and by “right” decision you mean the one they support? I find it humorous you are referred to as an overload when the attempt to stifle any debate from the get go. Absolute amazing.

There’s a lot of discussion about “choice” from the anti-vax side, but to me, choice requires informed decision making based on factual information. Not fear. Not insinuation. Not wild unsubstantiated claims. And if you sue the manufacturers out of business with nuisance claims (as anti-vaxxers attempted to do in the 1980s before Congress stepped in), that removes all choice.

When people have all the facts in front of them and have all options available to them (no mandates, no nuisance suits preventing access), and when they’re not subjected to an environment of fear and terror, they have real choice. Real freedom.

Over 30 million COVID-19 vaccines have been given worldwide so far including 10 million in the US. There have been no deaths associated with them. There have been a small number (about 1 in a million) of reactions, all of which have been handled, most of which were fully recovered from within hours. As of today, your risk of death with COVID-19 vaccines is 0. Your risk of severe reaction is about 1 in a million.

The disease? That’s a different story. Your risk of death with a COVID-19 infection is 1 in 154 (general US population average). Your risk of ICU admittance is 1 in 33. Your risk of hospitalization is 1 in 20.

So 1 in 20 you end up in the hospital with COVID or 1 in 1,000,000 you end up in the hospital with a severe reaction. 1 in 154 you end up dead with COVID or 0 chance you end up dead with the vaccine. This math is easy.
