Just found out an aunt of mine recently had the vaccine shot. I'm very concerned for her safety, even though she told me that she's been feeling fine. I dread the day when taking the vaccine becomes mandatory.
The vaccine is worth if you're old and unhealthy. Who cares if you get an autoimmune disorder in 10 years because you'll probably be dead anyways and if not chances are you immune system is shit at that age anyways.===
Today, I saw someone cite the following AARP article about getting vaccinated:

What to Know About Getting the COVID-19 Vaccine
Now that several COVID-19 vaccines are available, here's what you need to know about how to get them, and why access for older adults is key.www.aarp.org

TL;DR - People that are vaccinated may still get sick with COVID and spread it to others.
This raises the question of why people should get vaccinated and take the chance with both known and unknown risks/side effects if it won't stop them from catching or even spreading COVID?![]()
Simply put the >0.1% chance of serious side effects and ???% chance of long-term side-effects is worth it if you are old and/or fat and facing a 5-15% chance of dying from the coof.
Now for younger, healthy people - especially those of us who already had COVID - the risk vs reward of a rushed drug, most certainly the ones with what is essentially a prototype methodology, is much more dubious.
