Sure. I haven't been truly sick. I would probably take anything if the decease was painful enough. But that's not what we are talking about here with vaccines, specially vaccines against the flu or something that isnt dangerous to most people to get.
Pretty sure most people think of Covid, the thing a lot of people did die to, or Polio, the returning sickness that we literally had a president who couldn't walk because of.
Fun part being we're having life-debilitating diseases (again, polio) come back from the results of the anti-vax rhetoric.
Yeah covid was worth vaccinating against if you were above 50 or had other deceases since before, or were overweight and so on.
There was a lot of interesting info in the statistics over deaths. I went over it a lot during covid.
Basically just followed the numbers and made decisions based on that.
It was also worth vaccinating against if you were none of these things to ensure that people who couldn't take the vaccine would benefit from herd immunity.
