Convince me to get the vaccine

I understand reasonable misgivings but consider the following.

It probably does prevent infection (ie "eliminate symptoms") in most people.

It probably does (for many. perhaps most) eliminate the risk of asymptomatic transmission to family, grandma, etc.

40%+ of people in Brazil ICUs for Covid are under 40.

No significant risk of adverse meaningful events.

Doesn’t eliminate asymptomatic transmission, but probably reduces it by 90 % or more.

Here's a good reason. It's so you can do this with your vaccine card:

Your parents and public school failed you.

It's such a total nothing, just get the shot, no big deal at all, a,......nothing.

Watching people making a big deal over this, why?

Get it. It’s safe, you’ll be fine.

Or don’t get it. You’re young. If you get COVID, you’ll be fine.

You can’t make a wrong decision here.

Young people who gamble on their youth protecting them still end up increasing the spread of covid more than someone who had been vaccinated. I think it is more socially responsible and safer to get your shots and have faster recovery from any covid virus inhalation -, and avoid spreading it amongst others during a slower natural response.

I didn’t read your entire post but I don’t care whether you get the vaccine. Once the vaccine is available to all I am accepting of any fool who dies from Covid going forward.

It’s I Told You So from here on out.

It does significantly reduce transmission. Covid has been rough AF for plenty of healthy people I know aged 20-30 . I ran a half PR 5 days after my vaccine and its bad ass knowing I'm far less likely to get covid.

I can't see any reason why you wouldn't get it.

Ok I did feel bad for a day after my first vaccine, but that was one day. Whatever.

I don’t know a single person who contracted Covid.

I sincerely doubt that you know “plenty” of 20-30 year olds who know only contracted it, but had a very “rough” time with it. Total BS.

It’s the lies like this, and the hypocritical virtue signaling from Democrats that make me not inclined to get it.

"You're a worthless specimen just like all the other sheep and we pretend to care about your health so you comply with our agenda.." Sincerely, the leaders of your country.

Lol what

I'm a medical student in the UK. That's ridiculous you think I'm lying 😂

If you don't know a single person who has had covid, when about 25% of the US (that's a guess I don't know the actual statistic) has had it: then that says a lot more about you than it does about me and whether or not I'm lying.

I don't own a mask. I have never had a COVID test.......

I won't get the vaccine unless my company forces me to....

I have had COVID..............the FLU was worse......

Why would anybody here care what you do? Stop looking for attention.

Getting the vaccine is safe and helps on a personal level and on a societal level. You are less likely to get covid if vaccinated and less likely to get severe disease or die if you do contract covid after being vaccinated.

In addition, are you sick of wearing masks and being told to social distance? Then get vaccinated. If the majority of people get the vaccine , the virus will run out of hosts and become much less prevalent . The virus can’t survive without a host, it is simple as that.

IMO it is everyone’s obligation as a social being to be vaccinated .

Here is a great link on covid vaccines in a podcast I recently came upon. It is directed to both physicians and the general public and well worth the hour it takes to listen to, esp. if you are on the fence.

You're overstating the Trump origins. Yes, he wanted a vaccine, but so did everyone. It's been exhaustively studied and the risks of it are so minute as you can see the FDA freaking out over 6 people out of 7 million getting blood clotting, all with comorbidities. Unless you are an 18-49 woman with comorbidities, I wouldn't be worried about that. Even if you are, COVID is knocking you down for the count pretty hard anyway and you're better off getting the vaccine than going about your life.

Here's why you get it:

-Lowers your chance of getting by either 70+% (JNJ) or 90+% (Pfizer and Moderna)

-Effectively eliminates risk of a real case or hospitalization/death if you get it

-Dramatically lowers chance you are a spreader

- If enough people follow suit, population will reach herd immunity and we can stop having to wear masks, limit attendance etc.

If you'd rather just "catch the damn thing," just know the chances of actually having a crappy outcome are way higher than the vaccine. Also you could spread it unknowingly to people who don't have your immune system. If you become a super-spreader thanks for effectively causing a string of public health measures where you live, and potentially helping create new variants that could set everything back.

How do you reduce 0%?
