Turns out anti-vaxxers weren't just wrong, they were the polar opposite of right.

Study finds mRNA coronavirus vaccines prolonged life of cancer patients
(www.washingtonpost.com)
Depends on what the anti-vaxx stance is based on. If they're worried about unintented side effects, then this technically just acts as further evidence for that belief. It's not a negative side effect in this instance but a side effect nevertheless.
Most anti-vaxxers were all about how the COVID vaccine will kill you in 3-5 years.
Then it turns out that in some instances the vaccine actually extends your life.
That, I'd call a polar opposite.
That’s not really accurate. That idea came from the loudest fringe voices online, not the majority. Surveys during the pandemic showed that most unvaccinated people were worried about safety, long-term side effects, or didn’t trust the government or pharma companies - not predicting mass death. It’s fine to criticize bad reasoning, but it’s still worth being honest about what people actually believed.
I got my flu and COVID vaccines yesterday. Hoping to prevent cancer or something. Slightly sore arm, but no flu feelings.
How's the 5g download though? That's the real question.
I'm still waiting to become magnetic. So many tiny screws dropped in crevices...
Updating windows 11 right now Mr Gates!
it also makes people "magnetic"
Just gives you a polarizing personality.
I never got the 5g version, but at least I can now charge my phone wirelessly through my skin!
Came here for the 5g reference, did not disappoint
the 5g was fine, but I got radio frequency treatment today for my dry eyes, so it really feels like a 10g now
it doesnt prevent it , but prolong someone with cancer, until the cancer overcome the body's immune system.
Do you ever ask yourself, "I wonder if I have cancer right now and don't even know it?"
Gosh, and here I thought this was the clot shot and it was murdering everyone everywhere all the time.
Those "clot shot" idiots, JFC. The J&J vaccine had a higher stroke risk than Moderna, so they jumped on it trying to "warn" everyone that getting the vaccine was terrible.
Meanwhile, stroke risk is higher in COVID patients without any vaccine. But can't let facts seep into their ivermectin-soaked noggins.
i had a much stronger reaction to the JJ VACCINE than the booster moderna/pfizer ones.
Yeah, felt like garbage for 2 days, but that was back in the beginning, the boosters haven’t been as rough.
Fine, I'll continue to get my annual 2 day fever and body aches and a week of a stiff/sore arm.
Software updates suck, but they are needed.
