People Are Sharing The Most Laughable Excuses Not To Get The Covid Vaccine That They Saw On The Internet (50 Pics)
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"
Anti Vaxxer Pretends To Be Educated
What Are A Vaccine For?
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.

Beautifully Pointing Out How Jack Doesn’t Know Why A Vaccine Is
Taking Vaccine = Having No Faith In God
For everyone who doesn't understand, in the first post, the person in the profile picture is wearing glasses. This doesn't really makes sense if you blur the profile pictures.
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.
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.”
Vaccines Now Cause Genetic Disorders
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.
Why Get A Vaccine If I Don't Have The Virus
Totally...
“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).”

Serious question; do kids in the US learn in school how vaccines work?
Anti-Vaxxer Logic
I had Covid spring 2020, got vaccinated spring 2021, had the bloody Delta aug 2021. I can assure you the second covid was nowhere near the horrible first one where I couldnt breathe properly for 3 months... Vaccines protects!
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.

I am from India and I have seen footages of cremation grounds being packed with dead bodies, with people working day and night without proper meals and water to give those poor souls the farewell they deserve, with the cremation grounds packed EVERY damn inch with ritual fires! Posts like this make me wonder, "Do people like this really exist? Do they actually live under rocks? How can they possibly think of these things when people are dying left and right on roads during this pandemic?"
I can show you. In the 1990s, due to incomplete MMR vaccination, I saw children blind or suffering from damage due to measles-related encephalitis. They're alive. But they weren't vaccinated. At what cost? This in the USA. I was gonna be a practicing MD, either family or infectious disease, until that ward broke me. I can describe what happens to unvaccinated children in detail. I saw them die. And couldn't stop it. B/c someone didn't vaccinate their kid. .....
How about the cases of whooping cough that sprouted up in Thorpe WA because one unvaccinated kid brought it to school? One of the teachers there contracted it and had to stay away from home until she was no longer contagious because she had a newborn that was too young to receive the vaccine. It's not about protecting yourself. It's about protecting others around you who can't get vaccinated.
Why must they use the children like this? Seems people enjoy using children as an excuse to get their points across. Low blow, people. Be a parent first, leave politics (etc) afterwards. 🤦♀️
As an undertaker with zero medical qualifications I can not say there will never be any side affect for some, however I can 100% guarantee that COVID has the capability to kill you, regardless of age or stupidity, please take my word, vaccines work and save lives.
Protip: Dead unvaccinated kids are much easier to find than vaccinated alive ones. They tend to not run around as much. Hope that helps you in your search, Green Scribble.
child mortality rate before modern medicin. look at prehistoric gravyards. filled with children. 2 out of 6 or 7 may reach adulthood. just imagine all the sad parents.
*goes to France and points at any parking lot* This is what happened before vaccines.
I actually know a family where all 3 kids are completely unvaccinated. They are young adults now, have traveled the world and never get sick. I find it very fascinating.
Got this on Gavi (2009 report): More than two million children continue to die each year from vaccine-preventable diseases. There nut job, you have your answer. Funny thing. It took me less time to google this than it did for you to write/respond in this thread.
Go to any graveyard which has plots over 100 years old. Loads of dead children.
Look up the deaths attributed to the virus in your states health web site for the last 12 months. Local papers from each town should have an archive. From there you can probably reach relatives of some of those who have succumbed to the virus. But be careful. They might be real sensitive about what happened.
well right now, there's a LOT of kids going into hospitals and dying with covid. I guess you don't believe the news unless it's from Fox, right?
Where are the dead unvaccinated kids are? Your ignorance is showing they are in the cemeteries. You do know you can prepay for funerals!
Why do people make it sound like vaccinated people don't die? So many do. If they don't take on social still spread it
These anti-vaxxers are literally murdering their children. It is almost as horrible as abortion.

It's Ok to ask questions so long as you haven't already decided the answer…

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?

This morning I woke to a voice-mail from the hospital saying the Covid ward was full again and we'd be going back to 2020's "use the OB wing b/c that has good isolation in place already" routine. I'm just a volunteer, who can do triage and advanced first aid, work in research and advocacy, and if they're dragging my sorry butt in to help? YES YOU NEED TO VACCINATE. Because I'll now spend my day having people scream at me to go fornicate with myself, for, oh, six-eight hours, unless they have me in the ER doing whatever i'm told from registering a patient to holding someone's shattered bone in place. Yeah. So... VACCINATE. I want to go back to just research and advocacy, please... Patient-centered medicine starts with education of patients. ...my motto

