This is a parody because I have an unpopular stance on Covid vaccines. But I have my reasons!!

Here is some very valuable and current information coming from the MDPI (based in Switzerland), which has no "interests" in Big Pharma and consists of peer-reviewed data and their conclusions about the true effectiveness of Covid vaccinations (in case anybody cares to read something different from the USA media's propaganda)

Step up and get your Covid jab. Hey, hey! The devil’s advocate I play today. The vax is still on trial? Don’t let that sway your mind against it. Covid we must slay! A waiver you must sign. Don’t let that weigh upon your mind. Come on! You’ll be okay. So what if you feel sick for a full day? It’s for the common good, Comrade José ! Fatalities are rare. That should allay your fears despite the areas all grey! World leaders know what’s best. They won’t betray your trust in them. Their words you must obey. And vax your pre-teen too. It’s child play despite his being safe from Covid anyway! You’ll get a nice certificate you can display, and safe from the Pandemic you will stay. Don’t listen to “flat earthers.” They’re cray cray. For sure, don’t listen to your gut. That’s so cliché! Big Pharma never would on people prey Hear what Fauci’s science has to say! The vaccine’s GOOD for you, so don’t delay. Meet Biden’s deadline. Get free donuts. Hurrah! June 28, 2021 for the Let Er Rip #3 Poetry Contest of John Lawless

So, Andrea, as i read several entries in the contest that spoke to and of both sides of the Covid vaccine conspiracies I had to lay aside my own beliefs and evaluate them on poetics and creativity. The flow, meter, and rhyme of this one made it easy to read and consider. Thanks for participating in the contest

Net has no mention of it. Media is biased. Wish I had more proof especially about covishield used in India. Hard to convince family who don't want you to die of covid.

Thanks for the link above. I have been suffering from side effects since my first vaccine dose, family wants me to take second. Now I will show that link to them. Congratulations on your well deserved win

OMG, Rama, please please do not get the second one. People have actually died, but you rarely hear of it in the news. Everyone's body is different. Take care!!

Absolutly! At the least, people should be allowed to make-up one's own mind, as to whether this is truly beneficial or just another brand of Kool-Aid. I am not conviced that it is needed or helpful. Certainly children, I think, are better off without it. Myself, I will wait.
