Current Events > My anti vax co workers are at it again

(+) Yeah! (+)

Claiming that booster shots prove that the vaccines are a con and they're just trying to sell a product to use us for money.

One of the girls is still on the "covid is a hoax" bandwagon

"No one I know got sick and less people died of Covid than die of the flu, also they put car crash deaths under covid deaths to spike the numbers. I feel sorry for you that you've fallen for it. It's such obvious trickery "

Such obvious trickery is verbatim for the record

its infuriating

I don't get how Fauci puts up with this shit all day

They'll be outlawed from stepping outside their property soon enough.

Anti-vaxxers perpetually act like they're in the music video for Vinderloo and nobody cares

If you got your shots, don't worry. Those guys will die first.

This is what they say too and its bullshit

thats not how viruses work

1. Young non fat healthy people aren't at risk. For them covid will be mild or symptomless, but they will spread it to old/fat people and people with compromised immune systems and kill/harm them

2. Viruses mutate more the more they spread. The very act of people not vaccinating makes vaccinations less effective and variants more common

Anti- vaxxers are not putting themselves at risk noblely, they're cowardly risking and other people because they are lazy pathetic scum

I have 0 tolerance for it or its defenders

Viruses mutate more the more they spread.

The evolutionary trend is more virulent, less lethal - at least not quickly.
A virus that efficiently kills its host, doesn't spread much. HIV figured this out forty years ago.

So?

"Well it doesn't matter if it spreads more and gets more variants so it doesn't go away, the lethality rates of the variants might be lower, more harm and suffering and less death " isn't a positive

This is madness

I have people at work who refuse to get it. One guy thinks it's the governments way of seeing how much they can control us. It's ridiculous. Every time he opens his mouth I just walk away.

I've heard the government and also literally fucking Tesco blamed for the "hoax "

The vaccine is simultaneously a fake and also kills people

You just can't keep up with the nonsense

No

They genuinely believe vaccines are dangerous. They're not lazy, they don't want to see others get sick and die, and they're bad people. They are health-conscious and believe they are dodging a dangerous bullet by not getting it. You can't fault that mindset because it follows the natural instinct of self-preservation.

You can do one of two things:

continue to belittle, hate, and ridicule them ~ nothing changes

Approach them in a friendly professional manner and present them with facts on why they're wrong. ~ This is the only chance you have to make a difference. Some won't listen, but most people on general principal will listen to well presented facts. Not if you approach them aggressively calling them idiots though, of course.

The choice is yours.

How do they explain the money thing in civilized countries where you don't have to pay?

as annoying as my coworkers can be, gladly none of them are anti-vaxx conspiracy theorists who believe that Bill Gates, the WHO and the chinese government wanna put microchips inside us that connect to the 5G networks or whatever...

however, i recently got an invitation out of the blue for an anti-vaxx group on Whatsapp. needless to say i deleted it then reported it afterwards... lol

They don't

They just stand in a group and insult you or bring up God

I've heard good arguments that we might want to aspirate while doing the injections, but that isn't a covid vaccine risk but rather a injection protocol concern.

Also I agree with the WHO that there currently isn't sufficient information to advocate giving the covid vaccine to children.

All that said, I don't think there is any valid reason to be against the COVID vaccine, like the EUA suggests we need to monitor incidents for safety concerns and we should be transparent with them to the public, but whatever risks there even could be with the vaccine, they simply do not compare with the risks from COVID.

Be sure to tell them good luck

"Its fake , that's just what China wants to tell you, how come muslims don't get it? more people die of the flu, it's a con" ETC.

they're not interested in facts , if they were then they wouldn't be anti vaxxers

Are they telling you to shut the fuck up and close your account too?

One of the cultists at my work also used the phrase, such obvious trickery. Must be a quote from a Fox fuckhead.

I guess you could challenge her to visit literally any nearby hospital where she will find Covid patients and the medical staff caring for them. Maybe warn the staff first, so they dont slap her.

She'd probably just claim either they are all in on it or they're sick from something else

There's no reasoning with these people

Mine are anti-vax for the reason they have already had the Covid. We had an outbreak after I got my first shot and thankfully I did not catch anything.

That's not anti-vax tho...

But this is a deadly virus???

It's killed the flu, common cold, cancer deaths, heart attack deaths, nobody has died of old age anymore.

Get the vaccine with all those incentives and then you cannot die. Nothing says health like a free donut.

However, those vaccinated in England are dying more than the unvaccinated people which I read from a few mainstream media sources.

I'm not sure if the science is on on that, I'd like to see they studies on previously infected people who get vaccinated. Because previously infected people will have antibodies.

That said it currently looks like they should only get one dose:
