Vaccines are supposed to be available for public use but only after years of study and trials. A typical vaccine will undergo at least 5, 10 or even 15 years of testing. Common vaccines such as for polio, measles, mumps, etc. have been used for over 40 years. But governments expect that people will take a vaccine that has been rushed to market in less than a year, and has not been studied and proven over a long period of time.

We are expected to take an unknown risk on a vaccine for an illness that has a 99%+ recovery rate for those under 70, and a 95% recovery rate for those 70 and over.

The illness coronavirus and the attendant vaccine have been hyper-politicized, with those who question or doubt the current left-wing narrative on masks, lockdowns, and vaccines being told that they are anti-science, haters, resisting progress, etc.

I'm willing to take my chances without the vaccine for now. I want to give it at least 3-5 years. Let's see what happens with new strains/variants. Will they rush millions of people to take a vaccine every time a new variant appears?

The vaccine is currently being offered by 3 or 4 pharmas. But at the moment, you're not allowed to choose which vaccine you get. You just show up and you get whatever is available. So you can't control what kind of vaccine you are getting. This increases risk.

I don't want to be the guy 5-10 years from now calling 1-800-LAWYERS in response to an ad for a class action lawsuit on TV, because I took the vaccine and became ill or crippled as a result.
