Annual visit to my GP and he asked if I had taken the vaccine. I sternly said no and he was curious why. I told him over 9000 dead in the US alone, hundreds of thousands injured including myocarditis, seizure disorders, skin issues, memory loss, and neurological damage. And added that the UK reporting seems even more severe than in the US, but similar results in terms of what impacts they are feeling.
He is very up on the myocarditis and won't vaccinate teens because of it, but he's not aware of the stats in the VAERS database. I told him I'd prefer he went to the site and verified himself instead of just hearing it from me so that he's as informed as all physicians should be on the topic.
Final argument I made was at any time I can change my mind if its merits are later fixed in the future and I had a need. For now I am treatable with multiple medicines (HCQ and Ivermectin), chance of death from it incredibly low, and there is simply no reason to get it without proper testing and validation, which it has failed miserably already but not talked about in the mainstream.
He stopped questioning and said he will research it. That's all I ask. Another win for the informed.
One other argument to make is that the vaccine doesn't work.
The ship HMS Queen Elizabeth recently had an outbreak of the delta variant. The entire crew was fully vaccinated, yet 100 crew members out of a total crew of 700 caught the delta variant.
Mask wearing, social distancing, and track and trace were enforced on the ship, so they don't work either.
We have known ever since the Diamond Princess cruise ship (where the average age of the passengers was 68) that 80% of the general population already have pre-existing cross immunity, and we now know this is from previous exposure to 4 earlier corona viruses. Yet despite this, 14% of the fully vaccinated crew still caught the delta variant.
Tl;dr The vaccines don't work.
