Covid can leave you with myocarditis. The vaccine prevents contraction of covid.

The jab is better for your heart than covid.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 29 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (3 children)

You can still get covid if you’re vaccinated. Lots of us have. The vaccine’s primary goal is to significantly lower your chances of getting serious illness.

That said, the risk of myocarditis from COVID is higher than the risk of myocarditis from vaccination. And unless you think you’re never going to get covid, you should probably just get vaccinated if you want to make a rare thing (myocarditis) even more rare.

Edit: what’s the deal with the downvotes? This is all stuff the FDA and CDC agrees with.

I think people only read your first line and assumed you were an anti vaxxer. As someone who has all the jabs and still had covid twice, I can agree that it's much better to have covid with the vaccine than without. Shit suuuuucks

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 6 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

assumed you were an anti vaxxer

Far from it. I’m collecting the whole set. 😆

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 2 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

A full set?! Man you lucky bastard, but they're coming out with that new sweet one that everyone wants, gonna go for that one too?

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Today at 5:30 pm in a CVS.

[–] aStonedSanta@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Shit. Are they free again? I should go get one also it’s been over a year for me for sure.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Depends on the country and what your situation is. Speaking for the US, there are free shot programs.

my pokejabs! I'm gonna catch 'em all, so I don't drown in my fucking lung juices lol. and it gives me a hobby.

Yep, that's me! the vaccines made me feel like complete shit, and when I got actual covid it didn't seem as bad.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Ditto for multiple vaccine shots.

First vaccine: Immune system went hard to attack the new thing.

Subsequent vaccines: Immune system has seen the song and dance before. Just a sore arm.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

funny thing... my country had mix & match as their method. I had 2 sinovac, and the rest have been Pfizer.

That 3rd shot (1st pfizer) oh lord. I think that one really knocked me on my ass.

[–] Ghostalmedia@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, now that I think about it, it was the second shot of my first vaccination that knocked me out for a day.

My subsequent 2022 and 2023 boosters have been uneventful now that my body seems to know what’s up.

But we’ll see. I have my 2024 booster today.

[–] Skullgrid@lemmy.world 4 points 3 weeks ago* (last edited 3 weeks ago) (1 children)

good luck, much health!

also, you always make me want to put on Space Hoes by DANGERDOOM

EDIT : because "how they gave a show to tad ghostal.."

[–] MIDItheKID@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Any given second he could go mad postal

[–] aniki@lemmings.world 2 points 3 weeks ago

Me too but even when I was down and out I was still thankful I had the shots beforehand so it wasn't as bad as it could have been.

[–] aStonedSanta@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago

Yeah my best friend bwcuslly had the flu from his first vaccine. Reacted better for following one’s.

[–] I_Has_A_Hat@lemmy.world 2 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

Unfortunately, this only weakens your argument to anti-vaxxers.

[–] RecluseRamble@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 weeks ago

Why does that matter? You can't reason with illogical people. You have to reach them on an emotional level; if you care, that is.

[–] SARGE@startrek.website 22 points 3 weeks ago (1 children)

A conversation in the past year:

"Ha! Told you! Another vaccinated person died BECAUSE OF THE VACCINE"

"they literally died of an overdose. The medical report confirms it, people were at the house and saw him shoot up, everything is pointing to overdose"

"Yeah well the drugs just worked with the POISON in him to kill him faster, if he hadn't gotten the vaccine the drugs would have just gotten him high"

"you're a fucking idiot and I'm glad I'm only related by an adoption in the family."

I mean, didn't you hear? It's only another ~~1~~ ~~2~~ 5 years until we all liquify and turn to much because of all the DNA scrambling!

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Oh are we asking for timelines on predictions now?

When does civilization collapse due to climate change?

[–] aStonedSanta@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago

Hopefully later. Rather than sooner.

[–] rustyfemboy@lemmy.blahaj.zone 10 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

It's not just heart problems. Any sudden death from anyone somewhat young is blamed on the vaccine, without any evidence at all. Compare this to how anti-vaxxers said that the covid death toll was overstated because it supposedly includes people who died with the virus but not because of it.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

that the covid death toll was overstated because it supposedly includes people who died with the virus but not because of it

But that’s true

No, you're not a special little cookie that knows more than the entire global medical community.

(I left a little trap in the meme for the clowns that would claim otherwise. Let's see if we catch any.)

Arrhythmia is misspelled?

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

What about the doctors who are saying this stuff? Are they part of the entire medical community or what?

[–] Communist_Synthesizer@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (1 children)

You know how those commercials for toothpaste will say something like, "4 out of 5 doctors agree! Crest Whitening Formula is the best toothpaste on the market!"

... It's not 4 out of 5. It's more like... 999 out of 1000 when you actually query epidemiologists. These people do this for a living. And bluntly, without disrespect... they are so, so much smarter than you or I ever will be. And this is the area they chose to specialize in and spent their whole lives studying.

You don't just 'get' to go work at the CDC. That's the equivalent of the NBA of doctors. They're such a prestigious organization that most other countries name their pandemic management centers after our CDC. And if they tap you to come work for them? You just go. They're basically humanity's first line of defense to make sure our overpopulated behinds don't get jacked by the next Ebola or Smallpox that might be lurking around the corner.

If a global community of doctors with these qualifications say something related to 'their' field? Just shut up and listen, man. I swear, most of you have more respect for your plumber or electrician than you do for someone who is likely smarter than anyone you've ever met in real life.

[–] intensely_human@lemm.ee 0 points 2 weeks ago

Have you taken the time to listen to any of the doctors who are against this?

I read the title as someone from Boston saying, 'He got the job, didn't he?!?"

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

I see you're all conveniently forgetting about the millions who died in the wave of death following the vaxxings of 2021. Most of the population is in the ground.

Person who got vaccinated: dies from gunshot

Antivaxxer: See! People who get the jab are 1000% more likely to have a bullet kill them!
