If people refuse the vaccine because they can’t see the obvious benefits then they ARE idiots! Hospital ICUs are full of them. I have no time for them.
Okay you are talking to an idiot here - by your definition.
You say the hospital ICUs are full of us idiots.
Really?
Give me your evidence to back this up?
Yes there have been a few high profile cases pushed by the media in which someone who does die stated they wished they had had been vaxed - but just how many are there really?
My decision not to have a C19 vaccine is not based on the belief vaccines are not good for you. It is clearly demonstrated that MOST vaccines are good for MOST people. I would NEVER advocate not having polio / small pox / MMR. They are very important.
My own personal decision on not to have the C19 vaccine is based on the same reasoning for not having the flu vaccine.
I have never had flu in 62 years and never had the flu vaccine either. However, I have worked with flu vax enthusiast colleagues who went on to catch the flu.
C19 is just another variation on colds and flu.
Therefore, my strategy is to deal with C19 in the same manner as flu and not have it.
In this thread people who have had it have reported side effects, I know of one former colleague on on having his second C19 vax developed vision problems. There is much speculation about heart issues arising from the C19 vaccine.
Further more I have poked two fingers up at all the rules and restrictions imposed by both England and Wales since March 2020 and I am still fit and healthy. Umpteen people have predicted my demise or serious illness because of my views but yet I am still here fit and healthy.
The final thing that made me decide to follow the path of rebellion rather than compliance were the figures which circulated in spring 2020 which made it quite clear the vast majority of us would not die of Covid let alone catch it.
On a personal basis I was much more seriously concerned a few years ago when Ebola looked as though it could turn into a pandemic. Now that really did look scary as survival rates were much, much lower.
Basically I have made an informed decision to react in the way I have. I am not stating it is right for everyone.
People have the right to do what is right for themselves, not their family, friends, neighbours or wider community.
They are not idiots for doing so.
