I like much of what you said, can agree with most of it, but you and a few others just can't accept that there is good reason to NOT do it. I was mocked because we fitted 2 people for heart holters due to the vaccine. Something they told us in the beginning was 1-3M, then it was 1-1M, now it's under 1-36K risk. They weren't the only 2, they were just the most recent. Another ortho in southern WI is paralyzed from transverse myelitis. Had someone else come in and break down because her father just had his booster and had brain inflammation and is dead. This was after he had a pretty severe reaction in his shot arm after #2. Sweden has suspended shots under 31 is it?
Age and health status are definite considerations. Tribalism, lunacy, ignorance etc aren't the only reasons for NOT getting it any more than fear is the reason everyone else is getting it. Their reasons are not embarrassing, they are personal and relevant to that person. There is one pretty big women's health clinic here, 5 of the 11 MD's are leaving, and a good number of staff. They all have embarrassing reasons? All more ignorant than you? Less educated? less informed? Just a buch of tribalists?
we're what, 9 months in where we have had any measurable numbers of the population fully vax'd and the "experts" said 98% 95% effective? what are down to now in the latest numbers? 60? 50? even seen some in the low 40's. These are large population studies in various countries. which expert do I believe? what if I expected this to happen because of what I already know because of my education and work experience? but I was just a conspiracy theorist. Easy to discredit those people.
You know in 2017 there was this company with overaa billion dollar valuation that couldn't get their new tech to work. All these investors and health care professionals were starting to see chinks in this companies wall. Very difficult to get the mRNA into cells and too little, it degraded to quickly and didn't last. Too much, the animals attacked their own organs many times. No successful studies were ever published in the interim.
Did they figure that problem out? Why 3 doses now 9 months in? Did they just approve them all hoping it would help control things until they could figure it out? something was better than nothing? Is it the answer? what happens after 3? I don't know, do you? Does a 23 year old who may have had it already or not, have the same decision making process as 65 year old with a couple chronic health conditions? Who's more selfish? Those making a decision they feel is their best interest or those thinking everybody needs to decide as they have decided is best?
and mods, tell those who are unable to have a discussion without tossing in their insults wherever they can and then complain when threads go south to just leave. Why should they shut it down, because it's what you want?
