    I think you just have an education problem around it. What do you think the chance of side effects from a vaccine is, versus your chance of getting the disease? Be specific.

    The most selfish thing is to get the vaccine. Depends on the disease but your chance of “side effect” from no vaccine is at least 1000x more than getting it.

    Do you also never exercise because you’re afraid of injury? Do you never eat vegetables because they could be poisoned? Do you never sleep because you’re worried about being murdered in your sleep?

      If the chance of side effects are higher than zero, its not worth it for me. I dont even eat headache pills.

      I exercise all the time in a gym. The difference between tearing down my muscles and letting the body rebuild them stronger, and vaccinating your body by injecting a vaccine into your bloodstream, is huge. Its not even comparible.

      I eat veggies but try to pick ones without poison spray, like anyone else i assume?

      Sleeping and being murdered… Lol. That education you talk about, maybe you need some of that yourself here. :)

        So you agree, the chance of side effects from taking no vaccine is not zero, therefore everyone should get a vaccine. Correct?

        You should stop working out, the risk of injury is non-zero, correct?

        Your risk of poison from veggies is non-zero, you should stop eating them. Correct?

        Your risk of being murdered while walking out of the door is non-zero, you should board yourself in. Correct?

        Why are you only focusing on the risk of vaccine side effect which is 100x smaller than these other risks? You didn’t answer my question about relative risk so yours is bad faith response.

        2+2=4, can we agree on that? I’m assuming you don’t.

          I dont see consequences from the virus as a side effect. I only use the word side effect as something that comes from the vaccine, not the virus.

          The rest of your comment seems to say that we should never do anything positive if it has any negative effects. Obviously you are trying to make a point but I dont think it makes sense. If i get tired from exercise, obviously its still worth doing. It has no long term negative effects or any significant risks.

          The side effects of vaccines are quite dangerous. Its not like getting tired after exercise. We are talking life altering side effects that may mean you cant even function normally. But you know this already so im not sure why you pretend (i assume) to not understand. The logic here is very simple.

          You can call me selfish all you want, but your examples of why people should vaccinate despite their side effects are a bit funny. They dont even make sense. :)

            There are virtually no negative side effects of vaccines. That claim is pants on fire false, you must provide evidence of it or your argument is bad faith. Since your reading comprehension skills are ~6-8th grade I find it unlikely you will be able to continue this conversation coherently.

            “They dont even make sense.” your lack of logical comprehension is abjectly clear to any other person and unconvincing.

                Certainly thinking critically is one of those things as well. Enjoy your bliss (ignorance).
