Here is the title and post I intended to make:

The more "anti-vaxx" I become, the better I feel about it

A lot of people who regret taking the COVID shots, not a lot of people who regret not taking it.

I was a bio major on a premed track for over two years before I switched to mathematics/computer science, so I wasn't always opposed to vaccinations. I bought into the mainstream narrative that they're miracles of science and viewed skeptics as kooks. I only started becoming skeptical after getting multiple vaccines on my first day in marine boot camp. That night, I had the worse fever of my life. I was in excruciating pain. It took about 7 hours for the fever to finally break. It was terrifying. Naturally, I started to wonder if maybe the "anti-vaxx" people were on to something, but I still remained firmly in the "pro-vaxx" camp despite almost being killed by a vaccine, which shows you the power of big pharma propaganda.

The dam of skepticism finally broke in 2020 with the emergence of the COVID regime and the subsequent terrorism campaign waged against anyone who didn't want the shots. My skepticism crystallized into outright opposition and defiance at that point. Not only do I oppose the COVID shots (which aren't real vaccines), I oppose pretty much all vaccines now, except for very limited circumstances where a person's natural immunity is weakened or dysfunctional. In fact, I feel the same about almost all pharmaceuticals. The last time I used a pharmaceutical was like 5 years ago when I took an ibuprofen for extreme neck pain from an injury I had. I don't deny that these things can be useful, but my rule of thumb is to avoid them whenever possible.

I haven't been to a dentist since 2008. Is my mouth full of cavities and gum disease? Nope. My mouth is just fine. Because I never drink pop, I rarely eat junk food, and I brush my teeth.

I haven't had a flu shot since 2008 (the marines made me do it). How many times have I had the flu since 2008? Zero times.

I didn't get the COVID shots. Did I end up in the hospital or dead from COVID? Nope. I got it, was sick for a couple of days, and that was it.

The further away I get from western "medicine", the better I feel about my decision, the more liberated I feel. So if people want to ridicule me as an "anti-vaxxer", then go right ahead. I don't care. I'll put my faith in evolution and you put your faith in Pfizer and we'll see who lives a longer, healthier, and happier life.

The more we find out about this the more I am worried about my wife who took the first 2 shots because she was worried about my cancer. I took the first Shot, but then was given the Antibodies. instead of the shots and I have had Covid 2 times neither was a bad as having a sinus infection. Now it could be that I was just lucky but I don't think I will ever get a Vaccine.

We need a sub forum dedicated to Ethereal’s anti COVID shot rants.

We all know people who took it. I talked my oldest sister out of the second shot. Her child, my niece is a Dr. I told all my kids not to take it and they didn't, nor did I.

Western medicine is great for acute conditions. But they utterly fail with chronic ones- we seem to be stuck on treating the symptoms and not focusing on causes and a healthy lifestyle in the first place.

So far as the COVID vax goes, they never should have been mandatory. The global mass vax campaign caused the various mutations. The vax campaign should have focused on the at-risk population.

I would be considered in the 'high risk' category, but because I have multiple autoimmune issues which put me in the category, my Dr felt I shouldn't get the jab. I wouldn't have either way, since balancing several AI issues that hinge on the status of the others, it would be taking a chance on throwing one or the other off balance.

You are correct, Big Pharma doesn't address the causes, just the symptoms. It's more profitable that way.

Vaccines with an autoimmune disorder is a double-edged sword. There seems to be a link to serious vaccine reactions with autoimmune disorders.

I took the COVID shot and died. I wish so bad I had never taken it. I should have been scared like everyone else. Now it's too late.
