Current Events > 24% of people think Covid vaccines killed someone they know.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Nearly a quarter of Americans believe someone they know died from COVID-19 vaccine side effects, and even more say they might be willing to become plaintiffs in a class-action lawsuit against vaccine makers.

The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone and online survey finds that 24% of American Adults say they know someone personally who died from side effects of the COVID-19 vaccine. Sixty-nine percent (69%) dont know anyone who died from being vaccinated against the virus. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Forty-two percent (42%) say that, if there was a major class-action lawsuit against pharmaceutical companies for vaccine side effects, they would be likely to join the lawsuit, including 24% who say its Very Likely theyd join such a lawsuit. Forty-seven percent (47%) arent likely to join a class-action lawsuit against vaccine makers, including 25% who say its Not At All Likely. Another 11% are not sure.

i hold the opinion "idiot" and "dipshits" are both not mean enough to describe these people

'Submoronic cro-magnon cretins' is a bit wordy I know, but it accurately conveys my seething contempt for such people while staying PG-rated.

Eh, allergic reactions to vaccines happen. Someone I know had a heart attack after getting vaccinated but thankfully survived. Someone else I know fell into a coma but she's fine now. However, both cases were within a week or two of getting the vaccine.

Corelation causation

Eh, allergic reactions to vaccines happen.

Just like how no one famous ever died before COVID from accidents, old age or any random rare cause of death like syncope while sitting in a hot tub.

I used to get sick every single time I got a flu shot. After the last time I got sick (it was bad), I decided no more flu shots. This was 20 years ago, and I haven't had more than a cold, food poisoning, or Covid since then.

We had a person in the ER last week for chest pains. Before the doctor even had a chance to diagnose him, he wanted her to agree with him that he had cardiomyopathy caused from a COVID vaccine he'd been forced to get three years earlier.

-_-

that poll basically just says most conservatives are fucking idiots, which we knew

only that allergic reactions can happen

This isn't the only thing you said:

Not allergic reaction.

Nothing about allergic reactions.

Don't try to subtly imply misininformation garbage and then play innocent.

Thanks.

How the hell are those not allergic/bad reactions?

I mean yeah, it makes sense, a certain percentage of the population are fucking morons.

I genuinely don't know how they survive in their day-to-day lives with the things they say at work.

It's such a bizarre existence and I end up almost feeling sorry for them.

Never taught any critical thinking skills or ways to reason with information.

Just solely a guinea pig for the corporation and the hordes of misinformation that plague online spaces.

You don't tend to have an allergic reaction to something weeks after you are exposed to it. The reason you're supposed to wait around for 15 min after receiving a vaccine is specifically in case you have an allergic reaction.

Ok, so how do you get really bad flulike symptoms after getting a flu shot? Why haven't I had it since my last one?

This is all widely, readily available information. But you refuse to look beyond your hilariously flawed anecdotal bias.

I never said that vaccines cause people to die; only that allergic reactions can happen. Like I'm allergic to avocados. I think they taste good, but my stomach doesn't. Same with white chocolate (other forms of chocolate are fine). Even if I eat just a little bit, I still have stomach discomfort.
