every time I see anti-vaxx shit posted here at least one of you is already in the comments, fighting the good fight.

@admins please reconsider chapo's site-wide tolerance of anti-vaxx/vaccine-skeptical/vaccine-hesitant rhetoric

      Side effects aren't the only thing that could make it worse. Those hundreds of thousands of people might not be immune, they might still be able to spread the virus.

      People are going to get the vaccine and think they can go back to life before the virus, but they could still be spreading it. More people out and spreading = things get worse, including for your friends and neighbors.

          You are assuming there's a 100% chance of people not dying. Or even a reasonably high chance. That's not the case. The vaccine isn't some magical thing that will definitely work. And it being rushed means it's even less likely to work.

          More people dying will make things worse. It's possible that more people will die because of the vaccine.

              China is more competent, has been working on it for longer, is using a known technology instead of something pretty much brand new, and actually cares about making a proper vaccine instead of just "make line go up". By the time I could even get a Sinovac vaccine it will have been long enough to have a decent idea of how well it works.

              I'm not saying I'll never get the Pfizer or Moderna vaccine, but I won't get it right away.
