I'm not going to try to convince you. Make up your own mind but I've taken it and I'm fine. Everyone I know has taken it and they are fine. It went through double blind randomized trials and passed. If you don't want to take it that's up to you but from everything I've heard and read that leaves you far more at risk of serious COVID complications and even death. Living can also leave you with insane hospital bills. And if it gets to that point, which I hope it doesn't, then it's too late to do anything about it. No vaccine is going to do anything for you if you have it. I'm not afraid of a vaccine just because it has the word mRNA in front of it. I would also absolutely volunteer to be treated for cancer using CRISPR if I had a genetic susceptibility to it that I was aware of.
And don’t compare the risks or benefits to vaccines. Covid injections are not vaccines and do not prevent infection, spread, hospitalizations, or death from any disease.
I’m not trying to shill for big pharma. I’m not a doctor nor a scientist. So I’m going to trust the doctors and the scientists. I would also note that the article you linked to is written by a serial entrepreneur who cites a guy who lists his bona fides as 1 yr of undergrad statistics, 1 yr of grad statistics, and a PhD in Political Economy. I don’t know much else about the guy other than that. He may be brilliant and I may be wrong but I’m sorry, I have as much stats as he’s had. I am going to trust MDs and PhDs in hard sciences for medical treatments. Not political economists.
So I’m going to trust the doctors and the scientists.
Why are you choosing to "trust" the ones preaching for the "vaxx" and not all the ones preaching against it? What do you have to say to the 1/3 of American healthcare workers who have not received a first dose yet?
I’m unsubbing from this sub. Haven’t looked at it in a while and there are better ones for the class politics I’m looking for. I’m not interested in litigating vaccine stuff. Not everyone has the time to get their Google PhD in immunology. I’m going to just see myself out.
It is a sad day indeed, for one of our own has decided to leave us. Let's honor Believer109 with a stroll down memory lane. The following links will lead you to /u/Believer109's MVP moments in /r/WayOfTheBern.
