Are you going to take the vaccine?

[Dtris]

If you do not fear vaccination and would not get it on principle in order to protest, that is very much understandable. But then there is also altruism in taking it. If you do not fear it and you know how it protects for real, then the societal aspect should be part of your decision making in my opinion.

This aspect cannot be part of the decision for those who live in fear. They must protect themselves first and feel safe before other considerations.

Anyway, just a plea to those who can to include the health of your other-selves in your ponderings.

This has been pushed aside in this thread, but it should not be forgotten.

You are making the assumption that there is actually a significant health protection benefit, and that the long term health effects are known, which they are not. The health protection benefit itself is still debatable, especially with recent data coming out.

If you advocate for someone to take the vaccine and it causes an adverse event, or in the long term autoimmune disease, are those not health effects that should be included in your ponderings?
