The World Health Organization has announced time and again that COVID-19 vaccines have proven to be safe, effective and life-saving.

What’s even better is that the new analysis by PHE found for the first time that 2 doses of COVID-19 vaccines have proven to be “highly effective against hospitalization from the Delta (B.1.617.2) variant.” So as the contagious new variant is sweeping across the country, getting a COVID-19 shot is now basically a matter of not getting severe complications, and for some, it’s a matter of life and death.

But when it seems like all the evidence of the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccination is more than obvious, some people still find the excuse of not getting it. And honestly, some of their reasoning is beyond insane.

From believing that a COVID-19 shot will turn you into a living zombie to claiming that Jesus himself is enough of “a protector and a mask” to protect from the virus, it’s one hell of a read. Treat it as a sci-fi read at most or utter craziness, and scroll through some of the worst excuses people shared online down below.

Considering England developed and authorised the first vaccine, using it first is what you would call "making sense"

What Are A Vaccine For?

Milesio Report

Ever since the pandemic emerged, vaccine skeptics have pointed to the fact that the coronavirus vaccines were available only under emergency-use authorizations. So when the Food and Drug Administration this week fully authorized the Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, COVID-denialists and anti-vaxxers have taken desperate measures to prove their points.

Some employ arguments found on fake news websites, others go deep into conspiracy theories that revolve around mistrust in government and science. So in order to find out what’s at the root of the mind of vaccine sceptics and COVID denialists, we reached out to Robert Gifford, a Professor of Psychology and Environmental Studies at the University of Victoria.

ADVERTISEMENT

Robert is best known for his “The Dragons of Inaction: Diagnosing and Slaying the Barriers to Positive Climate and Environmental Action” study. According to this theory, these dragons are a compendium of psychological barriers that hinder a person’s desired actions. Robert argues that “they have mainly been gathered to help explain why a person agrees that climate change and environmental sustainability are important problems, yet does not take enough action to effectively deal with those problems.”

I really don't get how people can think of science and be like "Well why do the scientists get to decide what's truth and what's not?". You really have not been paying any attention in school. Like, at all, for consecutive years.

“However, the dragons may apply to other things, such as COVID denial,” he explained and continued: “In particular, without data, my opinion is that COVID denial is strongly related to Mistrust, one of the Discredence genus of dragons. Deniers do not like scientists and governments (unless they are populist governments that also are skeptical about both COVID and climate change).”

The professor continued: “Of course the Mistrust dragon is rooted in the Limited Cognition genus dragons called Ignorance and Confirmation Bias (that is, lack of factual knowledge and the tendency to pay attention to media that echoes one’s existing beliefs).”

When asked what to do when encountering a COVID denier, Robert suggested keeping an extra-large distance. “That’s about all that one can do. The other approaches are futile,” he said.

Literally nothing in life is risk-free, but which risk would you rather take: the slim risk of side effects from a highly tested & researched vaccine being used by a large portion of the world, or the risk of losing your child to an easily preventable disease?

There is some truth to this “SOME” being the operative word. Kids raised in super clean environments are more likely to suffer from things like allergies, this is due to the immune system not having to work, so it ends up attacking more things we commonly come into contact with, like asthma which can result in death. Google the term “Bored Immune System” to start your education

You will find holocaust survivors would be first in line with their sleeves rolled up because they don't want to spend any more time suffering before dying. Refusing the vaccine is not only a slap to their faces but a kick to their crotch and a knife in their back

How is it, they've previously deemed vaccine cards illegal and disproportionate, and some people medically can't get the covid vaccine so discriminating against those who haven't had this one vaccine that's *still in testing* and not against anyone who's not had other vaccines it's just wrong.

To quote myself: She's referring to the David's Star that Jews were forced to wear on their sleeves during the late 30s and early 40s in Germany to identify and ostracize them and later kill. She likens the vaccine-cards with those stars, saying that having to show the pass to go to the movies or whatnot is like having to wear the star on your sleeve. And liking those things IS a slap to the face of any Holocaust survivor. To my infinite sadness, this kind of unreasoning is getting spread around Europe and specifically Germany among the anti-vaxxers. 🙁
