    Trusts doctors enough to be cut open and have someone elses organ inserted into their body. Doesn’t trust doctors enough to get vaccinated

      The comment below by @nomadjoanne is incorrect, since a COVID-19 infection has a higher risk for myocarditis than what the vaccine can cause. However, I’m choosing to keep it up because there are a lot of comments afterwards outlining WHY it is incorrect, and that’s helpful for dealing with the disinformation.

      I’m open to reviewing this again if people think it should be removed anyway

      The vaccine was clearly rushed into production and saved a lot of vulnerable people’s lives. That does not mean it does not have risks that, for younger and healthier people, those might outweigh the benefits.

      But public hysteria and groupthink dictated that it had to be coerced on people.

        The vaccine underwent the exact same rigorous testing that literally every other vaccine or medication gets. The only difference is that COVID vaccines were given a free pass to the front of the line at each step necessary. As well, due to them having a much shorter timeline and higher competition, it was economical to run multiple tests in parallel that would normally have been done in series.

        It wasn’t “rushed” as in sloppy, it was “rushed” in that it was given priority in the various governmental queues.

        That does not mean it does not have risks that

        The benefits outweigh the risks, even in the young and healthy, so the vaccines are recommended to everyone.

            I love how people mention heart inflammation from the vaccines, but they never talk about heart inflammation from COVID itself - it’s more common with COVID itself, and it’s more severe with COVID itself.

            But hey, gotta hate on the vaccines, am I right?

                  And the vaccine was a choice. Noone was forced to take it.

                  Many lost their jobs and in places like Canada could not leave the country for refusing to take the vaccine? It was not a choice, it was forced and those who wished to be left alone, lost basic freedoms.

                  Imagine you wanted to leave Canada to go to a better place, but you were denied since you needed to show a digital ID. Think about it.
