And let me make it clear I have no intent of demeaning or belittling their work. COVID-19 is a legitimate threat to many people. Any doctors working on developing a vaccine for it are doing good work, and they should be lauded for it.
Yes, it's completely rational to immediately respond to a statement with sarcasm and disdain without actually hearing the reasoning behind it.
I don't need the vaccine. Nobody that I have been around since the panic started has been diagnosed with coronavirus, and I haven't been around people very much anyway.
Also, things are expected to start opening up pretty soon. People who are staying indoors and over-sanitizing might still be getting pretty sick when this is over.
The immune system gets practice fighting off dangerous diseases, bacteria, etc. by battling things that aren't especially dangerous. I don't think vaccination is a bad thing: many vaccines are very good, like for polio. But I do believe certain vaccines will do more harm than good by not letting your body strengthen itself against sickness.
In summary, there's practically no chance I have COVID-19, it's not dangerous to the people I am normally around, and the vaccine probably won't benefit me. I think it's fairly logical to conclude I should not get the vaccine for coronavirus if it comes out.
You think just because nobody you know has been infected means you are safe? Idiot! It can happen at any time. Covid is serious. Hundreds of thousands of people have died, if you don’t take it serious, god will judge you for it, KARENSUEISNAX
If the odds were significant, I'd take the vaccine.
Honestly, I might get it if Covid is till a concern in a few years. I don't have a problem with vaccines, but it seems like a bad idea to get one that was developed and tested in about 20% of the standard time.
I'm not mad, frustrated or even disappointed with your current state of mind. I'm concerned. Attached you'll find some links from accredited sources that I hope provide you with information that may shed new light on the situation for you.
Coronavirus affects everyone (albeit in different ways). A vaccine not only strengthens your own body against the virus but also helps lower the risk of you passing one of the most contagious viruses of the last several decades to someone else.
There is a lot of misinformation and confusion out there. Please for the love of god do not put yourself or others at risk.
Meaning what, in particular? I get the feeling you've made some unsubstantiated assumptions about my reasoning, and you can read my reply to The_Kookie_Kactus.
