What’s your answer to the question?
Which question? Blue Turtle’s original question?
It’s not an easy one. First consideration is what is the right thing to do and that’s easy, given no other considerations. No, do not allow yourself to be forced to take an experimental, unproven, potentially harmful (both short-term and long-term) shot. Easy peasy.
But we’ve got to feed the family. There is always the specter of having to do unethical things for a paycheck, and I’m guessing most of us have had to face that at some point in our careers. Also, having a bad reaction to the shot could make the supporting the family issue moot.
Plus, taking the shot gives tacit support to the whole weird vaccine/COVID/give-up-your-God-given-rights movement. The movement that is seeing people die of the shot and/or be disabled.
We aren’t able to calculate the risk of taking the shot or dying from the virus because the data has been deliberately obscured.
...so after lining that out, I can’t take the shot. Just doesn’t make sense, ethically or practically.
Jon, did you read the answer that you requested? Any comments?
