Well, my work is going to require vaccinations. I was hoping to avoid this, but here we are. I wrote this because I knew this was coming. I researched both sides of getting the vaccine so not all of these words are mine. If you google either “reasons to get the COVID vaccines” or “reasons to not get the COVID vaccines” you may see both sides in much the same way that I did.
I wrote the below to present my reasoning to my bosses so that they may better understand my current perspective/stance.
Before proceeding to what I wrote I would like to say that my bosses are not bad people whatsoever. In fact, they are some of the kindest and most amazing people I have ever met. I love working and learning from them and they are merely working to provide an environment that they feel is safe/comfortable for their employees, clients and their families– I cannot possibly ever fault them for that. However, they are requiring that everyone be vaccinated to enter the office and unfortunately for the both of us, that is something that I am not able to jive with.
New York is an “at will” working state so I may be let go when things return to “normalcy’. If so I have no hard feelings at all, only love and understanding for their point of view. I just hope we may find a way to continue to work together despite this. They have told me that they respect my opinion and do not think any less of me for my thoughts (currently) and I am very appreciative of that.. well one of them (there are three) said this; unfortunately for me the other two did not chime in with agreement so I do not know their personal thoughts since I have not directly asked, however, everyone has has someone near to them (or relatively near to them) continue on to the next stage of life and I do not blame them for having their stance/reaction to these events; their stance makes sense to me and if I had their point of view then I would likely say the same thing.
Without further ado, below is the reasoning I have for not getting my COVID vaccine, do with that what you will:
First off, I would like to say that I would like to continue working at this business. Would you all like to continue working with me? If so, then I would like to know how we can get through this together.
I would like to say that I heard on the call (we had a call discussing the new policy) that the reasoning for the new policy is about everyone’s comfort m. I also heard y’all say that you would like to help individuals to be safe. Do you think everyone is uncomfortable with me being unvaccinated until I feel comfortable with it? If so, what about if I wear a mask while at the office? (They said “no” to me wearing a mask)
Additionally, below is my reasoning as to why I would like to avoid the vaccination for now. I hope you’re able to read all of this from top to bottom with an open mind and understand that I have thought about this for some time. It has been a fear of mine that this would be the case as we return to normalcy.
- In a best-case scenario, the vaccine merely reduces the chance of getting a severe case of a virus if one catches it.
- The Virus continues to mutate, how are we going to keep up with creating vaccines if it keeps doing that? Are we going to continue to subject ourselves to more and more injections as time goes on?
- COVID has a death rate under 1% (a point on the numbers being skewed is below)- COVID-19 is a nasty illness and can be deadly, but we really need to be asking ourselves if we need a fast-tracked, brand-new vaccine that may do more harm than good when the death rate for COVID is below 1%.
Sure, you might say that many places hid the COVID deaths for optics and they are much higher than they appear in the “official numbers”. However, the same can be said for the hospitals who received funding/resources based on COVID deaths– they inflated the numbers, which in my mind, counters the hidden deaths. I mean since when have we ever said that cancer patients who died of the common cold died of the common cold rather than cancer? That certainly happened during this pandemic. Really, because of both actions, nobody has any idea how many people did or did not die due to COVID and the “real” numbers. - The presumed benefits of this medical treatment are minimal and would not last long in any case, especially considering emerging variants. The establishment acknowledges this, and is already talking about additional shots and ever-increasing numbers of new “vaccines” that would be required on a regular basis. I would like to not turn myself into a chronic patient who receives injections of new pharmaceutical products on a regular basis simply to reduce my chances of getting a severe case of a virus that these injections do not even prevent.
- I can reduce my chances of getting a severe case of a virus by strengthening my immune system naturally. In the event I catch a virus, there are vitamins and well-established drugs (Zinc and Hydroxychloroquine, and now most recently Ivermectin for example) that have had wonderful results in warding off the illness, without the risks and unknowns of this new medical treatment.
