Here's what happened just in Michigan alone:

Vaccines are not the answer to stopping social distancing, stopping wearing masks, and going back to work in the office.
Then what is all this for then?

So I'm retiring earlier than I had planned to (if I could WFH, I'd probably work indefinitely), because once you've WFH, you can't go back! Their loss.

Vaccine works best at preventing the worst symptoms of covid from happening. That means a lower death rate from getting covid.

Is this proven to "prevent severe illness" in the very old, the very sick, and the obese? Because they're the ones who generally die WITH - not necessarily OF - this virus, just as they die from the flu or even the common cold. Whereas for the rest of us, it ALREADY has a 99.8% survival rate...

As I say, my risk/benefit analysis -- as well as my intuition and common sense -- tell me this isn't something I need to pursue...

A very good question that many people do not have a convincing answer for. Especially using a sped-through experimental vaccine where the vaccine makers are not held liable for any malfeasance and where many life insurance companies won't pay out for deaths that are caused by this vaccine. That alone is reprehensible to me.
