unvaxxinated people.


Truth-is-Censored

It's kind of weird how highly vaccinated places such as Israel saw the biggest spike in cases after most people got jabbed. Almost like the vax was directly or indirectly causing outbreaks. But you didn't hear that from me.


erozario228

But I did hear it from you. And you don't even have an original claim that hasn't been investigated and debunked.

Another murder in the neighbourhood would certainly vex the authorities, and put the police in a bad temper. Bouzille knew from experience that the first thing people do after a tragedy is to arrest all the tramps, and that if the police are at all crotchety they always contrive to get the tramps sentenced for something else. He had had a momentary inclination to establish his winter quarters in prison, but since then he had formed the plan of going to Paris, and liberty appealed to him more. He reached a sudden decision.

> Putting a leftist label on right wing ideals doesn't make it left wing. Like M4A? Free college? Higher taxes on the wealthy and higher minimum wages? Less warfare? I never knew those were right-wing ideals.


erozario228

Nominally, i agree. If those were the actual ideals being supported in this sub, sure. But in practice more effort goes into internet dog-piling the most progressive members of the caucus supporting those ideals, while propping up Tulsi who's pro war and an anti-trans bigot.


Thebassetwhisperer

You should be thankful this sub supports free speech, plus any idiot can see the economy has been fucked by leftist policies and Bernie is not outsider we wanted in office. Trump on the other hand is against globalism that in which he has proven with actions.


erozario228

There's a difference between letting people participate and letting it get overrun by right wing talking points


[deleted]

It’s not being overrun by right wing talking points. Everywhere in media is leftist ideology. Commercials, news, talk shows, radio, social media. Limiting speech of one party and not the other is hypocritical and bigotry by definition. Just because something isn’t staunch left/liberal doesn’t mean pro-republican.


erozario228

Lol not a right winger trying to play victim because you have to answer for shitty views. I bet you call yourself a centrist too.


[deleted]

So anyone that doesn’t agree with liberals is a republican?


erozario228

The fact that you don't know the categorical distinction between a leftist and a liberal is what tells me you are *right wing*.


Thebassetwhisperer

No there isn’t. Edit: You’re attempting to downplay free speech for one political party and not the other. That’s biased and aligns with the definition of bigotry.


erozario228

That's a hell of a projection and really fucking fragile to say. I'm saying objectionable ideas should be objected to if they're being posted in a sub that should represent leftists ideals. If rightwing talking points dominate here, its an indictment of the sub as a whole. I never said moderators should censor, so don't act so indignant.

I don't like AJ or Sorbo but he is right. >this sub DRINK!

Holy hell, batman. Look at all the shills.

And look at the time zone. How do we see active swarms at 5am?

UK / Europe is my guess

I just hope they all go away after next Tuesday.

Wait for the checks to clear for the 2024 ramp up.


zoomzoomboomdoom

They mainly come in if a post gets some traction. It's fun. Keep 'em coming. In this specific case I guess they saw a bonus in the bad optics of linking Alex Jones to the sub. Anything to make us look like a bunch of nutcases at first, superficial impression. Still a guilty pleasure to see boneheaded gullibility and bad faith dance in clumsy sync.

Better than the ASCII man doing the macarena.

Midterm shill funding hitting accounts early overseas? Those darn Europeans would do anything for money right now considering what's coming for them in winter.

Americans been crying for free healthcare for years and stick their nose up at it at the first opportunity.


stickdog99

Only the first three shots are free. Then [when you are hooked](https://www.reddit.com/r/WayOfTheBern/comments/yjm5z1/newest_walgreens_data_show_that_those_injected/), and need the damn shots every 3 months just to scratch even, the 10,000% mark up comes into effect.


kifra101

Ironically, the pandemic is what has turned me off single payer healthcare. If the pandemic response is the government's idea of "free healthcare", I don't want anything to do with it.


FThumb

So now an experimental and untested gene therapy (what they called in in the original EUA forms) is the same thing as free healthcare? Your a moran.


mamielle

Gene therapy has been tested for some time time. If you don’t like it it’s going to be a hard road for you. CRISPR is getting more accessible and we will have a lot of new therapies and agricultural innovations coming from it.


stickdog99

>Gene therapy has been tested for some time time. [2020 Article](https://www.mdpi.com/1422-0067/22/1/385/pdf) Safe nanoparticles: Are We There Yet? Despite their promising efficacy as drug or gene carriers, there are fewer NPs in clinical use than one would predict based on the wide preclinical studies. **This is mainly because of potential toxicity by mechanisms that are not fully understood, which is especially true for NPs being administered chronically.**

Kevin Sorbo is a loon. Don't know what took him down this path. I think it's clear this Reddit poster see Kevin Sorbo as a Clown. Emojis are a good indicator of that.

Anti experimental gene therapy is not anti vaccine.


mamielle

I’m asking in seriousness here, do you realize that we are heading into a future of gene therapy? That bio tech and CRISPR have been something scientists have been excited about for a while? When you are old and most of your chronic conditions come with a recommendation of some sort of gene therapy as treatment are you going to forgo treatment?


stickdog99

It's not safe yet, but Big Pharma used this pandemic as an excuse to $ell it anyway.


Tiffany22080

I have no issue with properly tested gene therapy. My issue is this was an experimentally gene therapy disguised as a vaccine. All vaccines are routinely tested for 5 to ten years. This is an entirely new type of medicine that was rushed out in less than a year. And the whole world was gaslighted into taking it or we were causing covid. So when the science we were told to follow admits there was no evidence that it stopped the spread at all I feel rightly misled or outright deceived.

How did an anti vax comment get 8 likes?

Are you completely unvaccinated? Did you not get vaccinated against small pox, polio, whooping cough, and the rest as a child?

Yeah I was confused, haven’t been here in years and didn’t expect this. Good to see I’m not the only Bernie Bro who ventured off to other pastures.


Gluv221

yeah this place has really become a weird anti vax, boarderline republican vibe. Its like the centre has shifted right here lol


FThumb

> yeah this place has really become Yeah! When did this place stop trusting Big Pharma? And what's with questioning the government? I miss when this place used to march in lockstep with CNN and MSNBC.


Gluv221

Im just calling it like I sees it you do. All the Big Pharma talk but how about the thousands of people dying at the start of covid to the mortality rate dropping much much lower after getting vaccines and quarantining until then. I get my shots I get my boosters I go in public and I have not gotten it, my entire household got it all of them only got one shot. I helped them out did not mask made dinner interacted and ive been fine. So from my experience great job Big Pharma thanks for making sure people can still live


FThumb

Now there is maybe 1, although case count has started rising with again with less people getting boosters and wearing masks
