I have no idea why this is controversial.
Group #1 = If you're scared of the virus, go get the vaccine. Done... you're now protected.
Group #2 = If you don't want the vaccine, for whatever reason, fine. You assume the risk.
The problem is, Group #1 for some dam reason feels like everyone should take it and they will continue to push it until it's mandatory. Why do you care what Group #2 does if you have the vaccine?
Man, I totally agree with you! If people don't want it because it's not been evaluated long-term, that sounds totally reasonable. No one should force them to get one.
I just have a problem with this deliberate misinformation campaign that's going on here. Seems like everyone has a PhD relative who's cryptic concerns we're hearing second hand.
You don't have to justify your reasons to not get it. That's all on you. Just don't spread misinformation to steer away people it could help.
