I'll bite since I seem to be the only rationale person here.
1.) Yes, there is a chance of acquiring covid when vaccinated. The chance of getting covid when vaccinated is CONSIDERABLY lower than unvaccinated. It decreases this chance by 91%. Also, it decreases covid hospitalization by 60-96%. And decreases covid death by 70%. (

2.) Yes, there is a chance of transmitting covid when vaccinated. The chance of spreading covid when vaccinated is CONSIDERABLY lower than unvaccinated. It decreases this chance from 30% to 11%. (
Study ties COVID vaccines to lower transmission rates)
3.) Short term: sore arm, feel miserable for a 2-3 days. Low risk for Long term: none noted so far (
Information about the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine)
What we're seeing right now, is that unvaccinated people have high viral loads and are interacting with vaccinated people. The vaccinated people's immune system gets overwhelmed by the high viral transmission/contagiousness of those unvaccinated. We won't see appreciable reductions in covid cases without some sort of mitigation strategy. Left unchecked, covid will continue to mutate and get more deadly. The only reason we're not totally screwed is that we have over 50% vaccination rate.
I have few questions for this anti-covid vax
1.) Have you ever been vaccinated before?
2.) Do you wear a helmet when you ride?
3.) Do you challenge other vaccines?
4.) What are the
scientific downside to taking the covid vaccine?
And for those that are anti-mask
1.) Do you sneeze/cough without covering your mouth?
2.) Would you have unprotected ... if you know that there's a high risk for acquiring an STD?
3.) Do you wear a helmet when you ride?
4. What are the
scientific downsides to wearing a mask?
Sources would be appreciated.
