Which raw data ?
The deaths, the long term effects, the damaged economies ?

Cases v deaths. Death rate is minimal. That is fact
You cant find me long lasting effects. There arent enough of them. Especially from younger/healthy people. There will be some. There will always be some. Youll never get this to zero, it wasnt zero before for long lasting effects of a basic flu for some.
Economies are obviously (if youre not completely brain dead) stuffed from lockdowns, more than the virus.

You're constantly acting like you can live life with NO risk. You've never done this previously, why do we have to now? Theres a risk that yes, i may suffer some problem. That chance is akin to being struck by lightening. Its not worth worrying about let alone mandating for

The hysteria about covid is absolutely mental when you look at the raw data. A "case" isnt scary when most dont know they have it. Im not remotely bothered about covid hurting me therefore the vaccine is at least as risky as covid itself to me. Take the fact theyre skipping testing phases and companies get immunity against fatal side effects. No bueno. Not for me

If its a mandate to travel, i reassess but thats the only thing for me. I dont need it. Healthy 30 year old isnt in danger despite MANY healthy 30 year olds shitting themselves because 7 news told them to

Fwiw i would absolutely sign a waiver keeping me from taking a ventilator if the world opened and i could go back to 2019 normal. Full stadium crowds, open borders, no restrictions of any kind etc. Obviously that isnt feasible but thats my fear levels personally. Could not be less bothered. I do wonder how many have that frame of mind, i used to think that was the majority but i think the fear campaigns and constant extremist media has flipped people after 8 months of this sh*t

Lucky for you, you're not in WA, McGowan is absolutely thriving on driving the fear factor into everyone and the local media are totally complicit.

I'm considered a Category 3 worker (essential, but not frontline medical or elderly/pre-existing condition), so will have to make the decision before the general public.

As a scientist, I will look at the data and research available and make a decision. I am much more likely to get vaccinated than not if the vaccine has passed through the appropriate trials unless there are obvious red flags. There isn't really a way to assess the longer term impact of the vaccine without waiting for the longer term; for the good of society and protecting the vulnerable around me, that is a risk I am prepared to take.

So I take it you consider yourself 'young and healthy'? Therefore, 'it doesn't affect me, so too bad for others'?

I'd do some serious reading into possible effects of COVID (blood clots in the brain & vital organs being a major concern) before suggesting there is no risk to you, even if you are 'young and healthy'.

Possible. What % is possible? There is the possibility of any number of things happening to a young/healthy person and theres more for old. No different here but when that possibility is so minute, im not going to live under the doona worrying about it. The hysteria over this is mind boggling.

Theres risk in every single thing you do. Everything. Getting in your car assumes more risk than covid offers yet you do it every day. Yes, i "could" have something happen, that "could" have happened in 2019, 18, 17. For some reason you're so afraid of what ifs ONLY related to covid. Just being outside must scare the shit out of you. You "could" get mugged, stabbed, walk under a bus, catch any number of virus, diseases. Yet youve never worried until 2020 and the dreaded covid...

As I stated - you are focused entirely on the risk to you as an individual, not on how your actions affect the vulnerable people around you.

Luckily scientific modelling takes youthful selfish narcissism into account

Which test phases are they skipping?

My understanding is the vaccine is made up of GRAS substances and rather than skipping testing phases, the speed at which the trials occurred was due to more participants/studies occurring in parallel than is usually the case (which is why vaccine development usually takes years).

Theres usually 3 stages of trials? Often requiring retaking tests, especially for drugs/vaccines. My knowledge for this is limit to investment knowledge so it isnt much. If thats wrong, i wouldnt be surprised. Even speeding through phases, isnt giving much time to see side effects.

My issue is their push for immunity against side effects. 100% they should compensate for problems they cause. The fact they fight so hard not to, isnt confidence building...

They are currently undergoing Phase III trials at the moment. Stage IV trials occur over a long time but after they have been released to the public. Trials for long-term side effects usually take place when the vaccine involves novel drugs - which is not the case with these vaccines.

Arent you fear mongering now?

I’ve smoked dope, chewed rope, danced, French romanced, ****ed, farted, fought, shot the moon and drove big trucks. I’ve been to Janesville Maine, Spain, Spokane and Fort Wayne, seen three world fairs, been around the world twice, looked danger in the face and seen goats **** in the marketplace, I know no fear.
 
I’ll definitely get it ASAP. We travel a hell of a lot and vaccination certificates will be needed for many places and quite possibly required to be able to leave Australia so for us it’s a must
