How many develop issues? 1 in ten? 1 in twenty? 1 in a thousand? Vs a drug that may give alzheimer's or Leukemia in 5 years.

Like I said, an experimental vaccine, rushed into production, and had the usual testing waived, vs a virus that almost all the ones infected with it having little of any symptoms?

Yeah, that's a hard No. If I was immunocompromised, elderly, etc. It would be a different story, but as a relatively healthy adult under 50, no, I'm not going to be a live fire beta tester.

I understand the feeling even if I come to a different conclusion. While I think widespread immunization is the right path, I am absolutely against making it mandatory except for very narrow circumstances (military, working health care, etc.) It needs to be something everyone judges for themselves.
