I don't get the flu shot. The last time I got it was before signing out of the military close to 10 years ago. That was also the last time I had the flu.

But there are also people for whom the vaccine is at limited reward. I am talking about the young, the healthy, those for whom their odds of dying from COVID, either variant, is very low. I think this push to force them to vaccinate if they decide not to is obscene.
And now that they've told us that delta seems to laugh at their vaccine, the push to force people to vaccinate is even more obscene.

Tilting the odds on a bug that originally killed less than 3% is the ultimate hypochondriac reaction at the very least. Now with the Delta variant, it's even less lethal than before, which is the most normal progression as viruses mutate.
Well unless you are a part of the 3%....lol There is also long term illnesses associated with the virus with many that got hit hard with it and lived. Whatever one thinks the vaccine is like the actual virus is 100x or more worst, so pick your poison.

We do not have long-term studies on mRNA vaccines.

If that's the threshold for lockdowns and mask mandates, give me numbers we got hit for complete reopen and no restrictions?

Honestly, I was amazed at the docility of some of the other countries as their governments destroyed their livelihoods, especially Canada, Australia, and even the UK.

This vaccine is not actually a vaccine, It does not give us protection from getting the virus. The best it seems to do is lower the risk of a cytokine storm...Chicken soup can do that if prepared right, and you have to eat anyway.
I also heard if you rub dirt on it too, that helps.... The vaccine triggers the immune system, nothing more or less. It basically turns a nuevo virus, which can play havoc on people, into one the body can recognize quickly and kill and not let the virus sit in you for weeks before the body figures out how to deal with it.

The thousands upon thousands of dead and injured from neurological damage and other crazy side effects says otherwise.

The whole mRNA is still new. And the fact that they decided to push it for human use because is worrying.
