To Vax or not to Vax that is the ? Death rates of covid varied a lot depending on your age bracket. If Vaxing didn't prevent you from contracting covid only lessened the severity of the infection why Vax unless necessary. The youth could deal with covid but the old and immunocompromized were subject to severe illness and death. Those are the subjects needing vaccination and isolation when sick while others should have been able to go on to normal activity. That's my take of the covid debacle. We way overreacted.
The point of vaccinating the masses goes beyond just protecting individuals. If it were simply about providing protection for each person only, then we humans could just say screw it, anybody who refuses to get vaccinated is on their own. Problem is, that's not how it works.
First, by mandating that ALL citizens get vaccinated, even those who are not really at risk from that specific viral threat, it greatly reduces the ability for that virus to spread and infect others. The fewer people who become infected, or heavily infected, the fewer opportunities that virus has to spread. By reducing the spread you also reduce the risk that those who ARE highly vulnerable become exposed, and therefore infected.
Furthermore, viruses mutate. The more people who become infected, the more opportunities that virus has to mutate, and therefore the higher the likelihood becomes that the current viral strain mutates into a new one that the current vaccines can NOT protect against. If that happens, it then results in every single individual who had been protected by the current vaccines, now no longer having any protection, or greatly reduced protection.
The reason Measles was all but eradicated, until recently that is, is because we had such a large percentage of the population vaccinated against it. Then, over the last 2 decades as some uneducated, inexperienced, poorly informed people began spreading lies and conspiracies that drove some communities to reject vaccines, suddenly it provided opportunities for Measles and other viruses to emerge once again.
In short, getting vaccinated isn't just about protecting yourself. It's about doing your part to protect EVERYBODY IN SOCIETY.
They’re right though. Also your data on covid and kids is wrong. And millions of people are still being debilitated by long covid (including kids and those young and in great shape).
