#1 Everything comes with cost/benefits balance. Risks of vaccination have to be balanced against risks of Covid.

Also, one can't help wondering how many of the cheap demagogues agitating against covid vaccines are actually unvaccinated themselves.

#2 Life comes with no guarantees. That said, you can visit Vegas every year forever and never be required by the local government there, or your employer, to bet your life on 00 at the roulexxe wheel.

Just sayin, as a guy who got vaccinated, had no problems with it and am glad i did.

#5 I missed all my best chances to die unexpectedly on a bicycle or trying to make stuff blow up while I was still an adolescent...

#6 Ya I'm one of those agitators. Before I take any vaccine I would like to know the risks, I would like to know it went through full clinical trials. We have FDA approvals for a reason, Myocarditis to a heart patient is tough, but the profession is not looking at it, misdiagnosed as angina. We go down this road every once in a while here in America. Some new wonder drug get out without full approvals and has some significant long term effects on folks. The year I was born Thalidomide was rushed to market for mothers early in pregnancy. The birth defects were horrible. Then of course the flue vaccine in the late 70's that killed a bunch of folks before they could get it off the market. Then in the 90's they pumped the military full of the anthrax vaccine only to make people sick for a year. Of course DOD said it was all in our heads for years. So all of these have one thing in common with the COVID vaccine, none went through the full trials. This current vaccine has been out for months, and we are now finding heart issues? I'm not an agitator, I am also not a test group.

#7 Myocarditis and myositis have been known complications of viral infections for a very long time. Most of these cases come and go without any medical involvement, when affected patients recover on their own. Some cases of myocarditis can cause arrhythmias or dilated cardiomyopathy, which can kill. Some cases of myositis can result in kidney failure, which can also kill. These outcomes are very rare but get nearly all the publicity. It is too soon to know if myocarditis following the COVID vaccine will turn out to be significant or not.
