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.

Herd immunity once meant being immune to something by either vax or having the virus. Now, many wish to say that only a vax can give herd immunity.
What a vaccine really is has been redefined to fit what the new vaccines are and what they do.
People who are vaccinated are still getting the virus. They aren't "saving" any unvaccinated by separating them and locking them in their homes. What magnanimous B.S.!
Crowded E.R. rooms may be so in huge cities, but it's not happening in a lot of hospitals around here.

@SW-User One size doesn't fit all.

@carpediem Nope. It sure doesn't. And all those who judge me and others not getting this particular vaccination... seems to me they'd feel pretty crappy if the table was turned and they were being attacked the way they are attacking others.
Free to make a choice seems to work only if it's the choice others are pushing you to make.

@SW-User 100% agree.

@SW-User This is nothing new. The difference is herd immunity "naturally" usually means thousands or millions die for no valid reason in the modern era.

The definition of a vaccine has not changed. Sure people still get the virus but that is not the point and never has been. It is about boosting your system so it doesn't kill you. Also it does greatly reduce infection rates. That is just a fact.

And lockdowns aka quarantines have worked for centuries but now that suddenly doesn't work to fit your narrative of being "oppressed."

Crowded E.R. rooms may be so in huge cities, but it's not happening in a lot of hospitals around here.

One random person's personal anecdote is not evidence of anything.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Hello? I already had covid and didn't die... I don't need your damn vaccine.
I'll live just fine.

@SW-User And FYI, natural immunity fades over time. So you probably still should consider it.

SW-User

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Hahahaha! I could say the same about your "vaccine"

I'm seriously done here. It's always a fight because the vaccinated are always right.

@SW-User You could but it would be factually wrong.

Sorry, but some things are just objectively true and factual.

I get my medical advice from doctors and scientists, not Facebook posts.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow gave you a down vote. Don't ever assume you are superior in how you get your information or that others use crapbook!
Done with you. Do not tag me again.

@SW-User It has nothing to do with feeling superior. That seems to be your gig. But some things are just true and facts.

When your car breaks down, do you go to a mechanic or some random on the internet?

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow blocking you now. Bye.
