Got a friend with a 20 y/o son, incredibly healthy, who developed myocarditis after the vax. This is being shown to be a side effect in young males.
He basically went into total body failure and was intubated for several weeks. Both legs amputated, liver and kidney failure, and may need a heart transplant.

I hope he's able to recover. That's an extremely rare response.
The odds of myocarditis from the vaccine are far lower than the odds from contracting Covid.

My friend from the military went to the hospital with heart trouble after getting the vax. They discharged him after a couple of days. Two weeks later he went back and died.dermdoc said:

They do, and I don't want to downplay it. It is still important to keep the broader context. Your friend's son unfortunately hit the very worst kind of lottery.

No, you wouldn't. The odds of significant side effects are much higher with Covid than the vaccines.

I agree with this. Problem is I see people not questioning science but flatly admitting they won't believe it regardless.
Or some others who question science and drink up tweets and Facebook posts as gospel.

There's "questioning science" and then there's, "I don't like what science says, so I'm going to find any excuse I can to avoid reality." I see a lot more of the latter than the former in the anti-vaccine, anti-mask crowd.

The best source of scientific data is Wikipedia, followed very closely by the R&P agnostic crew (none of which are even employed in scientific or medical research).

Good for you. Going off of the stats, you're much better off with the vaccine. Much, much better off.

Show me a definitive study that show that masks do much unless they are N95s.
You can't because you can not do the trials that are necessary due to ethics.
Do you really believe these folks walking around HEB with the blue cotton masks are doing any good?
Sometimes you have to think critically and use common sense. And not just blindly follow "science" which often is biased. Trust me, I have a lot of experience of writing and reviewing scientific articles. Amazing how stats can be used to say what you like or to support who is paying you.
And I have really tried to stop being a pompous turd, but I can still smell and spot them. Very easily.

Did your studies of myocarditis factor in what a patient's chances were they would get the virus? Or just what the incidence of myocarditis in people known it have Covid? Because if not, it is worthless.
There is one hundred percent chance of getting the vaccine if you choose to get it.
There is not a 100% chance you will get Covid if you are not vaccinated.

My whole problem with the mask mandate from the beginning….
In the occupational world OSHA says in order to prove a mask is protecting you adequately you must go through either a Quantitative or Qualitative fit test (with the actual mask you plan on wearing) It doesn't take a whole lot to fail one of these test ( ie. razor stubble, scars on the sealing surface, fat face, skinny face etc. etc.) So now the government is certain any person can put on a face covering or mask and be protected from a virus…I've been involved with these test for almost 30 years…just not buying it…

Disagree. I never shut down and still saw 60 people a day all last year. And I was 65 y/o. Sometimes wore a mask. Never social distanced and went to all the Aggie away games.

You know as well as I do that the plural of anecdote is not data. Given the transmissibility of Delta, the odds of avoiding the virus entirely are extremely thin.
