If you are in the minority of people yet to get a single jab what are your reasons? Curious to know...

@debluvscanucks Your logic is nonsense. "People who run this forum share my views so I can do what I want." That is a bigot.
Quotebig·ot a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.

@Sean Monahan Again I'll repeat never has a vaccine been rushed this fast for production for use ever, so something that's never been done before I'll be skeptical imo that's still 50/50 something that's never been done before but your acting like this has happened before or happens all the time for producing a vaccine for a virus this fast yet they've never done one this fast, so I don't know how you can come to the assumption that it's all fine before actually knowing. I said in my original post we hope everything is safe we want to trust them, but when something has been rushed as fast as this one was I'm going to stay skeptical for a bit.
Did I say I was okay with getting covid? Did you not read my original post? I've been masking up before masking up was even mandatory for your info, maybe if the people who didn't take this virus serious actually did take it serious from the beginning like myself maybe this virus would of been gone by now.... But because of their actions of not trying to stop spreading it, now I'm considered the bad guy because I'm skeptical about a vaccine that was rushed into production.... I also said in my OP I'm not against getting the vaccine one day, just at the moment not right now and hopefully I'm proven wrong.

@ChuckNORRIS4Cup the mRNA vaccines are not new technology. These Pfizer and moderna vaccines are adaptations of the SARS vaccine which was developed ~15 years ago. The studies done on that vaccine and the studies we’ve done thus far on the covid vaccine indicate that they’re safe.
And sure, that’s great. Wearing a mask and whatnot helps but it’s not a bulletproof defence. Plenty of people have contracted and spread the virus despite following preventative measures. People slip up on these measures at times. It’s just human.
My point is despite the mask wearing, hand sanitizing, etc you’re still leaving yourself at an increased risk of contracting the virus compared to a vaccinated person. And with that risk of contracting the virus comes the risk of long term effects. We seem to have a greater indication of long term effects of a covid infection than we do with the vaccine. There’s been billions of doses administered going back to last fall now I think? Seems safe so far.
That study done on the covid infected athletes at Ohio State finding seemingly permanent cellular damage to their hearts is enough for me. Those are young, healthy individuals. My superintendent at work got covid at the beginning of April and had to take about a month off. Still can’t walk up a flight of stairs without stopping for a breath. This guy was an avid cyclist prior to getting sick, done the Ride 2 Survive or whatever it’s called a few times and as recently as 2019.
I guess it boils down to your trust of institutions. I trust what I know of the vaccine.
