So without being a snob and throwing insults towards groups or individuals who don’t agree with you..Are you getting vaccinated? Why/why not?

Update:

Again: don’t you use this question to attack other ideologies or people.....No insult throwing.....Just tell me if your getting vaccinated or not and explain why or why not.....Thank you for keeping it civil

    I don't know. I have no objections to getting the vaccine, but I don't feel any urgency to get it done, either.

    As soon as the vaccine becomes available in my area I'm going to get it I'm looking for the Johnson & Johnson vaccine. Because they say it has less side effects and I'm old I don't need side effects.  

    I'm old and I don't need to catch a virus that kills people

    I am getting vaccinated becouse by now, millions have gotten the shots and the issues have been well within the norm. Those issue, for myself at least, will be a lot less then if I get the virus. I had a respiratory back in 03/04, left me with enlarged and ruptured blood vessels in my lung, left me with enlarged lymph nodes, left me with a soft tissue tumor,  almost a year before I finally got back to somewhat normal.  I have a history of respiratory issues and sinus issues.

    I already got my second shot in January so I did get vaccinated.

    Way I see it, it’s better to get vaccinated than to not get vaccinated. Almost 500,000 Americans died from covid without the vaccine. So what’s there to lose by getting vaccinated. Worst outcome is that I die. Best outcome is that I’ll be protected for at least 6 months, if not more. The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are new technology so maybe it’ll succeed where the old technology failed. So far, it looks like it’s better than the old method. The flu vaccine loses its efficacy after 3-6 months. The 2 shot vaccines is still at over 90% efficacy after 6 months. The flu vaccine is a mixture of 3 different flus. The 2-shot vaccines seems to protect against other variants. It’s 100% effective against the South African strain, in a small sample size but it’s very promising.

    Got both already.  The thought of being intubated scares me.  And besides, my hubby insisted.

    Do you understand vaccinations? Vaccinations are not a cure, nor do they keep you from getting infected with the disease or from being a carrier. Vaccinations help you fight viral infections more effectively, sometimes. If the virus mutates, the vaccination may not help you at all, or it may not be as effective as it once was.

    I've seen several family members get vaccinated and they all got somewhat ill. Which is how a vaccination is supposed to work, BUT, I'm not convinced that their dosages were worth the trouble yet.

    So, I'm going to wait for more results data to come in before I jump in the pool. I may not get vaccinated at all, as I rarely get sick from viral infections. I have two children and a wife that used to get colds and flu infections all the time and I would never get sick. So, it's still up in the air for me.

    Of course I am. Because vaccines are proven to work and I don't want to get sick.

    No and I'll go where I please as well, because I already survived covid
