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.

Same, I don't like that it's mandatory where I live, it makes me dislike it even more, plus media keeps saying our hospitals are filled and have no capacity while when we visit they're mostly empty, looking pretty much pre-covid, I also asked about this from a few nurses of some hospitals and they said the same thing.

@Nanori It becomes mandatory when you cannot rely on people to behave like reasonable adults and then these same people screech that they are being "forced" to do it. So much for "personal responsibility".

And I highly doubt your local hospital lets randoms wander into the ICU during a pandemic.🤦‍♂️

And for obvious reasons you clear out anyone who doesn't absolutely need to be there. This is not complicated and doesn't require tinfoil hat conspiracies.

I asked nurses (friends) about the ICU, the hospitals EM rooms early days of covid were packed but now are back to normal. and idk why u'd say I'm brainwashed while excluding yourself from it, personally I'm just talking from my own observations.

@Nanori Don't forget there is a 2 to 3 week incubation period so a lull now could turn into absolute chaos in 3 weeks.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow u missed what I said, when news say hospitals are jammed while they aren't <

@Nanori Why? Because some random person says so? Why would anyone make shit up about that? It doesn't even follow logically. Besides, people are not allowed in ICU unless you specifically have a reason to be there. Even if you work in a hospital. It is not like the cafeteria where anyone can just wander in.
