@@The_slimshady_kkkid_ Not so my friend. I’m a real live human and I’m using my real name to comment on videos. Something you don’t seem able to emulate.

You seem to be conveniently forgetting the thousands that were dying every day, including 5 – count ‘em – FIVE, right wing anti-vax radio hosts who ALL DIED from Covid. Google it. Every single person to whom I point this out has no comeback. You all just choose to ignore the facts.
@@mellocello187 Where they old/ sick/fat ? Or healthy young people ? Almost no healthy young people died from covid. Even less after the less deadly strains took over.
I remember as a vegan the community was big on antivaxx and told me if I vaccinated my children I’m not vegan. So… I guess after 17 years of not wearing animals and not eating them… I’m not vegan. I’m ok with that.
I will always get vaccinated and so will my children.
I always get my vaccines. Good outweigh the risks of side effects. Thank you for the information
Thank you for sharing <3
Great info! Thank you for presenting the evidence-based data about the pneumonia vaccine.
As a 52 year old Type 2 diabetic (in remission with a vegan diet, yay!), the pneumonia vaccine has been offered to me since I turned 50. I have refused it thus far, as I am leery of “optional” vaccinations. I feel much better about it after this video. Thank you for sharing this reassuring information!
Please publish absolute rather than relative benefits, otherwise it sounds like propaganda.
