Most of these vaccines are 95+% effective.1. You get the vaccine, you can still catch Covid. So what's the point?
Just because some people continue to die in car accidents whilst wearing seatbelts it doesn't mean that seatbelts are useless and we shouldn't use them.
From a selfish perspective (lets say a quarter of your country catches this disease) this means a random person has a 25% chance of catching it. If they are vaccinated then they have only a 1.25% chance of catching it.
From a society perspective if the rate of spread (R nought) is 3 meaning that on average an infected person goes on to infect 3 others, this means that the amount of people in society infected increases and the disease runs rampant. If all the people get vaccinated, then the rate of spread drops well below 1 which means on average an infected person infects less that one other person, this means that the amount of people in society infected reduces and the disease goes away from society.
Think of it from a "pro-life" perspective.
Do something and save lives or do nothing and watch the death toll rise.
The vaccine makes it much less likely that you will catch the disease and spread it on. Same answer to point 1 above. If society gets the R nought down below 1 then this disease will fade away and society will go back to normal.2. You get the vaccine, you can still spread Covid. So what's the point?
Well over half a million people in USA have died from Covid-19 already and not everyone has caught the disease.3. You get the vaccine, and it may kill you.
If you vaccinate everyone in your country, how many do you think will die from the vaccine?
Getting vaccinated increases the chances of you living.
Millions of people have already been vaccinated.4. They have had no end of problems with the various types of vaccine produced by different manufacturers, which makes me extremely disinclined to be used as their guinea pig.
This is much larger than any pre-release sample that is usually done.
The question is, which is worse? The affects of the disease or the affects of the vaccine?
In the meantime a global pandemic runs rampant and is killing millions.5. It takes at least twelve years, on average, for a vaccine to be tested enough to be declared totally safe for use in human subjects.
In the first year of covid-19 2.6 million people have died. The contagion rate and the death rate was slow to begin with as this thing takes time to spread. If there were no vaccine we would expect the second year to have a much larger death rate than the first year.I'd prefer to wait a few years and see what comes of it.
Do you really want to wait 12 years before giving people a vaccine?
