Do all you people that took the "jab" feel lied to yet?

So, yes — my mom and my sisters were among the first to get vaccinated. I had to wait a bit longer. By the time I qualified for a vaccine, it had come out that the AstraZenica vaccine caused a heightened probability of heart problems — but, with limited supplies of the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines, it was still being used.

Oh, absolutely! First some background - One of my sisters is a paramedic. Another is a ordained minister. My niece is an RNA, and my mother is a 90 year old transplant recipient (immunosupressed). Me? I’m a numbers person - Used to do computer support at a medical microbiology lab. I generated my own stats and graphs using raw data from the BC provincial health ministry.

When I was offered a choice between same-day AstraZenica and waiting 2 weeks for a Moderna vaccine, I did what I do — I ran the numbers. Dealing with a pandemic/epidemic is all about the numbers. Generally speaking, the probability of death or serious illness is relatively small for a person, but, when you’re dealing with a population of millions, those numbers add up — so you can’t really trust the stories you hear to judge risk… the most extreme cases are always going stand out in the meme verse. I mean, what are you going to be more interested in hearing about: your friend who was in bed for a few days with COVID, or your cousin’s acquaintance’s friend’s sister who got the vaccine and died a few days later from… something ?

Why is pure dopamine not a recreational drug? And if it was wouldn’t it be the most addictive and fairly side effect free?

Me? I just stayed at home at night, did my stats and tried my best to fight the waves of misinformation circulating the internet.

In other words, my chances of having any myocardial symptoms from AstraZenica were a bit less than 1/2 my daily risk of catching a fatal case of COVID. That was easy! My numerical analysis stopped at back-of-the-envelope, and I registered for an AstraZenica jab that afternoon.

At one point, I wrote our provincial health officer an angry letter when a comment she made revealed to me that she had been using the wrong kind of graph to track infections (linear instead of semi-log). Yes, they fixed the problem soon after.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

My minister sister became an expert on AV systems and Zoom™ as she transitioned to remote worship. She also had weekly updates on the people in her ministry who were dying from COVID. My mom updated me on friends of hers who had died of COVID. My paramedic sister bitched on how annoying her PPE was as she (among other things) picked up people who were dying from COVID — or had died at home.

I was, of course, most worried about my mom — as an ancient transplant recipient, she was near the top of the “pre-existing condition” pyramid. My guestimate at the start of the pandemic was that, if she got COVID, she had about a 30% chance of dying. My paramedic sister went through a ton (almost literally)✝ of PPE, and wore some of her professional PPE when she went to visit my mom.

In comparison, I have my friend John. He succumbed to the lies and refused to get vaccinated. He runs a web-hosting company, so he could get away with just staying at home and avoiding people. As the COVID pandemic waned, my family could (finally) restart our habit of pre-Christmas dinner. I invited John, not knowing that he was unvaccinated — Pretty much everybody I knew was vaccinated. I was still worried about my mom, so I probably wouldn’t have invited him had I been aware. John was among the 40 or so people that showed up, and he blames our party for the fact that he got sick.

✝ I checked with my sister. During COVID, an average paramedic in Edmonton would have literally gone through a ton or more worth of PPE. — and she did quite a bit of overtime!

Damn those lies!!!!

This year, I invited him again. He declined noting that he couldn’t afford another bout of COVID like he had the last time… (WTF? After that experience, he’s still not vaccinated?!!!!!) Apparently, not almost dying from COVID is less important to him than being right about the vaccine.

What are some common examples of condescending behavior?

He got really sick. He didn’t go to the hospital, but he probably should have. He was down and out for weeks. From his description of things, he would have probably ended up on at least oxygen, if not a ventilator, if he had been one stage worse.

The probability of a symptomatic myocardial event from AstraZenica was about 1 in 60,000. This makes sense of why it got by the stage 3 trials because there was only a 50% chance that someone in the trials (30,000 people) would have an event. The probability of a fatal event were roughly one in a million.

To put this in a more clear context, if everybody in British Columbia, Canada (where I live, population 5.6Million) were to be forced to take the AstraZenica vaccine in one, wild, week, a bit less than 100 would have symptoms and about 6 would die. In comparison, about 160 people per day were dying from COVID (and BC was doing much better with COVID than most of North America).

In other words, I got stories from the front line — along with the lies from other sources.
