At the moment, I'm not pro or anti vax at all. Just very skeptical and luckily my age and health means I'm happy to see how things play out for a bit. Again, we are seeing ramifications from the virus, but nothing like over there.
I don't get why you want to get the vaccine but what would it take to convince you? I really want to know. Is the hesitancy religion? Politics? Ignorance? I could understand this mindset in say March of this year. But we have too much data about the efficacy of the vaccines so hopefully without chastising you, what is your reasoning ?
Honestly, I don't know. I've never been big on vaccines and even the flu shot I don't get each year, I feel it's useless for me.
I haven't followed the full thread but the last few pages I have and I can see all points, but with so many different viewpoints, it's going to be a never ending discussion.
The virus hasn't been anywhere near as devastating over here than the states. If you guys lived here, you'd probably understand why I don't have a strong viewpoint on it. I see what you guys are saying but can see points darkshade is trying to make also. I guess it hasn't impacted my life enough to warrant urgency in going and getting a jab.
What would make me change my mind? I guess, my job didn't get affected, I've been paid every since the start of the pandemic. I'm not a social guy so my outside life hasn't been affected. Me and the misses can't go away but that's about it. I haven't felt the harshness of this. In my line of work, I admit a lockdown here and there gave me a good breather. Selfish I know but I still get paid.
As I said I don't have strong viewpoints but I can see the way it's heading that vaccinations may be unavoidable. I'll look at all angles when I need to or when it affects me enough to really give a shit. I like the idea of our body using it's natural immunity towards things hence why I don't get the flu shot. But again, I'm not a total fucking wombat and can see the way it's heading. I fear when governments make the jab mandatory and what happens then with the people that refuse. Could be chaos. I won't be one of those people, I'm just undecided.
