I don't care if you get the shot or not. It's not going to affect me. I do believe that being a denier is kind of an old/ancient idea. Eradicating diseases can be done in two different ways. The old way of attempting to survive a pandemic until everyone that is going to die will die. Or you can be a bit more progressive(ouch!) and use medicine to save as many as possible until the disease is gone. If you are scared of a new vaccine, you have to weigh your fear against your faith in science. Personally, I registered for the vaccination solely based on the idea that I am adding to the protection of my spouse. I too am one of those invulnerable folks that believes that they will never get a serious illness. Never had the flu and rarely catch a minor cold. That said, from the information I have read regarding the serums and how they work, I have been impressed with the technology. Even though many seem to think that this process has had little testing, the fact is that this has been worked on for over a decade, with impressive results. Like I said, this is my reasoning, based on what I have discovered. I dont' care if you all decline the vaccination. If you die, that's on you and your family. If you pass on the virus to your family or friends, that is your guilt to carry also. If the vaccine has long term effects that show up 20 years from now, well I'll be in my 90's, soooo....... If we don't take it, maybe we'll get snake eyes when we roll the dice. I do not listen to posters on a forum to make my decision. I am able to reason and research for myself. I welcome opinions, but also understand that strangers probably don't know any more than I do. Like something else that everyone has, everyone has an opinion.
My suggestion is that unless you know for a fact that a vaccination is dangerous, quit trying to convince others NOT to get it. It may save their lives or the lives of others. Not getting the vaccine is not going to save anyone in your family or your friends. Even if the two folks that have died after receiving the vaccine, died because of the vaccine look at all the millions that did not die from the vaccine. Seems like this vaccine has a pretty good starting record. Just saying. This is my reasoning and I do not expect anyone else to change their mind regarding the positive or negative of the serum. Even though I feel that wearing a mask is nothing more than a placebo effect, I wear it when it is called for, but I do NOT tell others they should not wear one. Even though I feel relatively safe going about my business with my own immune system, I am not going to take the chance of infecting my spouse. If they offer a booster next year, will I get it? Depends on whether I believe there is any danger to my family or friends and how likely being infected will be serious next year. New information is being produced every day on the matter.
Fighting on whether or not to get the vaccine seems redundant. Young folks are shrugging the virus off easier than the common cold. Old folks mostly survive, but suffer some serious effects. Like a famous movie character once said "do you feel lucky, punk?"