I hate the anti-vaxxers that use God as an excuse more than any other. It makes so many people think all Christians are terrible, but they can actually be good people that do get vaccines and work to keep others safe.
My niece, who lives, eats and breathes on social media, refuses to get a vaccine because of all the usual and aforementioned reasons. Her big issue is that "they" lie and "they" just want money, and if it was safe it would have been approved right away. Then she cites 5 or 9 horrific stories from her friends that they got vaccinated and grew horns, saw demons, etc. This is the same group and niece who were vaping their heads off years ago because it was " safer" than smoking cigs and even when she and 3 others ended up in the hospital with lung infections and worse from buying crap vape online made in China with motor oil or some such she defended it as saying it was rare and so what, stuff happens. So I just go O.o
The 'they just want more money' bit confuses the hell out of me. Here in the US at least, the vaccine is free. Hell, in some places 'they' are actually PAYING people to get it.

I'm absolutely terrified of needles, have been my whole life. I've had panic attacks and blacked out before. But this Sunday I am so excited to get my final injection. If there is anyone else out there who has this fear I get it. Needles are scary, but the Covid injections are going to give you peace of mind. The injections will keep you safe.
Kudos to you! It's definitely much scarier to be intubated and put on a ventilator than to receive two injections. I'm not afraid of needles, but have claustrophobia. It's good to celebrate instances where we overcome our fears. Treat yourself to something nice after your shot 😊

Dear God, we have a problem here with this proof positive that evangelicals don't even read their own scripture. Sigh. Just a quick review for folks who might need a refresher. In Matt 25, God separates humans into sheep and goats. The sheep are the ones who love and care for their neighbors, the hungry, and the homeless. The goats are the ones who have ignored God's teachings about kindness, generosity and taking care of one another. The sheep are going to heaven, the goats.....well, let's just say it's going to be hot, hot, hot. At least she admits it.
Vaccination against Covid-19 should be mandatory for all except those medically exempt.

I've lost 2 family members, aunt and uncle from different households, to Covid before the vaccines were developed. Most of my family are vaccinated, and those who are not are waiting for theirs. My fiancée as well as 5 other family members who are vaccinated got Covid, but they suffered much lesser symptoms, got over it and feel fine now. The only hope we can get out of this is all the anti-vaxxers die off and end the anti-vaxxer movement. Also, Anti-vaxxers are usually vaccinated by their own parents while young making them hypocrites
I know many people who are not generally anti vaxxers but refuse to take this shot...And wishing someone to die because of their own life choices sound pretty harsh

to any anti vaxer who may get lost in these comments. In hope to show you a different way of reasoning, let me elaborate with you this controversial topic: What is your fear of taking a vaccine?
6. they use MRNA in the vaccine, it scares you?... what's more scary a controlled weaker MRNA version that gets deleted after it enters your cells and did its job to deliver the message of how the virus will look like? or an uncontrollable virus that will absolutely attack vital functions of your cells? - the vaccine we use for this virus, is a special kind of vaccine. super modern and safe. it has "MRNA particles" in it - parts of DNA ( besides DNA is found in 90% of all living cells - also viruses) the special thing is that this MRNA is just half of our DNA it will be read from our cells and sorted as information as soon as it has been read it's not needed anymore and gets eliminated... the virus on the other-hand carries a full DNA and it will cut your won DNA and change it as it pleases you can imagine the MRNA of the vaccine as a IKEA Manual... while the Virus is a home-wrecker disguised as IKEA employee that is kindly there to build your stuff.

I just can't read this the whole way through. It infuriates me how stupid too many people are. Do you realize we are in the throes of a new caste system...the intelligent, the ignorant, and the stupid? Unfortunately the stupid will take some of the rest down with them.
I think this is a wake up call. For too long, we as a society valued aesthetics over substance and fluff over credibility. As a result, STEM subjects are seen as uncool, as nerdy no thanks to the portrayal in pop culture. Also, start to really eliminate the influence of religion in governance and education.
Is it bad to think that with all these potential Darwin Award winners, perhaps the pandemic is a bit helpful for the planet?

