an under-studied, risky drug into my veins,
I know I mustn't take part in this kind of conversation, I mustn't, I really MUST NOT!
Oh, fudge it, after all...
Billions of people are now vaccinated. As far as I know, no one has died of the vaccine. See above for the number of deaths from covid, vaccinated or not.
One of my son (34 now...) got a first vaccine, but he caught the virus a few months later. A mild flu.
He thought he was immunized, but caught it again (new variant) : a very mild flu.
My mother lives in a residence for elderly people. All of those who refused the vaccine caught the virus, some of them died. A few of those who were vaccinated caught the virus, but none of them died.
Out of 70 people, of course you can't draw definite conclusions, but...
PS : in France, until 1970, the vaccine against smallpox was compulsory. At that time, it was done with a kind of "nib", that's why I have two round scars on my shoulder. Smallpox was eradicated in the 80s I think.
I am also vaccinated against polio, which was considered as eradicated in "developed countries", but I've just heard that new cases have been detected in the US and in the UK too. When I was a kid (in the 60s) I saw a man in a hospital that was treated for polio, I think he wouldn't have hesitated a second if he had had the opportunity to get the vaccine.
I'm 67, and I'm afraid other "risky drugs" circulated in my veins. At the moment, I'm trying to get rid of nicotine. I think the number of deaths from tobacco is a zillion times higher compared to the deaths from vaccines, including covid-vaccine.
Un fortunately, there's no vaccine against some "disorders".
And I'm very sceptical to the efficiency of praying.
Though sometimes I believe in Joe Pesci...
