That may be but they are not clinging to it to justify their decision. They are clinging to it as one more arrow in their quiver from getting forced vaxxed.

except that has been one of the main arguments since the very beginning, long before mandates were a thing

We must have different definitions of long term then

You have a ridiculous intepretation of it

You think long term means this:

Someone takes the vaccine, is completely healthy with no signs at all of complications, completely normal labs, and then years later develops something that you then trace to the vaccine. Its ludicrous to imagine this being how you track "long term" for any medicine or for any virus

Long term as it relates to medicine since forever is:

You take the vaccine, and then within days usually, sometimes a week or so, you develop an illness that last long term

Based on that chart and my age the chances of me contracting a "severe case" (not death) is 0.0282%. Said another way, I have a 99.9718% chance of not getting a sever case.

This does not take into account good health, lack of comorbidities and antibodies from previous COVID infection...all which substantially reduces the risk of a sever case of COVID.

I'm still not convinced the vaccine is the proper route for people like me in the low risk groups.

But here we are...people trying to force medicine on people that otherwise don't need it.

FWIW this approach is much more compelling than the "I WON'T TAKE YOUR DNA-ALTERING POISON" we see more commonly

The chart you posted yourself in the OP explains it pretty well.

The chart in the OP shows for that age group you overwhelmingly reduce your chance of getting severe illness in the 30-39 age group with the vaccine


Sure you can say you are are not likely to get severe infection, but you cant show me any data on why you shouldnt take the vaccine

You know as well as I do there's going to be boosters required on a regular basis so this is an incomplete statement, in my opinion.

Sometimes percentages don't tell the whole story and you are smart enough to know that. They're useful and important, but they aren't everything.

You shouldn't have to.

You are talking about a quarter of a person to 6.5 people out of 100k. What you put here assumes NO serious adverse to the vaccine. A few serious reactions out of 100k seems like an extremely reasonable stance.
