It’s a lot easier of a choice now that it’s endemic and there are drugs, but long term complications are still common with Covid so it’s more of a gamble than the vaccine. You’re also not reading it correctly but I don’t really care to explain risk factors to you.
Anyway, your point of view at least makes sense. It’s easy to understand and the only thing I can do is to try to disprove it with numbers. It was enough just to write those few messages you did and it’s absolutely unnecessary to spam the thread with dozens if not a hundred of messages of personal attacks. Just a note to science enjoyers who can’t stop spamming the thread with insults.
Disagreement is built into the scientific method. I’m always open to shifting my opinion should the data change, but currently the overwhelming data is showing vaccines, including the Covid 19 vaccine, to be safe and effective on a grand scale when it comes to positive health outcomes for a population vs the control group. Edward Jenner faced the same uphill challenges explaining it to people hundreds of years ago when he created the first vaccine though so I suppose it makes sense the debate is still around. Personally I think that science should invite skeptism at large scale but I just don’t think there’s any place for fighting against expert opinion and agreement when the vast majority of data provides proof for it. I understand the choice in vaccination and vaccination opinion often feels like a very personal one and It’s odd, because I think a lot of people would probably tell you vaccines are only good so perhaps you feel lied to there… And truth be told, they kill people occasionally. I hate saying that’s an unfortunate reality of life, but the more unfortunate reality is that greater numbers would die or experience potentially extreme health complications without them based on all evidence we have gathered to this point and historically. In an ideal world we’d be past this point and it would be a perfect or entirely unnecessary technology, but we must make due with what we have in the face of things we cannot at this point reasonably control such as viruses.
