In the ISH population there are posters who have probably had 3, 4 or more booster shots. They are absolutely into it. A dopamine boost. It has become part of their culture. ISH is a low sample size, but I feel this will be very profitable for pfizer.

Yes, some left trolls or bots on here definitely. No one is that blind.

However, when do the majority begin to wake up? Eg I know the NBA players are not known for their intellects but these are multimillionaires, many whom are also probably intelligent or around intelligent people, each shot puts their career at risk versus less to no risk to them personally of Covid (due to age and fitness).

So, at most they are taking the shots to protect others - when the Vs have (at most) a limited effect on reducing transmission.

So, at what point will the players' union stop mandated shots - and could they, when the location they play in will overrule the league?

Could we see a Las Vegas bubble playoffs so players like Kyrie can play?

Lots of people I know who got their first 2 shots seem to be starting to wake up, but they are all afraid to speak out publicly because they dont want to deal with the antivax stigma and all the hate/bullshit/alienation that rains down on anyone who says anything that contradicts the mainstream covid narrative (especially in liberal Portland).

Anyone who pays taxes is paying for this bullshit

Pfizer aint giving this shit out for free, according to their investor reports they are expecting to make $33.5 billion on covid vaccine sales this year. For context, their total revenue for all products combined was $41.9b last year... so this covid vax will almost double their yearly revenue.

Well that's what sucks about pfizer and its boosters too. I guess this is really one of the main reasons why other people don't want to get vaxxed. Nevertheless, there are vaccines that are being offered overseas without having to pay for fees while not needing immediate booster shots.

IMO the simple fact that you can (supposedly) get this vaccine for "free" is making people more distrustful and hesitant... in a country with healthcare costs that are beyond absurd, a country where a bottle of insulin or epi-pen costs almost $1k, why is this the one and only medicine that can be had for "free"?

Its not like other vaccines are free. The MMR vaccine typically costs anywhere from $80-150, the Tdap shot costs about $50, and they even make you pay anywhere from $20-70 for the yearly flu shot.

Lol you sound like a paranoid snowflake. My mom is a veteran doctor who specializes in lung treatment and she, along with her colleagues, have data showing that certain vaccines that were injected into lots of health workers work generally fine with minimal symptoms and only a few deaths. Ofc they're the first ones who took them for this year before the rest of the community followed. And just because pfizer is dominant in uncle sam's while requiring charges doesn't mean it's the same case in other parts of the world. You can go ahead and take a look at the other vaccines that you can be familiar with and where specifically they're being distributed at; moderna, astrazeneca, johnson & johnson, sputnik, sinovac and what more. You name it. Even with pfizer as well, international governments are offering their two doses for free. Again, not in uncle sam's but in other countries. And lastly if needed, they will require booster shots and may start charging for them but only time will tell.

Well, we can always agree to disagree but for some reason, like i said you're being paranoid. So instead of disagreeing politely, you chose to whine crudely. Anyway to answer your question, well, first of all there is a pandemic rn. A FREAKING pandemic that came since q4 2019. So they're trying to offer these vaccines for free because other governments are hellbent in encouraging people to take them as much as possible, for the sake of minimizing the spread, hospitalizations, deaths and attain some sort of herd immunity if not eliminate them. At least you get the idea. They're trying to show that you don't have to be someone from at least the middle class if you want to take doses. Say for example, you're broke like you-know-who smoking crack rock. Then you can do so for free and once you do, you'll have more priveleges like availing some discounts in buying stuff/services and may not undergo a swab test along with other incentives if you show them your vaccine card. Now if you still abstain from taking them because of your doubts, then nobody will stop you. But ofc, you'll whine that your freedom is being taken away because of these so-called mandates that would seemingly ruin your life or the lives of your peers. :rolleyes:

I disagreed politely in my first several posts. Look back through the progression of this thread, I didnt include a hint of snark in my comments until after you called me a "paranoid snowflake" unprovoked and tried to spin some laughably transparent lie about your mommy being a doctor. Dont start flinging shit unless you're ready to eat some.

Anyway, you still missed the point of my post. I am not just commenting on the fact that the shot is "free", the skepticism comes from the fact that every other medical treatment is obscenely expensive in this country (including other vaccines).

If we're supposed to believe that the govt is paying for this particular shot because they care about the well-being of the american people, why dont they pay for any of the other countless life-saving treatments that have prices beyond the reach of so many american citizens? Tens of thousands of americans die every year because they cannot afford insulin, a drug that costs ~$10ish per vial in european nations and ~$500 at minimum in the USA, why doesnt the govt care about saving those lives?. Why doesnt the govt pay for the MMR vaccine or TDAP?

Didn't you read? I indicated earlier that's the case in some other parts of the world, not specifically in uncle sam's lmao. We know how greedy they are. You should be aware of it. And no, i'm not lying about her profession and the efficacy of these vaccines, at least the ones that me and my family got. As well as many peers of mine. I got covid for more than a week before. I lost my sense of taste and smell while feeling dizzy at the same time back then but i took some herbs until i fully recovered in less than fourteen days, without being hospitalized too. That also means i developed some anti-bodies in my system while it was still in effect. And when i got vaxxed completely, i haven't tested positive in any swab tests so far. The doctors said you can still feel some symptoms that may be mild. Like coughing, feeling sick and sore throats but it's not deadly. However there are also times that you'll have positive results for swab even if you're asymptomatic, in which you'll be quarantined for only less than five days if you have the mark of the beast. That is the nature of this shit, after all. What makes it worse is that it is highly contagious. That's why they're doing a lot of measures to counter it.

Well my mommy is a doctor too, and according to her and her colleagues data the shot is not safe and its not effective... and of course i'm not lying about her profession (but I cant prove it either)

Anyway, I'm gonna follow your lead and ignore the original topic of this conversation (whether its strange that this vax is the only free medical treatment in existence and how that fact might create distrust)...instead I'm gonna do like you and talk about when I got covid as an unvaxxed individual. I had a mild cough and I drank a lot of tea, ate a lot of soup, and took lots of vitamins... and it took 3 whole days before I was feeling normal again!

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/newsletters/2021-11-14/how-long-will-boosters-last

"Some states, such as California and Colorado, have opened up booster shots to all adults who are at least six months past their second mRNA dose. It may turn out that the term “booster” is a bit of a misnomer, and that the correct number of shots for maximum efficacy isn’t yet known. Vaccination recommendations often change as more data becomes available over time.

“It’s a good idea to keep an eye on CDC guidance,” says Justman.

Now on to the question of how long boosters will last. That’s a tough one.

It’s possible, says Justman, that the months-long gap between initial doses of the vaccine and boosters will help the immune system maintain a strong response for a much longer period than the initial regimen did. But we need more data to have any sort of definitive answer on that, she says.

The NBA can do whatever it wants, it's a private organization.

Locally in my area, to work for Cleveland Clinic for example (a massive healthcare system) in any capacity you MUST get a mandatory flu shot and now of course, Covid as well as you must be TB tested. So just like the NBA, you can't work there without a vaccine. It's just a private organization making this decision and they are allowed to do so.

To travel to and from certain international locations you MUST get vaccines.

To attend, or to allow your children to attend public school systems in the US you MUST get vaccinated (as a kid) or as a parent have your kids vaccinated for various other human diseases. It's mandatory. They haven't done this for Covid yet but if they do... who really cares!? Adding one more to the mix really is that big of a deal?

Mandatory vaccinations are not out to get you and they are not new. Adding one new one to the mix, especially decided privately let alone by a government, is not a big deal. Stop crying lol
