You can’t argue with propaganda. Questioning vaccine safety on a “big tech” forum is wrongthink.

I'd love it if people questioning vaccine safety had actual numbers, instead of empty platitudes like '>50% of people who get COVID don't die'. (And if they made an apples to apples comparison with the numbers of not vaccinating. They never do, though, because the numbers don't help their argument.) Most people who play one round of Russian Roulette don't die, either.

  Look, I know for a fact that I was positive before. I was asymptomatic. I have an autoimmune disease. I do not want the vaccine for myself. Does the vaccine actually stop the spreading of COVID-19? Because according to other posts, we do not know that it does, all we know is that people would take it for their own safety, but do not know if it actually stops transmission, in which case we are just talking about whether or not I decide to risk my own health. I would risk it, considering I have been asymptomatic positive before, and I do not know what this vaccine would do to me given that I have an autoimmune disease. The vaccine seems much riskier to me, than COVID-19. That, plus I barely leave the house.

    I ask for numbers... And I get an anecdote, and a personal opinion. You are doing a fantastic job of proving my point.

      Are you meant to reply to me? It seems quite odd. What numbers do you want from me? I think it is quite useful to know that 1) I have an autoimmune disease, 2) the vaccine has unknown side-effects especially for me, 3) I have been through COVID-19 without any issues, and 4) we do not know if it actually stops transmission. To get the vaccine is risky for me, regardless of your imaginary numbers. Show me evidence it stops transmission, and show me evidence it is safe for people with autoimmune diseases. If they come back good, I might take that particular vaccine. If not, then get off my back. If it does not stop transmission, it should be my choice, and you are just giving me a selfish opinion. I am NOT going to risk my health, period. Risk yours if you wish.
