COVID-19 Vaccines ….

“The vaccine has proven itself to be unreliable and is not preventing people from getting or transmitting the virus.” — Hattiesburg, MS resident

“They are not working. They are not stopping transmission.” — Miami Beach resident

“This vaccine is close to placebo. It is merely a stronger flu shot. Vaccinated people are still dying, the only reason why the percentage is low, is because the weakest already died.” — Miami Beach resident

“In areas of extremely high rates of vaccination including Gibraltar, which has a 120% vaccination rate, if you count the boosters, and even Vermont and Maine, all are experiencing incredibly high rates of new Covid cases including Covid hospitalizations, those hospitalizations being those people who are fully or partially vaccinated.” — Miami Beach resident

“This planet has thousands of viruses including 20+ strains of this SARS Covid that no vaccine will simply rid us of future risks.” — Miami Beach resident

“They are not telling all the side effects. Like infertility. For children can be a problem. For the elderly is ok. But there is a riser here that show 30% reduction of egg in female. The government needs to clarify it.” — Miami Beach resident

“Several reasons. Reports of geometric increase (historic rates) in miscarriages in pregnant mothers who are fully vaccinated. This can be corroborated in Canada spring a parliamentary hearing …. Pfizer quietly added an anti-heart attack medicine to the children’s version of their mRNA vaccine with no fanfare from the pores. Kind of a big deal considering the epidemic of myocarditis among youths who have been vaccinated. Couple that with the fact that it’s not truly a vaccine based on the FDA’s own definition of “vaccine”, and the fact that it was approved only under emergency use authorization, meaning that it was exempted from all of the required multi-year, gold standard, double-blind tests. until the mRNA technology was unleashed on the world population, it was never approved by the FDA. And then those tests were the mRNA vaccines were tested on ferrets which were then exposed to coronavirus, to determine likelihood of antibody dependent enhancement (ADE), all the ferrets died within 10 days. We are being lied to.” — Miami Beach resident

“Media and fauchi can go shove it. I got the J&J vaccine because it’s the only non mRNA one of the three and was shot down the most of the 3 by media.” — Greater Miami resident

“They are all untrustworthy and have an agenda. Rules for thee and not for me.” — San Francisco Bay Area resident

“The CDC vacillating is concerning and has caused me to doubt a once trusted healthcare resource.” — Hattiesburg, MS resident

“[This came from a vaccine proponent, who nonetheless felt concerned about the government’s handling of the issue] The CDC just lost a lot of credibility by changing how it’s defining risk levels (changing “high” from 10 in 100,000 to 200 in 100,000 case rates.)” — San Francisco Bay Area resident

“The federal government and the FDA change their position so often, that they don’t inspire trust.” — Miami Beach resident

“They are influenced by vaccine companies and globalists with nepharious intentions.” — Miami Beach resident

“It is hard to follow the advice of these agencies when 1. The “facts” keep changing 2. The people who work for these agencies do not follow their own guidelines or mandates 3. It has forced Healthcare to become political. 4. People who we used to hail as heroes are now vilified (nurses, truck drivers) 5. These agencies treat the average American as an idiot!” — Hattiesburg, MS resident

“They are clearly all liars just parroting what they’re told to say. Contradiction, censorship and absurd unfounded (and prob unconstitutional) mandates make authorities lose any credibility.” — Miami Beach resident

“I do not trust the government and the news media is just an arm of the Democratic Party so they are not trustworthy either. The vaccine has proven itself to be unreliable and is not preventing people from getting or transmitting the virus.” — Hattiesburg, MS resident

“However, the government has only been deceitful and the media has followed suit. They’ve hidden info about treatments which would have saved so many lives that were lost. They said don’t wear a mask, then wear a mask only if you think you are infected, then always wear a mask, then wear two masks, etc. Masks aren’t new technology so why the confusion on their recommended usage? …. Is it accurate to say that independent investigators were not and are not allowed into Wuhan? Is it accurate to say that China shut down domesticate flights in and out of Wuhan but not international flights? Why is the country and world not united in finding the source of this pandemic and letting the facts lead the way? How did the number of voters increase by 26 million people during a pandemic? Why would a pandemic result in signature verification requirements dropping to zero in some states? I just hope that somehow our nation emerges from this constitutional crisis stronger than before.” — Miami Beach resident

