    Thats a big ask if you are





    I can't tell you why you should be worried about the vaccine but if you have doubts, queries, concerns, ask yourself the following questions:
    • Do you trust a vaccine that was developed in record time compared to other vaccines that took many many years to develop?
    • Do you trust a vaccine that is being developed by companies that have pushed for exemptions from lawsuits from any harmful side effects and complications?
    • Do you trust a government that has agreed to indemnify five drug companies producing Covid-19 vaccines against any liabilities that arise from complications?
    • Do you trust RNA vaccines when there was very limited clinical studies for long term effects of the vaccine?
    • Do you trust the clinical trials of the vaccine or believe they were done sufficiently?
    • Do you believe the clinical trials were done for long enough to establish any medium to long term side effects?

    These would be the questions I have asked myself and are the reasons I have based my decision on why I wont be taking it

    I hope this answers your question

    Why should people answer your questions (many of which have already been answered over and over on this thread) when you refuse to answer any posed to you?

    I never asked anyone to answer my questions, I asked them to ask themselves

    I dont need to know

    Hope this helps

    Not really...I'm still waiting for you to fulfil your promise to me of an explanation of your conspiracy theory...

    I hope this answers your question
    But as we've seen you don't have any rational reason for any of these fears beyond your general fear of scientific words and ignorance of how vaccines and viruses work.

    And on top of that, you are have had to be very dishonest to pretend your concerns are based on rational reasons.
    This is shown in your above questions which have many misrepresentation that have been explained to you in detail many times.

    Again, the vaccines have been proved to be safe. That's simply a fact.
    You have to invent a mad conspiracy theory to explain away from this fact.

    You've been shown that the chances of ANY side effect from vaccines are thousands of times less likely than dying from covid.
    You maintain that covid isn't something to worry about. Thus you should maintain that the vaccines are even less of a thing to worry about.
    You've been asked to explain this contradiction before, but you ran away because you can't explain it. Another example of the dishonesty you have to engage it.

    Only you can answer the first question but the world will return to normal with or without you taking it because there are enough people who don't see it as a conspiracy.

    My answer to all the other questions is yes except for the last because it is impossible to establish the medium to longterm side effects. I believe the correct procedures were followed albeit in a different sequence than they have for other vaccines. I am unlikely to be offered the vaccine in the first half of 2021 and by then millions of people will have been vaccinated by then so any harmful effects will most likely be discovered before then.

    Are you sceptical of everything new or just this? The vaccine was developed in record time but maybe that's because they weren't starting from scratch like they have been with other vaccines. They used previous research on coronavirus and mRNA that has been in development for decades to develop the vaccine. It's a bit like a car company, they don't have to reinvent the wheel every time a new model is produced.

    You've answered some questions now try this one....What is the conspiracy theory??

    You used your lifeline

    what really baffles me is that people are saying they are wearing masks in case they may have COVID to protect others as its difficult to tell if you have the virus

    So when you get the vaccine and they take their mask off, do they still think they cant pass covid onto someone?

    Because if they do they are wrong...!!!

    Once you get the vaccine you can still get COVID, but you just wont get sick/hospitalized or die from it (as the vaccine is supposed to protect you)
    So if you dont feel the symptoms, but if there is someone out there who is vulnerable, maybe cant take the vaccine for health reasons, the vaccinated person can still spread it
    Thats similar to being a superspreader

    What lifeline? I just asked the only question that you don't seem to be able to answer.

    I don't think anyone will be advised to stop wearing masks until it's proven that people who are vaccinated can't spread the virus. This is really simple stuff. Why are you trying to complicate it and make it sound like a conspiracy when it clearly isn't?

    Just to clarify, if I was offered the vaccine tomorrow I would take it without hesitation. If that makes me a Guinea pig in your eyes then believe me I won't lose any sleep over it.

    Care to explain what's going on?
    Cause it's been 54 pages and not a single conspiracy theorist has been able to explain it.
    Just a lot of ignorance and lies.

    Even though your vaccinated, you always have the potential to spread it

    That wont change over time

    for anyone who is not in the first few categories to get the vaccine, that is a very easy statement to make

    Try telling that to an OAP in a care home who has no next of kin and is scared to death of someone putting a needle in their arm against their wishes

    Again, you've been telling us that the death toll from covid is not something to worry about. This death rate is far higher in these OAPs you're suddenly so worried about.
    You've been shown the chances of any side effects of vaccines are thousands of times less likely than dying from covid.

    Your concern here is obviously false.
    You aren't actually all that bothered about the welfare of older people. If you were, you'd be far more concerned about the effects of covid than the possible effects of a vaccine that you can't actually point to or explain.

    This is simply a dishonest ploy you're trying to save face by appealing to emotion about the safety of older people.

    How many of these people have you spoken to in your research? What about the OAP's in a care home who are scared to death of covid19 because it has caused the death of so many people like them?

    read some of Peter Doshi's articles from the BMJ

    https://www.bmj.com/content/371/bmj.m4037

    Tal Zaks, chief medical officer at Moderna
    Our trial will not demonstrate prevention of transmission,” Zaks said

    So none of the 7 companies producing a vaccine ran tests for the interruption of transmission (person to person spread)

    I think thats an important key factor, dont you?

    There are vaccine and Covid threads for this stuff, what's the conspiracy relevance of any of this?

    So from that you managed to jump to the conclusion that the vaccine will never stop the transmission of the virus?

    Seriously this is nothing to do with a conspiracy. You're just looking for a reason not to take the vaccine.

    It wasnt tested, WHY? Because they knew it cant stop the transmission
    2 months of testing wouldnt allow for that

    I know my reasons for not taking the vaccine

    I guarantee you that you wont hear or see many main stream media broadcaster divulge that crucial information
    I'd love to know why

    They will just tell you about the 95% efficacy

    What crucial information? It's been well reported that there is unsurity about whether the vaccine stops transmission of the virus.
    Will the crucial information help me to figure out what the conspiracy is?

    General ignorance of how vaccines work and lack of understanding is not evidence of a conspiracy.

    If you are under 50 years old and get the Covid you have 99.95% chance of surviving. There is no need for a vaccine.
