has been explained on here ad nauseum but you just won't accept and respect others' decisions because you've come to believe the rest of us are responsible to protect your health and that's by us getting the vax.
Regardless of the definition of 'vaccine' or gene therapy or whatever, the reality is the survival rate pre-vaccine for covid was above 99% for most age groups...even if I concede every one of the 500K+ reported deaths were actually FROM covid, that's still a very high survival rate, except for those who are over 60 and have co-morbidities.
So, in a risk analysis, if I'm not old, or obese, or have any other co-morbidity known (heart/obesity,etc), then there really isn't a need to take the covid vax, just as I haven't taken the flu vax in years.
That doesn't taken into account concerns about long term affects of the vax, or some of the other concerning data that isn't studied nor proven yet, but does raise eyebrows.
Also, there is growing data each day on therapeutics that help minimize symptoms if it's caught.
The bottom line is you believe yourself to be both morally and intellectually superior on this issue so you're not listening to the quite logical and understandable reasons people like me have so far decided not to get the covid vax.
