I have every vaccine offered. So have my children. I have never in my life questioned it. I did this one. I don’t need it. It’s unnecessary. It doesn’t stop the spread it doesn’t stop transmission. Every person on twitter who is pathetically posting their positive tedious lateral flow tests are all vaccinated and boosted. I have had Covid. i Have had measles. Why would I then ask for a measles jab? The government has done a grand job of terrorising the nation and turning the vaccinated against the unvaccinated. Oh and FYI I have never taken a vaccine to protect anyone but me. If yours protects you that’s all you should be concerned about. It is not ethical to take a vaccine for anyone or anything else
this in itself is just such a good example of unresearched misinformation. Diseases, virus’s and bacteria mutate and change. Every year, flu vaccines are adapted to the new mutations. It doesn’t stop people catching flu and it doesn’t eradicate flu, but it reduces the possibility of hospitalisation and serious illness.
measles can be such a serious illness. If I can only ask one thing, educate yourself? Google the history of measles or something. Which, FYI has been around for thousands of years and killed millions of people in horrible deaths and took many years to tackle as science Wasn’t as advanced as it is now.
I don’t know if you do know, but feels right to tell you - one bout of Covid won’t protect you from ever having Covid again, or getting it seriously and the reason you aren’t catching measles again Is because so many people have had a vaccine now that it’s unlikely you will be exposed to it. Covid is still very new, so much higher chance you will be.
Your ethics mean your morals stand for not caring about anyone else but yourself. That doesn’t make it unethical for vaccines to protect others. It doesn’t work like that. You have your own ethics, and you have ethics for the good of society, usually decisions made by the organisation who governs society. This is also thousands of years old, it’s why we have law enforcement, laws, rules and courts.
You can opt out of being part of society, sure, but that doesn’t make the government unethical. You just don’t agree
The way I can explain this simply is, say you caught Covid version 2.1, many months ago, you will have had antibodies to that version, which over time wear off
Everyone who has had vaccines has had periods of immunity over the last year which keeps being topped up. Like oil in a car engine.
I’ve had 3 vaccines, so I didn’t catch any of the other versions because the vaccines were made before omicron version, which has different spike proteins. But I did catch omicron. I was sick, like a bad cold, because I had some immunity to some of the elements of the virus. I didn’t pass it to any of my family. Now I have some more immunity to omicron. This might not last forever, and new versions of virus and vaccine will be adapted. Every year, flu vaccines are adapted to the most common strains of flu. Flu is very old, been around a long time. It knows what it’s doing and we know a lot about it. COVID is new. We know less. We are learning more. Science tells us from experience of flu, to vaccinate and help the immunity of those more vulnerable. To protect vulnerable people, it is a good thing as a human being to do what you can to prevent harm to others, and having vaccines and wearing masks is one way you can do that.
you can also choose to just do what you want though and not care about anyone else’s life and that’s your choice. I don’t want friends like this though, or to be around these types of people so it’s going to be unfortunate that people may choose to shun you or have an opinion that you may be selfish. That’s ok too, our choice