- This is the biggest point for me– Everyone is insisting that this medical treatment is safe. They cannot possibly know this because the long-term effects are entirely unknown, and will not be known for many years. They may speculate that it is safe based on our previous track record of vaccines, but it is disingenuous for them to make such a claim that cannot possibly be known. Because this appears to be disingenuous I do not trust it.
- No access to the raw data from the trials. There is no publicly available raw data from the trials (if the raw data from the trails becomes available please point me to it and I will update this post). I would like to know how the data produced the “90% and 95% effective” claims that are being touted.
- Because these products are still in clinical trials (vaccines only authorized under the EUA), anyone who gets the shot is now part of the clinical trial. Those who do not take it, are part of the control group. Which leads us to the next big point–
- None of the vaccines have received actual FDA approval. The only reason they are allowed to be distributed currently is due to the Emergency Use Authorization (EUA). Should the EUA be taken away, then the vaccines wouldn’t be allowed to be distributed.
As of today the FDA’s fact sheet on the vaccines writes as follows. All are direct quotes:
—- “There is no U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved vaccine to prevent COVID-19.”
—- “The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine may not protect everyone.”
—- “The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is an unapproved vaccine that may prevent COVID-19. There is no FDA-approved vaccine to prevent COVID-19.”
—-“The duration of protection against COVID-19 is currently unknown.”
—-“Serious and unexpected side effects may occur. Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is still being studied in clinical trials.”
—-“The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine has not undergone the same type of review as an FDA-approved or cleared product.”
—-“Currently, there is no approved alternative vaccine available for prevention of COVID-19. Other vaccines to prevent COVID-19 may be available under Emergency Use Authorization.”
—– UPDATE AS OF 06/25/2021: Myocarditis and pericarditis have been reported following administration of the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine outside of clinical trials
—- UPDATE AS OF 08/23/2021: The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine was just approved today. To see my update regarding this, please see my more recent article here. - The development of the vaccinations allowed for running animal trials and human trials at the same time due to the “urgency”. While this is understood and animal testing before humans is not required, I believe many people would have preferred it and due to this, the long term effects on animals has yet to be seen. Though there was a UT Bioweapons research study showing the developments in animals taking vaccines made for SAARS and it was not great. Granted, this is old and there have likely been developments since then. (Study Here)
- The drug companies have zero liability if anything goes wrong, and cannot be sued (see the PREP Act). Same for the government and politicians who are pushing this treatment (sovereign immunity). I would like to not inject myself with a new, experimental medical device when the people behind it accept no liability or responsibility if something goes wrong. I would like to not risk my health and my life when they refuse to risk anything.
- The celebration of this treatment has been entirely one sided. The politicians and media are urging people to take it as both a moral and civic duty. The benefits of the treatment are being greatly exaggerated, the risks are being ignored, and the unknowns are being brushed aside. This appears to be deceitful to me, I will not gamble my personal well-being on their integrity.
- There is an intense propaganda campaign for people to take this treatment. Politicians and celebrities are taking selfies of themselves getting injected, the media is hyping this as the coolest, smartest, most happy, and fun thing to do. It is the most widespread marketing campaign in history. I believe that this is not at all appropriate for any medical treatment, let alone a brand new one, and it makes me recoil.
- Following point 13, everyone else is doing the same, posting pictures of themselves getting injected with a drug, feeding the peer pressure to do the same. There is something very alarming about this to me. I’ve never taken and would never take drugs just because “everyone’s doing it” and it’s cool, especially something unknown with no track record. I would like to continue in that practice.
- I’ve seen people who raise concerns about this medical treatment being bullied, slandered, mocked, censored, ostracized, threatened, and fired from their jobs. This includes medical professionals who have science-based concerns about the drug and caregivers who have witnessed people under their charge suffering horrible reactions and death shortly after being injected. This is why I have been so quiet with my thoughts on this.
