Agree. In my entire life I don’t think I’ve heard anyone question if the usual childhood vaccinations are worth taking. They know that risk is greater than reward.
There was however a lot of skepticism and debate about the Covid vaccine because risk/reward is much more ambiguous.
- wonderwonder 4y agoCovid was interesting from an antivax perspective. It started off as pretty dangerous and scary. Lots of people dying very fast. Then it started to get less dangerous quickly as it mutated. In the meantime the vaccine was rolled out and people questioned why should I take a novel vaccine for something that for the most part appears no worse than the flu. Which I completely get. Then they started associating every single negative thing that happened to being vaccinated and things went off the deep end. With that said, my brother is not vaccinated against covid and I totally get it.
