Is anyone actually "forcing" you to take the vaccine?
This argument looks like a :strawman: to me.

And even if you could isolate yourself for an extended period of time, this virus (or it's variants) will probably still be around.

If this topic is about whether or not you intend to take a vaccine for coronavirus, then one should be more accurate about what they call a vaccine.
Up to now what is avalaible is genetic therapy - not "vaccine".
?!?!? ©

covid genetic therapy: yea or nay (in the here and now) ?

And variances are not mutations.

I don't vote. - I never do.

You are very foolish. If i can't travel or am otherwise disadvantaged that is incetivizing submission. One can be coherced into doing something and that is a form of forcing someone let alone physical restraint which is a much more costly way of forcing someone to do what u want.

What is the thing about viruses? If u isolate urself u will not be exposed to pathogens of the general population and not have developed immunities u would otherwise.

If you are isolated long enough then contact with a generally healthy person will be very dangerous.

As was the case for a number of indigenous populations when Europeans turned up...

COVID Vaccine

Just had my first COVID jab (Pfizer). Feeling pretty good so far. Just a numb arm, slight nausea.

Good luck - I hope all goes well. Keep posting. If you suddenly stop, I'll know that I need to go for the AstraZeneca! :tongue:

the shot itself hurt, and i cried out
and i was laughed at
why do people say shots dont hurt
but hopefully i can be less cautious now and go do things
i dont care about getting sick; i just dont want to spread it

No vaccine for this kid, nor will I ever get it.
No mask either, never have never will.
Not my responsibility if others get sick.
Did you ever think to ask yourself if they haven’t isolated the virus, just how did they make a vaccine?
