have to get the vaccine or i cant continue my phd work. everything i worked on in the past years from bachelors degree to now will be wasted if i dont get the vaccine.
was nice knowing you all, frens, i have been broken, they found my weak spot.
the reason i went into science and pursued a career as phd was, to have an impact in science. to show the worlds wrong doing and the disgrace the media is calling the scientific method, aka "not-questioning-results-that-fit-the-narrative"-science. i wanted to find out about phyiscs to find free energy, exoplanets and possibly extraterrestial life, finally put an end to flat earth, investigate the torus-universe theory, black holes, quantum physics, anti gravity propulsion and all the other weird stuff out there. now that i got into a program and already put some time into it, living like a bum on a wage that is insanely low for my qualifications (thanks academic system) and im so close to the finishing line. they pay me low but from october onwards they will require daily tests if im not vaccinated, that i have to pay from my own money. they will cost 20€ per test, so when working 6 days a week i pay 480€ just in testing fees and then i would have barely enough money for rent and food, not even considering the car and fuel i need to get to work (thanks shitty infrastructure). if i just dont turn up anymore, i wont get paid either, lose my scholarship and will never be accepted in any other phd program in germany or even around the world. i will not only be labeled a conspiracy theorist, a science denier, a covidiot, no, i will also be a quitter.
so i decided to take the vaccine, probably J&J, and pray for my life being spared. I dont want to do this. not because i think there are microbots in the vaccine, or that it will slowly kill me, or that it will instantly kill me, or that it will rot away my brain, or that i will become magnetic. no. i simply dont want it, because there have not been any long term trials in the vaccine and i am a 29 year old, very fit and very healthy white male that has almost no risk of suffering a severe covid infection. additionally, there is cheaper medication that can be used to treat covid as well, so vaccines and ventilation is not even necessary. the vaccine simply goes against everything i have learned and studied all my life: science
thats just my 2 cents of cringe. tell me how i am a faggot for complying
I'm in the same boat. Would have defended in the Spring, then postdoc at a National Lab. I just abandoned it, went back to my old org. That too may be in jeopardy due to clotshot mandate.
I'm fortunate to be an older nontraditional and financially secure. I could actually retire now fairly comfortably, but I want to see this battle through.
I'm sorry, I don't know your particular situation, but I know how hard you must have worked. Damn.
my finance situation is miserable. i could probably go into the industry and become a wageslave, but my dream was always to become an astronaut or a professor.
Put your studies on hold for a tear officially. Work somewhere to save up a bit and see what happens throughout the next year.
At least give it a flu season to see how things start panning out with people's immune systems.
No data doesn't just mean it doesn't work, it means anything can possibly happen.
