Long term side effects are unknown so there is no safe or sorry dichotomy. Covid19 has a 99.95% survival rate for those under 70. Higher if you have no significant comorbidities. It's a choice between taking an experimental drug with unknown long term side effects or risking a 0.05% chance you will die if you get Covid19. That is the truth of the situation. Your take on this situation is becoming as honest as our resident progressives. Unfortunate.Vegas » 23 Jul 2021, 1:16 pm » wrote: ↑ It's better to be safe about it. This guy would be alive if he was vaccinated. Period. A mask is not a straight jacket. It's a simple thing to wear, and the data shows that it does work. Yes, most of those who are in danger are the elderly. But I would like to think that we should be compassionate enough to protect them by having all of us not get infected. If a young guy is infected, he could infect an elderly person. Sure, the young guy will be fine, but the elderly person that he/she has infected has a greater probability of becoming deathly ill. Why not get vaccinated to protect the elderly?
If the vaccine is safe and effective, why not ensure the elderly are vaccinated? Why am I required to give a **** about your grandma? She never baked me a cookie.
