Sure, but it's not the only reasonable position to take.

What are your concerns if you were to do it? Is it purely to take a stance?

  Concern over long term effects of mRNA therapy, of which I've found little evidence Concern over long term effects of the spike protein presented by COVID-19, both attached to the virus and free-floating within my body as a result of mRNA therapy. Concern over long term ability for my cells to accurately recreate the spike protein. From what I've read, this is actually low concern on my scale, the capping seems pretty thorough. Concern over my body creating an immunoresponse to organs/nearby cells/systems where the spike protein has accumulated Concern over my immune system being able to form a strong defense in the future over different coronaviruses when it's been trained to work outside it's normal operational parameters. Concern over the hubris of mankind and the house of cards that is our trust in the peer review system. Concern over the lack of experiment replication done in the modern medical fields Concern over the fact that some of these companies have shady history, including knowingly selling me asbestos to keep my testicle dry during the summer heat. Concern over the lack of transparency in the bridges between pharma lobbyists and government, politicians and media, and media and pharma corps. Concern over the lack of transparency in more broader sense. Concern over the obvious astroturfing on social media, of multiple "influencers" posting the same copy and pasted messages, the bot responses, the general fiscal funding behind this debate. Concern over the future implications of us accepting, as a society, the weaponization of fear, and the saving graces of corporations. Concern over our willingness to change our lives in drastic manners because of the justification that it may save a life, which I see as an endless justification opportunity for future world leaders. Concern over turning fear into a virtue.

    This is why the pandemic is nowhere near over. People who don't read data taking a political stance just because it's their right.

      definitely not the issue of people handwaving away concerns as being unfounded or uneducated. thanks for showing me the truth.

      I read data. A friend is working on the vaccine for Novavax - him and his family will not be vaccinated anytime within this decade. This is very quickly turning into an endemic virus cycle like most others throughout history. We've been trying to eradicate the coronavirus family for at least 70 years with 0 results. This is a leaky vaccine, and breakthrough case numbers reported by Pfizer to the FDA don't paint a rosy picture (somewhere between 14-24%; they don't know, they didn't really test those people in their initial trials, they just assumed they had Covid based on symptoms, which is why they keep stressing that even though you've had your vaccinations, you're still at risk of infection and spreading the disease). Look at the numbers of fully vaccinated people in Israel currently hospitalized. I'd rather NYC enforced high quality diet and mandatory exercise than a newfangled vaccine. But I know, people just want the magic pill....every year...for the rest of their lives.

        Not just my friend, my friend. Everybody who worked on encapsulating the mRNA vaccine knows why the compound was not allowed for human use previously, and why they've all had to show the same diligence (because it caused clots which lead to stroke-outs and heart attacks in animal trials). Your link shows what exactly? That yes, the majority of people with Covid currently, and majority of hospitalized (severely ill other words) are fully vaccinated.

Sure, but it's not the only reasonable position to take.
