To Covid Vax or Not to Covid Vax

Firstly, I did not get Vaxed.
I wasn't brainwashed into not wanting it by Fox News or Qanon.
I feel it was pushed through too quickly. There hasn't been enough time, in my personal opinion, to know what the big picture will bring.

A few things bother me about the many arguments I have participated in and seen on here regarding this.
If a person wants to take measures to attempt to not get this virus than by all means get the Vax. Why do I have to get it for you to be safe from it??? This confuses me.

The last thing I saw mentioned the over crowded E-Rooms because of the un-vaxed getting the virus. Wouldn't this imply that we should also ban mass transit being as if a bus or train has a crash then more people than an E-Room can handle could need treatment??

It seems to be an easy choice either way you lean but proof dictates that it isn't that simple.
No one is arguing over the Flu Vax. Aren't people worried that if I don't get it then they may contract it even though they have taken that Vax??

Apparently I am missing a keystone in my tunnel because I am lost on this.

And hes back,dp you think they can ban mass transit in major cities? With every vaccine a certain percentage MUST be vaccinated to achieve herd immunity and there are a few stories of diseases unheard of in modern times because of the autism proponents growing to such an extent

@bookerdana Maybe that is the part I don't get is the herd immunity thing.
If the shot protects you, like with the Flu, than why does anyone else need it to keep you safe?
It's almost like if I eat then you get full??? Sorry still not getting this.

@Dainbramadge But it has happened with the other so called normal vaccines..its a reality of vaccines

@bookerdana I'm sorry and maybe this is why I am still unclear on this, I really don't get the herd thing. So, what I am understanding right now is that if you and 10 friends get vaxed I don't need too??? Because the majority of the herd is vaxed.

@Dainbramadge As I recall,being a major virologist🤣 that in conventional vaccines you need 75-80 percent vaxxed to achieve herd immunity but we're past that in some places but the variant changed the projection

@bookerdana I just figure I can hold out, now that I have already had it and lived, til they get a more solid base on the whole thing. When they get it like the Flu Vax I may start to participate.
