To be fair, if you are scared of the vaccine you could just not get it.... 

Haha yes.   I just don't relate waiting to get the vaccine as being scared.  Though I'm sure there are people that are, and rightfully so.  The pharmaceutical industry is a dirty one.

If a mask protects against the flu, as by your own admission it does, wouldn’t it stand to reason that it also protects against covid?

I'm sure they help, is the statement you quoted not factual?   To the extent they help with covid is debatable.

Afraid of the vaccine? Just stay home. 

Agree with this, afraid (of virus, of vaccine etc) stay home.  

At least masks have been effective at eliminating the flu. 

Mask mandates = covid cases rise, flu cases fall.

In all my life I never thought little ole Pioneer, OH would be in a discussion on here haha used to kayak all the time on Bird Lake just north of there.

This isn’t that complicated folks, get your vaccine and live life without fear

Or don't get the vaccine....or choose to wait...and still live without fear.

Now we are complaining about a vaccine passport?  First complain about masks, now that?  Quit bitching and do what you’re asked, is that so tough?

Yes that is correct.  No thanks

How does making a personal choice to wear a mask make one “afraid”? It’s a decision.

I don't know about your state, but I haven't been able to go to work, a store, or other business without a mask for probably 10 months.  That part isn't much of a choice.

Do you ever drive or fly?

I've posted my reasoning for not getting the vaccine.  Not being high risk with high risk individuals being the priority is my number one reason.  Skepticism of a rushed vaccine is second.  I am open to changing my view with time.

I glanced at that OpenVAERS link.  They claim they are using the data from VAERS, just in a more user friendly way.  The data itself may not fabricated. 

The one time I tried to use the actual VAERS site, I found it to be pretty clunky.  Was on my phone so not sure if that had anything to do with it.

Thanks, that's what I interpreted as well.  Not meant to read too much into it, but we know there are reactions from the vaccine.

The problem here is that you actually believe that you are properly equipped and informed to decide on your relative risk of getting covid complications vs. your relative risk of getting vaccine complications. You are not. Reading that website without proper analysis or context will cause you to overweigh vaccine risk...which is what you've been doing since the jump. 

I sure do, along with medical professionals feel being low risk, there is no need to rush to get the vax.   I respect those that chose to get the vax, no problem with that.   

Edit;. I'm sure you're going to say you have medical professionals that say otherwise.  We will just disagree.

It's intended to drive fear. It's obvious. There is absolutely no context behind the numbers reported on that site. 

I should create a site with all the reports of people who get sick or die after taking Tylenol. It would scare the shit out of you. 

Fair enough,  just looks like it posts reports of possible vaccine reactions. I did state the word Possible in my post.   We know there are people that have the reactions.

Dwight Schrute with another own goal lol

Edit: Weird how the people who are saying that those who wear a mask are afraid of the virus are then so afraid of a vaccine. It's always projection with these people.

How is making a personal choice to not take the covid vaccine making one Afraid?  It's a decision.

That's an anti vax site.

So the data is false?   I am not talking about the deaths, I linked the site for "reactions" or possible reactions to the vax.

Not sure if this was posted, but this website has all of the (possibly) related severe reactions to all covid "vaccine" .

Trying to find the comment in question... is it “anti-vax sh*theads” or “I don't want people catching covid because of their own stupidity. Do you?”

I find neither to be all that extreme.

 

Lol those are some gems, but there are alot more (unless there's been careful editing..).   Pay attention how he responds to @schoeppeya when legitimate data is asked for or further explaining. Or how he tells @MJO812 to get out of this thread etc..   Responses are from someone with lacking people skills acting it's his way or the highway.  There's room for both sides, not just his "extremist" attitude.

You’ve been on a weather forum for 7.5 years and have 45 posts about weather and roughly 140 about coronavirus. You’re not here to discuss weather, you’re here to discuss coronavirus (which is fine, if you’re not going around calling people losers because they have a different opinion from you). But of course he’s going to be skeptical of that pattern.

You do realize you just pretty much described stebo right?

I was really hoping to be done with the snow. Intense snow bands rolling through now. Probably over 4" total... but a lot of melting throughout the day. Hopefully this is the last of it for the season. 

Right at 5" total, rather sneaky event as these late season ones tend to be.  Agreed, let's move on to spring. I've still got alot of clean up to do from the early December storm  Grass starting to green up, could be an early first mow this year.

Do you have one of these?   I'm sure these will be the next hit.

How are we the lucky ones to get this glorious thread?

This particular one is more curious than most.  The odds of a 39 year old person dying are not particularly high to begin with, but when you look at the timeline of when that woman experienced symptoms and then died, it is natural to wonder if the vaccine triggered something. 

As was said, use VAERS with extreme caution.  Very easy to twist data from there.

Thanks, there are many similar stories.  I posted because of the comment by the medical examiner.  Didn't realize it was that hard to pinpoint a vax as the cause.  Could be why we don't see many related deaths, but instead mysterious ones.

I’ll try to spend my afternoon working and not sitting on Twitter making a montage of all of the people with views on your side of the political aisle being keyboard warriors themselves, but it’s going to be tough. Keyboard warriors are prevalent on both sides of the aisle, and in no greater numbers on one side than the other.

O yes, they exist on both sides.

Oh look. Another racist false equivalency. 

Perhaps a bit extreme.  Still, it's a ridiculous thought.

I’m not even arguing that, I agree. I just don’t understand why you guys feel like it’s necessary to attack people who don’t feel like they have to get vaccinated immediately. 

Yep, I just assume it's the keyboard warrios with nothing better to do and needing some purpose in life.

Of course it’ll be politicized, everything is. But yes, there needs to be societal pressure. I don’t have a lot of issue with businesses, particularly in the travel and hospitality industry, imposing restrictions on people who choose not to get the vaccine. I do have some qualms about the idea of vaccinated/non-vaccinated sections of restaurants like we did with smokers back in the day, simply because it would probably allow the virus to spread faster among non-vaccinated people if we herd them all into one section like that. (See, I’m not a monster.)

Not picking on you, but wtf is this really a thought by someone?   Are we going to go full segregation and get our own water fountains and bus seating too?
