I have 3 weddings to go to this year, so I'm actually considering the vaccine. But, the lack of reliable information, ie not editorialized, fear mongering, etc, makes it harder to switch. I'm tired of every article being about the emotional impact, just show me the data.
What iformation sources do you trust?
The facts are very clear and depend a bit on how vaccinated the population is and the type of vaccine.
The UK has a higher rate of vaccinated people getting ill - but many have only one jab and the majority of people were vaccinated with Astra Zeneca.
In the US, well over 95% of the new cases are amongst those who are not vaccinated. The majority of the remaining 5% are those with some sort of significant pre-existing condition and over 50 years old.
Virtually no vaccinated person under 50 who gets sick ends up in hospital - at worst, they have severe flu symptoms for less than a week - that certainly beats being on a ventilator and ending up six feet under.
Please do your own research on places other than this forum. You can research sites in the UK, Germany, Austria and the US. I'll be happy to provide links if you like.
There are very few valid reports of significan adverse effects of getting vaccinated. Females under 50 may want to get Pfizer or Moderna although the adverse effects of the J&J aren't much higher than in the general population.
I've got no dog in this fight, but there are no downsides of getting vaccinated unless your doctor advises against it
for you.
