The vaccine has been approved by the FDA. Hell, before the approval many took the vaccine and most who took came out just fine (myself included). What more proof do you need to convince you that the vaccine is safe?
That is good to hear that you are fine, and I'm honestly glad for everyone who comes out without too many complaints. The vaccines are probably safe, not arguing against that, just that I'd still like to decide for myself what medication I take and what not? Like I said, I'm just skeptical and nothing will be able to change my mind but time.

I'm sorry, I have no idea what you're on about. Of course that all means nothing without a vaccine, because the alternative is either doing that forever or just going for natural herd immunity by letting it mow through the population (which some parts of the US seem to have chosen). And I don't know what you mean by 'actively killing people when they decline the offer'...? Is that a new conspiracy thing?
then please go ahead. Feels real good.
Wait I thought you were
against shaming people lol
Yeah, you got me there, fair ^^
It is an emotional topic and I guess I'm not always as reasonable as I like to think, either. It was referencing the 'unvaccinated people are taking up valuable space in hospitals' argument. That kinda results in people dying and it's what unvaccinated people are being shamed for.
Regarding the other point, though: It did slow the spread, which vaccines alone still don't do. That gave us time to develop those and disperse them among the most vulnerable groups. What I'm arguing is that we should consider stopping now if the vaccines really are that safe. Those who needed them the most got them and are protected, right? So why push it further on everyone else when there are no more benefits to society as a whole?
They managed to raise an entire hospital in a very short amount of time, demonstrating what a country can do for her people if she really wants to. That was the focus. But yeah, maybe an authoritarian, communist country wasn't really the best suited example, good point.
