Tensions are flaring up as the fight against the Covid-19 pandemic continues. And it seems like pretty much everyone is at each other’s throats.
We’ve got people who are willing to get vaccinated against Covid-19 debating the hesitant who believe that they’re being forced to get the jab and that this infringes on their liberties and privacy. Among the latter are some fringe conspiracy theorists and anti-vaxxers who believe that the shots supposedly contain graphene oxide, microchips, cause infertility, or are a way for the Illuminati to increase their control over all of us.
However, the internet’s full of people who see it as their duty to fight fake news and to call out those wearing tinfoil hats. They do this by verbally destroying anti-vaxxers in the comments on social media, and Bored Panda's collected the proof to share with all of you. Check out the most powerful roasts below and let us know which ones you thought were worth calling the fire department over by giving the pics an upvote and writing up a comment.
Dr. Andrew Carroll, from Arizona, went into detail with Bored Panda about why some people are afraid of the vaccines, why the benefits outweigh the risks, and what we can expect to see in the near future, as we're slowly moving out of summer and into autumn. He told me that the vaccines are doing their job very well and helping protect people from hospitalization, even as new variants of the virus emerge. However, defeating the pandemic will require everyone to be on the same page. "If we're ever going to get out of this pandemic (and further variants) we are all going to have to pull together as one unified world, break down vaccine disparities, and use universal precautions."
According to Dr. Carroll, it's the fear of the unknown that drives vaccine skepticism. "We did introduce a brand new vaccine type, the mRNA vaccine. The great thing about it is that we were able to create a vaccine in such a short period of time. It used to take years to develop. This technology was created for the primary purpose of being able to respond extremely rapidly to a fast-moving, debilitating, and deadly virus such as this. But it's because it's new, people are afraid," he said. Read on for Bored Panda's full interview with Dr. Carroll.

I think the main problem here is to assume that scientific articles would have an agenda. There are no "pro-vax" scientific articles, as any article written with the conclusion set before doing the research would disqualify itself for publicaton in a creditable outlet already. (Of course there are research commentaries, editorials and such that can well contain opinion, but there still is a clear line between scientific articles and pretty much any other written work.)

Be proud that you raised a child who can make informed decisions, and not jump off the metaphorical bridge because his friends did.
Dr. Carroll explained that those hesitant to get jabbed have heard stories about reactions to the 2nd shot or about "the occasional rare severe reaction." That explains why some people are suspicious and more careful.
"Reactions do occur, but the severe reactions are exceedingly rare, and with such a deadly and serious virus, the benefit of the vaccine far outweigh the risk of it. We are already seeing that the vaccinated in the US who are exposed and contract the Delta variant are far less likely to require hospitalization. That is exactly what vaccines are meant to do. It's doing its job, and it's doing it well," the doctor told Bored Panda that there are more upsides than downsides to getting vaccinated.

Well considering the number one cause of death was Influenza a hundred years ago and centuries before and now the number one killer is heart disease and flu is about the 9th.

According to Dr. Carroll, some groups use (and actively spread) the misinformation and conspiracy theories to consolidate their power and for financial gain. "I believe there's a great deal of misinformation out there, perpetuated by echo chambers, or interest groups, on social media. If you associate with the people who confirm your beliefs, then you're more likely to not be willing to take in new information that might change your mind," he said.
"There are groups, primarily political groups, which take advantage of this and continue to echo their message. This is in order to maintain power. It is not in the interest of improving their health or getting rid of the pandemic. It is in the hopes of maintaining their vote. The anti-vaxxers have found their strength amongst the skeptical, and rather than accept that science has a better way, they continue to push their antiscience/antivaccine message in hopes that you will continue to listen to them, attend their conferences, by their books, watch their shows, and purchase their alternative medicine."

