Title text: The vaccine stuff seems pretty simple. But if you take a closer look at the data, it’s still simple, but bigger. And slightly blurry. Might need reading glasses.

    Except the risk of serious side effects from the vaccine is higher than from COVID, in healthy young individuals. But keep believing everything the authority figures tell you, I’m sure it will work out great. And btw, the vaccinated still got sick and transmitted the virus even when asymptomatic so yeah.

      Why should I trust you more than “the authority figures” ? What are your figures that I should trust ?

      Why should I trust some unknown person on the internet that give me some facts without any evidence ?

      Why shouldn’t I trust the data that has been gathered by global scientific communities, validated by experts, cross checked by pairs, some of them I’ve read and understood myself, and also relevant to my actual observations ?
