For me, the logic went as follows:
The elderly, the sickly, and the obese were the most at risk.
Being young and healthy, the risk to me was negligible.
The covid vaccines did not prevent transmission, so getting jabbed would not help eradicate the virus.
Because of the limited benefits the vaccine would provide to me and its non-sterilizing nature, I decided not to get vaccinated against covid.
In the end I got covid, was sick as a dog for a few days, then I was fine. I'm happy with my decision. But I would never suggest to anyone who got the covid vaccine that they made the wrong decision, it's an individual choice to make.
- brnt 3y agoI'm not sure what you mean when you say: the vaccines did not prevent transmission. Getting a shot makes it less likely for the virus to reproduce in your body, so any aerosoles you emit will have fewer or no virus content, which is precisely how it helps reduce transmission, does it not?
