@ldexterldesign To reduce the severity of a potential infection

@Gargron well, at least you're not deluded enough to be getting injected on behalf of someone else. FYI looking after yourself is eating, sleeping and moving properly not drugs.

Eugen Rochko

@ldexterldesign Eating, sleeping, and moving properly does not fix most viral and bacterial ailments (to speak nothing of autoimmune and genetic diseases). The natural human response to getting sick is to die, which is exactly what our ancestors did before they had drugs. Am I to assume you've never had a tetanus shot either? If you poke your foot on a rusty nail what do you intend to do, just die?

@Gargron @ldexterldesign it wouldn't let me redraft...

I tried to say dying doesn't sound too bad with all that's been going on the last 10-20 years

@Gargron @ldexterldesign Did you seriously compare a respiratory illness with a 0.1% IFR with tetanus ? 🤔

Eugen Rochko

@jpages @ldexterldesign Mortality rate is just one side of the coin (and the mortality rate is higher than your chance to die in a car accident, do you protest putting on seatbelts?), there are long-term effects on quality of life of even asymptomatic Covid, why the fuck would you risk running out of breath for the rest of your life instead of taking a simple precaution?

Jérémy Pagès

@Gargron @ldexterldesign This answer is plain wrong and totally absurd, sorry. "My probability, to die in a car accident as a healthy and thin 36-year old is much higher than my probability to die from covid (about 1 in 100000).

And vaccines have serious side effects. That's why a country like Sweden now correctly refuses to recommend them for children under 12 years old.

If seatbelts were even remotely comparable to covid vaccines, they would have been forbidden.

@Gargron I believe good nutrition, sleep and movement prevents illness. Our bodies are constantly fighting off viruses. Healthy immune systems have evolved to do this. If I believed the virus was man made then sure I would consider a vaccine more favourably but there’s no reason to think it’s non natural.

Also, why do you think the human response to sickness is to die?

We have drugs now, and the US has never spent more on ”health” care, yet it has the highest rates of cancer in the world.
