Sure, the more information, the better.
As mentioned in an earlier post, one of my roommates treats children with Covid. I asked her opinion on the effectiveness of the Covid vaccines. She was, how shall I say, ambiguous. After asking her a leading question, she did say that vaccines likely reduced the severity of Covid for most people. She did get hit fairly hard by Covid in spite of being young, a woman without comorbidities, and vaccinated and boosted.
Sure, vaccines have their issues, as does catching a virus. Either way, one's DNA will get modified, unless one takes the JNJ vaccine and does not get infected. For viruses of minor to moderate concern, I believe each individual needs to make their own decision in light of their own specific circumstances. As far as vulnerable populations are concerned, mostly people over 60 years old or so, it seems unfair to demand babies, children, teenagers, and most of working age to be forced to be vaccinated for Covid. It was not that long ago that 45 years old was considered pretty close to a full life for humans mainly because of pathogens. Perhaps pathogens are nature's way of allowing the sharing of resources with new generations, while those generations are still relatively new. Those who are vulnerable are more than welcome to vaccinate themselves and take other protective measures. I believe those who are sick or go to crowded places are obligated to take protective measures, however.
Interestingly, there appear to be conspiracy theories related to vaccines and or Covid being a coordinated effort by developed countries to control population growth. In another words, the human way of effecting the sharing of resources from older generations or "People of lesser importance", for the benefit of newer generations or "More important people". I don't subscribe to those conspiracy theories because of the well known risks involving the release of pathogens. As far as the distribution of poisonous vaccines to control population, I don't buy that either. Not yet, anyway, as larger population means a larger economy for the powers to skim off of for wealth and power. Countries that see population declines while their neighbors grow are at an increasing competitive disadvantage, in my opinion. Look at immigration practices of the US. It is designed to increase population, regardless of "Quality". Sure, part of that may be for the specific purpose to dilute the culture that made the US a global superpower during its heyday by those influenced by countries that are hostile to US interests, but it is an undeniable fact that U.S. employers of all sizes actively seek cheap, foreign labor.
