Current Events > If you refuse to get the vaccine, you are basically refusing to end the pandemic

(+) Yeah! (+)

I know some are wary of the vaccine, but there's really no reason to be.

The vaccine was rushed so I don't wanna take it.

It did come out fast, I'll give you that. But vaccines have been around a long time and the medical professionals know what they are doing. They followed guidelines and this vaccine is no different than getting the flu shot.

I want to wait and see how it affects others before taking it.

I can certainly understand. However, this has been through trials. People have already taken it and are fine. And honestly, most of us here won't be the first to get it. So by the time we get it, numerous more people will have already gotten it. Side effects usually take place in the first few weeks the vaccine is administered, not years down the line. You don't have to wait five years to make sure this is okay. If any side effects were likely, they would have shown themselves by now.

I am healthy and don't need the vaccine.

Just think of it as you helping yourself and others around you. You get the vaccine, you protect friends and family who have not yet received the vaccine, and those with medical conditions who cannot get the vaccine.

If everyone just sits around waiting for everyone else to get the shot, this pandemic will persist. There is no reason not to get the vaccine if you are medically able to do so. You are helping yourself as well as others. It has been proven safe and many will take it before you to give you even further peace of mind.