I believe that this is hardly the climate that should surround any medical procedure, and it runs counter to the most basic principle of informed consent. If questions cannot be asked and clear answers received, if in fact those who express concerns are mocked and slandered, then informed consent is absent, and it is unethical to administer the drug. - This seems to be the greatest medical experiment in the history of the human race.
- I feel that the vaccine is purposely not being portrayed as the greatest medical experiment in the history of the human race, and the fact that it is a medical experiment at all is being severely downplayed. This seems very deceitful to me.
- Calling it the greatest medical experiment in the history of the human race isn’t optically great, but I believe it to be more honest. Choosing to present the situation under false pretenses violates the foundations of medical ethics and democratic law. If I am being asked to take something then I would like it to be presented as it is rather than “candy coated”.
- The medical establishment appears to not be informing people about any of this. I cannot ignore what they truly are: marketing agents for an experimental drug. This, to me, is a direct conflict with their mandate to concern themselves exclusively with the well-being of the people under their care.
- I feel that people are being pressured in various ways to get injected, which I believe violates medical ethics and the foundations of a democratic society. One should never be pressured into anything, especially a experimental medical procedure with no recompense.
- The government, the doctors, the media, and the masses are haranguing people who don’t want to get injected with a new drug with no track record. They are being called the worst sort of names. They are being told that we believe in that we are against science, that we are selfish, that we are murderers, that we don’t care about the elderly, that it’s our fault that the government continues to impose draconian restrictions on the public. It’s all because we don’t want to get injected with an experimental treatment, no questions asked. They say that if we do not agree to get injected, we should be forced to stay inside our homes forever and be ostracized from public life. This is a perversion of common sense and morality.
- The drug companies have a long and glorious history of causing mass carnage with wonder drugs they thrust on unsuspecting populations, even after serious problems had already become known. Instead of pressing the pause button and halting the marketing of these drugs until these issues could be properly investigated, the drug companies did everything in their power to suppress the information and keep pushing their products. When companies and people have demonstrated such gross lack of concern for human life, I will not trust them when they hype a new wonder drug. This isn’t our first rodeo. Let’s ask ourselves and then go look to see, who is really profiting from this situation and is their intention to help or to profit?
- Indeed, the horror stories are already coming in at warp speed, but the politicians are not the least bit concerned, the medical establishment is brushing them aside as unrelated or negligible, the media is ignoring it, the drug companies are steaming ahead at full speed, and those who raise a red flag continue to be bullied, censored, and punished. Clearly my life and my well-being are not their primary concern. I will not be their next guinea pig in their laboratory. I will not risk being the next “coincidence”.
- Although many people have died shortly after getting injected – including perfectly healthy young people – we are not allowed to imply that the injection had anything to do with it. Somehow this is anti-science and will cause more people to die. I believe that denying any possible link, abusing people who speculate that there might be a link, and demonstrating not the slightest curiosity to even explore if there might be a link is what is anti-science and could very well cause more people to die.
- I see many things that seem like lies, corruption, propaganda, manipulation, censorship, bullying, violation of medical ethics, lack of integrity in the scientific process, suppression of inconvenient adverse reactions, dismissal of legitimate concerns, hysteria, cult-like behavior, ignorance, closed-mindedness, fear, medical and political tyranny, concealment of protocols, lack of true concern for human life, lack of respect for basic human rights and freedoms and common sense, demonization of good people, the greatest medical experiment of all time being conducted by people who seem to be greedy, untrustworthy people, the lack of liability for those who demand I risk everything.

- If the possibility of a lab leak is now seeming somewhat probable, and Faucci and the powers that be knew about this and lied about it, what else could they be lying about? I don’t know, but I don’t know what to trust anymore.

How to save the world, in three easy steps..

My final reason, the best for last.
Did you make it this far? Did you skim or did you actually read? Did you get triggered? Did you understand? Did you read from a place of love and understanding and attempt to see things from my perspective?
