I thought the woman handing me this was going to ask for help reaching something, but she was handing this out to everyone.

A couple of them fall into the "technically true, but misleading territory" - I'm sure the person handing this out couldn't identify which though - broken clock right twice a day and all

"Can you reverse effects" - no you can't make your immune system forget how to work. Probably not what they are going for here though.

"Risk of [...] or other side effects?" - yeah the vaccines generally give people a headache and short lived fever symptoms

"Have there been deaths?" - The astrazeneca vaccine had like a 0.000001% mortality risk (more likely to die driving to the pharmacy), and was pulled in many countries because that was deemed too dangerous. Person handing out the flyer has likely been parroting "mRNA vaccines cause blood clots" nonsense for years while being completely unaware that AZ was a traditional viral vector vaccine

"Are there doctors recommending NOT taking it" - yeah, there are many notable anti-vaccine doctors, what they typically have in common is they earned their doctorate in computer science, social studies, or some other field that gives them no qualifications to talk about immunology

I hate this type of stuff because it will work of off something like. masks impeded airflow. well yeah. thats the point. but you would have to be extrememly frail for it to effect you. Like on the level where you need supplementary oxygen even without a mask or just shy.

Wasn't the immunity against covid relatively short-lived? I remember something about even getting covid not building long-term resistance, so that would mean that even the vaccine did reverse its effect at some point.

What I absolutely despise, and my own friend brought up in an online conversation, was the abortion embryos.

He claimed abortion clinics everywhere were a conspiracy to harvest matter for the vaccines, all government controlled.

After nagging him a lot, he provided a link from which he wanted to prove his claim.

Surprise surprise, the journalistic piece only said there were cells used to develop the vaccine, mostly for testing, from a single embryo from like 1970s.

We are both from Europe btw.
