I'm more skeptical of it since they seem to be anti-US. I'll see how others fare first

There's a difference between the imaginary "these aren't tested enough" argument and this real one.

In short, get out of here with that 98% bullshit.

That entire breakdown you stole from reddit shows the devastation that losing 1% would have on the economy. That's great but that's entirely not the argument. The question was what choice we would take if a vaccine from russia was available and my choice is to simply not take it and survive like 98% of the population had currently been doing.

Cool. So what's 2% of 328 million? And what of the "survivors" with lasting damage?

I'm not arguing against the knowledge that a major chunk of survivors have lasting damage dude.
When tf did I say that?
The question asks if youd take a russian vaccine. I would not. The current survival rate is like 98%.;

It's relevant. What is 2% of 328 million?

Hint: you can choose not to trust Russia AND not downplay the risk COVID-19 poses at the same time.

Are you drunk right now ?

My odds of survival without a vaccine are 98%+.
A Russian vaccine is also something I wouldn't risk.
That's my decision, your rhetoric about the economy doesnt change the question the TC asked.

I'm also not sure what your point is seeing as you're literally off topic

Ignore the parts about the economy that you seem so focused on, and focus instead on the numbers.

No one here is arguing that it's bad ? Whete tf are you getting the feeling that people are downplaying it ? I said 98%. To my knowledge that's pretty accurate on the global scale

The problem people have with the Russian vaccine is that Putin is promoting it as effective and ready when it hasnt gone through Phase 3 testing yet. AKA the large clinical trial where they test it on a large swath of people.

Why did you feel the need to point it out, then? It's too early to drink, but for you I might make an exception.

I pointed it out because it's part of my decision when weighing the 2 options posed by the OP? I'm not allowed to make a comment about the current death rate being a factor in my decision ?

Look, sorry for being harsh. A lot of assholes are using the survival percentage to deflect and minimize, I've been really tired of it and on a hair trigger lately.

that vaccine probably doesn't work well or not at all. maybe bad side effects if unlucky. there's reason they need to do trials :(.

But survival rate just means you dont die. You still get sick. You still end up with possible long term health problems like a hole in your heart or lung damage. You can survive but still end up with a shorter life expectancy. Survive does not mean free from harm.

But Putin is offering you virtual immunity. Do you take it?

No, I'm not going to be a ginnie pig in Putin's experimental vaccine that could cause who knows what.

And while I cant or wont speak for all simply not dying it good enough for me, and while a long life is nice It's ultimately dumb luck weather or not a person does regardless of their health or lifes choices.

So I'm not going to get or fear over it.
