Just because I think it's wise to get vaccinated, doesn't mean I believe in Fauci or big pharma.( I don't even live in America, so why would I be listening to an American doctor?).

If you remove the media, big pharma, and all the other distractions, you simply need to consider two sets of data to make your decision: 1. Hospitalisation rates for catching COVID 2. Hospitalisation rates for getting the vaccine.

Hospitalisation rates for getting the vaccine are far lower than hospitalisation rates of getting COVID.

On top of that, catching COVID brings with it the risk of getting stuck with long-COVID (like two people I know).

It's actually quite a simple decision, when you ignore the noise.

If you think you can avoid ever coming into contact with COVID, then you could make a case for not getting the vaccine. But the way I see it, that's largely out of our control.
