Ask the people with side effects that ruined their life about how great they are.
Its amazing for everyone else of course but everyone is taking a small risk by vaccinating themselves.
Society thinks the risks are worth taking since the majority are going to be fine. But on a personal level, I support anyone not wanting to take that risk.
See the thing is, yes there is a very very very small risk about having life altering side effects that nobody wants.
That is not denied by anyone, the great benefit of taking that risk is that whatever the disease is is much much much worse.
Don't believe me fine, as many of you people say, do your research. Find a disease where there is a vaccine. Compare how many people got hurt/died by the vaccine vs having that disease.
Be sure to pick one that has been around for a long time because then there wont be an excuse for long term effects since they have been studied.
Im happy to change my mind about vaccines if you can provide me with one, just one of the many diseases where we are better of having the diaease than getting the vaccine. What does it take to change your mind ?
No, I dont want you to change your mind. That is the entire point. We should not all think the same about vaccines, like some sort of group think or religion.
Im happy you have decided they are right for you. But I think your decision doesnt apply to me. Im an adult, im intelligent (even though people in this thread probably dont think so), and I make my own decisions and think about how they affect my life.
I dont take the risk of vaccination so strangers can feel better.
Saying you are so closed up on your opinion is whats the difference between us because i am happy to change my mind, if im wrong.
You on the other hand treat it like a religion because no matter what you're not gonna change.
We forget how horrible some of these diseases were because we dont live with them anymore. They got erradicated because of vaccines.
If we, as a collective, dont get vaccinate they may come back at some point and then many people die because of stupid decisions like yours.
Yeah I don't change my mind on this. I will take the vaccines when there are no side effects.
