The real reason I got the vaccine is I planned to travel abroad and proof of vaccination was required at customs. I felt very borderline about the benefits vs risks of getting the vaccine. Im not 19 but definitely not 65 either. It was a real coin toss for me.
Anyway I was pro vaccine until the recent government mandates started rolling out. Also my own company required proof of vaccination despite the fact I work 100% remote. I had to take screenshots of the covid paperwork I have.
I think people need to be respected as free adults to make their own decisions to take it or not. If a 75 year old man decides not to vaccinate and he ends up getting COVID then it’s on him at this point. I also think it’s child abuse to force kids under 18 to get this. If was under 30 I probably would refuse it.
Anyway I’m not an anti vaxxer but I am becoming increasingly alarmed by how governments are forcing this.
But I heard a theory by Joe Rogan that vaccines actually HELP THE VIRUS MUTATE. Now that’s from joe Rogan who is no doctor and nutty at times. But he has a way of offering unique perspectives that no one else thought about. That’s why he’s famous and his podcast is popular.
Here is a Forbes article with a doctor refuting what rogan said. Forbes is mostly centrist so I trust them a lot more vs. a CNN or FOX article.
