Go back to some of my comments earlier in this thread and I state this type of crap is another reason I am not willing to get it right now. This push to vaccinate everyone speaks to ulterior motives, IMO.
What ulterior motives? The idea to go door to door is dumb, but so is your view.
I think Plano summed it up nicely. It's way past "public health and safety" and well into the desire to further control people. That's not a dumb view because that's exactly what they're doing.
But why not get vaccinated because of that sole reason? You're so mad they have certain messaging you're not going to do what's best for you? That makes no sense.
The hard sell is not the sole reason, but it is one of the reasons.
The vaccine didn't exist not too long ago. Now, it's on the market and the government is all but forcing people to get it. We do not know the long term effects as it hasn't been around long enough to actually see the long term effects. In a couple of years, after we have more information on what those effects are, I most likely will get it, as will many others.
The immunity given to the drug companies. They're immune for 3 years but the program they fall under only allows for a suit to be filed up to 1 year after receiving the drug. "It's a pandemic and they needed that to get a drug to market, otherwise they wouldn't take the risk!" Spare me.
I'm in my 30s, admittedly, a little overweight, but I do not have diabetes, no high cholesterol, no high BP, and no other comorbidity we know is in a high risk group. I lift 3-4 days a week and do 3-4 30 minute cardio sessions per week (be it a spin class on the Pelaton or running on the track). Looking at the CDC data, I'm at low risk from COVID.
What many are not understanding is we're in July 2021 and not March 2020, and we know tons more about who the higher risk people are. There is loads of available data out there for someone to make an informed decision on what the feel is best for them, and instead of being supportive of that, the mob is wanting to exert their will onto people who they feel are not complying.
So, you have more concern about long term effects of a vaccine than a virus that has killed millions.
You say that is if this virus is killing everyone it infects. The facts do not support that nor your false claim. We have 15+ months of data on this and know which demographics and health issues put someone at a much higher risk. In the link above I provided from the CDC (which I'm certain you didn't look at), 79.9% of the deaths in the US were people 65+ and 95.2% if you include those 50+. On the flip, the same age groups represent only 13.4% and 33.6% of cases.
For those of us in younger groups, how many of those were perfectly healthy individuals? Very few. Most had other health issues that we know do not mix with COVID. I do not have any of those. Could I be an anomaly and be one of the rare healthy ones that gets it and dies? Yes. I could also be one of the anomalies from having issues from the vaccine as well.
Again, your ignorant claim is misleading at best, and a flat out deceptive lie at worst.

And none of your illogical reasoning explains why the hard sell is reason to not get it.
The public messaging has been atrocious in pretty much every level. Luckily for us, most Americans are smart enough to see through the BS and see the truth and that is that the vaccine is safe and extremely beneficial to our society.
My illogical reasoning? It's only illogical to you because you were not able to keep a level head in uncertain times and gave into your fear. Sounds to me like you're realizing this and are trying to justify it by forcing others to adhere to your same irrational fear and choices.
