For the life of me I don't get what long term effects the anti vaxxers are worried about. I was in the military and was reimunized for everything there is 39 years ago and no side effects. No vaccine has ever had long term side effects so why now?

Like I said I have no problem being your guinea pig so get outta the way.
Anyone who's over 80 should wonder why they'd worry about the long-term effects of ANYTHING.

Maybe ageist? Or maybe pragmatic and realistic. The risk of someone in the UPPER senior years dying from anything at all is high. I'm thinking the risk of developing cancer or asthma or lung disease 20 years later when they're 100, is not as valuable as the risk of contracting COVID-19 right now and spending the entire rest of those 20 years sucking oxygen through a hose in your nostrils.
