I don't think I'm going to get vaccinated, how about you?

It bugs me that people I know who've been jabbed get sick for a few days. And it also bugs me that if you ask questions about being vaccinated on certain reddit forums, you just get banned, like there's a Conspiracy or something

It bugs me more the fact that unvaccinated and infected people I used to know died (or at best got screwed) from it. Priorities, I guess.

Lifelong lung/nervous system damage concerns me more than 3 days of a pseudo-cold.

@Elessar it might be more than 3 days.... You might get better then 5 years later you get suddenly ill from something gruesome

@Jm31xxx Also with covid. Rather, with covid it *is* already known that you can have long term issues.

@Jm31xxx Absolutely, utterly informationally absent response. This has not been suggested, seen, proven or concluded. BTW, you also can't get OBGYN problems from standing near a vaccinated person.

@Graylight "This has not been suggested, seen, proven or concluded"

That's because [i]we're [/i] the lab rats in this one

@Jm31xxx Nothing is happening now that doesn't happen in routine vaccine and drug trials. These vaccines were developed and tested. They went through the regular trials. "Emergency Use" means only that the bureaucratic process was amended.

Funny, no one fell into a frenzy over vape pens when they came out. Or Viagra.
Or OxyContin. Right now for 2021, there are [b]18[/b] newly approved medications. Going to protest each one? The pill that keeps your blood pressure down? The pill that controls your sugar or mediates seizures or help with nausea due to cancer?

That's because all of those had tangible benifits

Graylight · 51-55, F

@Jm31xxx Many of us consider life and continued health as tangible benefits. Ask all the covid deniers who-- oh, that's right. They're dead.

Jm31xxx · 41-45, M

@Graylight I know quite a few who are still OK and as dubious as ever.

And I'm not a Covid denier, just dubious about [i]this[/i] vaccine

Graylight · 51-55, F

@Jm31xxx There are three different vaccines from which to choose, and likely new ones on the way. Every one of them will be tested the same way, they'll all have the same trial and none of us ever know the ultimate efficacy of medication in the short run. It's what we call a necessary risk. This is how science works, even when the curtain isn't pulled back.
