The vast majority of vax takers have fallen for the Hegelian dialectic once again. Problem (covid), reaction (fear, submission, "save us from this KILLER virus") solution (take our magic vax that does NOT stop you from contracting said " virus", is experimental and may be more harmful than the "virus" itself). Then you have the virtue signalers who are "taking one for the team" to "do their part!" and finally the true sheep who would line up to jump off a fucking bridge if the news told them everyone else was doing it. I'm a staunch supporter of personal physical sovereignty so I support the decisions of these sheep to rush out and "take the jab!" but I also expect to be able to exercise my personal sovereignty by telling those that offer me this "miracle shot" no thanks, and kindly shove it up your ass. My body, my choice.

15% of people who contract COVID-19 get a serious case and require hospitalization, and likely have long-term damage to their lungs and other organs. A significant percentage of those die, especially if you're 65+.

Why do you think the effects of the vaccine are anything approaching that level of danger?

15% of people who contract COVID-19 get a serious case

That's ludicrously untrue. Not even CNN would try to say that with a straight face.

The spectrum of symptomatic infection ranges from mild to critical; most infections are not severe [4,24-29]. Specifically, in a report from the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention that included approximately 44,500 confirmed infections with an estimation of disease severity [30]:

●Mild disease (no or mild pneumonia) was reported in 81 percent.

Severe disease (eg, with dyspnea, hypoxia, or >50 percent lung involvement on imaging within 24 to 48 hours) was reported in 14 percent.

●Critical disease (eg, with respiratory failure, shock, or multiorgan dysfunction) was reported in 5 percent.

●The overall case fatality rate was 2.3 percent; no deaths were reported among noncritical cases.

It appears you have been greatly misled

According to the World Health Organization (WHO)

That organization has been thoroughly discredited. Information from the World Health Organization (WHO) is propaganda which is not credible. They're like the democrats of the medical world.

But note that you've also changed your claim to symptomatic infection from "people who contract COVID-19".

Information from the World Health Organization (WHO) is propaganda which is not credible.

A rare gem from the WHO... .

WHO (Accidentally) Confirms Covid is No More Dangerous Than Flu Head of Health Emergencies Program “best estimates” put IFR at 0.14%
