Do Young Americans Have ‘a God-Shaped Hole’? - WSJThe Impulse of Religion
Increased secularization might have changed our behavior, but it has not curbed our urge to worship something, even if that something is ourselves. In an increasingly secular society, Americans have lost many of the healthy outlets they once had. Religion has always been a way for people to claim an identity, build community and create purpose for their lives. Without these outlets forcing them to look outward, Americans have become steadily more self-absorbed. This phenomenon is only encouraged by social media, which convinces people that self-expression should be their priority.

The shot should never have been called a vaccine. It shouldn’t continue to be called a vaccine.
It doesn't stop infection, or transmission.
It is, at best, a therapeutic (and that’s not nothing!!!!)
with a limited window of efficacy (2-6 months), but must be administered prior to infection.
But(!) it has a terrible side effect profile for some that is not well understood. Public health care measures for billions don’t care about YOU, at all.
The side effect profiles at risk are being updated and pulled from some groups as they’re discovered. This is not how “normal” vaccines are issued; normal vaccines are pulled in their entirety when unexpected problems are revealed.

but it doesn't change the point that it's loudmouths like you pushing policy that not a lot of people agree with just because it fits your world agenda. Yes, I'm pushing mine as well, because by now you know I loathe the masks with every fiber of my being and I don't believe someone should be mandated to get a shot if they don't want it.
I'll give you the last word.
I'll give you the last word.
Please quote me pushing a policy other than the one above regarding masks or vaccines.
its got to be tough building a small little sand castle around your mind telling yourself everyone is out to get you, I’m sorry man. Hopefully you can come to the realization it’s not all about you

So, in all seriousness, can someone provide a source for these claims or some data to back them up, preferably with the website ending in either '.gov' or '.edu'?

I have heard this claim a number of times on these boards. There have been plenty anecdotal stories of how people have been hurt or killed by "the jab". Other than the blood clot issue with the J+J vaccine, I have not heard or seen any reliable data or expert discussion on long term or serious side effects of the approved vaccines. To be fair, that may well be because I'm lazy and haven't exactly searched it out.

Vaccination is a safer path if you really want to avoid blood clots.
