Vaccine side effects are actually a good thing - YouTube
Was curious to see the "other side of the story" so I clicked on the link. The video has been pulled due to "False Information" and "Checked by independent fact checkers". |
Taking the shots is not just a matter of "INDIVIDUAL" choice because it affects American society in particular and LIKELY the whole human race. Sounds too overblown, does it? Maybe like an "end of the world" scenario or a "B" movie? Not so! here is the logic behind my 1st statement - if there are around 30% of the people that refuse the vaccines, like the number in yesterday's thread on the subject, then the US and later the whole world do NOT achieve herd immunity - we have a problem! Houston !!!! WE need herd immunity to drop the CV new cases to near ZERO - then we can use contact tracing to finish off the Virus.
If we don't get BUY-IN from the anti-vaxxers by this summer or fall, then we will ALL be stuck with CV for years. And the VIRUS is not going to stay constant - it has shown already the capability to mutate toward INCREASED transmissibility and deadliness! Getting the vaccine or not is MORE than a casual, individual choice. It involves the possibility of systemic social destruction - basically, a nightmare situation! I am NOT guaranteeing or predicting this nightmare. I am just saying that it is a possibility - the odds of which can not be quantifiable.
Some other things are also going on now. We have both large TV personalities and DARK, obscure small TV networks like OAN that emphasize the side effects of the vaccines and de-emphasize the benefits. Parler gives out propaganda to sway the opinions of the anti-vaxxers. And Russian propaganda bots start the propaganda rolling. We need to be aware of the total downside of anti-vaxxer choice. There is MORE going on here than just American patriotism and preference for unlimited choice. We do not live on the frontier any longer.
