They don't trust that medical companies have their best interests at heart, and are motivated by profits. Making people sick is profit.
It really isn't so strange.
And if you google on vaccine side effects, you will find a lot of them. They are rare, but they happen, and when they do, there is no help to be had.
So why is it stupid to be careful? I think it makes sense.
It’s stupid because they don’t understand probability and risk assessment. Yeah there are side effects but they are exceedingly rare and even if you get them the outcomes are usually far less severe than the disease you’re trying to prevent. It’s like saying “I refuse to wear a seat belt because it might wrinkle my suit jacket.”
I think that's up to each person to decide. Similar to how it's rare to die in a flight crash and most people accept the risk, but not all.
Whats so complicated about probability? They know it's a low probably, but it's higher than zero, always.
Almost all people who didn't vaccinate against covid are still alive and well you know.
People take a risk either way. Taking the vaccine or not taking it.
Look, I can see where you're coming from even if I don't agree with you, however
This is a straight up lie. Where the fuck have you been the last 4 years? Many people died, and many of those who didn't have lasting issues.
