It is getting difficult to trust your credibility. You have your one.opinion and you are sticking to it. I believe it will be years before the full truth comes out. I thought when the vaccines first came out, that a few years from now we would see the lawyer ads asking for calls from those who were harmed, or had family members killed by the vaccine. I know that won't happen since the government has set it up so that the drug companies producing these shots can not be held legally liable for any harm caused. They will be able to keep the billions of dollars profits with no worries. That, along with lack of FDA approval, is enough to give me pause. Though I completely agree with your post, I take issue with one sentence: "It is getting difficult to trust your credibility." I'm hoping you meant "their" and not "your". The latter is a sort of back handed personal attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is purely anecdotal. That should tell you something about the reliability of your data. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not talking about data reliability. I'm talking about my personal experience. And I have a VERY broad circle of friends all over the US. The US is made up of a lot of cultures. I have little doubt that some cultures within it have a large number of people over 65 who actually want to be vaccinated. I'm saying that in my circles, the opposite is true.

Anecdotally--my experience is the same. I could say much more regarding that, but I will refrain. Suffice it to say that my experience across a large community that has not worn masks nor practicing anything remotely like distancing; in fact the opposite and nobody knows anybody that got sick. And this over some 20 states over the year plus. In fact, I had a full physical a couple months ago and asked for the anti-body test. It returned as clean. My experience has not been anything like what I see on the media. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes you have to ask, "why should I believe what they tell me?" Or, as us old hippies used to say in the 60's, "question authority." Trust needs to be earned. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I meant that if your only data is the CDC, I don't trust the credibility. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You never trusted it to begin with! I asked because I was wondering which story changes you were referring to specifically. It was not an invitation for an insult. I apologize for my earlier post, I didn't mean it to be an insult. I see now that it came out that way. BTW, telling me my words are silly isn't so nice either. You don't know what I have trusted or not. I will leave this discussion now. May all blessings come your way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