I witness more anti-mask bullshit than anti-vax, but I'd say both of them are equally irresponsible.
Einstein said: There are two things that you can't mesure. Universe and stupidity and for the first one I am not sure.
I was one of the first people in my state to get the vaccine. This is my experience: Step 1: I went to a public vax site, got jabbed within 5 minutes, and sat around for 15 minutes to look out for anaphylactic shock. 2: I went home. For dose numero dos, repeat steps 1 and 2 and then add step 3: I felt like crap the next day, as to be expected. I simply watched a documentary and binged some anime. The day after I was fine, it really wasn’t a big deal. Just get the vaccine.
Seriously wish anyone seeking hospitalization for covid who has not been vaccinated (and doesn't have a valid medical reason like true allergic reaction) would be refused entry. We need those beds for people who were in car wrecks, have heart attacks, need cancer treatment, etc. Why should those people have to go without care because some self-centered ignorant shite decided he knew better than the real experts?
One of my favorites is when they say "I don't want to be a lab rat" or "I don't want to be part of a science experiment" like buddy, you're the control group!!
An ongoing monthly survey of more than 1.9 million U.S. Facebook users led by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh recently looked at vaccine hesitancy by occupation. It revealed a spectrum of hesitancy among health care workers corresponding to income and education, ranging from a low of 9% among pharmacists to highs of 20%-23% among nursing aides and emergency medical technicians. About 12% of registered nurses and doctors admitted to being hesitant to get a shot.
I was a health care provider working through the entire first wave of covid for year and a half now taking a sabbatical leave because of severe physical and emotional burnt out. These people and majority of the population DO NOT understand nor have seen the reality of what this virus has done to our society and our people. People are all focusing on the byproduct/side effects of what this virus has done to us, ie. where is my stimulus check? ban vaccine and mask mandate, blah blah blah instead of focusing on how to cure THE ROOT of their riot which is THE VIRUS!!! Read these posts closer, many of them were arguing for argue sake without any genuine concerns. STOP THE NONSENSE if we want this virus to go away. It is the only way because apparently trying to explain why masks and vaccine are necessary is the waste of time.
It's SOOOOOO hard not to just yell "STUPID!" at folks like this, i know i am guilty of it all the time. The truth is however, that it actually takes a lot more effort to do the logical and rational sidesteps in order to come up with some of this crap, so clearly lack of intelligence doesn't play so much a role as does the overly abundant availability of dead wrong information and the speed at which it spreads. Sprinkle in a little but of tendency to want to distrust authority and the need to fit in and..poof
Honestly, this is why the USA is frequently the laughing stock of the world. Every country has stupid and uneducated people, but the American ones are so damn proud of their stupidity, it's just mind-boggling. I say this as an American citizen before you all come down on me hard!
We're all free to either do it or not. Stop demonizing people that don't want to. Although, I get it, some are sort of stupid. But just leave them be.

You do not exist in isolation. That is the reason. The vaccines reduce risk. The chances of catching it so therefore the chances of passing it on to someone else. Fine, if you only put yourself at risk but who never interacts with others? Are you a recluse? What about the way the vaccines reduce the symptoms and risk of death - even if you don't pass it on to someone else is there no one your illness or death will impact? What about the bed you may take up or the nursing staff who will care for you? Do you not care about the work you cause them, the sadness as they see yet another death? There is no way that getting covid does not impact another human being in some form - that is why people should take the vaccine, unless they are medically exempt, and in which case they should be protected by the rest of us.

I know many people who are not generally anti vaxxers but refuse to take this shot...And wishing someone to die because of their own life choices sound pretty harsh
Load More Replies... to any anti vaxer who may get lost in these comments. In hope to show you a different way of reasoning, let me elaborate with you this controversial topic: What is your fear of taking a vaccine?
6. they use MRNA in the vaccine, it scares you?... what's more scary a controlled weaker MRNA version that gets deleted after it enters your cells and did its job to deliver the message of how the virus will look like? or an uncontrollable virus that will absolutely attack vital functions of your cells? - the vaccine we use for this virus, is a special kind of vaccine. super modern and safe. it has "MRNA particles" in it - parts of DNA ( besides DNA is found in 90% of all living cells - also viruses) the special thing is that this MRNA is just half of our DNA it will be read from our cells and sorted as information as soon as it has been read it's not needed anymore and gets eliminated... the virus on the other-hand carries a full DNA and it will cut your won DNA and change it as it pleases you can imagine the MRNA of the vaccine as a IKEA Manual... while the Virus is a home-wrecker disguised as IKEA employee that is kindly there to build your stuff.
Load More Replies... I just can't read this the whole way through. It infuriates me how stupid too many people are. Do you realize we are in the throes of a new caste system...the intelligent, the ignorant, and the stupid? Unfortunately the stupid will take some of the rest down with them.
I think this is a wake up call. For too long, we as a society valued aesthetics over substance and fluff over credibility. As a result, STEM subjects are seen as uncool, as nerdy no thanks to the portrayal in pop culture. Also, start to really eliminate the influence of religion in governance and education.
Is it bad to think that with all these potential Darwin Award winners, perhaps the pandemic is a bit helpful for the planet?
“This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both, and all of their degree, but most of all beware this boy, for on his brow I see that written which is Doom, unless the writing be erased.” — Charles Dickens, A Christmas Carol
Reading these i couldn't help but think of Darwin's theory of the survival of the fittest.
Vaccinated people cut down Covid hotspots and increase 5g wi-fi hotspots. This sounds like a win-win to me.
you can't talk with these people. we should just give them Covid and watch them realise how serious this is
Stop for a minute. Listen to yourself as you grab your pitchfork in the name of justice

