I have to laugh at this 'not in my body' argument when a lot of people making it are putting all sorts of stuff in their bodies which are very questionable: sucking down sugary drinks all day, eating junk and processed foods, even taking street drugs (who knows what in that).
Let's cut to the heart of it, this 'not in my body' argument is just a rationalisation for an oppositional personality trait.
Hey, I hate being told what to do, but I don't push it to the point where I refuse to do something which benefits me.
That's not the issue, it's that Republicans played down the dangers of Covid while playing up the dangers of the vaccines. It's okay to decide what goes in your body, it's not okay to lie to people to influence their decision what goes in their bodies.
Covid isn’t actually that dangerous for the vast majority of people. We have almost four years if data showing that.
The vaccines dangers are questionable. There are huge incentives to cover up any dangers and pharmaceutical companies and governments have a long history of covering up dangerous medial products and drugs.
For most populations, covid is not nearly as dangerous as what got pushed by the media. We have tons of actual data to back that. The median age of death from covid is higher than the average life expectancy of a human. Most healthy people under the age of like 70 will handle covid just fine. This is an absolute fact that downplays nothing.
There is nothing that isn't a fact about what I just said. I'm not downplaying anything. You are, in fact, overplaying the risks of covid. Which itself is a form of misinformation that somehow has been allowed to continue to circulate.
Sorry, but I think the person you are responding to is probably technically correct in this case. Many people formed their opinions about COVID during the early pandemic where there were lots of breathless articles about children dying,
COVID risk seems to be mostly related to other, known risk factors that are personalized.
This is supported by most current medical literature.
