There is currently no vaccine that is zero risk
- isodev 10mo agoLife is generally not zero risk :)
- hammock 10mo agoI believe you are right. Including amorous congress and vaccines
- 1121redblackgo 10mo agoand in the same breathe, the risk is closer to zero than not.
- koolba 10mo agoSure but specifics count. 49% is also closer to zero than it is to a 100%.
- 1121redblackgo 10mo agoComplications from vaccines are not anywhere close to 49% if that is what you are insinuating.
- wolvoleo 10mo agoWhat's the risk of a vaccine? What could happen?
- LorenPechtel 10mo agoAny infection risks sensitizing the immune system against some aspect of the human body. More likely with more severe infections, but not even a pseudo-infection is completely immune from it as it's a property of the immune system, not of the vaccine. The risk is very low, not zero. (And dengue fever has the nasty property of making subsequent infections worse--and the vaccine does the same thing. Thus you get the really weird risk balance of only vaccinating those who have already had it. Also, Covid is prone to causing myocarditis--and the vaccine carries a small risk of doing the same thing. AFIAK no vaccine caused case is serious, though.)
