The problem is that it is always offered as a binary choice. Vaccinated or not. Given the demographics of this country, and the co morbidities that lead to death being prevalent amongst much of the population, I would say that a significant portion of the population needs to be vaccinated. Perhaps even the majority. That is not the question at hand. The question is whether anyone will bother to recognize that naturally acquired immunity is a thing, and that is has value, quite possibly on par with vaccines, in deterring or reducing the effects of a Covid infection. That…is following the science. Proffering the only options as vaccination or sure death, which is how this is depicted by many including our ever reliable and trustworthy government is fear mongering.
Are you above the age of 60? You need to get vaccinated. 70 odd percent of all Covid deaths are concentrated in those age brackets. Do you have certain co morbidities, and are younger than 60? You need to get vaccinated. Are you one of the unicorns out there who has dodged Covid for 18 months, but don’t match up with the above conditions? You should think about getting the vaccine. Are you Covid recovered, under 60 and have none of the leading co morbidities? You’re fine, and should consider getting vaccination if naturally acquired immunity is shown to wane at a significantly faster rate than that of vaccination.
In the meantime, if you are in the latter group, you shouldn’t tolerate the denigration of anyone who thinks you’re crazy for wanting to see the long term side effects, or not, of these rapidly produced shots and medications.
And everyone should be suggesting a giant “Go F Yourself” to any persons or government entities trying to force vaccination, vaccination passports, Covid registries or any of that other fascist BS on anyone.
