 what's wrong with COVID boosters? everyone I know is getting them because people they know have died of COVID or have gotten longCOVID and they want to avoid that; me too (I know of no one who had negative experiences with vaccines) 
 Well, now you've met one - me. I nearly died from being unable to breathe after the 2nd shot. There is a lot of information about these boosters killing people, and its honestly baffling that there are people that haven't seen it. There was even a doctor testifying about it in Congress. A good place to start might be the question, "what happened to the flu in 2020?" Because we have flu data going back decades, and suddenly there's no flu - so that should show you that information is being controlled, in some way. Don't stop there - there's doctors' testimony and statistics on vaccinated vs unvaccinated deaths.

Please research it - I'm not saying that in an egotistical "I'm so right, just look it up" way... Research because it might save your life. If it helps, research it because this random person on the internet (me) actually really cares about you, which is true, and I know it's baffling in this uncaring age of nihilism.  
 There's a well-known, albeit small, chance that you might experience anaphylactic shock, which is indeed a serious concern (hence the 15-minute wait after the jab). You can also suffer anaphylaxis if you're allergic to peanuts and inadvertently consume them. I'm not aware if this condition is hereditary. Apparently, your mother doesn't have this issue. Before receiving a jab, there are questionnaires to complete; perhaps your father could mention it there or consult a physician beforehand.

All the talk about boosters being fatal is the realm of silly conspiracy theories. Like all medications, vaccines have side effects, but the consequences of getting infected are – except, of course, in cases of allergies – potentially far more severe. People do die, and some develop chronic health problems (long Covid) after infection. I recommend trusting modern medical science and consulting a well-educated physician or virologist. Unlike the unqualified practitioners of the past – 'witch doctors' – these professionals genuinely know what they're talking about.

 BTW: 'no flu' in 2020? That's likely the result of preventive measurements that prevented infections. 
 *preventive measures 
 Ah. You're a bot. Silly me for being fooled. 
 words like "experts" and "professionals" kinda gives away the fact that if they aren't an actual AI, they are equally empty headed 
 What'll really be funny is when the bots are noticeably more intelligent than the NPCs 
 we'll also know at that point that they have been feeding them data from smart people blatherings also 
 we have a very high I.Q. so that's doubtful; you people really aren't used to out-of-your-bubble comments, are you? 
 Ironic. Doubly ironic, considering what you just said about assumptions.

Self reflection is a good habit. 
 no it isn't 
 You don't think self reflection is a good habit? Oh yeah, English. Look up "self reflection." Its a phrase, so maybe a direct translation doesn't give the full meaning. 
 While you're at it, look up 'urban dictionary "spook" ' - it should say something like "spy." 
 also "imaginary intellectual construct" 
 we know, that's why we chose the name 
 always believe what your favourite influencer tells you

they know you better than you do

they are your psychopomp, your shaman, your Leader, Dein Fuhrer 
 always think you know better or as well as experts who have spent years in specialized education and building experience – thinking you can 'research it yourself' #silly #arrogant #misguided 
 i see, and you are one of these experts right? 
 If you are not one of those experts, then it would be wise not to doubt the medical consensus among them.

 I hear all children of RFK Jr. have been vaccinated, so he can't be all-in antivaxx. 
 Also he did very good work for the environment. I like him, but fear he might suffer from dementia, given his more recent fake news, disinformation, conspiracy theories outings. 
 "we" "you people"

those are both specious

one, only one person can speak at a time

two, i have never met this comte guy but i have had many agreements with him and appreciated his spicing up my own understandings, as i believe he has of mine

i'm a hermit, there is no we 
 we disagree 
 you don't think that experts in field know much more than non-experts; mutatis mutandis professionals – conspiracy theories tend to be pseudoscientific, misinformed, misguided, laughable most of the times 
 I've caught that account using purely AI generated responses before on these topics. Pure NPC or paid disinformer.
 
 Good to know. I should've noticed the name... says it all 
 conclusions based on bad assumptions are invalid – assumption is the mother of all fuckups 
 Pattern recognition is more reliable than a strict rule of making no assumptions. You're right, in certain contexts. But how you recognize those contexts is pattern recognition. If it all comes back to pattern recognition anyways, then just use the pattern recognition. 
 no, it's education and experience, of (medical) experts in the case of matters related to vaccines 
 wrong: I tend to use AI, but solely for spelling and grammar corrections (I am not a native speaker) 
 Your parrot mainstream nonsense, gaslighting people with things you heard in the media like "safe and effective" and "no evidence".

I just don't know what it takes for some people to wake up. I hope you do before its too late.

STAY AWAY FROM VACCINES. 
 VACCINES PROTECT YOUR HEALTH! don't be misguided by conspiracy theorists: consult a your physician 
 🤦‍♂️  
 That's what I thought a few years ago. I used to be you. I learned the hard way. If you're smart, you will abandon this dangerous nonsense and benefit from people who have learned the hard way. We're not conspiracy theorists. We're survivors - meaning, we survived something that hopefully you won't have to go through. 
 Based on previous interactions, their mind is made up and won't change. 
 I get that impression too. But there's a chance... His mind will change, its only a matter of how much suffering has to happen first. 
 our mind will go where the science takes us – science is the exponent of objectivity 
 This is mindless blather. We really have been talking to a bot. Joke's on us... 
 you apparently do not (want to?) understand the concept of the scientific method 
 correlation is not necessarily causation (look it up) – again: consult a good physician, get a second or even third opinion from educated abd experienced medical experts, but don't try to 'investigate yourself', because specialized knowledge and experience are required to correctly interpret the information. 
 I have specialized knowledge. Calculus 2, statistics, then econometrics, and then i taught. I can read the data. And having this specialization, I can tell you : you don't need it. Anyone can figure it out of they just try. But since you think credentials matter, I have plenty.

You've made some silly assumptions. 
 None of those qualify you as a medical doctor or -expert. Don't be so arrogant to assume you don't need the relevant education and experience.

I have nowhere assumed that you weren't (well) educated. 
 There is no 'mainstream' nonsense! The fact that most people realize that qualified medical experts can be trusted when it comes to medical matters is indead widespread common sense (if you want to call that 'mainstream', sure) 
 Ah, that explains it. In that case, I can understand. I've travelled a bit. Something I noticed was, people in other countries are only exposed to leftist media. They don't even know its leftist - its just normal to them. What I mean by leftist is, the big corporations fund propaganda and pretend to moralistic stances on social issues, while what they're really doing is stealing money from governments and selling poison to people. And leftists never notice because they are much more susceptible to advertising than people on the right or non-aligned. Culture seems to spread out from the US, but corporate leftist culture spreads first. So you probably don't even have all the information regarding covid in your language. Sorry if this hurts - its just something you'll need to try to balance out. 
 how did you arrive at that conclusion? 
 Also wtf, are you actually a spook? I just noticed your name. 
 We are legion.
