Im not an anti vaxxer ....Im a person who wants to know what exactly is pumped into me via Govt control so we can mingle within our society..
If I choose not to get the vax until more research is done and we open up the community..
Why do I have to be a segregated person because I havent taken a vax..My spending and social habits werent a problem prior to the pandemic,but because I dont have a vax passport I cant shop or patronise premises I was welcomed in and fond of prior...
And people think Im an unsafe person because I didnt conform to what the Govt demands...
I always thought we are a free country.....apparently I may also have to get a shot so I can go to work...
Coersion at its best....as I said Im not an anti vaxxer,but I dont want to have health problems down the track because not enough research was done on a quick fix vax....
You're absolutely entitled to make that decision. I don't endorse anyone being forcibly vaccinated.
What would you like to know though? Whether these vaccines are safe? The mRNA vaccine is not new, despite what some have said in this thread. mRNA vaccines have been in use for over a decade (primarily cancer immunotherapy,) and if there were any serious issues to have arisen from them we would have a decades worth of data now to show what long term issues arise from their use.
One thing I will say though, you must also realise that in your belief that you are best protecting yourself by not being vaccinated, others feel the same in being vaccinated, and they may not want someone around them who could potentially make them ill when they have taken all steps necessary to protect themselves.
So why get vaccinated if your scared of becoming ill from the very thing your vaccinated against...not being smart just an honest question...when we got vaxed against polio it eradicated the problem of getting it ...just an example...I always appreciate your input CB and I have asked an honest question...Im no scientist or virologist...
Because vaccine efficacy varies based on brand and your own immune system. For me, with the health complications I have, I am a very real risk of winding up in ICU and quite possibly dying from it. Compared to the risk of the vaccines the risk is tens of thousands times more with COVID.
Adding to this Zig, the vaccine does improve your chances of not contracting the virus, it drastically improves your chances of not being hospitalised, and even more so again of not ending up on a ventilator.
It's like asking why put a seat belt on when in car when a high speed crash can still kill you. It's an added layer of protection which can stop you from being killed.
Thanks CB,you and Earl both gave me the same answer and I do greatly appreciate the advice ...again thank you to all with positive advice on a sensitive issue,...
