Y’all, I’m crushed. My mom and grandparents got their first poke. They’re all comprised with health issues and believe it to be necessary for themselves.
What are your thoughts on the moderna vaccine?
It’s a simple matter to me, there’s not enough evidence to convince me I need the vaccine. I’m not an anti vaxxer either, if it was Ebola running amock Id be in line and willing to risk side effects.
However, the way they are blackmailing people by threatening to remain locked down until vaccinations for what amounts to a bad flu virus pisses me off. Now they’re talking about yearly boosters for otherwise healthy adults, it’s a scam of epic proportions and you are fostering it.
With viruses, the more fatal they are the less they spread. Ebola is at one extreme - highly lethal, but therefore self-limiting in spread, because it is a poor survival strategy for a virus to kill its host. The common cold is at the other extreme - not fatal at all, and endemic everywhere.
This coronavirus is in the dangerous sweet spot - able to spread, and able to kill.
So the idea that it isn't all that dangerous is itself a very dangerous idea. It is extremely dangerous, as proven by the fact that it has been a deadly pandemic which has killed some 2.65million souls.
