Have you gotten the Vax?
I don’t expect an answer.
I've been very clear about this. No, I have not.
And I will not get a vaccine for a disease in which I personally face a 0.1% risk of mortality or serious adverse effect, particularly if that vaccine is manufactured by companies with lax historic safety records and who have no monetary incentive (civil liability) to get it right, and which use a manufacturing technology never before used in human history and for which there's no more than 9 months safety data on.
However, I fully support any high risk person getting vaccinated. And I also will get vaccinated myself if the preceding conditions change significantly (e.g. mortality rates increase exponentially, civil liability is restored, three years pass and safety data looks good, a protein subunit or inactivated virus vaccine becomes available, etc.).
So long as my tax dollars don’t pay your salary I’m fine with you making your choice.
Your percentage risk seems to be low given the limited data we have about your age in this forum.
