Not Anti-Vax...so Lets Just Get That One Out Of The Way

[nailit]

Just havnt had it yet.
Genuinely a bit worried about the long term affects of an experimental gene therapy that isnt even a vax in any sense of the word?
Leaving aside people dying from blood clots or whatever, why would I want to pump something into my body thats untested long-term?

Then don’t,TL, your choice

Personal choice Nailit.

Risk assessment. The chances of catching and dying of Covid are, at the very least, significantly greater than the chances of anything going wrong with the vaccine. I'm not sure of enough of your details (and please don't feel any need to enlighten me) to estimate with any accuracy your own personal risk from Covid, but it's more or less immaterial to the statement above.

I'd encourage you also to get the vaccine as the more people who have it, the harder it is for Covid as a whole to spread so far. The impact of vaccinations on disease spread is tricky to estimate, too, but it's clear from the data that the present surge was driven firstly by young people (who were at the back of the queue for vaccines), rather than distributed evenly by age, which is consistent with the idea that vaccinations have at least some positive impact on hampering the spread of the disease.

Your choice, mate.

//Your choice, mate.//

[Bobbisox1]

It’s a simple , Yes I’ll have it or No I won’t , maybe you’re thinking too deeply TL ?

[tonyav]

''what makes you think that AB'ers can inform you.''
Fair point, but was just trying to get a range of opinions.

Nailt, no one on here can either persuade you or dissuade you, it has to be your decision

There is no gene therapy involved.

Why do you think the jag is not a vaccine, "in any sense of the word?"?

[nailit]

Thanks for the link Corby.
Im just looking into this stuff.

[anneasquith]

You don’t need to go over all this again. You don’t trust a vaccine that millions of people have had. Your choice .

[nailit]

anneasquithe,
why do you bother replying? Seriously?
Are you some kind of stalker? Its freaky! Weird!

[anneasquith]

Lol. You are calling ME weird . Have a drink .

[jourdain2]

It is your choice. Some of us have had such bad reactions that they will not receive boosters (O.H. is one). I am now very wary of having a booster. It really is up to you. I don't believe in discriminating against people just because they haven't 'been jabbed'. You know your medical history and how you feel.

[Peter Pedant]

er the informed choice is to have it

over a billion

I hadnt realised that there are whole areas vaccine free (Newham - terrible slum- running at 30% - they all have a death wish)