Maybe so, maybe not. Regardless here we are and you have arrived at my final reason for not wanting to get a vaccination a.k.a. be a part of the largest unprecedented medical experiment/clinical trial of humanity so far.
If this reasoning does not resonate with you I don’t know what will. If you do not sympathize with me or understand my point of view I believe that there is nothing I can do or say to get you to seriously consider another’s point of view and what is important to them. I appreciate your vigilance to your beliefs and hope we can agree to disagree, but if we cannot then, well, you don’t care about me, my wants/desires, or my concerns for my future safety. You may think I’m selfish and endangering others by “denying science”. You may look down upon me when we stand upon the same ground/Earth.
I cannot help you, really I could never help you, you can only help yourself and if you are not ready to respect my perspective then you are locked down in your beliefs and I believe that is dangerous; maybe you would hold me down and force the vaccine against my will because that is what adheres to your beliefs… sad (if so)… An unopened mind cannot have anything placed into or removed from it and it is locked down and it is going to continue to contain what it contains, nothing more and nothing less.
You may remain vigilant, but so will I and with all of that said, I present you with reason number 30 as to why I do not want to get the COVID vaccine for at least 5-10 years
30. I would like to be a great dad.
Really this is my number one reason, but I saved it for last so you could consider all of the other reasons beforehand.
Getting to it now– no offense to my Step Dad, he is an honorable man and I respect him with every fiber of my being for I would not be the man I am today without having his influence in my life and I am very grateful for it and wouldn’t have it any other way for I don’t know who I would be otherwise and I love my life.
That being said, my Step Dad was not the standard “white picket fence” kind of Dad. Not only that but my Mother was forever scarred by the sudden death of my biological Dad and fed fuel to the fire of “me missing out of having a good and loving Dad”. When I was younger I bought into this, but now I don’t– there are many types of Dads and I am eternally grateful for my Father, my Step Dad, the one who was here, my actual Dad in this life.
I couldn’t escape that and now my one goal is to be “The Dad I never had”. That is the one and only thing that has driven me to continue in this life. For two reasons–
- I don’t know what it’s like to have a Dad that’s ever-present in my life
- I am the last of my Dad’s bloodline
In response to #1– that is what I would like to be for my child
In response to #2– I would like to continue the bloodline beyond all costs.
I understand that I may seem selfish, and it very much is. Throughout this whole list I probably seemed selfish and uneducated (I hope not considering my language and sources) but I do not care. I really don’t. I want what I want and if you are not capable of understanding then you are just simply not capable of understanding, there is nothing I can do and there is nothing wrong with that so long as you do not force me to do anything against my will.
I do not know (nor does ANYONE) know what the vaccines really do to an individual’s body. I do not know (nor does ANYONE) know what the vaccines really do to an individual’s body in the long term. Regardless of what any individual can say, this is a BRAND NEW injection of a BRAND NEW medicine and as such NOBODY knows the long term ramifications of until we have the opportunity to observe them properly in the wild (thank you to the guinea pigs who participated in the clinical trials before these vaccines were even “legal”. You did it for the right reasons in you mind and I respect that, I do not think less of you at all. Your blind faith is to be, in a way, admired.).
Those who would stand against my opinion say I question science, if they believe in science so much, how could they disagree with that last statement? People often think they’re smarter than they are (myself included) however I (and of course others) at least admit what I don’t know and don’t follow science religiously without asking questions which it SHOULD be able to answer. Science admits when it’s not able to answer questions or when it is missing data, yet people often do not.
Since we do not know ANYTHING of the long term ramifications of the vaccine and its effects on the human body I would like to not take any vaccine because I would like to not take any chance in jeopardizing my ability to have a healthy normal child. I am sorry but that is more important to me– life and the continuation of my bloodline (the efforts of my ancestors and my father) to continue the family are more important than any death, especially considering my stance on death.
“But you could adopt, you could give a child without parents a life.”
I sure could, you’re right, I sure could and still may anyway.
“You could be a doctor, you could save lives!!” ← would you ever say that to someone who was following their calling to be an artist?
