Irrelevant. You are the one who made the distinction of people ignoring “real doctors” while overlooking the fact that pro-vaccine people ignored real doctors who questioned the vaccine’s efficacy and safety. These same real doctors were then shouted down as quacks and were otherwise silenced and cancelled.
And if I happen to end up in the ICU with covid, it won’t change my mind about the vaccine. I don’t trust it and never will, even if I get covid.
Further, if the vaccine is ineffective or dangerous, my getting covid won’t change that. So there will be no deathbed confession from me.
According to the vast majority of medical professionals, any significant side effects that have occurred as a result of taking the vaccine are extremely rare. They occur in, maybe, 1 out of every 100,000 cases.
On the other hand, Covid-19 causes life threatening symptoms and complications at a much higher rate.
The vast majority of doctors agree that the the risks of not being vaccinated outweight the risks of any dangerous side effect by a very wide margin.
Personally, I don't think the vaccine should be manditory. But , if you choose not to get it, there should be consequences...
1; Stores and businesses should be allowed to refuse you service.
2; You should be barred from receiving Covid-Related financial assistance.
I also think that anti-vaxxers should be forced to the back of the line for covid-related healthcare. They shouldn't get any treatment if they get covid, if it means someone else, who was vaccinated, but still got sick, or who couldn't get vaccinated due to a legit health reason wouldn't get treatment. I know this isn't likely to happen, but at this point, my mentality is "fuck off and die"
