This position is selfish.
Covid is very often asymptomatic but still spreads. There is no way you can know that you haven't had it again, haven't spread it to others, and won't continue to do so without a vaccine.
And while it may be asymptomatic for you, you can still spread it to others who it will be very symptomatic for - including others who have been diligent and have taken the vaccine. You can kill people without knowing it.
The longer people go unvaccinated, the more likely mutations are to catch on, which may defeat the vaccine.
You are placing your general dislike of "putting things into my body" above all of our safety and welfare, and you are interfering with our collective efforts to end this pandemic and move on for the sake of our health and economy.
Please don't be so selfish.
- titzer 5y agoI wanted to write this comment, but you said it better. The OP's post is entirely about themself, evidenced in that it is written in a completely self-centered way. "I am experiencing social shaming and being shunned for a position I take where I show absolutely no concern for others. And yet they don't subscribe to my superior reasoning powers. My feelings are so hurt!" Cry us a river, dude.
- mantismd 5y agoAsymptotic transmission has been proven to be negligible and non-issue.
- dada78641 5y agoThere's actually still a fair number of people who get their first COVID-19 infection and never develop any symptoms at all, although it's a lot less than the initial research indicated early on in the pandemic: https://jammi.utpjournals.press/doi/10.3138/jammi-2020-0030 https://jammi.utpjournals.press/doi/10.3138/jammi-2020-0030 But a much bigger problem is presymptomatic transmission, which is why this disease was able to spread so steadily. Aside from that, there are people with symptoms that are so minor they never even consider themselves sick (although hopefully today people are more vigilant about this).
- swader999 5y agoIf they get the vaccine they can still be infected with covid and transmit to others. Yes they will be less severe and probably less transmissive but it's a bit dangerous to think a vaccinated person is that much better than an unvaccinated person.
- randomopining 5y agoFalse. Studies clearly show vaccinated is indeed “that much better” for preventing transmission. Why come on here and post straight falsehoods that take 5-10 mins to google?
