I’m glad some people on this thread have basic common civic sense. Vaccine hesitancy or saying only 35+ should take it ; these people are scum. They don’t understand the science and want to preach to the rest of us.
vaccines don’t prevent transmission! They prevent the viral load from getting out of hand. Variants occur when the viral load provides the virus a chance to mutate.
unvaccinated under 35 year olds could be asymptomatic with a viral load that is transmitted and allow the virus to incubate for a long time.
guess what, those under 35 year olds share the planet with their parents and grand parents and are bringing undue risk by allowing mutations to occur and infect their less fortunate elders. Get vaccinated with whatever is available and accessible
That is a load of bs.
If anything, being vaccinated does NOT dramatically affect or reduce transmission, which is why European countries with large % of vaccinated are steadily lurching towards lockdown.
And the reason covid is so contagious is because transmission occurs with low viral loads and lack of symptoms, and at a relatively early stage of infection.
Yes, it does help reduce the chance of serious illness and therefore recommended for those at risk.
But there is an unknown risk of side effects, which is precisely why the vaccine manufacturers will not accept liability. And hence why it makes no sense for a 20 year old with minimal risk to get it.
For the record, it never occurred to me not to get my daughter her vaccines, and I have taken the covid vaccine.
But I seriously think this pressure to force an unknown half drug half vaccine on everyone irrespective of risk is disgusting, and bordering on fascism.
