Sure, this is easy. First, it lessens the odds of contracting it and transmitting it. Second, it lowers your chances of severe illness.Can anyone here explain why someone like me, a 29 year old male with a normal BMI and no comorbidities, needs a vaccine that doesn't even stop transmission for a virus that at it's worst is basically a bad flu for someone with my circumstances? I know it's trendy to point the finger at every unvaccinated individual as an "antivaxxer science denier", but a lot of us just don't see the point. It also doesn't help that the official Covid narrative had changed so much before the first does were even available that I simply don't trust the media and all their self-appointed experts. I'm an "essential" worker who's also never been tested, either, and I'm fine after two years of this.

Kelly Ernby had reportedly spoken out against vaccine mandates at a Turning Point USA rally shortly before she became ill.www.thedailybeast.com
sigh..another one
It doesn’t STOP it, but it reduces it. That answers your question.Not a sock puppet, and it's been stated before that the vaccine doesn't stop the spread and only somewhat reduces symptoms, which defeats the "selfishness" argument, since it's literally a personal choice at that point. Just look at all of the Omicron cases in fully vaccinated people.
Myocarditis is more likely as a side effect from COVID infection than it is from the shot so if your goal is to avoid it then clearly getting vaccinated is the answer.Edit: As a side note, how is it selfish to not take the shot if I feel the potential side effects for a younger male (myocarditis, muscle spasms, etc) are not worth it? I have no recourse if something in the shot fucks me up. Isn't it selfish to threaten people's livelihood for making a personal decision involving their health? Where's the concern for obese people or anyone else making unhealthy lifestyle choices using up hospital resources?
Apparently getting the flu is now something to be welcomed and enjoyed by folks like @Andro Boy. I mean when I was 29 that was what I was trying to do. People have really gone off the deep end.Sure, this is easy. First, it lessens the odds of contracting it and transmitting it. Second, it lowers your chances of severe illness.
And either way, it’s a free shot that is easy to get and imposes essentially no costs on you. Why wouldn’t you get it? As I’ve said before there are people against getting shots but they are generally six years old.
What part of the US has been in any sort of "lockdown" since spring 2020?
Macron really needs to stop being so divisive /SMacron isn't the covidiot, but the tweet is directed at them lol.
It is amazing how babyish some people are where they described having to get their restaurant food to go instead of eating it inside was a ‘lockdown’.Conservative media is still harping that things are "locked down" even when they aren't and never really were most places. Fox News does a lot of this and it's just utter nonsense.

Red Lobster? Just another out of touch elitist. The right is to dine inside of Cracker Barrel.Look the inalienable right to dine inside at Red Lobster is right there in the constitution. I don't make the rules.

I think that has almost nothing to do with our current constitutional crisis.And to think we are heading towards some sort of civil conflict or constitutional crisis over this.
First world problems apparently are bad enough to lead to civil war, I guess.
Except that the overlap between the people involved, both "leaders" and followers, is just about 100%.I think that has almost nothing to do with our current constitutional crisis.

I think that’s a symptom, not a cause.While not directly related some of the shenanigans at various state houses over COVID restrictions sort of presaged what happened in DC.
Omicron is also basically the flu at this point, which is basically how all viruses eventually evolve. The mass hysteria over Omicron is so transparent at this point, it makes no sense. There will always be a new variant or excuse to continue mandates and lockdowns. This is clearly not about a virus anymore, and I'm starting to question if it ever was.
Also, the vaccines still only target the original strain of the virus, and are less effective against the Delta and Omicron variants, so getting endless boosters isn't going to end this.

the point has been explained to you repeatedly. You are "not getting it" because you're monstrously stupid or selfish, both of which should be frowned upon if you are 29 years old as you claim.Nah, I just don't see the point. Most of my friends and acquaintances feel the same as me. As for a media bubble, I feel like there's a little projection there. Most people stuck in a media feedback loop seem to be the ones still absolutely terrified of Covid and still thinking it's March 2020. Unless you're referring to far right QANON media bubbles, which I don't associate with.
BWAHAHAHA Djokovic currently being blocked from entering Australia for tournament
Exactly. It really can't be emphasized enough. Literally any person who is not medically unable to get the vaccine who chooses not to is stupid.the point has been explained to you repeatedly.

Mostly if things are closed these days its just because too many workers are out sick with COVID for normal ops. I've got this happening in my business too.
