Age
 

You are equating age with health. There are many folks who, at the age of, for example, 75, have health which exceeds that of someone who is 55. No, I do not believe any statics which you may reply with, because they are not based on complete facts.

I have a relative who is a microbiologist and researcher who has a patent pending for a vaccine, so he is very familiar with the testing procedures and requirements for FDA approval. He and his wife have been vaccinated against Covid, and they trust the science that went into that vaccine development. But this is what we know - the mRNA vaccines like the Covid vaccine have been studied for a long time before this pandemic for treatment of other issues like HIV, Zika and flu.And the makeup of the vaccine allows scientists to design the mRNA in a way so it does not stay in the cell longer than needed to generate immunity. While concern about long term effects is legitimate, people need to be aware of the misinformation out there. The anti-vaccine industry is very organized and is trying to move people to extreme positions about vaccines using conspiracy theories and false narratives. In some cases these groups simply do not believe in science, and in other cases, they hope to profit by selling other products to "protect" against Covid. In any event, respected scientists are saying that the Covid vaccines would not be expected to cause long term side effects. http://https://www.chop.edu/centers-programs/vaccine-education-center/video/what-are-the-long-term-side-effects-of-covid-19-vaccine

yes, the silent majority. I think the count is over 150 Million vaccinated. No deaths due to the vaccine itself that I can find.

yet the vocal minority will pop up and voice doom and gloom over the vaccine.

yes: Once COVID vaccines are available, states could elect to require that people who live within that state be vaccinated.

NOT TRUE. This is not what I have read in many articles about the mRNA vaccines. Read about debunked falsehoods here......

Interesting to see the Supreme Court's reasoning in regards to individual freedoms vs. the common good. In response to the argument about this individual liberty interest, the court said that sometimes individual interests might have to yield to state laws that endeavour to protect the health of everybody—the “common good.” The court said: “The rights of the individual may at times, under the pressure of great dangers, be subjected to such restraint to be enforced by reasonable regulations as the safety of the general public may demand.”

The Covid vaccine is an incredibly polarizing topic. Possibly because of the MRNA method of delivery, which has only been around for 10 years or so, but not understood.

I'm confident every one of us had a plethora of mandatory vaccinations just to attend school, and veterans had plenty more when entering service. But, viruses that were killing millions have been beaten back because of those vaccines are now almost a distant memory.

As to " the anti-vaccine industry is well organized and trying to move people to extreme positions" - Russian hackers are doing the same thing - for the purpose of sowing doubt and create wedges between US groups and parties.
