long term effects:
What is it with those? As if we always decide on everything after thoroughly considering them. Do we start a relationship after 10 years studying its long term effects? Do we book holidays only where we've been a thousand times before? Do we buy an album only after listening to it for 5 years?
What I mean to say is: This pandemic and the vaccination is a new thing – "zäsur" – which we are obviously challenged with mentally. We try to apply a logic behaviour and critical thinking on it which funnily enough we don't do on everything else because those everything else things we just do without second guessing due to life experiences. They're "normal".
Also, haven't we been vaccinated against tons of sicknesses as kids? Did they ask us if we wanted that? Raped our personal freedom and integrity? Are we sad we missed a chance to get tuberculosis? Those in the past who were the first to be vaccinated without long term studies, do we salute them or laugh at their naivité?
well yes, I think it should. Because it's not a personal choice. Abortion for example is one. Or suicide. Everyone must be free to choose there. But vaccination is a community thing. Like getting a license to drive through traffic where there's people roaming around, which no one is disagreeing on, strangely enough.
Another thing I've been wondering about:
How much of this vaccination denial (or doubt) thing comes from irrational fear of needles? Not sure, just wondering, mind! A traumatic, forceful penetration of the body. So it's less about choice and personal freedom, but more of an irrational self defense reaction thingy happening based on evolution going back to our cavemen vs sabre tooth tiger heritage? What if vaccination could be done by a nice minty smelling cream applied to our elbows once every 24 years? Would it be the same drama? Don't know, just wondering…
Non-binary thinking doesn't always lead to good things per se. If we thought otherwise, we'd think binarily.
But dammit, yet another thought just came:
If we are talking about lack of long term studies and therefore hesitating to get vaccinated: There's the idea of a class division, vaccinated and non-vaccinated folks. They both can go about their day the way they choose to live, right? But we don't have long term studies which prove that vaccinated people are safe from gathering with non-vaccinated. Soooo…. isn't it the duty of everyone getting vaccinated?
(yes I'm aware I somewhat contradict myself to my former post about decision-making based on long term studies, but hey, non-binary ftw!
)
@fuzzrules – The long term effect from death by Covid-19 is pretty clear – and permanent. The long term effect of vaccination is Motorpsycho concerts in the future again.
Make your choice.
@ThorEgil. That you, as an intelligent human being don‘t know it
@conscience – If you want to play riddles you can go somewhere else. And stuff your antivaxxer fantasies up your ass while you go.
