Avoiding Vaccine Conversations?
What is your favorite response to avoid answering about your vaccine status? I do not intend to receive the COVID-19 “vaccine,” for a variety of reasons. In a time of vaccine passports, and when I am asked about my vax status by colleagues and acquaintances on a routine basis (so far only in passing casual conversation), I would like to come up with a few responses. Preferably responses that avoid the issue, avoid publicity and controversy, avoid unnecessarily straining relationships.
I doubt our USA Government will mandate vaccination, but other countries might, and private property owners (e.g., businesses) might. That will be a deal-breaker for me. In the meantime, just for avoiding vaccine conflict in casual conversation (even direct interrogation), what are your favorite retorts?

I’m in the study for long term safety issues. I am in the control group.
Surprisingly, no one I know, not even my kids, has asked me about my vax status. *Nor have I asked them.
In face-to-face conversation when people tell me they were vaccinated I just say, "Great! I hope it works for you." I don't say anything else. In California if you have school kids this is a 30-ton wrecking ball that's going to make impact this summer when they mandated this for school. You will probably hear of approval of one or more of the vaccines for children this week (you heard it here first). Let's just say I've been in the loop...Man, I wish I could elaborate...
Californians with school kids are pouring out of the state...all in a mad dash. I found out the reason I can't get a contractor for some remodel work is because people are hiring them up to fix up their homes to sell. I have a few places in the State and am listing the first one now. Can't dump it soon enough...
On Facebook I belong to several cruise groups, and all the news there is about Royal requiring a vax (as well as most if not all of the others). EVERY discussion turns into a roll call with "I'm vaxxed," very proudly like they've done something magnificent. Over, and over, and over, and over...like I care. So, I'm pretty inactive in the cruising facebook groups these days!
“I hope that works out well for you.” I’ve been using this one too.
The other one I use is this: I know of only one person - a father of a friend - who has died with COVID-19 (notice I don't say from COVID). I know of two people who have died from the vaccine (one was my wife's high school friend) and a third who almost did (sister-in-law). Given those odds, I'm not touching the "vaccines" with a ten-foot pole.
Me: “Close enough, haha.” Or: “Yes.”
Whether or not this is a lie hinges on the definition of ‘vaccine.’ I would argue that the Big Pharma vaxxes do not meet the definition of a vaccine. I would argue that UVB from the sun to maintain high VitD levels is closer to a true vaccine. Even aside from semantics, I would also argue that it is proper to lie to tyrants intent on violating my rights, if the risk/benefit analysis meets my self-interest.
Now as far as removing masks: first of all they do absolutely nothing good. I am sure most of us know that, but in case anyone isn't convinced, they can google the CDC Data Tracker to get all the stats you could ever want. And second of all, even if you have had your full vax over two weeks ago, nothing in it prevents one from getting - OR transmitting - COVID. Ultimately, if it doesn't kill you, it might make your case a little weaker, but only under the best of circumstances.
So, removing - or wearing - masks, is an exercise in silliness. I do both, depending on the circumstances of the moment, but I am still VERY ASHAMED of my fellow Texans for being such (I hate to use the word for it, but nothing else applies so well) sheep and still wearing their masks doggedly even after the state mandate went away.
I am tired of pussy-footing around these leftists, I no longer care whose feelings I trample on.
A lot of info in that one long sentence that will be sure to put a puzzled look on the face of any of the sheep-types.
Your best response is a non-responsive answer that doesn't answer the "have you had it" question at all. I bet someone will come along with a good one :-)
Not meant to refer to President Trump, but the poker game meaning. You could start off by asking them if they know what trump means in poker, than say the phrase. That way at least you set the tone and implied meaning.
I'm not much of a card player.
(Sorry, I couldn't resist. I hope she recovers fully.)
First, I want to see how the vaccinated people are 6 months or a year from now. Do they have allergies they didn't have before? Are they anaphylactic in nature, and therefore potentially life threatening? Did they develop other health issues (increased susceptibility to the flu, for example) they didn't have before? Far too many questions that can't be answered right now.
Second, I have allergies, some severe, and some are life-threatening. Yeah, it's been a small number, but too many of the fatalities that have been reported were from people who shared one or more of my allergies. So I've got (what I consider to be) legitimate health-related reasons to not get vaccinated.
Me: [Nodding my head yes] “I’m working on that in consultation with my medical doctor.”
It isn't the police who will detain and destroy you that are the most dangerous. It is those who believe that participating in control and ensuring directed behavior that they are saving the world, they will turn you into the 'authorities' who claim the right to control you that need to be misdirected.
It is the masses that acquiesce their power to the state that gives those amoral authorities the power they crave. If the majority would simply refuse to obey they couldn't be controlled by the enslavers. In order for dictators to have power people must willingly submit.
My oldest daughter got Covid19 and had a difficult time. I was in the hospital and I got the disease from her. My experience was that it was a mild cold like disease. I take vitamin D, C and other supplements that strengthen my immune system. I do not wear a mask. I go outside and do physical work. (I am old, 72.)
There are many indicators that this disease is not to be feared, as with any disease, activity or behavior there is risk. Each individual must asses their situation and decide what tradeoff they are willing to make. If this disease were deadly then the government would have no right to make any decision for the people and what they should do. If the government acquires the power to force people at any time then it has the power to force people all of the time; and it will abuse it.
Trust no politician no matter what their rank or professed interest in you. Their claims are tricks to get your support. Their behavior will reveal their contempt for you and your right to own yourself.
My answer; "I am doing everything that will protect myself and others." I do not elaborate what that is.
Sometimes as you have discussions with others you will find some who are like you and a worthwhile conversation may ensue and the opportunity to teach or learn will occur. Don't give someone a reason to deliver you to the 'authorities'.
“I am being proactive to protect myself and others.” I will add this to my arsenal.
I took the vaccine, as I mistakenly thought that 94% immunity meant I didnt have to endure the mask and social distancing, none of which offers 94% immunity from infection. Unfortunately, the government is lying and making me do the mask and social distancing anyway. Pretty stupid.
If told by another person to weak a mask, I will tell them this and NOT put the mask on anyway.
I am wrong on this?
I’m just saying some places will ease up on the restrictions. Not public places like grocery stores, but some businesses/schools.
Also, I am seeing more and more public businesses moving from the “masks required for entry” to “we wear masks and ask you to too” policy. I walk like a freeman in those businesses.
Agree with him or not, I still like Keven Hearts phrase, "I had the "Vid"!".
If I get the test then I am providing protection for others against me carrying the virus onto the plane. But if they are allowing untested people with a vaccination on board that does nothing to protect me against them bringing the virus on board. Even the vaccine manufacturers do not claim that it prevents you from catching or spreading COVID.
Never had the flu but I do have allergies.
Any bloodtype can be a non secreator, depends on your ancestry, I would imagine but it is a rarity...
Most of the population are secreators.
2 and 4 are also true in my case.
The lack of masking amongst him and his patients is what some people would see and become hysterical: “You’re trying to kill grandma,” and such.
I would consider him a breath of fresh air. Wish my docs had more sense.
“Have you had the shot yet?”
