A few users have asked about death by covid, a few more have expressed ambivalence, and many have stated that they won't get the vaccine.

I know there are already a few threads about this but please don't try to CTB by covid; please get the vaccine.

The people who spread the myth that the virus is a hoax are getting it already: the people responsible for so much death and grief and economic suffering. And other strains may emerge if we don't get it under control—some already are in London.

As soon as it's available, even tho I still plan to CTB next year, I'm getting mine out of spite.

Thank you bov, it is strange to see that a few people here either don't seem to think covid is real/downplay it as totally harmless or view it as a surefire way to pass peacefully when the survival rate for younger people is over 98%. You don't want post viral complications, they are truly godawful.

One of my family members died from covid and yet many others who knew my relative still claim the virus is a massive hoax. Sure, you can make points about the government being intrusive or their response being shit, but that shouldn't be used as a clandestine way of trying to shoehorn in some conspiracies that covid never existed and its all a nothingburger.

I won't be getting the vaccine because it hasn't been tested in people with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome like myself, and I think it is far too early in the development for me to make that sort of gamble, but if you do not have any health issues that would be a cause for concern, you should try to get it when it's offered. I don't think anyone except the elderly are getting it here for the foreseeable future though, so you'll probably have to wait awhile.

I want to get the vaccine, but I would have to go in the car with my ex, and even the thought is giving me bad anxiety. He did so much to intentionally hurt me. I can barely handle being in the same space when we do kid exchange... I'm not used to anxiety. I'm not an anxious person so I know how to regulate it in theory, but my body doesn't really know how. ugh fuck all this.

Of course people have the right to say no. Saying no, however, is also fairly stupid.
why?

is it stupider than blindly getting a VERY rushed vaccine that is making some people have negative side effects?

I'm not saying that no one should get it, quite the opposite in fact, but honestly, unless you are in the high-risk group or are required to get it, then people should wait and see how this plays and then make a decision themselves.

I almost died of a fever and I can say it's definitely not a terrible way to die, but contracting the virus itself will put everyone around you at risk.
I get pissed off by people who don't wear masks when engaging with or near others.
Yes, your health is your choice, but masks don't protect you, they protect other people, you don't have the right to put someone else's life on the line.

I agree that Covid is a terrible way to ctb. Personally though, I'm abstaining from the vaccine for now because I still don't trust it plus I don't like needles. A vaccine wouldn't be as effective on me anyway because I'm diabetic and overweight and vaccines for things like this are proven to be less effective on people like me so I'd rather just hope that enough people around me get vaccinated. If I were to get vaccinated though, I'd look into which manufacturer made the one you're about to get because I've heard reasons to not trust the Pfizer vaccine though Moderna's should be more okay. At least from what I've heard.

There is no science that indicates that an overweight or diabetic person is less impacted by a vaccine.

Corona is in a class of viruses that has existed for a long time; we've already made vaccines for similar strains. And of course this was rushed, this is the worst public health crisis of the century. Would you wave away a fireman when your neighborhood's on fire because he seemed rushed?

I wouldn't want to die via Covid, it's not a pleasant death and it may be drawn out over a long painful period (days, weeks, months). I would definitely get the vaccine (myself) not only to protect others, but also myself too which would give me the health I need to pursue my method in the future (if and when my time comes).

Besides this article, it is already an established fact that obesity and diabetes weakens the immune system meaning that it will also weaken the ability for antibodies to retain memory of the RNA or DNA proteins that vaccines normally give to the immune system to copy.

Eh it's alright. Like I said, I have other reasons that aren't scientific at all too. I just don't like needles. It's why my diabetes is likely to worsen because I won't buy a glucometer either.

edit: And also I'm sorry that I'm basically part of the problem. :ahhha:

OK, out of all the terrible comparisons about the vaccine, this one takes the cake.

No, I don't have the risk of developing a terrible reaction from the fireman and he's probably not going to have a bad interaction with my health conditions long term. Also, firemans have existed for centuries and they are putting their lives at risk to save others, unlike mrna vaccines from a certain extremely corrupt big-pharma company with a long and verifiable track record of shady dealings and public court settlements where they had to give literal billions of dollars.