“[This came from a vaccine proponent, who nonetheless felt concerned about the government’s handling of the issue] While I trust research data, the policy implications based on such data are often interpretive or based on some risk. Due to a highly politicized climate, I don’t feel like there is an appetite for data based discussion – the actual research data is not widely known or is misreported, so we don’t even have a strong base for policy discussions. E.g. I understand the research that N95 masks reduce odds of testing positive by 83% vs 56% for cloth masks, however mask mandates do not specify mask type due to the difficulty of enforcement and muddies the waters when communicating mask effectiveness and mask mandates. Recently there has been a large scale of rescinding of mask mandates but the data behind these decisions is not clear as long term infection and death rates are not substantially changed (there have been multiple COVID peaks and valleys), so the motivation seems more political/popular dispite COVID still being the 3rd highest cause of death in the USA.” — San Francisco Bay Area resident

“Press and government are covering up high rates of damage and death. VAERS database only reports 10% of damage, etc.” — Miami Beach resident

“[This came from a vaccine proponent, who nonetheless felt concerned about the government’s handling of the issue] The federal govt, many health bodies seem to be making only educated guesses on this new vaccine. Understand that going in when reviewing info. Mainstream media has mainly just followed lock step with what the Fed Gov’t says and do very little to challenge their position. That’s not really how journalism is supposed to work.” — San Francisco Bay Area resident

“Why ask that question? All owned by the same company that makes the JAB? GIVE US ALL A BREAK????” — Miami Beach resident

“I have little trust of the government and zero trust of the media.” — Hattiesburg, MS resident

“Qualified dissenting voices (virologists, immunologists, epidemiologists, scientists, respected physicians etc.) have been suppressed in most western media and social media. The western media will not highlight any studies that have taken place in other countries that contravent the official United States narrative. This is very dangerous. People benefit from more information not less. Unfortunately the vast majority of Americans are trapped inside a bubble of institutional disinformation, leading them to make healthcare decisions that have lifelong consequences, without having true and full informed consent. What results is a dangerous spiral of cult-like behavior with Stockholm syndrome, due to the psychology of wanting to defend your position so as to avoid admitting that you have been conned or tricked.” — Miami Beach resident

“I don’t trust the government, the media or health bodies. They’ve spread so much conflicting information in the past 2 years.” — San Francisco Bay Area resident

“Don’t trust Fauci and friends in pharmaceutical industry. Certainly don’t trust our political leaders!” — Miami Beach resident

“[This came from a vaccine proponent, who nonetheless felt concerned about the government’s handling of the issue] They all have different goals. Mainstream media is to sell ads and cater to a certain point of view. The govt guidance is so the hospital system doesn’t overflow. The main health body can’t seem to makeup its mind on what it wants you do to.” — San Francisco Bay Area resident

“The govt is a joke, can’t trust Fauci at all.” — Miami Beach resident

“At this point in time, the federal government and health bodies are going to do what’s popular, not what’s smart…. You have government officials saying, still come in the office if you have covid but don’t have symptoms. So I think the guidelines are complete BS because these government bodies because they are not consistent with minimizing covid infections.” — San Francisco Bay Area resident

“Don’t trust the pharma paid government health bodies.” — Miami Beach resident

“I do not trust Biden and his cohorts with an individual’s health, mainstream media carries the message to do whatever they’re told by the administration, it’s about controlling the people !” — Hattiesburg, MS resident

“The science is not settled many different opinions I dont trust fauci.” — Miami Beach resident

“Gov officials should NOT have any say in peoples health. They are not treating covid patients, nor do they see the effects (many negative) from vaccination. The media is in bed with politicians, so they have been hard to trust at all the past year. All conspiracy theories 6 months ago have been proven to be spoiler alerts.” — San Francisco Bay Area resident

“Why would I trust the government?” — Greater Miami resident

“Our government is corrupted by relationships with big pharmaceutical companies and other nations. Anyone who can put 2 and 2 together should now realize the scheme coordinated by China and America (via Ecohealth) to disrupt societal order with the pandemic. Get Trump out of office, transfer wealth from the middle class to the upper, generating an excuse to print trillions of dollars, and testing how far we can be pushed to comply before the scheme deteriorates from resistance. Of course there have been plenty of well-meaning healthcare workers and other citizens. But the people at the top (Biden, Pelosi, Gates, Zuckerberg, Fink, Xi, Cuomo, Newsom, etc.) are nefarious and skilled in presenting a facade of a purely naturally-occurring pandemic and an earnest response from our leaders. Now that Moderna’s stock has crumbled and we’re approaching midterms, seems about time for our leaders to alleviate restrictions so to gain favor for elections.” — San Francisco Bay Area resident

“Neither know what they are talking about. They are paid to spew propaganda.” — Miami Beach resident

“I think they should mind their own business. We are supposed to have a limited government “ — Hattiesburg, MS resident

