    At what age would you refuse the vaccine?

    Most people on this forum are middle aged or old, so the vast majority of members here have a very realistic danger from COVID causing long-term harm.

    99% of the deaths in the US have been to people 35+, even though people under 35 make up almost 50% of the population.

    Long term effects like permanent lung damage are a realistic danger for people over 45, whereas they are very uncommon for people under 30, and super rare for those under 16.

    This is the reason they didn't even bother to study the effects of the vaccine on kids yet. The danger to them is substantially LESS than both the flu and suicide. (Incidentally, suicides in kids have gone way up during the lockdown -- something being mostly ignored by the media.)

    It should also be known that the vaccines are NOT well tested for safety, since they were rushed out. There is no way to fully test a vaccine for safety without observing its effects for years.

    But I'm not here to debate all of that.

    I'm asking that if we could change your age, what would be the first age where you'd say NO to the vaccine? (If you wouldn't take the vaccine anyway at your present age, obviously this doesn't apply to you, but state that anyway.)

    I'm going to make this a poll.

    The point for me would be 29. If I were under 30, I wouldn't take the vaccine now. If I were 30, it would be close, but I'd lean slightly on the side of taking it.

    At 49 (my present age), it's a no-brainer, even though I acknowledge the vaccine does carry a little bit of risk. There's also the fertility factor. That hasn't been studied yet, but at 49, that doesn't matter to me. That also might cause me to wait on the vaccine if I were 30 and didn't have kids, but I'm not sure.

    But I'll go with 29.

    In a way I agree. I have been flu vaccinated once thanks to a nagging wife, god bless her dirty soul.
    So under 30 I am not worried. Not even now at 49. But I still listen to the the scientists and it does not
    put me out. I'm not under house arrest for instance. A mask is too much for you or whatever pronoun??

    p.s. I do not fear my government to the point of refusing a vaccine. In a pandemic I'm all in.
    Also horrible poll

    You're lucky GrenadaRroger doesn't troll you given the title of this thread. Is vaccination a requirement that you might refuse?

    I think I’d want it at any age. I have heard multiple athletes in their 20s talk of still being winded six months after having COVID, and they’re in much better shape than average 20 year olds. so I think that lung damage is uncommon is as unknown as any potential long term safety concerns.

    I’d just want the antibodies for other strains in the future. I’d imagine they’d offer some protection from it developing further if you happen to catch it early like those who caught it last March before we knew it was here

    Still, I wouldn’t call anyone stupid if they were under 35 and wanted to wait. It’s a calculated risk. After that, it’s pretty clearly stupid.

    Got the first dose of Pfizer Thursday. I would take it at any age. Sore arm next day for a few hours but all good. Looking forward to second dose 20 days from first.

    Are you an anti-vaxxer too? That would explain so much of your retardation

    I hit the wrong one by mistake, obv not taking as is none in my circle of friends.

    If you are having lingering issues of covid, you need to seek a good natural healing doc because your body is deficient in something and they will find and fix NATURALLY.

    My doctor tells me I'm dying and that nature takes it's course. And then I get my pills

    Well he did have pancreatic cancer, so even with traditional treatments, he would have been fucked. That's the very worst of all cancers, with a survival rate of only 2% after 10 years, and 8% after 5 years.
