I hear you and your argument sounds rational. I wonder what do you think about receiving it for the sake of potentially vulnerable people around you. Just to reduce the likelihood of spreading it to someone who, unlike you, might be in real danger.
I personally didn’t mind the side effects, but mainly got it because I thought: What if I get Covid and give it to someone and something happens to them? And then I thought that it still worths the risk.
Of course no one should blame you if you want to care for yourself but I’m interested to know your feelings on this.
- mensetmanusman 5y agoIt’s rational argument especially now that we know vaccinated people spread this endemic virus. Your mindset should be: everyone is going to get this, probably multiple times in your life, vaccines reduce the symptoms, but not as effectively as having survived covid.
- nradov 5y agoI encourage everyone eligible to get vaccinated to protect themselves against severe symptoms, but that does little to protect vulnerable people. Vaccinated people also transmit the virus. Since the virus is endemic and can't be eradicated, everyone will be exposed multiple times throughout their lives.
- geraneum 5y agoBut apparently vaccinated people only transmit the virus if it’s a breakthrough case. If that’s the case then the transmission is reduced in more vaccinated populations compared to unvaccinated.
- nradov 5y agoPlease stop repeating misinformation. Vaccination has only a temporary and limited effect on reducing transmission. https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02689-y https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-021-02689-y
- geraneum 5y agoIt interesting that some people even when faced with such an articulate and easy to read article still resist understanding it so that their beliefs are not challenged.
