Why not?
- lambdaba 5y agoFor the vax, with omnicron being so mild, it seems like a bad trade-off to get vaccinated with v1 Covid with it's presumably more nasty spike protein rather than risk infection (which seems unavoidable anyway?) also, it's known that 2 weeks past vaccination your immune system is weakened, you are more susceptible so it seems like a particularly bad idea during a surge
- LeoPanthera 5y agoGiven that the (vast, vast) majority of doctors are strongly recommending it, do you believe that they are lying, or that they are simply mistaken and you know better?
- lambdaba 5y agoI don't know, I just see the virus has evolved into a very mild variant that even triple-vaxed don't seem protected from, and that the original vaccine has been designed with a spike protein that has since greatly mutated.
- dgfitz 5y agoWhy does it matter?
- LeoPanthera 5y agoIt seems very selfish to me, knowing you are maximizing the risk of passing the infection on to other people, and prolonging the pandemic for everyone. Maybe you are fearful of the vaccine, but the sheer number of people who have received one should, if you understand basic statistics, cure you of that fear. Even if it doesn't, refusing to wear a mask is just plain arrogant.
- dgfitz 5y agoArrogance is attempting dictate others actions via emotional manipulation (shame in this case), and selfishness is exhibited by people who want others to do a certain thing because it benefits themselves. The mask/vaccine conversations are completely worn out at this point. Let it go.
