Vaccines aren't a cure, and they doesn't prevent you from having covid, but they do make our immune system more resistant to fight the infection, maybe if these people you said haven't took the vax, they would be dead by now.

So wash your hands, use a mask whe... moreBuddy, it has been proved that on a mass scale those vaccines dramatically prevent serious conditions (dozens of peer reviewed studies). Your sample of two people really is not enough to make any conclusions. That being said, it has also been proven that massive nation-wide precautions don't work (recently "a literature review and meta-analysis of the effects of lockdowns on covid-19 mortality" by Johns Hopkins Institute). So please don't spread BS.

      If yes...THAT is what damaged the person's lungs. Overpressure ventilation damages lungs and the throat, and if COVID was already messing up their lungs, putting them on a ventilator is gonna do SERIOUS damage.

        The direction that the world is going is very clear, "money first then will talk about humanity". I didn't care much about Covid but I made sure that I don't misinform people about something I don't understand unlike the Rogan. So Spotify chose the Rogan(Money) over humanity? I choose humanity which means my Spotify account is as good as gone.

            And as always the cover for everything against the decided narrative is "Its costing people's live".
            You cant talk about alternates or treatments because its disinformation or misinformation like wtf.
            As you said, yes we are heading through a dangerous road.

              Censorship is real. We do not have Freedom of speech to be polite and talk about the weather. If there are to be curbs on Freedom of speech, it is the Government who will ultimately overtly or covertly impose those curbs. And if history is any guide, we do not want speech to be controlled by the government for any purpose. Laws controlling speech are always well intentioned at the beginning, but that will be the start of a slippery slope.

Maybe you should start reading the book How to lie with statistics, to learn how a lot of things are inflated or reduced just to fit a situation in behalf of some few.

                Statistics show an increase of cancer over 20% in the last year, over 100% increase in miocarditis(these people will die in max 4 years - ya, statistics), increase in infertility, a lot of miscarriages etc. Over 90% of those that die in hospitals from "cover" are fully vaxed.

                  This is another example of cancel culture at its finest in the "land of free speech".

                  People have been brainwashed over the past 2 years so much they think that the risk of death from covid is 50% . They don't realize it's less than 1% ( still sadly a large number). If you have been vaccinated , great. If not, your choice/risk. Unfortunately, the current mrna and viral vector vaccines don't provide the 99% protection they were claiming. In fact, they may be less effective than the inactivated vaccines available from china and india. They should make sinopharm,sinovac,covaxin available in western countries to give people options instead of forcing people to take something they are not comfortable with and allowing mass conspiracy theories to persist.

As for side effects they are better than having long COVID and very rare. One of my friends did not take the vaccine because he was afraid of needles. He got severe COVID pneumonia and got pricked hundred times with needles. Another one did not get the vaccine because he thought the vaccine would affect his fertility. You know what happened? He died after catching the virus so fertility became a fatality.

                        my condolences to Rogan on dooming his relationship with Spotify. you NEVER submit to the Woke Mob, as it is never satisfied. perhaps Rogan's concession is meant to prepare a legal fight for down the road...when Spotify tries ro end his show without paying out his contract?

                                      And those frequently mentioned „long term effects“ are not as long term as you think. Basically all „long term effects“ happen in the first days or maybe weeks. If there were any „long term effects“, we would know by now because millions and billions got vaccinated almost a year ago.
