We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

What? :-)
I think you need to look again. The vaccine is not killing people, nor is it leaving them with permanent lesions on their lungs and diminished lung function. It is not enlarging hearts.

I dont mean in general, I mean for me personally. At the end of the day I think it's a personal choice. As much as I have personally been around those with it, doctors who worked in the covid wards and even sleeping in the same bed as my wife who had it, I personally see no reason for me to take the risk, as minimal as they may be, for something that hasnt even given me the sniffles.

I remember a similar thought by my father with another vaccine.
He had raised 7 children through public schools and all the "diseases", flu, and cold that they brought home and he had never had more than mild reactions even when those around him had suffered from horribly high fever and all that stuff. Then he actually got a strong/bad case of the flu and was hospitalized for almost 2 weeks and he truly thought he was going to die in that hospital bed. He has been taking the flu vaccine ever since.

Right. You are waiting for it to give you lung lesions and then you will take the vaccine?

Never had one of those either. I think the last shot I had was a tetanus shot when I was 16.

Hey man, you do you and that is great. It is your right and choice. I wish you all the best. I just hope that choice doesn't come with a consequence that you cannot live with.

And that's exactly it, we should all wish everyone the best regardless of the choice they make. If you feel strongly one way or the other you do that. In the same vein you wish the best for me I hope the best for anyone vaccinated that they dont have long term issues.

I wont take it even if they said I had it. IF something happens to me there is no recourse. That's the main thing that worries me. There is too many IFs. What I KNOW is that I have been exposed a lot and never had a single symptom.

Until then I'm not coming anywhere near that vaccine.
I have a responsibility to my family to be able to provide for them.
The risk of the vaccine complications at the moment far outweigh the risk of the virus.
I also dont discourage anyone from taking it if they want. It's a terrible pandemic for some, others are hardly affected.
It affected everyone differently and not just by becoming ill or not.
guy died near here Tuesday who said same thing....

his responsibility to his family didnt override his decision to not vax. His 3 daughters will grow up with no dad.

pretty fucked up to risk your kids future with no parent

but hey

its about you....not your family

Sucks for his kids. I dont have kids and my wife views the vaccine as I do. Our decision, our risk. Just like the risk with taking it. It's your decision to weigh that risk and decide for yourself.

You won't take the vaccine because there's no recourse if you take the vaccine and it causes serious health issues. So then, what recourse do you have if you get COVID and it causes serious health issues or worse?

Current culture likes to parent each other.

The shame game is in full force.

30-40k die every year from the flu. I guess we accept certain fatalities.

Do what you think is best for you and your family, just like everything else.

It is just not your risk alone you realize that right? You may get Covid and are ok but you will be spreading it to 5-10 others that could possibly die from it.

Same thing can be said about speeding/tailgating on the highway.

Which way too many people do.

The fact that vaccinated people might be walking around with no symptoms due to vaccination but still spreading it could play a big factor in this.

We were sold the idea that vaccination would stop spread and frankly that may not be true. It should lessen severity for certain.
I agree that we need to continue studying it, but from what I've read so far, the conclusion is that vaccinated people are less likely to spread it and it's less likely to be serious when they do. So unless we learn something that reverses this, I'm going to trust the existing studies and assume that unvaccinated people are the main culprit.

The CDC has a little blurb in here:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...ugh-cases.html

Studies show that fully vaccinated people can be less likely to spread the virus to others, even if they do get COVID-19.

and in here:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...ssen%20vaccine.

Evidence demonstrates that the authorized COVID-19 vaccines are both efficacious and effective against symptomatic, laboratory-confirmed COVID-19, including severe forms of the disease. In addition, a growing body of evidence suggests that mRNA COVID-19 vaccines also reduce asymptomatic infection and transmission. Substantial reductions in SARS-CoV-2 infections (both symptomatic and asymptomatic) will reduce overall levels of disease, and therefore, viral transmission in the United States. However, investigations are ongoing to assess further the impact of COVID-19 vaccination on transmission.

The Cleveland Clinic says this:

https://health.clevelandclinic.org/c...-19-to-others/

Can fully vaccinated people still transmit the virus to others, including other vaccinated people?
While it is possible, Dr. Cardona says that the ability to transmit COVID-19 may occur at a lower rate. She adds that this could also be a reality for people who don’t have a good immune response to vaccines.
