I don't understand why ppl are so hostile. Why it's better to die now from a virus, rather than take a risk of a shot? This is not a passer-by who tells you a vaccination can save your life, but authorities who know a lot about medicine, health care, etc...
Some CoViD-19 facts¹:
-It currently has a
less than 2% lethality rate (
peaked at ~7% in April, 2020, only got lower from there
) and a small but significant (< 0.1%) mortality rate. Cancer has a 0.158% mortality rate, for comparison.
-Age and comorbidities are the main risk factors.
-Most cases (70%+) are asymptomatic or mild.
-Even the numbers on it, at least over here, are
severely overblown: in most cases, if you die (even more so in hospitals) and get a positive CoViD-19 test after death, you died from CoViD-19, no questions asked.
Stop treating it like a
death sentence.
It is a serious disease but it's not worse than cancer.
The whole issue with CoViD-19 is
detection and spread. It spreads far too easily and is hard to detect.
There should be a lot more research on detection, instead of prevention or treatment alone.
Take the necessary precautions - masks, social distancing, alcohol etc. (vaccine included, if you are so inclined) and move on.
People were
much more willing on risking experimental drug treatment with current medicines because those have
known side effects. And other than abusing most of those drugs, there are no long term effects associated with them.
Most vaccines have
unknown long term side effects.
All vaccines, even those "proven safe", are in an "experimental" emergency use authorization state by most health ministries in the world. They have not been proven safe at all on the long term. Even more so for the "novel" mRNA ones.
No vaccine has been deemed 100% safe by their manufacturers. That's the deal breaker for most people.
At the very least, CoronaVac, or similar alternatives, should be the #1 option due to the safety of its design.
The most alarming thing of all is that mRNA vaccines do seem to work as advertised.
The possibilities of using such tech for evil are tremendous.
And if they don't who knows what might happen.
