It won't be taken by everyone in the world. There are countless vaccines being developed. The two mRNA based ones were the quickest to fulfil the criteria of their phase three trials. The AstraZeneca/Oxford vaccine and Sputnik V are based on more conventional methods (adenovirus vector) for example.

Also: the implication of your statement about the "most fragile 1 percent" is that their lives are worth less than others. I cannot begin to describe the disgust I am feeling towards such an inhumane attitude.

"inhumane attitude" could also be a good qualifier for using the population as lab rats.

it's called a tradeof , and public policies is doing it all the time, including accepting people dying for the greater good of others. Otherwise we would have banned cars a long time ago.

So vaccine looks more dangerous to you than COVID, despite numbers showing that's not the case? 20 in 1000 dying from COVID-19 is somehow acceptable, but two in hundreds of thousands getting some allergic reaction is not? How does one even justify that logic?

[bsaul]

The problem is covid is short-term and part of a family of well-known and well-studied virus. Some vaccine can have very long-term consequences.

There is simply no way to correctly assess the risk, unless you think that ARN therapy is a known technique. Which it clearly isn't.

No one is forcing you to take the vaccine. What’s wrong with you?

Wait until countries decide to close their borders to people that haven't been vaccinated.

Most countries in asia already ask for a negative PCR test for tourists, and some (like malaysia) have been in lockdown for almost the whole year despite having had less than a thousand casualties in total.

I wouldn't be surprised if madness reaches another level very soon.
