I hear a lot of people complaining about the “adverse events” they experience after the COVID vaccine. Redness, fever, paralysis. Just stop with the petty complaining bullsh*t. Okay?

I don’t know who needs to hear this but those “symptoms” are how you know it’s working.

How would you feel if you got a vaccine and didn’t get any side effects? How would you know you didn’t get something benign like saline?

No, listen, you anti-science luddites, the vaccine is fine. All vaccines are fine. All drugs that all pharmaceutical companies have made are fine. There are no adverse events, just confirmation that the drugs work.

I would go even as far as saying that if the vaccine kills you, then you know it’s working. Except you wouldn’t “know” anything at that point because you’d be dead, but we would know. And it would confirm my bias, and that’s the most important thing.

If you question any of this you’re anti-science. Dr. Fauci is science itself and he says the vaccine is fine. Of course you may have to get multiple boosters, maybe even twice a day, but it’s going to work eventually. Give science a chance. Trust science, even if you have to sacrifice your own life to it like the juggernaut.
