Not sure I see the problem, ( do see the logic).
I'm only speaking for myself.
Assuming:
The risk of mild side effects/illness are the same as Covid. It's a wash, little different than being willing to smoke, eat smoked meat etc. At the end of the day its a wash.
The risk of moderate side effects, are the same as Covid. I dont know about anyone else but permanent lung damage......It's a wash, little different than.......
I'd love anyone to show otherwise. So its pick your poison.
The risk of severe side effects. Its gets grey and to each their own. I'm guessing I'd survive Covid, but I'm getting up there, the risk of permanently being dead...My odds of having a "coronary event" are up there. Same thing, Im getting older and my Cholesterol could be better. To me, it's just part of life.
I imagine there are millions of Canadians in the same boat as I. If enough choose to get in line, well we've seriously ramped up the herd immunity engine. << This is what many proponents of herd immunity but are anti vax don't see. Even if I can still transmit the virus, if enough people step up, there are fewer, and fewer, and fewer that will get sick, and then one day we hit that sweet spot ( I forget where it is exactly).
No matter which way to look at it, pick your poison per se.
1 way, or one coloured pill brings us to herd immunity and the day we no longer need or scream for lockdowns and economic ruin. Which is gauranteed to be wide and deep and felt for years. Decades.
Mike re carding. But even there, if enough people get it and herd immunity is acheived much, much faster. Can they not be torn up?
That to me is the one real issue. And I'll be damned if I'm going to let any gov't strip the right to choose whats right for our own bodies ( think women and abortion)
