I mean are we open to other sources with piles of evidence that contradict your point of view? * Cut off edit starts here. Or are we only going to look at a certain set of statistics? Majority agreement means nothing if we went by that train we would all still be watching the sun revolve around the earth.Historically vaccines do not cause long term side effects. Hence the piles upon piles of evidence suggesting as such.
If people are that worried wait for a different vaccine method from Oxford, Sinovac, or J&J and not one using MRNA technology.
The I am legend part was purely comedy, sorry if that didn't come across.I got my first dose this morning. Any risk benefit analysis is heavy skewed to getting the vaccine, even when accounting for the fact that some people will not get the virus.
So far about 5.2% of the population has had a confirmed case of COVID (even if we assume that undercounts the cases by 4x, there is still a long way to go). Yet, it will solidly hold the third leading cause of death (behind heart disease and cancer) for 2020 in the US. That hold is solid enough that even if the methodologies for counting are flawed, the result is unlikely to be different once corrected for. Considering that the methodology used is the same as is used for figuring all other causes of death, there is little reason to doubt the rankings. Further, preliminary all cause mortality data supports a significant increase in deaths this year across society.
If one ascribes to the idea that case counts are artificially inflated, than than there is an even longer way for this to run.
There is such a vast gulf between how this vaccine works and how the fictional vaccine in I Am Ledged worked that such comparisons are beyond laughable.
Anyway, this has all been hashed out before. I'll up date you guys if I grow three heads or something.
I still stick to my original statement that if you feel the government or or big pharma have your best interest at heart you must be blind or I'll informed. That being said I'm fine if you want the vaccine as long as your fine if I do not.
