"Those who are reasonably healthy have no symptoms, or very mild symptoms."
Even if that's true, how many people are walking around out there with undiagnosed conditions, do we just let Covid rip through the populace to find out?
ETA- Most of the stuff I've read points to there being more to it than this but it does seem to hit hardest the old and, as you say, those with pre-existing conditions. So letting this get to herd Immunity without a vaccine program is going to kill those that would have succumbed to Covid anyway, those that would have been taken by the flu and great swathes of the elderly and sick and those with unknown underlying conditions.
This is too great a cost from where I'm standing.

You're free to believe anything, or anybody you like.
Seems to me like we're talking about a picture of meat and potatoes, instead of talking about meat and potatoes.
So : an exercise if you will, for you, the OP, anyone else interested, Citizen A, Citizen B, and whomever.
Let's say you, or a loved-one is called-in for a Covid-19 vax for Wednesday morning 11AM Eastern time ( in 48 hours.)
The exercise is to take us through all of the information gathering process you would do, and then give us a yes or no decision, based on your now supposedly informed consent.
Tell us what dastardly dangerous misinformation you came across and discarded, and what you deemed trustworthy.

I've spoken to my GP about it.
I've spoken to.my stepson who has a master's degree in biology and working on another in chemistry.
I've spoken to friends who work in the NHS.
I've discounted anything that's shared on YouTube and Facebook and can't be verified outside of those mediums.
It's not hard to establish what is the most likely correct information really.

Did your GP disclose to you, that he has a personal financial incentive to recommend the jab, or do you figure if they stopped paying him, he would still do his job for free ?
Or is that a dangerous conspiracy theory ?
Is your stepson free to think : or has he been influenced by his 'education', his 'position', or any ongoing grants ?
Or is that a dangerous conspiracy theory, just asking ?
Are your friends at the NHS free to think : or have they been influenced by their 'education', 'position', or any ongoing grants or such ?
Or is that a dangerous conspiracy theory, just to ask that ?
Plenty of vids posted in threads here, with links to back them up. Great that you are skeptical of unsourced claims.
Do you figure that trusting the advice of people, whom have a personal financial concern involved, is good enough ?
Would you ask a car salesman if you need a new car ?
Did they all tell you that the vax is an unproven, unapproved under normal methods, experimental gene-therapy ?
Did they tell you any info about adverse reactions, and whom should not take the jab ?
Did they tell you that getting the jab won't prevent you from getting the supposed Covid-19, supposedly spreading it to others, and you'll still supposedly need to wear a mask ?
So how did you make-out with the ..."...most likely correct information..."... ?

I really can't continue with any degree of enthusiasm with this.
I could tell you that my GP has been the families gp for decades but that means nothing to you.
That my stepson understands thinks I don't even try to and has no financial obligations to anything or anyone right now, as I said he's studying again.
As to the rest of it I suppose I could question people's reasoning and choose to side with the people making videos on YouTube about it I guess. But then I'd have to question their reasoning beyond ad revenue so I think I'd choose people I know and trust with nothing I can see to gain from lying to me.

I'm not saying that they are handling this correctly. I'm saying there is a virus, it is killing people and folk need to stop denying that.
The virus isn't killing anyone.
What it is doing is causing pre-existing serious conditions to kill them.
Those who are reasonably healthy have no symptoms, or very mild symptoms.

That's a load of bollocks.
22% of perfectly healthy 18 - 49 year olds hospitalised by Covid ended in ICU, 10% needed mechanical ventilation: academic.oup.com...
Perfectly healthy kids are dying, having limbs amputated and displaying post stroke symptoms due to Covid causing MIS-C.
A number of athletes with no underlying conditions have died. Those that survive show extensive lung damage equivalent to a lifelong chain smoker as it causes holes in the lungs and heart. bjsm.bmj.com... www.sheffield.ac.uk...

Here is something that is not a conspiracy.
Govt overreach is stepping up to dangerous levels, the likes we have not seen in half a century.
Arriving in the UK?
Just announced that forced isolation - i.e. prison - will be required for all people arriving from 33 countries (even if they have been tested negative in the last 3 days).
The prison sentence for travelling to the UK (which by the way seem to only apply to countries of main black and brown folks) is 2 weeks.
If you are coming, be aware you will have to pay for your own prison bill somewhere between 1000 and 1500 Sterling per person in your party.
You'll be expected to clean your own room - including the toilet. No guests or any hotel staff are allowed to see you.
The prison facility you will be put in will be guarded on every floor by govt security services to make sure you do not leave your room. If you smoke, you will be escorted outside and then back in again.
Fines of 10,000 sterling if you manage to escape.
You'll also be logged and all your personal contact details recorded for tracking purposes.
Meanwhile, the announcement is expected over the next few days that vaccines will be enforced by local councils - with visits from local council officers for those refusing to take the needle.
I wish I was exaggerating.
I am not.

There's no rumour of any such event happening. UK Gov issued a reminder to employers last week not to introduce a mandatory vaccination policy as it would be illegal under UK law.
There's no mandatory vaccination. No register of people deciding not to take it and no legal framework whatsoever for a local authority to take such action. The claim is completely false.

It's one of the times where having an uncodified constitution is a major benifit. There''s a few hundred laws and documents that would need to be abolished or rewriten before mandatory vaccination could be legal in the UK main ones being Human Rights Act, Data Protection Act and NHS Constitution.
The UK gov also state vaccinations aren't mandatory in a pandemic and the ethics and benefits of introducing a vaccine polkicy that includes some coercion, let alone mandatory introduction are higly questionable at best in the recent vaccine review: commonslibrary.parliament.uk...
a reply to: Edumakated
I'll be suprised if it isn't mandatory in the UK for air travel and major sport or music events but it's illegal for any employer to do that due to Article 8 or the Human Rights Act (Right to Private Life) and Equality Act in the UK (Right to Belief). Employers also have no right to know or be kept informed if staff chose to get vaccinated or not.

The Government is considering sending council staff to visit people who have refused an offer to get vaccinated, the minister responsible for the roll-out has suggested. Amid fears a sizeable proportion of the population are still sceptical of getting the Covid vaccine, those who have so far turned down the chance to get inoculated may soon get a knock on the door to find out why. Vaccines Minister Nadhim Zahawi told MPs he wanted to identify ‘at an individual level’ the people who still need to be reached, according to The Times. He said he wanted to then use councils to seek out those who had refused offers and see what might convince them.

What would you call local council staff visiting people who have refused the vaccine door to door, having placed them on a list and targeted them?
No register you say? Pfft.

I call it enforcement through coercion and intimidation - and I would not be surprised at all to see it actually turn into fines and then arrests for refusal.
You also ignored the main part of my post - announced today - which is, in effect, a prison sentence for people visiting this country even if they have tested negative.
There are no excuses at all for how far the Govt is pushing their draconian measures and 'laws'.
