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.

I agree with that fact it was pushed through too quickly, even thought they know about the new strains, why haven't they made vaccines or are working on vaccines around them as we speak?
they aren't.

ugh I had to get vaxxed to attend a festival and for my parents, my dad has parkinsons and a very bad chest, so I couldn't risk it. And of course, they introduced covid passports here so couldn't really just put life on hold, if honest I felt I was put over a barrel with it all, there was so much fear mongering, it was hard to try and figure out what to do :(
@Gangstress So far, the existing well-tested vaccines protect pretty well against the variants. Interestingly, Pfizer has internally developed two vaccines, one for the Beta variant & one for Delta, just as an exercise so they will be prepared if an "escape" variant occurs.

@Gangstress Man what a raw deal. Sorry you had to compromise your beliefs. That is not a good feeling but does happen from time to time.
