Which, at its core, is what this saga is about.
If we were facing runaway Ebola with a 80%+ fatality rate if you contract it, many would be lining up for it. But we're facing a pretty nasty virus with a 'low' fatality rate of about 0.4% if you get it, where 94% of those dying from it have at least one comorbidity.
Thus, letting others be the crash-test dummy for safety controls isn't an unwise move.
Yes, well I am 73 and have a few health issues, but I haven’t had the flu for several decades, and have never had a flu shot. So I will be continuing to avoid it and this new vax until more data is available.
