And then when you die in 50 years after a long and healthy life: "I told you so!"
Everyone who got the vaccine will eventually die. Checkmate vaxxers!!
Meanwhile virtually every possible (and infrequent) side-effect of the vaccine is also a possible (and frequent) side-effect of COVID.
Like, cardiac issues are possible, very rare side effects of the vaccine. Cardiac issues are common side effects of getting COVID. So, even if you're really worried about one specific side-effect of the vaccine like pulmonary embolism -- guess what, you're much more likely to have one if you don't get the vaccine because then you're much more likely to get it as a COVID side-effect.
I think I'd survive covid decently but the long covid some people ended up with sounds horrifying. Like the people that have had their sense of taste all fucky for years. I love food too much to take that risk. Also, I'd never forgive myself if I found out I carried it around and potentially gave it to others that might not survive it. A few little shots and a little mask are really nothing compared to potentially killing someone's memaw. It takes so little effort to just not catch it or spread it around people are ridiculous.
