They range from reasonably sounding ones that just aren’t true to the absolutely ridiculous. Let’s get rid of the latter first, because they show just how stupid some people are. (See Einstein’s quote. He was right about human stupidity.)
Vaccines are not a plot to control anyone. They are not used to inject microchips into us to control our brains. They will not change our DNA, or make us impotent (men) or abort (women), or turn us into a Frankenstein monster.
Something possibly sounding more rational is the myth that natural immunity if better than that obtained via a vaccine. By natural immunity, people mean that acquired from having Covid. In fact, a recent study proved just the opposite: The vaccines offer 5X better immunity than that obtained from Covid, and you don’t have to take the chance of dying from Covid to get one!
Another myth championed by that “f&^%ing moron,” Donald J. Trump and, most recently, by Good Ole Piranhas’ candidate for NJ governor, Jack “Nero” Ciattarelli, is that children can’t get Covid. That’s a pile of crap, of course, because children can get sick, have long-haul residual effects, and die from Covid. Not as often as adults, but are you willing to risk your kid by not vaccinating them?
A final myth is somehow a vaccine mandate attacks our freedoms, freedom of choice, freedom of religion, and so forth. Some even state that vaccines are made using stem cells from aborted fetuses (a myth akin to the one where all Dems are vicious pedophiles who eat children). Pope Francis is vaccinated, so that myth is completely off the wall. A national and international health emergency trumps all freedoms anyway. If you’re willing to die for those perceived freedoms, that’s still not okay. “Health emergency” means that you don’t have the right to take others with you.
It’s imperative that as many people as possible get vaccinated against Covid, including children. If we don’t do that, there’s zero chance we can end this pandemic. And that’s not a myth either.