“This flu shot is just another cash cow for America.” — Miami Beach resident

“I don’t think our government should be paid/funded by the pharmacy companies they are supposed to oversee. They pay our agencies to assist with pushing me drugs through faster. When the laws were changed to remove liability and change payment programs we essentially removed the checks and balances. Another issue I have is how they’ve limited open discussions claiming false info when in fact they’ve majorally have been proven true. From the beginning I distrusted what was being pushed because I have some basic medical knowledge due to working 10 years as a Physical Therapist in a fairly decent size hospital. I was taught proper PPE usage for safety, diseases, immunity and how or immune system works, plus gained much more knowledge over the years. So I knew that several things they were saying were esp after summer 2020 were straight lies based on well documented old science. …. Media and the government reporting skewed and manipulated data that included everyone in hospitals and not removing the ones that were there for other things I’d misleading. I now stay at home and have much time on my hands and have done my own research, have read way to many research papers, and found some well qualified individuals that further explain without biases. Now we still have mandates in place despite it’s ineffectiveness against the new variants but are still being pushed with misleading data backed by inconclusive weak research. FYI many of the research papers that came out in beginning and throughout that looked to back what was being told I read and they were mostly written by employees of pharma and connected research\universities. They would leave out or not look at relevant info that was needed to draw correct conclusions. I’m not a nut, I’m just obsessed with knowing truth, right or wrong. I have kids, family I truly worried about so I always research anything reported. I implore to please do your own research. Read carefully, listen to what is said carefully, question everything. This government has proven it will lie and follow zero logic! “ — MS resident from other than Hattiesburg

“If we had proper guidance from the onslaught, there would be less hesitation to get vaccinated, wear masks, distance and keep one another safe.” — Miami Beach resident

“I feel these discussions are one sided and not equally open to all viewpoints “ — Hattiesburg, MS resident

“Particularly after 2021’s Federal Executive Branch played flip flop Partisan Politics with the same Vaccine that they claimed to reject during their 2020 Election Campaign only now to Cram it down our throats and restrict Civil Liberties, attempting to Control the Sovereignty of a Citizen’s Choice with our Bodies; the Hypocrisy is clearly untrustworthy. Likewise, Dr. Fauci’s agenda appears to line the deep pockets of Pharmaceutical Companies who are no longer liable for adverse patient cases.” — Miami Beach resident

“The Federal Government is not qualified to give advice. Every person is different.” — Hattiesburg, MS resident

“I don’t think there’s a one and only statement coming from the above. On the contrary, I think that the government, CDC, WHO have done a shitty job with misinformation, creating fear and draconian measures. The cherry on the top is the media that has milked this throughout. They are the ones to blame for the current situation and the politicians have prostituted the pandemia using it to widen the already divisiveness in the country.” — Miami Beach resident

“don’t trust any of these establishments” — San Francisco Bay Area resident

“Different governments and regulatory bodies across the world give different advice on the same topics with matching levels of certainty. For example, when the CDC authorized that children be vaccinated, the WHO cautioned against vaccinating children. The views expressed by health bodies will always bend and then previous views they held will be denounced.” — Greater Miami resident

“More care should be taken to not share misinformation on the vaccines by these agencies.” — Greater Miami resident

“I don’t trust the information we are receiving. The media and public officials ignore negative effects of the vaccine so we are only presented with biased information” — Miami Beach resident

“I don’t really trust the mainstream media nor the Federal government. “ — resident outside Miami-Dade

“I trust none of them.” — Greater Miami resident

“It’s an outrage that the pharmaceuticals are lying, and the press is covering for the lies. Couple that with the fact that social media is suppressing commentary and documentation from known and respected dissenting scientists, and you have a very dangerous recipe.” — Miami Beach resident

“There is a power system in place controlled by very wealthy people who are invested in pharmaceutical companies such as Pfizer. They ultimately control the pandemic narrative and are inclined to be pro vaccine mandate as that helps boost tax dollar funded Covid vaccines. They often own mainstream media outlets, fund health bodies, and work side by side with the federal government. With this knowledge in hand, when these bodies are all endlessly telling everyone to get vaccinated, saying that that’s the only path to health, when we know that there are lots of other more effective ways to improve health such as by improving diet, reducing refined oil and fast food consumption, exercise, etc. It becomes apparent there’s an agenda to push these vaccines that is seperate from an imperative to keep the citizens healthy. Not to mention many doctors who are explicitly speaking out against getting vaccinated such as America’s Frontline Doctors and Dr Robert Malone who worked with mRNA technology and was arguably one its inventors.” — Miami Beach resident

“Fauci prevented thousands of aids patients from getting access to generic drugs, costing thousands of lives, because he was pushing his own agenda to make money on expensive drugs. He cannot be trusted …. If anyone wants their lives back and any kind of a decent future for their children all of this vaccine stuff needs to be stopped …. They are simply a method to gain compliance and track people with digital passports.” — Miami Beach resident

“20 years later still can’t bring water through airport security “ — Greater Miami resident
