This may be either a sensitive topic for many or a polarizing one. I'm not trying to create controversy but the topic might just do that.
I don't know if you believe there's a giant conspiracy theory behind Covid-19, or if the opportunity was used by enough around the world in the most cynical way. Or if you believe the vaccines are not enough tested and we are guinea pigs. Or whatever other possibility there is, because human mind is very resourceful when it's rested. And governments made sure masses are well rested during this period.
I believe some of the above...
However, I am getting the vaccine shot (from Pfizer, if it matters). Got the first one three weeks ago and the second shot tomorrow.
Why have I decided to take it:
- I have regular contact with persons in the risk category (they get it too)
- I have regular contact with persons who work with public (they get it too)
- we had cases of Covid in our immediate and extended family, some with medium symptoms, and they are not a joke
- we have a close neighbor with near-death experience, without prior health issues
- I know enough persons either directly or indirectly who either died or were in very serious condition
What am I aiming with this vaccine shot?
- if it works(!), to obtain an initial level of training of the immune system which at least would prevent a serious form of the disease
- to avoid future discriminations which I'm sure will come based on whether you got or not the shot
Last time I didn't have any side effects worth mentioning. Wish me (us) luck!
How about you? Have you made up your mind or did you get vaccinated already?
