There are legitimate arguments both pro and con. I tend to side with those who think that a healthy person under the age of 50 has such an insignificant risk from the virus that it is not worth being vaccinated.
Medical doctors will tell you that for any given action on the human body there are a number of people who will have a very adverse reaction. I saw some adverse reactions to vaccination day in the military.
This was understood from the outset of Operation Warp Speed and it was the main reason that manufacturers were given immunity from lawsuits for the emergency usage.
Sadly, it appears our elected leaders continue to cling to the one-sized fits all approach that prioritizes some groups over others with little thought to age and health condition.
I am happy that my parents received the vaccine. They are high risk.
I am waiting for the Johnson and Johnson vaccine. I am at lower risk.
My kids will NOT receive these vaccines and they can decide for themselves when they are adults.
With that being said, what is pissing me off more than anything is that we appear to be headed towards a Covid passport system where you have to be vaccinated for some travel or admission.
What I wrote above is rational and based on a fair assessment of risks vs reward. Our elected leaders have chosen the “one-sized fits all” approach for their own reasons.
Yes, we are definitely headed that way.
We won’t be able to fly or take any other common transportation without proof; probably not able to go to a restaurant, bar, the movies, etc., without proof of vaccination.
