For real, should I even bother getting the vaccine?



Wow. 3 people of 160 million have suffered complications. Nice silver bullet. And from a totally unbiased source too.
The same people who obsess over a 99% survival rate will turn around and freak out about a vaccine with a 99.99% rate.
 
You have a greater chance of dying from covid than you have of dying from the vaccine. About the mutation part, here's what you should consider: if you are vaccinated and get a mutated variant that can beat the vaccine, you'll still have much lower chances of getting a more severe illness instead of getting no symptoms or symptoms similar to the common cold.
With that said, if you indeed do get adverse side effects from the vaccine, instead of sperging about it, go to your fucking doctor and report the side effects. If you want to be extra sure, getting tested for possible allergies is a smart idea, just so you're more informed.
Now, whether you should get vaxxed or not, it ultimately depends on many factors. If you like going to bars and wherever there are large groups of people, getting vaxxed is a good idea. If you are more of a hikikomori type of person you could skip the vax for now. Perhaps waiting for the vaccine to be refined further and adapted for new variants could also be a good idea. In any case, you should respect the epidemiologic measures in place where you live and take other even non enforced precautions.
If you have some medical conditions that would enable rona to spread your ass cheeks wide open, you should definitely get the vaccine.
 
Not getting the vaccine - COVID's not harmful enough on paper, there's not enough data on the vaccines, it's 100% being pushed for weird political reasons - but I'm getting in better shape, dropping weight, eating healthier just for general "it's a good idea" reasons.

I would love to see some data on what did a better job of protecting someone from COVID: getting vaccinated, or not being obese.
 
Vaccine is a red herring. For me it's the context surrounding it. Corporations seem to control the west by some means, our politicians are useless and never seem to change anything meaningful. I have never had an innate trust that the Big Bois of the world have our best interests at heart. For the same reason I do not trust the CCP I do not trust our own systems. There has never been a mass purge of western governments by other good politicians within them. Who killed JFK? That story was never solved and instead quickly hurried away. Google results are becoming more and more regulated, websites are changing their designs to make it harder for normal users to communicate with one another.

Corporations have expanded way past what would be considered monopolies, but nothing seems to get done. What is paralyzing our politicians in this way? Our money is worthless pieces of steel and paper/plastic, NObody talks to their neighbors. I could go on but my laptop is going to die

If our leaders of the world really wanted to be good leaders they would recognize that their behavior looks extremely (as the zoomers would put it) SUS and would do what they could to make the system more decentralized and open so the citizens can start trusting again. But they don't, they play everyone against everyone else and then expect you to trust them.

Not because I believe I am smarter or more correct than anyone else, I find the behaviour of the western governments suspicious and it's my right to find them this way. Until they gain it back it will stay that way. A democracy is meant to be comprised of the people, and not a network of wealthy individuals and broadcasting systems seemingly aimed to cause as much distress and disorder within the nation they are functionally to governing.

I am a Neet type who lives with parents, so I guess I am the Hikikomori type?
If that's true then it's literally in your rational interest to just not get the vaccine.

Not even kidding or being facetious. If your chances of catching COVID are minuscule, because they're contingent on the equally-minuscule amount of human contact you have bringing you into proximity with a coof-spreader, then you're just taking unnecessary risk by getting the vaccine (even if that risk is arguably small, it's still nonzero). And you can't be fired from a job you don't have, or ostracized from a community that you're not a part of. You do you, buddy.

What about my parents? They are both vaccinated.

Catching it from them. I mean that's why my father wants to get me vaccinated.
So just stay away from them if they're all covid-y. Actually probably try to limit the amount of time you interact with your birthing team in general, I'd say. Limit it to mainly tendies procurement.
