To me that’s dangerous and irresponsible.
Perhaps, but nothing is ever certain when it comes to vaccines.
This is about a balance, of driving the much misunderstood “R rate” so loved by politicians below that 1.0 level where the virus gets pushed toward extinction, of achieving a level of “herd immunity” that allows us to be rid of this nemesis.
Remember the quoted efficacy levels of the vaccines we know about so far (94.5% Moderna, 90% Pfizer, 70ish in a good day% Oxford), and work out how many need to have immunity before that herd immunity drives the virus toward extinction (a guestimate of 40-70%, expect around 60%).
This is like the face mask issue, you wear a mask to stop you spreading COVID-19 that you may have but you don’t yet know that you have. It’s about protecting the rest of the population & a public health issue rather than a “human rights” issue.
Oh, & I’m sure a few people will die from adverse reactions to these vaccines, that is all part of weighing up the risks & coming to a decision to protect the vast majority of the population, if the death rate of adverse reaction is less than 1 in a million then we will be fortunate to have such safe vaccines.
The original “swine flu” vaccine incident back in 1976 was 53 deaths out of 45 million vaccinated, and one Guillain-Barré syndrome case per 100,000 persons vaccinated.
For COVID-19 the risk of death is 1.3% (higher levels for the aged, far less risky for the young) so I’m definitely going to have the vaccination. 1 in a million vs 1 in 70, sorry, no contest when it comes to taking risks.
