Well it IS Yahoo news.
I generally go there to see if Taylor Swift is a lesbian yet, or see the latest Liz Hurley bikini pic.

Welp, I work in emergency services, and I refuse simply based on evidence based medicine, and how the vaccine is antithetical to that. Its politics based medicine, and thusly, no thanks.

You got your jab so you are protected. Wait, you're not? So the vaccine will not protect you? Sounds like we're both in the same boat, only difference being that you've got unproven experimental nanotech swimming around in your bloodstream. Good luck with that.

Like they're Spanish and you don't speak Spanish, i.e. loudly and slowly in English.

My daughter was all over me to get vaccinated.
"I can't yet, I checked."
"Get on the list!"
"There isn't one."
I showed her. Signed up the morning my age group qualified. First shot 4 days later.
Her grandparents were good a couple of months ago. She's working on her mom now (different household).

How does a person getting vaxxed protect others?
If I'm vaxxed, I can still contract it and spread it, so how am I any safer for others?
If vaxxing means those around me are now safe, why the continued masks, mandates and social distancing? Should only unvaxxed people continue to do so? But why? They told us wearing masks was to protect others, not ourselves. Now we're told to get the vax to protect others? Do people get the flu vax to protect others?
And if a person has been vaxxed, why does it make a whit of difference to them if I'm vaxxed? I mean, I'm the one at risk, by my own choice. Same for folks who smoke, eat like sh*t, drink themselves into a stupor, and so on.
All I am hearing is that the vax only lessens symptoms IF you get covid.
Statistically speaking, the odds are that if I contract covid, my case would be mild. But perhaps not.
Statistically speaking, the odds are that if I am vaxxed, I would most likely be fine and unaffected. But perhaps not.
May the odds be ever in my favor.
I abhor the "you're a selfish a**hole if you don't _____________" arguments, especially when I can't make sense of the "rules."
