@selah71 OK tell me what the long term adverse effects are for some of these vaccines…or how about how long they provide protection… that’s right you can’t because these vaccines are NEW. I’ve got no doubt that the vaccines work in the short term preventing hospitalisation, but I’m happy to exercise social distancing and avoid people until we get a better understanding of the limitations and adverse effects. Not all people can avoid contact with others like I can , but each to their own.

Elizabeth Riddle I don't subscribe to the get vaccinated to protect others line. People have a responsibility to protect themselves and nearly everyone has the opportunity to get a free vaccination. Also data coming from Israel shows that virus transmission prevention fades very quickly with people who were fully vaccinated . For instance people who got vaccinated January now only have 16% reduction in virus transmission. As I've said each to their own , some of us are capable of a lifestyle where we can isolate from people so vaccination is not really necessary. So we can afford to wait and see how things pan out before considering the vaccination option.

The mechanism of the vaccine may have been studied for some time but the application against Covid hasn't . That's why we are finding out about adverse effects like brain clots, and swelling around the heart issues now.

@jonasp6043 now show the studies where the majority of people who get covid are asymptotic or have mild symptoms. The bottom line is vaccination is a personal choice and I don’t care either way what others do

@selah71 are you serious? We cannot know what the long term adverse effects are because this vaccine has only been around for under a year( with AstraZeneca we knew nothing of the cerebral clots until they started presenting themselves and with Pfizer we new nothing of swelling around the heart until it started occurring ) . As far as how long immunity lasts for , we have no way of knowing that until we collect data on it and the 3 years you plucked out of the air is pure fantasy given the variants that we have had and future variants we have not yet experienced. As far as avoiding contracting covid You don’t have to live like a hermit you fool, you just have to have the means and ability to socially distance yourself from others