My favorite thing is when you wear a mask, and someone looks at you and says "don't be sheep and do what you are told, do your research"... to which I say. OK, I've spent 6 years in Medical School, 5 years in graduate school (Ph.D. in virology), did bench research for >25 years after that on replication and spread of the viruses and I conclude that I should wear a mask during the pandemic. Being a scientist, I am always ready to hear different opinion, so let's get together and take a look at your research that shows otherwise, and we can compare notes. I am more than willing to change my mind given the convincing evidence...
The doctor also commented on the current situation regarding the pandemic in his local area. "Of course, school is in session (the school district around me has been in session for 2 weeks now), and we're seeing a rapid spread of the virus amongst school children. Arizona has the second-highest rate of deaths among children 17 and under, and yet we are the 14th most populous state. Only Texas has had more deaths," he shared the bad news.
"This is very concerning and reflects the disparities in healthcare, as well as the problems with not requiring schoolchildren to mask up while in school. We also would like to see more uptake of the vaccine in the 12 years and older group."

It is true that vacines comes with a risk, but so does everything. There is a risk that you will be hit by a meteorite when going outside. Driving to work comes with a risk of being rammed by a stoned driver behind you, and even drinking liquids to stay hydrated comes with a risk of drowning. You cannot live a risk free life, and therefore what you need to do in order to live, is to make some proper risk management. Everytime you must choose between two options both of them comes with their own risk: Do some exercise and you risk spraining an ankle, don't do any exercise and you increase your risk of dying from a cardiac arrest. What is important is to get the proportions right, and regarding vaccines, the risk from getting the shot is far outweighted by the risk of getting the desease. Hence being vacinated is the smart thing to do.

But saying that there are no side effects and no risk is blatantly false. When you have to tell lies to defend your position, maybe you need to rethink your position.

Anti-Vaxxer Logic
Something 4 years ago
For some reason, some people don't understand the difference between something being effective and it being 100% effective. They seem to think that if there is even one case where something slipped through, it's the same as though the measure were 0% effective.
Sina 4 years ago
Not only that, they seem to misunderstand what the effectiveness of the vaccine is, and I blame the media for that. They assume vaccination = immunity. This is not so, as we managed to deduce from the fact that people that recovered from covid, caught it again. However, reducing by 80-92% serious illness and/or hospitalization is a win. Can you catch it? Sure, a bit harder than before, but you still can get infected. Is it more possible to survive it without ending up plugged into machines? The protection the vaccine provides is exactly that. Eventually, covid -since it got so out of hand everywhere - is going to turn into a seasonal flu-like illness. It will mutate to the point that it won't be as deadly, and we'll develop antivirals specifically for it, in addition to booster shots yearly depending on the most prevalent strain. If that means that less people will end up needing a hospital due to covid, and hospitals can get back to functioning properly, it's a win.

Get the vaccine, still get covid, but *less severely*. Don't die. Don't spend weeks in ICU on vent, don't (if in USA) get a hospital bill for $1.5m, even with insurance. Don't spend the rest of your life with very expensive lung and heart damage. I would think that the obscene financial cost of healthcare in the US would be enough to convince people to get vaccinated.
Andy Acceber 4 years ago
The vaccine doesn't prevent you from getting COVID. It prevents you from dying from COVID. That's an important distinction. We should all still be masking up, washing hands, and social distancing, vaxxed or not, as we can all still catch and spread this disease.
Whitney Gal 4 years ago
Chaos&Roses The fact that something is not 100% effective does not mean that it is *ineffective*. Yes, fully vaccinated people have died from breakthrough covid infections. That’s how non-miracles work. You’re expecting miraculous results from human endeavors, thus ensuring that nothing will ever meet your expectations.

My cousin is a front liner nurse. She deals with all COVID patients, even the Delta variant. She has noticed that even thought there are vaccinated patients there, they're symptoms aren't as bad as the un-vaccinated. Those un-vaccinated always end up in the ER. If they don't die.
Kathryn Baylis 4 years ago (edited)
They may have gotten COVID, but it was a mild case that they got over very easily. Sorry to burst the anti-vaxxers’ bubble, but mRNA vaccinations do not inject you with any form of the virus. So it wasn’t the vaccine but infected and most likely unvaccinated people that passed the disease on to them—-probably before the vaccine had taken full effect. Most of all, let’s not forget that vaccinated people are NOT the ones filling up hospitals, using all the ventilators, and dying.

