Well, I don't recall being forced to take a SARS, MERS or h1n1 vaccine and those were pandemics too. (I was still in Asia at the time of those outbreaks and it was pretty bad too). Im no expert but the vaccines you're referring to are tried and true, not experimental (although I think I read a headline that the Pfizer one was recently approved) and the vaccines you're talking about were made from antibodies from recovered people. So why isn't that true now? Why does the gov't making people who have recovered from covid get the vaccine? Even against many doctors opinions? Someone told me 2 high level CDC Officials have resigned over this Covid vaccinations policy as did the Chairman of my local gov't physicians advisory board. Anyways,
let me ask you this then: If your doctor, someone who knows your medical history advised you not to get vaccinated especially with a particular one (due to reasonable "underlying conditions" and advised that you don't need to since you have antibodies already, PLUS the attending physicians in the quarantine "hospitals" PLUS the federal contact tracing investigators advised that vaccination is not needed, would you still get vaccinated? Would you peer pressure anyone to get vaccinated (if they fit this scenario)?
I'm not saying everyone fits this scenario, I'm just saying the "take one for the team even if the chances of it killing you are higher than the avg person" mentality is unreasonable. Actually, I'd prefer that the vax kill me than to leave me with some other issue requiring a mountain of medical bills and a diminished way of life. Thankfully, I survived AND without being hospitalized, it was just painful haha.
Not trying to pick a fight or anything, you don't even have to answer. I'm just trying to understand why also. maybe I should have led with that, haha. Stay safe, my friend.
