    Why do you think you need to have a vaccine in order to travel? You need a PCR test, whether vaccinated or not. Only country I've seen a requirement to be vaccinated recently has been KSA. In bold red print when asked to go there recently.

    These vaccines shouldn't even be on the market.

    They could only obtain their emergency use authorisations if there was no effective treatment available. But there was and is one: ivermectin.

    Ivermectin—a safe, cheap and effective preventative and treatment—had to be suppressed so that the vaccines could come to market. It's immoral and evil.

    Just read your post now, and I Googled Ivermectin out of curiosity.

    Data Supports Use of Anti-Parasitic Drug Ivermectin in COVID-19 Patients, Study Shows

    American Journal of Therapeutics

    It makes for very interesting reading all the various reports and ongoing studies, from a few months ago, up until now. People can Google information for themselves and make up their own minds.

    I will not be taking a Covid 19 vaccine at least for now. I am currently taking Ivermectin as a prophylactic.

    I really hope Ivermectin turns out to be an effective drug for covid-19.
    What is your plan though, are you going to take Ivermectin indefinitely? A lot of people think the virus isn't going to go away, so I would imagine the threat will persist, the advantage of the the vaccine being that your immune system is now capable of handling the virus rather than having to continually take some medicine.

    I will continue to take it as a prophylactic using the FLCCC protocol until the new case numbers here get close to zero. From then on I plan to take Ivermectin only if I detect symptoms or if I'm travelling to a place where there is a high number of cases.

    That FLCCC website is certainly backed by some interesting characters.

    Dangerously it says that Invermectin is as effective as a vaccine, this is demonstrably false and a dangerous statement to make.

    I'm also unsure of the long term effects of taking Invermectin continuously, for river blindness and worms it's a one or a couple of doses and done medicine.

    But, hey, if you want to be a guinea pig :)

    🤣 LMAO! Everyone taking Covid vaccines are guinea pigs.

    I still haven't gotten a vaccine and I'm still alive, haven't caught anything. I was thinking about maybe getting them, but this has put me off again.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,263 ✭✭✭Varkov


    Jesus Christ, don't believe anything you watch on Bitchute. One of the last havens of the far right, racists and conspiracy nutjobs. The people who get kicked off youtube for being so extreme.

    Curious to see if others have choose not to get a vaccine? I myself have choose not too, considering my age, and no underlying health conditions and not obese. And before some smartarse says you' re putting other people at risk, well i say to you if you're vaxxed then you're not at risk, so don't try and play that card.



  • Registered Users Posts: 31,023 ✭✭✭✭Lumen


    It's great to see the voices in your head having a grand old debate before the thread starts.



  • Registered Users Posts: 13,546 ✭✭✭✭cj maxx


    Why choose to not have the vaccine??? Idiot IMO



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,437 ✭✭✭Real Donald Trump


    Early 20's and not obese with no underlying conditions, not at risk



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,389 ✭✭✭irishguy1983



    Fair enough and up to yourself...Could be wrong here but I’m guessing in your 20’s you are hitting pubs, nightclubs, going on holidays....What are your thoughts on being able to go indoors at the moment?? Does it bother you? I’d say a lot of people your age got it just so they can go inside/go for a pint/etc...



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,437 ✭✭✭Real Donald Trump



    I won't be going to place that require covid certs and all that lark tbh, some of them aren't checking either, they don't want the hassle, and who can blame them?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,389 ✭✭✭irishguy1983


    Fair enough - it would be my main concern if I was your age/going out a lot....Which I was at your age!



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,478 ✭✭✭harr


    Who says your not at risk or you don’t have underlying issues you don’t know about . I know one particularly healthy 26 year old who ended up in ICU last year and like OP taught he was invincible. He was in gym 4 times a week and was training for his 10th marathon, now the poor fucker can’t run 5km without his breathing stopping him.

    Yes you might argue the possibility of that happening are one in thousands yes but still doesn’t take away from the fact it happens.

    What ever reason people are for or against the vaccine I don’t care but please dont presume because you are fit and healthy this virus can’t **** you up big time



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,437 ✭✭✭Real Donald Trump


    I just don't see the big deal about people complaining about others who are vaccinated about people who are un vaxeed for whatever their own personal reasons and just cannot accept it, considering they're are safe with vaccine, the mind boggles



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,437 ✭✭✭Real Donald Trump


    Nearly 20 thousand cases in the last 2 weeks, are they all flooding the hospitals? get a grip pal. The scare mongering has to stop

    From the thread title I thought you weren't going to be bothered about the vaccine and hadn't given it a whole load of thought.