You make it seem as if by not getting the vaccine I'm being directly responsible for the health of others.

Here's a more accurate way of seeing it that's related to this website, Don't kill yourself and take your medicines for the rest of your life, or you may and will affect the health of others with your CTB. I mean, you can choose to do it and probably save lives, but will you?

And just to be clear, I'm not condemning either thing, I ultimately believe in the freedom of the individual to make decisions regardless of what I think about them, sorry for sounding like a dick.

Covid is communicable. Contracting it doesn't only impact you, but potentially anyone you come into contact with. I'm not here to judge the feelings of others. CTB is a deeply personal decision. It is reckless & selfish to propagate a novel virus, however.
There are more self-contained methods.

The OP is right, don't get covid! These are the lucky ones who are in a hospital instead of being tortured to death by it at home:

Nearly every patient was on a ventilator. Some were in their 80s, some in their 30s. Medical workers were falling fast and had to be resourceful — "the alternative," one said, "is death."

merlin_171193326_bea294fa-6c4e-4261-9f5d-2f0919dd82d7-superJumbo.jpg


Nearly every person lying in a bed in the new intensive care unit, just as in the main one, was breathing with the help of a mechanical ventilator.
There were patients in their 80s and in their 30s. Patients whose asthma and diabetes helped explain their serious illness. And patients who seemed to have no risk factors at all. Patients from nursing homes. Patients who had no homes. Pregnant women, some of whom would not be conscious when their babies were delivered to increase their odds of surviving to raise their children.
This was the week that the coronavirus crisis pummeled the Brooklyn hospital, just as it did others throughout New York City, where the death toll reached more than 2,000, as the governor warned that vital equipment and supplies would run short in just a few days, as the mayor pleaded for more doctors and as hospital officials and political leaders alike acknowledged that the situation would get even worse. (from a New York Times article.)

We've never actually made a safe coronavirus vaccine before in the decades we've tried, so to suddenly have a dozen in less than 12 months raises worries for me, in terms of what they will do in the short and long term.

There's a good article from April here that explains some of the dangers, it's well worth a read.

We've never made a successful vaccine for a coronavirus before. This is why it's so difficult - ABC News

"One of the problems with corona vaccines in the past has been that when the immune response does cross over to where the virus-infected cells are it actually increases the pathology rather than reducing it," Professor Frazer said.

"We don't yet have vaccines against any coronaviruses in humans, in part due to the challenges of developing vaccines for viruses that infect the upper respiratory tract."

We have safe vaccines for it now. It's not new technology, they've worked on it for years. The Moderna one actually prevents severe covid in people who do get it. Not one person got severe covid, all the few cases were very mild.

According to Prof Ian Frazer (invented the HPV vaccine) we have never produced a safe coronavirus vaccine, ever.

Read the article, it's incredibly dangerous.

The guy knows what he's talking about, he's one of the leading experts in the world.

I'll take my chances with one. Anything but covid. I have asthma and am aware of what exactly having covid will do to me.

The point he's making is that in every previous coronavirus vaccine they've tried, if you have the vaccine, then get the disease, it effectively amplifies the disease and makes your response to it worse.

It basically makes the disease more deadly.

You *are* directly responsible fir the health of others. You endanger them if you don't wear a mask, if you don't distance and uf you dint get the vaccine.
If you want to ctb you are in fact the best candidate for the vaccine.
But judt because you want to ctb does not give you the right to put others who want to live at risk.

Please stop making assumptions, I distance myself from others to an extreme degree and I wear a mask every time I go out even if it's just a few meters away from my apartment. I, however, will not be taking the vaccine because I suffer from some delicate health issues and don't want to suffer more than I have to.

Yes, I have the right to say no the same way I'm saying no to this life. And I'm NOT responsible for the health of others, I can and often choose to do these things, but you can't force me or anyone to put things that we don't want in our bodies, the same way that others are not responsible for my health. period.

I can't believe that we are having this discussion in a pro-choice board.

People are getting their legs cut off from covid. And then some still die.





If people realized just how bad this was they would grab a vaccination without hesitation.

Moderna vaccine rolls out today. Those over 75 and people who work in grocery stores get the first batch.
