The thing about vaccines are, even if they dont work (and they probably dont at this point with delta) that the risk from them is so extraordinarily low that there is no reason not to get them.

You are at more risk of harm on your drive to the vaccine location than you actually are by getting the vaccine.

total worldwide death toll to date from the vaccine.... 5 people... 5 people out of over 400 million doses. I think the vaccine is useless but I still got vaccinated simply because there is no good argument not to.

@freemo getting the vax puts money in the pockets of pharma, an industry I want to see burned to the ground.

@Bajax Didnt cost me a penny to get vaxed and I dont even have health insurance right now.

@freemo bad faith argument-- they are being paid from somewhere, even if it's not you personally

@Bajax thats fair, but they are paid with grants prior to making the drugs. They get paid the same even if a large portion of the vaccine sits unused. So you arent contributing to them making money by being vaxed you are simply ensuring the drugs dont go to waste.

@freemo better argument, but I still hate them too much, and this is too brazenly corrupt, for me to endorse.

@Bajax As you wish, that is your right of course. At least for now (maybe not much longer aand that would be sad)