I am simply being called to be a Father, I am being called to spring forth life. This is not a new idea to me, this has been my #1 goal in life since I was a small child, since I could understand death, since I knew that I didn’t have my biological Father in my life.
As such, despite the downfalls I have fallen into throughout my life (drinking, smoking, debauchery, etc) I have solely been thinking of my future child and what is best for them and the life that is better than the life that I had that I can build and give to them. I have put them before me for the majority of my life and I will not change that stance, throw me under the bus and call me “close minded” but this is not your child so I’m not surprised you think that as everyone has different ideas as to what is best for their child.
I cannot be pressured into doing something that I believe inhibits my child’s future, for they are more important than I am and this is why I’m ok with proceeding the way I am. I’m ok with losing my current job, I’m ok not going to bars, I’m ok not leaving the country, I’m ok with any “detrimental” effects that may occur to myself due to my actions– that is my sacrifice for my future progeny. I know I’ll be ok regardless of anything.
I just wish people could respect and honor that.
Now let me consider the other side for a second so you have illumination to each perspective.
One of the saving graces of the largest medical experiment/clinical trial of mankind is the largest sample size to have ever been. I can’t contest that, millions of people who “feel fine”, of course after somewhat concerning side-effects.. but nonetheless feel fine once everything has passed. That’s very encouraging for certain and makes a case for getting the vaccines. However, for me personally (nor should it for any scientist) it still doesn’t vouch for the long term effects of the vaccine.
Secondly, my bosses asked me a valid question, “What happens when these receive FDA approval? Do you trust the FDA?”. I said I did trust the FDA to settle their fears for the moment, it’s not that I don’t trust the FDA, (who even makes up the FDA anyway, can we prove they are impartial? Maybe, if so, please send that proof my way and I will tout how trustworthy that government organization is.
Buuuttt the only vaccine (at the time of writing this article) even close to FDA approval is the Moderna and unfortunately for me, I would like to avoid the mRNA vaccines please– this is because they say you shouldn’t have babies with it (initially). My question is, how do they know the initial effects of having the Moderna shot doesn’t extend further?
They don’t, we have zero long term studies!
Were there to be a shot that I had to take and had no other choice, I would choose the J&J because it relies on old technologies (the vector method) and supposedly doesn’t fiddle with the mRNA. I would only get it with FDA approval, and even then, probably not if I could avoid it. I’m avoiding all of these for as long as I can. At least 5 years, if not 10.
Lastly, let me say something else:
If you decided to get the vaccine, I’m not saying you’re wrong
Many people, without realizing usually, seem to believe that because someone has one opinion– that is them saying that other opinions are wrong.
For example if I say, “I’m concerned about my health so I’m running, eating nutritious foods, and avoiding alcohol” some people automatically subconsciously (if not consciously) think, “oh so since I don’t run, eat nutritious foods, and consume alcohol I don’t care about my health?”
I could give example after example, but really their all the same. Nowhere in the sentence, “I’m concerned about my health so I’m running, eating nutritious foods, and avoiding alcohol” does it say a thing about YOU. Are you so self-centered/self-conscious and have low-self esteem issues to think that when I say something similar to the above that you have to make it about you even though I say “I/me/my” and don’t even say “you” or your name?
Those of you who do this don’t realize you’re doing it, you have the reaction without thinking because your own lifestyle comes into question for yourself and you don’t like being questioned or to ever consider the idea that you need to make a change or that you’re “wrong”.
If that’s not the reason you’re upset, it’s because you fear the death of yourself or others. You may say it’s a concern for the greater good and you’re following your morals, but ultimately those morals are about “saving lives” which is evading death. To which I ask, “Who are you to say who lives and who dies?”
Anywho, the ending there was going off on a tangent a little bit but it is relevant. But overall there you have it, there are my 30 reasons for not wanting to get the COVID vaccines.
Wishing you all the best,
FCP 🙃
