-Removed-No no one should have a needle stuck in their arm against their will. But as with all choices in life their are pros and cons. An internal vaccine passport system is the best option for opening the economy and keeping the vulnerable safe.
Don’t worry dive their will be plenty of pubs, clubs, shops and gyms etc that will be only too happy to service the non vaccinated.
The post that was quoted here has been removedYeah because young children are, in most societies, represented by parents or legal guardians then permission is given or withheld on their behalf.
The child isn’t objecting to vaccination it’s objecting to the discomfort of the needle.
Should parents or legal guardians allow a child’s teeth to fall out because the child objects to the discomfort to be found in a dentists chair?
The post that was quoted here has been removedHe has clearly stopped being a scientist at this point.
Perhaps I should have qualified my statement about the honesty of scientists regarding what they do or don’t know.
At the end of the day all choices carry some risk of negative outcomes but I’ll stick with science and modern medicine including vaccinations.
The post that was quoted here has been removedI’m not naive about anything, I’m simply rational enough to know my limitations and defer to those far more qualified than myself.
There is nothing wrong with competition and it is the job of the relevant government body to clear any new treatment for use by its population. And no I’m not naive enough to think they always get it right but I have evaluated the risk of taking the vaccine and getting covid at my age and with my underlying issues and I shall be taking the vaccine.
You with your superior knowledge of these things will obviously make a much more informed choice depending on your own circumstances.
-Removed-I think it is a bit conspiratorial dive because yes they are for profit organisations but they are staffed by human beings.
Scientists are not evil people ( although some evil people become scientists ).
There’s are reasons why these vaccines have hit the market so quickly. They have been supported, backed and financed at a governmental level. The horrific health, social, economic and political consequences of this pandemic have not been lost on the scientific world and they have responded in the same way as health care and other frontline workers, with total commitment.
There is fine line between a healthy scepticism regarding big pharma and anti Vaxxer conspiracy theories.
But you and others here can stop worrying about possible ill effects of the vaccine because I shall be taking it before you.
If I’m still being wilfully naive in the spring you can probably relax and get the vaccine.
