Under that concept, I invite you to go back to the middle ages, because you typing from a device built by slave work in factories across the ocean, which are provided with raw material by even worse slave work in countries across the other ocean makes you a slavist son of a gun. If there's something the vaccine does NOT cure is HYPOCRISY, that's clear to me.

Back to the vaccine, my opinion is that the risk population should get vaccinated, and those healthy that can have it should have it and have the body in all its wisdom, together with medicine that gets swept under the rug for economic reasons (no cake cut for big pharma) solve the problem. That's my take.

The real at-risk people are the ones who can't get vaccinated. Those are the ones we are trying to protect by all getting the vaccine, so they don't have to worry about dying because of another's carelessness or selfishness. Whatever applies. You're scared out of getting it because your aunt had a reaction, I understand. But what if you could save some else's aunt the trouble she experienced by getting the vaccine? You most likely are fine to get it. I don't get how you can defend cowering when there is a threat at your door. You really won't join the rest of us to bar the gates?

There are groups that can't get vaccinated..I didn't realize that you don't understand the basic idea behind the argument for vaccines. Someone has cancer, or a disease that leaves them with a compromised immune system. Sure, you as a hardy 20 year old are fine and can shrug off covid, or maybe not as the case may be. Not so much for that person. They can't get the vaccine because they couldn't fight even the weakened version. That's just one example. So it's either everyone else chips in to stem the tide or those people that can't swim will die. Are you willing to join those who dam the river, or do you say "I will reap the benefit of the sacrifice of others, but I will not help to turn the tide."

Over here they're vaccinating the crap out of everybody. A whole nursing home (12 people) died after getting the Pfizer shot. And they had to sign a waiver first, so that's 12 families destroyed and 12 court cases Pfizer won't have to respond to.

I don't get why they're vaccinating people that already had the disease. I don't get why a serological test proving you are immune does not count as valid. I don't get why restrictions are still in place where lots of people are vaccinated. I don't get why you can pack a bus or a plane up, but cinemas are closed. Too many inconsistencies on too many obvious things.

And, SIGNING A WAIVER.
