That doesn't mean that everyone who gets vaccinated won't have a side effect, or that everyone who isn't vaccinated will suffer be injured by Covid, but it does mean that, on average, you are far better to be vaccinated than unvaccinated.
If you're in an at-risk group, yes. But you don't need to be vaccinated if you're under-60 and healthy, because the vaccines only protect you, not anyone else as you can still pass it on. So the whole period with vaccine passports and other nonsense was stupid, harmed the cause of getting people vaccinated and led to increased scepticism of vaccines in general.
Some people have been driven insane by Covid, and if you even mention the fact you didn't get the vaccine for perfectly sound health reasons, you're labelled as an anti-vaxx loon.
Nobody understands nuance anymore. In any kind of debate.
Ah yes "Long Covid", or "post-viral syndrome" as we used to call it. The chances of it happening are very slim and could happen with any cold or flu virus you catch, but let's pretend it's something new.
And ignore that it's massively overblown, and led by people who think having a headache one day, two months after having Covid is evidence that they've got "Long Covid".
How do you know that? I've had Covid twice and it was nothing like the symptoms you're describing there.
None of us know how Covid would affect us. But in 99% (probably more than that) of us, it's no worse than a cold or mild flu. Automatically thinking that you're going to end up in hospital is silly.
This was the reason I didn't get vaccinated. I already have myocarditis, and someone I know had the same and his condition was made noticeably worse after.
The instance I'm on got updated to 4.2 yesterday, but the new search still isn't working for me.
Usually, I'd have thought this was because it needed to take time to index all the posts, but people on other servers are saying that the search is working for them. 🤔
Look, it wouldn't surprise me if these allegations were true given the kind of person he is and his past behaviour.
But I'll just bring up the example of Kevin Spacey. A man whose career was thrown in the bin over allegations that were untrue. Obviously, we don't learn anything at all.
