re: AstraZeneca Covid-19 Vaccine’s Benefits Outweigh Risks: WSJ

Worth it IMO.

Yep, being a human guinea pig for an untested Immunotherapy is far better than catching a virus with a 98+% chance of survival.

Again, statistically, I have a higher percentage chance of dying from the vaccine than I do the actual virus. But please, continue.

I am not sure why so many people just focus on the death aspect most vaccines are for illnesses that have a low mortality rate. Do you turn down every vaccine if the mortality rate is incredibly low? Plenty of people have survived but had serious complications and lingering effects which can now hopefully be avoided.

I find it fascinating how the vaccine has turned so political.

If you feel you are in a higher risk category and take it, some come here and call you crazy.

If you feel you are in a low risk category and have concern because the vaccine is under emergency use authorization and not full FDA approval, you are called an anti-vaxxer.

Both positions are reasonable.

So let me get this straight, you trust a Chinese-made virus more than an American-made vaccine?

I think we've all been exposed to the virus at this point, and it's not as if the vaccine will prevent you from ever getting the virus, so this doesn't seem like much of a gotcha to me.


I know that mRNA vaccines have been a known possibility for a long time now, but they haven't been tried, so we don't know long-term effects. Reading between the lines, I'm assuming that people well educated on the subject of DNA and RNA aren't worried about that, because the modifications aren't permanent?

I don't trust anything about the vaccine. I believe the authorities have fully earned that distrust based on the way they've handled this virus from the very beginning.
I don't see how someone can have seen everything we've seen this last year and not have some doubts about the vaccine.

The reality is people have trepidation about putting things in their body despite the fact almost all of us have large numbers of hypocritical views about that sort of thing.

My decision about the vaccine was based not on what doctors (outside of my wife) say but what they do and suggest their loved ones do. Given the extremely high percentage of doctors that have gotten the vaccine I personally feel comfortable despite not being at a very high risk for significant issues with the virus.

The key for me is whether or not we reach herd immunity. Without that as long as there is significant active transmission of the virus we will continue to get thousands of mutations any one of which could change how virulent the virus is. If it not only becomes more virulent but the spike protein changes enough so that the immune response current vaccines stimulate does not give protection we could end up with a FAR worse situation where even the young and fit have a high percentage of morbidity. I couldn't care less who does and does not take the vaccine as long as we reach that magic number.

I appreciate you crawfishing on your insult.

The Liberal media in Europe is simply lying and spreading false propaganda because its a British vaccine.

Ding Ding Ding, it hurts their narrative that England is an economic and health mess because they dont have the EU to lean on. frick the EU

Because the blood clots are happening LESS than they do in the general population. There's no direct correlation.

I don't actually think there is a correlation between this vaccine and the blood clots I was just using that to make an equivalency to the insanity of calling every death, no matter how non-COVID related, a COVID death if the person had COVID at the time of death.

Good thing the current covid vaccines aren't gene therapy

Good thing they’re not really vaccines either.
