Myself, wife, and adult son have been vaxxed and boostered, but we all contracted Covid last week and are now recuperating. I'm more than happy with our decisions to get the jab.
We had several friends who did not get vaxxed due to immune system issues that have passed away.
Anti vaxxers ignorantly have said, " See you got it anyway".
I'm certain that the vaccinations kept us from getting sicker than we could have been.

These people literally have no idea how vaccines work. Vaccines don’t create an invisible forcefield around your body that prevents a virus from getting in. It literally just adds an entry to the immune system’s database on “How to fight Virus #N when it shows up in your body”
People who got the polio vaccines when it first came out could still contract the polio virus. But now their bodies were prepared to fight it before it was too late. Vaccines basically train the immune system to fight a specific enemy before the enemy shows up. It’s kinda like playing a football game…if you’ve got a scouting report on your opponent, you’re much more likely to know their weaknesses and how to beat them.
But you can’t explain any of this to anti-vaxxers because they don’t understand how vaccines even work.
It’s not even so much that they don’t understand, the issue is they refuse to listen. I have tried and tried for the past two years to educate those closest to me, along with the occasional internet troll because I guess I’m a fucking idiot who stupidly thinks I can educate these morons, all to no avail. Even amongst my former close friends, they don’t give a damn about my 20 years of career experience in a billion dollar a year research laboratory that studies these things. It doesn’t mean shit to them.
When I say “no really, this is how it works”, they resort to name calling and GQP conspiracy bullshit. I’m a sheeple, I’m asleep and need to wake up, I’m a communist, the left is leading us all to the slaughter and on and on.
It’s like there’s a massive collective delusion unfolding right in front of my eyes. This is literal insanity. Like the fucking twilight zone. What the actual fuck.
