-I have to do something, ug!
-There is as much a chance of me having a severe reaction to shot as me winning the powerball, and I have no understanding as to how rare either of those events are.
-I’m going to not feel well for a day and I don’t want to

but really:

-I hate needles and am scared of shots but society has deemed I’m too old for this to be a valid excuse.

Just saving time here.

Some people who won't take the vaccine are "living in fear" of future side effects that will never happen.

Let me try asking you to look at this another way. What do you see as the drawback(s) of the vaccines? Why not take them?

At this point I’m convinced it’s ego for most anti-vaxxers.

Rather than admit they are wrong they continue to argue to save their precious ego.

No one ever answer the question “why” because there is no valid answer to why.

I recently learned about this quote from Alan Moore:

“The main thing that I learned about conspiracy theory, is that conspiracy theorists believe in a conspiracy because that is more comforting. The truth of the world is that it is actually chaotic. The truth is that it is not The Iluminati, or The Jewish Banking Conspiracy, or the Gray Alien Theory.

The truth is far more frightening - Nobody is in control.

The world is rudderless.”

I said similar earlier, people like to think we can control everything and we always blame the government for not doing enough to stop forrest fires, weather events, viruses,etc… the truth is we can do things to try to minimize them but ultimately mother nature is going to do what she‘s going to do.

Rather than accept that and take the precautions available it’s easier for some to stick their head in the sand, ignore the problem, and pretend it doesn’t exist.

The people at Ryanair have a good sense of humour:

Well, I just spoke to soon.

My brother tested positive, so out of caution, they are postponing Christmas until New Year's Day.

I'm bummed. This is my first Christmas without seeing my parents. :(
Sorry to hear that. We have Christmas with family this year but didn't at all last. Hope your brother does okay - wishing for as asymptomatic as possible.

Found out a friend of mine thought vaccines were not needed for kids under 12 so guess which in their house is covid+? Thing that gets me is they were trying to test to see if kid could be negative to see family. Never mind that the kid is still very symptomatic

No symptoms! He only tested just in case.

That's good at least! Is he doing a PCR to double check? Not to say all rapids are bad, but I know of more than one with false positives for asymptomatic particularly. That's why my family nixed testing if asymptomatic for this trip (all adults boostered, all teens who cannot be boostered are at least fully vaccinated). Which is good as tests were sparse.

Ugh, I have a friend who has an young-adult son (with no developmental issues whatsoever) who still uses this as an excuse. She enables it, too - "you don't understand, he's TERRIFIED of needles - used to take three doctors to hold him down when he was a kid". He's this 250LB/6' dude and I'm like...seriously? How much of a wuss is he? LOL. If you don't look, likely you wouldn't even feel them putting it in for the split second it takes.

Yes! He went for that right after, but no results yet.