Oh they will be. Just wait until you have to deal with the Chicken Pox which they're likely to have together, Mumps on both sides ( and if your husband gets mumps you're not going to have any more kids to not vaccinate). And the joys of both kinds of measles, which if your kid has it and you don't know it yet because they're not sick and come in contact with a pregnant woman at a certain gestation, that child can be born with birth defects. You can pay the lifetime bills for them. Polio. Watch your kid become paralyzed maybe to the point of not being able to breath on their own. Speaking as one who when I was a child some of these vaccines didn't exist, mumps are very painful. You can barely swallow liquids. Chicken Pox are intolerably itchy, and the measles gave me a fever so high I had hallucinations that I still remember. And just remember when your kids are suffering, and I do mean suffering, which by the way children and even adults can die from the measles, it wil be on you.

I've not been vaccinated, but for a good reason. I've been in hospital with two, non-covid related serious illnesses in the last six months and I haven't got the strength to cope with any possible, adverse reaction to the vaccine. N.B., I always wear a mask when in the company of anyone.

I'm sorry you've gone through so much, so close together! You are one of the people we need to be vaccinating ourselves for. Those who legitimately cannot have the vaccine rely on those who can to stop the rampant spreading and mutating. I hope others wear a mask when they are in your company too (when needed etc), and I hope you recover from your medical events, physically and mentally

Maybe it's time to switch tactics. Convince antivaxxers that only weak cowards are concerned about the toxins in the vaccines. Strong people know their bodies can handle it.

Big deal, so you shut them down. You didn't change their minds. Antivaxxers won't listen to facts and reason. They will continue to twist reality to suit their ego. They might change their mind when they are really sick but it will be too late for them to get the vaccine.

Can we also include everyone that watches Fox News and those that voted for Trump (either time)?

Why is everyone so worried about antivaxxers? New form of Natural Selection

Because they are not only risking their own lives, but the lives of those around them. Such as those who can't get vaccinated. They're also putting a huge strain on the healthcare system. Many doctors and nurses have developed PTSD since the pandemic started. A lot have quit their jobs and the ones who've held out are losing their faith in humanity.

Hi Mazer. I'm unable to reply to any of your comments, because they've all been down voted. "Seems to me like you need to over justify your decision, which may or may not be true". Interesting, 'may not be true'? Let’s save time here, because I'm not interested in a long and tedious exchange of comments. I've gone through six months of agonizing pain, but you also insist that I’d be vaccinated regardless of whether or not it will possibly kill me? Your words ‘how much jeopardy you put everyone else around you in’. Mazer, I've not even elaborated on the prior 1½ years where I've had symptoms of diverticulitis that has recurred, but fortunately did not become peritonitis again (Emergency surgery 10 years ago for a perforated diverticulitis. Oh, you die from that by the way!) which resulted in me having a reversible stoma; do you want to see the pictures? Thankfully it was reversible, because s hitting and f arting into a bag isn’t pretty. Goodbye Mazer. Goodbye.

They’re raging at people who can and should get the vaccine and choose not to. You are not in that category

I appreciate that the anti vaxxers help show how effective the vaccines are. Thanks for volunteering your and your family's and friends' lives for science. You are the control group. Thanks!

In my humble opinion, the real problem isn't the arm-chair anti-vax googlers, it's the very small number of actual doctors and other medical professionals that are posting all the stuff they find and fueling all the conspiracies. Those guys are the real root of the problem and should honestly have their licenses revoked.

Guess what? The doctors risking their careers to tell you that something might harm you, are the real heroes. If you cannot see that much, you've been severely brainwashed. Do you understand that Pharma is paying doctors, influencers, and TV personalities to tell you THEIR version? NO ONE is paying those who speak out against the vaxx. Read this article from MIT scientists. It might open your eyes. https://www.scribd.com/document/558229757/The-Covid-Vaccine-linked-to-Cancer

Some older friends (70s and 80s) have refused the vaccine. I've stopped trying but I worry for them. One lady lives with her son and DIL. Son brings home COVID. DIL gets it two days later. Friend asks me about getting the vaccine. I told her to go to any pharamacy and even called for her. I also told her it was most likely too late. Sure enough, the next morning when she was going to get the shot she tested positive. She is EXTREMELY ill. We are supposed to go see Wicked tomorrow night. Obvi she'll miss it. While I hate she is so sick, and I worry about how long she'll be down, it's ultimately on her. I know yiu can get it after vaccination but it's nearly as bad. They take shots for everything else. I don't understand why everyone is so against this one.
