Unless you are a researcher in the field, there are certainly more important things for you to be worrying about. Just get a vaccine, any vaccine.

I fail to see any logical reasoning here. This research suggests an unspecific alteration to your immune system. It affects everyone who gets vaccinated, not just researchers. If you are young and healthy, there is a high chance that getting infected with COVID is harmless. Your body will deal with it in the natural way. Furthermore, the risk of getting infected at all is not 100%. I could make the same argument here: There are more important things to be worrying about than COVID.

  Sure. But you won’t always be young and you may not always be healthy.

  If you get COVID, statistically you’ll pass it on to a few people. Let’s hope you live amongst less selfish people so your own selfish behavior doesn’t affect other.

    Source please? Just by saying "statistically" does not make it true.

        Medical science has feedback latency. Be careful about trusting brand new scientific claims that haven't gone through rigorous testing.

    Statistically, I'm most likely to pass it on to 0 people, because the pareto principle applies: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7674790/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7674790/ Furthermore, the people I could pass it on to are either taking the same risk as me (which is fair), or they want to but couldn't get the vaccine yet, in which case they should be vaccinated first, not me.

  > affects everyone who gets vaccinated, not just researchers. If you understood my comment to stand in opposition to that obvious statement, then I'm not surprised its logic escaped you. Or are you just indulging in pointless rhetoric? For most of us there are indeed more important things to worry about than Covid. So just do what society asks of you, for good reason, and move on.

    > If you understood my comment to stand in opposition to that obvious statement, then I'm not surprised its logic escaped you. Let me rephrase it: Surely you couldn't mean that there is connection between being a researcher and the risk of vaccination. Therefore, what is the logical connection between the premise and the conclusion? > So just do what society asks of you, for good reason, and move on. I have a response to this, but it would be inappropriate to post it here.
