like the continual “long term side effects” mantra.

im waiting to know the long term efficacy and i think thats fair too

if this is something we will need to take 2-3x per year then we all are just spinning in circles

The usual suspects melting over the vaxx

much higher chance we get an annual flu/COVID cocktail vaccine than this

Chicken pox probably won’t kill me, either, but I still got vaccinated for it.

I had the chicken pox as a kid.

I still have some scars.

A further mutated virus us much more likely to be less dangerous, we can start there.

You don't understand basic evolutionary biology.

While true that long term (years, decades etc) a virus will generally trend to more transmissible and less deadly because that is what supports long term viability of the species. However, mutations are not "intelligent" any single mutation can be more or less transmissible and more or less deadly. The odds of each individual option is just as likely. So if a mutation occurs that is far more transmissible and far more deadly it will likely burn out and not be around for a long period of time but it doesn't mean that it couldn't have a large impact on other species like humans before it burns out.

While a mutation of COVID19 that is magnitudes more deadly is unlikely your statement that mutations are much more likely to be less dangerous is categorically false. Mutations are a roll of the cosmic dice not a conscious choice on the virus part.

Wait, what? You can't be serious.

Wait a second. I literally put my life on hold for these people you speak of. Now they can get vaccinated or know enough by now to protect themselves.

Why am I now selfish for letting the people who really need and want it go first.

People like you fricking suck. I did my part, now do yours and leave the rest of us alone.

---

Because if the vaccine is 95% effective, we can still protect the immunocompromised that were in the unlucky 5%.

Leave you alone? Do what the frick you want, I’m not forcing you to take a vaccine. But you’re either selfish or ignorant. Possibly a combination.

Sometimes, but I don’t go every week

Maybe 1, but I won’t lose sleep if I don’t.

Going to get a shot one random morning at a Walgreens isn't an issue. I'm not some guy who is insane about the vaccine but these arguments are just bad. You probably already go to a drug store every month anyway, one time you pull out your insurance card and get a vaccine. Big deal.

---

Then go for it big dog, I’m not telling anyone not to get your vaccine. I didn’t start this thread.

I think people like you are mad because y’all were forced to get the vaccine for whatever reason and are lashing out at the people that aren’t forced and have a choice.

It’s okay bro, you get your shots and keep your job. Do what you gotta do

Is this where we pretend majority of this board is “healthy” and isn’t obese (a main contributor to more severe COVID-19 cases)?
