A willfully ignorant and childish response. Let me educate you on something:
1. Anti-vaxxers are people who are against any and all vaccinations at any age....they are a relatively small part of the population. People who have legitimate questions and can find factual and logical flaws in the declarations of the medical powers that be (mostly contradictions in their own public released papers) are NOT against any and all vaccines. then you have the rabid anti-gov't types who are against the federal gov't in general, coupled with the "deep state" conspiracy folks, who are now actually seeing some vestiges of their paranoia come to light.
2. The Covid shots are NOT vaccines, but experimental gene therapy that artificially kick starts your immune system to respond to a SPECIFIC virus. This is why you "need" 2nd and 3rd shots within less than a year...because it's NOT fully utilizing your own immune system to deal with the dead cells of the virus and permanently create anti-bodies. Hell, I once had to get a tetnus shot for stepping on a rusty nail....didn't need another for 5 years if it happened again.
3. Kid, you want to get the shot(s), then God be with you. As for me, it would seem that it depends on which state gives you a choice....some are going the "no jab, no job" route....got to wonder how long that will last before all hell breaks loose.
And the band played on.
During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

People with Certain Medical Conditions
Updated Oct. 14, 2021
Illustration of people with medical conditions
This information is intended for a general audience. Healthcare providers should see Underlying Medical Conditions Associated with Higher Risk for Severe COVID-19 for more detailed information.
What You Need To Know
People of any age with the conditions listed below are more likely to get severely ill from COVID-19.
COVID-19 vaccines (initial doses and boosters) and preventive measures for COVID-19 are important, especially if you are older or have multiple or severe health conditions including those on this list. Approved and authorized COVID-19 vaccines (initial doses and boosters) are safe and effective and should be administered to people at higher risk including people with underlying medical conditions.
This list does not include all possible conditions that place you at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19. If you have a condition not included here, talk to your doctor about how best to manage your condition and protect yourself from COVID-19.

Actions You Can Take
Overview
People of any age with the following conditions are more likely to get severely ill from COVID-19. Severe illness means that a person with COVID-19 may:
Be hospitalized
Need intensive care
Require a ventilator to help them breathe
Die
In addition:
Older adults are more likely to get severely ill from COVID-19. More than 81% of COVID-19 deaths occur in people over age 65. The number of deaths among people over age 65 is 80 times higher than the number of deaths among people aged 18-29.
The risk of severe COVID-19 increases as the number of underlying medical conditions increases in a person
Long-standing systemic health and social inequities have put various groups of people at increased risk of getting sick and dying from COVID-19, including many people from certain racial and ethnic minority groups and people with disabilities.
Studies have shown people from racial and ethnic minority groups are also dying from COVID-19 at younger ages. People in minority groups are often younger when they develop chronic medical conditions and may be more likely to have more than one condition.
People with disabilities are more likely than those without disabilities to have chronic health conditions, live in congregate settings, and face more barriers to healthcare. Studies have shown that some people with certain disabilities are more likely to get COVID-19 and have worse outcomes.
COVID-19 vaccination (initial doses and boosters) and preventive measures for COVID-19 are important, especially if you are older or have multiple or severe health conditions. Learn more about CDC’s COVID-19 vaccination recommendations, including how medical conditions and other factors inform recommendations. If you have a medical condition, learn more about Actions You Can Take.

Medical Conditions
This list is presented in alphabetical order and not in order of risk.
CDC completed an evidence review process for each medical condition on this list to ensure they met criteria for inclusion on this list. CDC conducts ongoing reviews of additional underlying conditions and some of these conditions might have enough evidence to be added to the list.
As we are learning more about COVID-19 every day, this list does not include all medical conditions that place a person at higher risk of severe illness from COVID-19. Rare medical conditions, including many conditions that primarily affect children, may not be included below. The list will be updated as the science evolves.
A person with a condition that is not listed may still be at greater risk of severe illness from COVID-19 than people of similar age who do not have the condition and should talk with their healthcare provider.

Cancer
Having cancer can make you more likely to get severely ill from COVID-19. Treatments for many types of cancer can weaken your body’s ability to fight off disease. At this time, based on available studies, having a history of cancer may increase your risk.

Immunocompromised state (weakened immune system)
Having a weakened immune system can make you more likely to get severely ill from COVID-19. Many conditions and treatments can cause a person to be immunocompromised or have a weakened immune system. Primary immunodeficiency is caused by genetic defects that can be inherited. Prolonged use of corticosteroids or other immune weakening medicines can lead to secondary or acquired immunodeficiency.
People who have a condition or are taking medications that weaken their immune system may not be protected even if they are fully vaccinated. They should continue to take all precautions recommended for unvaccinated people, including wearing a well-fitted mask, until advised otherwise by their healthcare provider.
People with moderately to severely compromised immune systems should receive an additional dose of mRNA COVID-19 vaccine at least 28 days after the second dose.

Hypocrites. You guys used to drone on because even just ONE death was unacceptable due to Covid. You all had to have ZERO infections/deaths to be satisfied.
But, you want to go full throttle on a useless jab no matter how many lives are ruined or lost. Hypocrites.

Colin Powell, who got the jab....a lot of chronic pre-conditions. He got "vaccinated against Covid", but got it anyway. Now he's dead.
So remember folks; according to the powers that be, if you have a chronic pre-condition and don't get the vaccine, get hospitalized and test "positive", your death is Covid related and it's your fault.
But if you have a chronic pre-condition and get the vaccine, get hospitalized and test "positive", your death is Covid related, and not attributed to the vaccine side effects or failure to do it's job.
And remember, the PCR tests are NOT designed to diagnose disease.
Just saying.

Covid shots are mRNa vaccines. They contain ribonucleic acid. It gives instructions as it is being injected. It is taken up by cells, but never enters the cell nucleus where DNA resides. It gives instructions to make proteins that match the Covid virus. The body recognizes it as foreign and develops an immune response including antibodies specific to the Trump virus. It has been around for 2 years. No hell is breaking loose.

Nice recitation...pity it changes nothing said in previous #2. Also note:
1) The current Covid "vaccines" are functioning under emergency authorization, and would NOT be allowed distribution to the general public under regular circumstances. Technically, they are still undergoing clinical trials.
2) This little gem from July of this year: https://www.businessinsider.com/fda-...ne-2021-7?op=1
3) and this: https://sharylattkisson.com/2021/06/...ccine-in-kids/
4) Your last 2 sentences stupidly ignore (or don't comprehend) what was said, as the "jab or no job" mandates have just started THIS YEAR in a few states.

I thought everyone on the left was a godless atheist.
How do you reconcile lying and spreading misinformation that -- assuming anyone believes you which thankfully no one does -- could cause someone to be harmed, with your self-professed Xtian faith? Or have you given that up in favor of your new religion -- Trumpism?
