All that said, I’m getting mine Monday. Wife signed us up. I figure the “science” so far says my chance of of any adverse effects of the vaccine are about .004%. I’d be an idiot to worry about the vaccine. Similar to my chances of dying from Covid. Ironic.
6.8 million doses of J&J administered. Six blood clot cases. At the current death rate per million of Covid, out of 6.8 million people, assuming all eventually got covid, at our present death rate of 1.8% that’s 122,000 dead. Yep I’ll take that vaccine every damn time. Oh. And in 1955 when the polio vaccine was rushed to market about 3 per million got vaccine-associated paralytic poliomyelitis. It was a good call to get vaccinated then too. So I’m sorry if “Science” and “numbers” aren’t a strength for cat fans but those are the facts.
What numbers aren't a strength? My chance of dying from Covid are almost zero. My chances of dying from the vaccine are almost zero. Seem similar to me.
Doesn't change the fact that is was a fast-tracked vaccine that is not yet FDA approved. For that reason alone I understand why people are hesitant. Personally, I couldn't care less. If I need to get a vaccine for a virus with almost a 99% survival rate to make others feel safe and get back to living so be it. I'll get sticked on Monday.
