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.

Viruses mutate that's why there are annual flu vaccinations. If people don't want to be vaccinated then that's their choice but then cannot complain if the virus hangs around longer as it has free range to mutate again and again.

@Krieg34645 they mutate in the guts of pigs and ducks raised en masse in China. And have for over 100 years.

@cherokeepatti it's their nature how viruses survive and thrive vaccinations try and help limit the spread

@Krieg34645 Since the flu vaxes can not be statistically shown to be effective what again is the point of getting the flu vax? Funny story. Mom in law was confined to a secure facility (dementia) for about the last 10 years of her life. Every year the facility would phone and ask if we wanted mom to get the flu shot. We agreed as did almost every other family who had members living there. Every year the facility would send out a notice that they were having a Christmas concert in mid-December. Every year just before the concert we would get notice that the concert had been cancelled due to a flu outbreak among the residences. So 100% vax and everyone still got the flu. What was the purpose again?

@Krieg34645 If you take a vaccine that does not stop the virus And you can still get the virus you become a breeding ground for mutations

@Shaveit basic evolutionary biology.

@Shaveit most don't stop it just lessen the worst symptoms all depends on the virus somevare very aggressive in what they do others not so much.
If you don't want to be vaccinated unless it's law then you shouldn't it's your choice.

@hippyjoe1955 lessen the worst of the symptoms ie the ones that lead to death viruses are known to be hardy and difficult to effectively vaccinate against but if a vaccine can stop the Very worst symptoms then at least its doing something

@Krieg34645 Such a statement can not be shown to be true using statistics. Where that statement comes from is failed vaxes sales literature. There is no basis in science for those claims.

@hippyjoe1955 I never stated a source only what I was taught about vaccinations in school and the nature of viruses.
Vaccines have worked in the past with different diseases example smallpox but it's never going to be perfect with something that can change and evolve. If I am wrong then please point me in the direction of your information I'd happily redact everything I have said.
