No, I'll wait and see. I think probably the virus is more dangerous than the vaccine (official figures certainly claim this). The virus is, however, not particularly dangerous.
When there is extreme pressure for a certain course of action, I think there is a lot of motivation for manipulation of data. I smell propaganda for vaccines all over the media.
I have a robust constitution and am in an age group where the risk of death is, in my eyes, low.
I know about 2 dozen people who've had it: colleagues, pupils, parents of pupils and my son: Zero hospitalisations, zero deaths, zero complaints about long term effects.
I believe that action against the virus (lockdowns, businesses destroyed, masks, social distancing and now vaccines being pushed on people) overall is far more harmful than the virus itself.
We should have used all our resources to protect high risk groups: The very old and people with comorbidities.
I think Sweden had the right approach except they did nothing to particularly protect people in care homes, so the virus blazed through those institutions (which to some extent explains their relatively high death rates compared to Denmark or Norway).
I am in no way against vaccinations in general, but I don't think vaccines are a good strategy against something like a coronavirus which is spread all over the world and which has a relatively low IFR. I think (and it's just my opinion, derived from my understanding of evolution), that widespread vaccination will create selection pressure for more infective variants.
I don't want to die an unpleasant death drowning in my own fluids, but it's at least relatively quick, compared to lung cancer (for example). If I'm unlucky and catch it, and unlucky again and it hits me hard ...
Well, we've all got to go sometime, and who knows, it might save me from a long, humiliating old age ;)
- impendia 5y ago> I have a robust constitution and am in an age group where the risk of death is, in my eyes, low. Please keep in mind that you can spread Covid to others without being infected. Your claim that the virus is "not particularly dangerous" is not supported by evidence. Four million have died, and that is the reported deaths only. Millions more have suffered debilitating side effects. As I write, hospitals continue to fill up with Covid patients. Not as bad as e.g. the Spanish flu, but still plenty dangerous.
- drtgh 5y agoI am afraid that vaccinated and not vaccinated people can get infected and infect to others with the same viral load, since Delta variant become dominant months ago in the majority of countries. It seems the bug can survive three days on plastic surfaces, around three hours through the humidity of the air, and an undetermined number of days on any surface within the fluid after sneezing, spitting, etc. As the current experimental vaccines are not designed for sterilizing the virus (what would avoid infecting others) this craziness will never stop. variant mutation, vaccine obsolete, variant mutation, vaccine obsolete, add infinitum. Someones introduced a profit business here. One could think they do not care that both, the virus and this experimental vaccines are hurting and killing people. I wonder, does it exist some compound for inhale through nose, mouth, able to destroy the capsule what wraps this virus? I wonder, if all the population were coordinated "From day X to day Y all we will use simultaneously along X days this compound tested against all the variants" could give a good kick in the ass to the virus, if its coordinated with good treatments for infected? Because what it is sure is this experimental vaccines makes me think more in junkies, the danger, the dependence...