Einstein said: There are two things that you can't mesure. Universe and stupidity and for the first one I am not sure.
I was one of the first people in my state to get the vaccine. This is my experience: Step 1: I went to a public vax site, got jabbed within 5 minutes, and sat around for 15 minutes to look out for anaphylactic shock. 2: I went home. For dose numero dos, repeat steps 1 and 2 and then add step 3: I felt like crap the next day, as to be expected. I simply watched a documentary and binged some anime. The day after I was fine, it really wasn’t a big deal. Just get the vaccine.
Seriously wish anyone seeking hospitalization for covid who has not been vaccinated (and doesn't have a valid medical reason like true allergic reaction) would be refused entry. We need those beds for people who were in car wrecks, have heart attacks, need cancer treatment, etc. Why should those people have to go without care because some self-centered ignorant shite decided he knew better than the real experts?
One of my favorites is when they say "I don't want to be a lab rat" or "I don't want to be part of a science experiment" like buddy, you're the control group!!
An ongoing monthly survey of more than 1.9 million U.S. Facebook users led by researchers at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh recently looked at vaccine hesitancy by occupation. It revealed a spectrum of hesitancy among health care workers corresponding to income and education, ranging from a low of 9% among pharmacists to highs of 20%-23% among nursing aides and emergency medical technicians. About 12% of registered nurses and doctors admitted to being hesitant to get a shot.
I was a health care provider working through the entire first wave of covid for year and a half now taking a sabbatical leave because of severe physical and emotional burnt out. These people and majority of the population DO NOT understand nor have seen the reality of what this virus has done to our society and our people. People are all focusing on the byproduct/side effects of what this virus has done to us, ie. where is my stimulus check? ban vaccine and mask mandate, blah blah blah instead of focusing on how to cure THE ROOT of their riot which is THE VIRUS!!! Read these posts closer, many of them were arguing for argue sake without any genuine concerns. STOP THE NONSENSE if we want this virus to go away. It is the only way because apparently trying to explain why masks and vaccine are necessary is the waste of time.
It's SOOOOOO hard not to just yell "STUPID!" at folks like this, i know i am guilty of it all the time. The truth is however, that it actually takes a lot more effort to do the logical and rational sidesteps in order to come up with some of this crap, so clearly lack of intelligence doesn't play so much a role as does the overly abundant availability of dead wrong information and the speed at which it spreads. Sprinkle in a little but of tendency to want to distrust authority and the need to fit in and..poof
Honestly, this is why the USA is frequently the laughing stock of the world. Every country has stupid and uneducated people, but the American ones are so damn proud of their stupidity, it's just mind-boggling. I say this as an American citizen before you all come down on me hard!
We're all free to either do it or not. Stop demonizing people that don't want to. Although, I get it, some are sort of stupid. But just leave them be.
I don't care about anti vaxxers. I care about the people they may might kill accidentally because of their ignorance.

Load More Replies... Is it commonly agreed that mocking people that don't behave in a desirable way is the way to gain their trust and compliance? Has that worked in other situations?
Asking them nicely, providing them with facts, and denying them access to fun things (cafes etc) if they don't comply hasn't worked. There aren't many options left.

Load More Replies... You do not exist in isolation. That is the reason. The vaccines reduce risk. The chances of catching it so therefore the chances of passing it on to someone else. Fine, if you only put yourself at risk but who never interacts with others? Are you a recluse? What about the way the vaccines reduce the symptoms and risk of death - even if you don't pass it on to someone else is there no one your illness or death will impact? What about the bed you may take up or the nursing staff who will care for you? Do you not care about the work you cause them, the sadness as they see yet another death? There is no way that getting covid does not impact another human being in some form - that is why people should take the vaccine, unless they are medically exempt, and in which case they should be protected by the rest of us.
Load More Replies... Why? To what gain? I've read about people who thought the vaccine was a way to depopulation but why not just let Covid do the job? There is never any logic. I read the links people provide to their weird sources of 'vaccine=bad' and all the conspiracy theories and it's always some nutjob or someone who benefits in some way from lying to people - even if it's just greater publicity. Seriously what benefit would there be to all this? Why would the governments of the world unite on this one thing? None of the anti info makes any sense. I've had my vaccines and I'm one of the people it might have harmed. Why did I have it? BECAUSE COVID WOULD HAVE BEEN WORSE FOR ME.
