That is your personal choice as we live in a "free" democracy. For the millions with cancer and other illnesses where the treatment weakens and/or destroys the immune system, their immune response to the vaccine is muted or non-existent. Therefore, they have little or no protection and rely on the majority of the population to have the vaccine to survive and minimise their risk of exposure. Opinions should not override science. Those healthy could show empathy and take the vaccine to protect those who can't, by allowing the population to reach herd immunity. I had the 1st dose of vaccine and luckily have had zero side effects. If we cannot trust the health system to try it's best to keep us healthy, we wouldn't receive any treatment for anything. I will not list the millions of lives saved from various diseases through vaccination, but just to see that vaccines have halved child mortality rates in 20 years is all the proof I need. The life expectancy that has risen so dramatically that in some areas of the globe it has doubled thanks to vaccines. Is your position based on all vaccines or just the Covid one? Whatever your reason I have filtered you as I don’t wish the share board to become a back and forth “science versus opinion”, but do feel strongly enough to respond and also as your social values not compatible with mine. I am not saying I am right and you are wrong, simply that I disagree with your choices and am also free to decide not to interact with you. As we are free to decide, your decision like mine comes with risks. I take the personal risks to myself as being minimal and the mitigation to those that need help and also to free us from this perpetual lockdown cycle worth that minimal risk.
