re: Purebloods, looking back what was the primary reason you avoided the jab.

Many reasons.
1. COVID was only truly dangerous to the very old and immunocompromised. I'm neither, so there was never a need to get vaccinated in the hopes that it might only slightly reduce the severity of the disease (and do nothing in terms of reducing my chances of contracting or transmitting it).
2. The FDA has a piss-poor track record of approving drugs that later end up being recalled.
3. The vaccine manufacturers have immunity against lawsuits. So if it ends up injuring you, you're SOL. Where's the incentive, then, for the manufacturers to ensure they are safe?
4. They were rushed through the clinical trial process. Phase III alone typically takes several years before a drug is approved and allowed onto the market. It was obvious that these vaccines weren't properly tested and there was no way of knowing if they could cause long-term complications of side effects because the trials weren't nearly long enough.
5. It was a money grab and an authoritarian trial balloon. And it succeeded wildly. And they will use the data they gleaned from it to deploy a similarly sinister plot within the next decade or so.

It was from my research experiences regarding policy disputes on a variety of subjects over the years. One pattern I noticed was that if 'experts' from a foundation that got more money when there was a 'crisis' they tended to falsify statistics and exagerate predictions of future disaster. Among the least reliable were the CDC and health agencies funded by the U.N. So, when they said a shot was needed I knew it was fake.

Because the government strongly tried to compel me to do it. And I don't trust the government.
It's pretty much that simple.

caught COVID months prior to the jab rollout so it was unnecessary for me.
Same. But that means you're not a pureblood.

... anytime a free Juan's Flying Burrito is offered as an incentive to take the jab ...
well , let's just say ...
HARD PASS ...

Simple really...
I watched them let thousands of illegal immigrants come across the border. They didn't give them the shot, and spread them throughout the country. If covid was what they were saying, they would have locked the border down.
Same thing with climate change bullshite. If it was really going to affect the earth like they say, the elites wouldn't be buying house's on the coast and banks wouldn't be lending money for development on the coasts.

My late brother's wife was the head of the RNA lab at Emory.
Many of their friends (through her) worked at the CDC. Those friends all told me that no one except the old and imuno compromised at the CDC had taken the vaccine. They also didn't wear masks outside of the lab.
I didn't trust or follow any of the guidelines. It was also crawfish season and we had a boil every weekend at False River camp where our friends came over (we even dared to go over the 10 people limit for gatherings).

I've always pointed back to this...
As soon as I realized that in no other location people were falling in the streets or screaming from their locked apartments (remember those early videos coming out of China), I questioned everything.
The difference from the videos and what was happening everywhere globally pretty much put me on watch from March 2020, on.
Then when BLM was allowed to protest but churches were closed, that pretty much sealed it. I filtered all information through those two situations.
So when we started to see conflicting data in comorbidities, deaths in age groups, etc., I just started with the premise that someone wants me to think something particular from anything released publically. It would have taken A LOT to convince me that the vaccines were a purely scientific proven, and needed way.
Throw in what they actually are, and it just wasn't likely. I MIGHT have taken the non-MRNA that never saw the light of day, but that's about as close as I got.

My decision was hardened when they told us you wouldn’t gain immunity from getting COVID. That’s when I knew they were flat out lying about it.
Then, “doctors” on this board and other social media kept telling me that I should 100% get the “vax” even though I have a predisposition to clotting. That’s when I knew that medical professionals were ignoring all their education and practice experience to push the jab at all costs.

I’m kind of a “frick you, I won’t do what you tell me” kind of person so when they really started with the peer pressure I dug my heels in even more. Rapidly covid turned out to be a big nothing burger so it made it easier as time went on to abstain.
Posted on 9/10/25 at 11:02 am to GumboPot
I simply didn’t trust it.
Posted on 9/10/25 at 11:02 am to GumboPot
Because only a moron would blindly walk into experimental shots if you did even 10 mins of independent research.
Posted on 9/10/25 at 11:02 am to GumboPot
I instinctively knew better from day 1..I was not in a high risk group and the shite was 100% unproven. No way I was going down that road. I did my best to steer family members away, and to a person the ones that did it regret it now.

The fact that they were free from all liability told me all I needed to know.
Posted on 9/10/25 at 11:27 am to GumboPot
Simply did not trust the system.
They were trying too hard to get people to take it.
I recall when there was a shortage of masks, they told us not to wear masks in an effort to make more available for the medical field, then once that shortage passed, they were once again saying we needed to wear them.
They changed their message based on what they wanted us to do.

I quit letting the government tell me how to live my life the day I separated from the military.

I knew the covid pandemic was bullshite within the first month. As soon as I saw video of "people with covid" falling over in the streets, I said to myself, "Yep, it's all bullshite."
And every piece of data that came afterwards confirmed it. It was easy to tell it was all a lie based on the actions of the covid nazis.

Let me preface this by saying I haven’t trusted government or mainstream health advice for 2 decades. There were many things that made it obvious we shouldn’t trust the mainstream narrative on COVID.
The average age of death was 82 out of Italy. The videos of people dropping on the streets in China were nonsensical. Media and politicians were speaking about the disease and policies as if everyone were high risk. I wore a mask for about 45 mins when the mandate was enacted and it was obvious they were poor barriers in no time. You could calculate your health risks on oxford university’s website by summer of 2020. Mine was about 1/280,000 for severe disease/dying.
I knew I didn’t need a vaccine because of my risk factors. I was also highly concerned, and I think this is one of the most concerning and irrational things I saw during COVID, that the new platform of mRNA shot was promoted and approved long before the adenovirus vector vaccine. Medicine had been using the latter vaccine for 7-8 decades for the flu and other diseases.
Why would you not approve this type of vaccine you had so much experience, data, etc. with over a novel platform you had minimal experience with? This was highly concerning to me.

Zero long term studies done and that should have been enough reason for everybody.

If a doctor injects anything harmful into my bloodstream, I want to be able to sue his or her arse into oblivion. I'm not into allowing irresponsible people to stick needles in my body.