    However, given that you bothered to even start this thread and also from what you are saying it seems that you are quite bothered about the vaccine and have given it some thought and have consciously chosen not to get it rather than just not bothering to turn up for one of the convenient no-appointment walk up vaccination centres.

    Did you get your childhood vaccines......or were your parents "not bothered" about those too?



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,437 ✭✭✭Real Donald Trump


    I've been vaxed as a child, just feel the need that i don't need this one, for reason's above etc,



  • Registered Users Posts: 2,006 ✭✭✭lc180


    OP does seems very bothered to be honest. Really should change the title to "Anyone not bothered about their Saturday morning and want to argue an anti-vaxxer"



  • Registered Users Posts: 4,325 ✭✭✭iLikeWaffles


    A Vaccine does not make you immune, it only teaches your body about a virus and how to respond quickly to it. Getting a vaccine for Covid-19 does not protect you from getting Covid-19 you can still get it. What the vaccine does do is give you a low grade version of Covid, the parts that hold the information that your own immune response can go attack and learn about what it is that a particular virus does when in your system. With the Covid-19 Vaccine there is still a chance that you can get Covid, however your body knows what it is where it goes and how it does it so when it detects it in your system it responds quicker than it would if it didn't have the information.

    Pretty bad decision not getting it based on not being obsessed or not having underlying health conditions. Sure you might be able to fight, but is it worth the risk? The risk being a very high potential of being in the ICU for weeks and having months of recovery because of not being informed both unconsciously and consciously.

    This might jeopardise your early 20’s man!

    Word of advice. You won’t get those years back, you only live once.

    I turned 30 this year and god how I wish I was early 20’s again. I’ve too much responsibility now I never see my mates. Seeing them today for the first time in months and I’ve been like a kid at Christmas all week.

    if I was early 20’s I’d be getting the j&j jab so I could chase tail. One dose and little side effects, party on! But each to their own I suppose. I think the fear of looking back and regretting missing those times would be enough for me to get it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 977 ✭✭✭revelman


    You have a very small risk of getting seriously ill if you catch Covid. But I’d look at it this way:

    I am about to get in my car. I could drive to my destination without putting on my seat belt and I’d probably be fine since it is just a couple of miles down the road. The chances of being in an accident are incredibly low. But I’ll put on my seatbelt to protect myself and others even if there is an incredibly small risk.

    The vaccines are incredibly safe. Billions of people, including the richest and most powerful people in the world, have already received their vaccines. If I were you, I’d take it.



  • Registered Users Posts: 1,039 ✭✭✭jpfahy


    No, the Covid vaccine is completely different to previous vaccines. It is an MRNA messenger vaccine which works in a new and different way.



  • Registered Users Posts: 3,338 ✭✭✭HBC08


    When I was the same age as you I might have thought along the same lines,however I had idiot ideas on a lot of things at that time too.

    I'm trying to look at it through your eyes,the most important things in life are partying and chasing girls/boys.I would get the jab for the sake of 15 minutes out of one day to have peace of mind when out socialising,going to the cinema,gigs,traveling etc.

    Sure,you might be able to get into a few pubs that don't check but it'll happen regularly enough that you won't be able to do the things your friends do or go to the same places.All because of what?



  • Registered Users Posts: 6,368 ✭✭✭iwillhtfu


    That's the funny thing about underlying illness, you don't know about them until you wake up in hospital or in some instances don't.

    Get the vaccine if you are indeed in your twenties I'm sure you've put worse shite into your body.

    Humanity is composed of self and others. Nobody wants to have to get a vaccine but if self isn't a good enough reason, then the well being of others should be. We are pack animals. Announcing that you're not getting the vaccine indicates a contemptuous relation to the pack. Try as one might, we can't cheat the pack aspect of being human without suffering psychologically and/or socially down the line. Putting aside the ethics of increasing the risk to others by not getting the vaccine, you may think you are preserving yourself here, but you are actually self-harming.

    I prescribe two panadol, a nice cup of tea and five years dedicated to destruction of all grandiose and isolated elements of the ego.
