Guess what? I've read them too. And off you go again. Not only am I foolish, shameful but I'm at threat to mankind now? Try and be a tad less hysteric?
It IS NOT a slam dunk. It is best available evidence based on the information available at this moment and time. Can you get that through your head? It's your opinion based on the evidence available at this moment and time just as it's my opinion and the German heads of their subsequent organisations that the science is incomplete.
For the record. And get this into your head. I have said nowhere that it was unsafe. I am simply commenting on the fact that there is incomplete knowledge on the subject matter at this time.
And it's not right vs wrong, it's not black vs white. If it was this poll would be a "slam-dunk" 100% for. If it was >19% of Germans would be getting vaccinated.
It's a matter of individual risk perception. You made your decision based on your risk perception. I'll do the same. Can't you get it into your head that based on your risk perception whilst you may see those that do unlike you as shameful, foolish and a risk to others I reserve the right based on my risk perception at this moment in time to consider you hysterical.
Congratulations on YOUR decision based on YOUR risk perception. Now get off your high horse, calm down, cut out the hysteria and allow people to make their own informed decisions based on their risk perceptions.
And FTR I remain undecided, not opposed to the vaccine. And FTR my SIL is a family doctor in France. She won't discourage her patients from getting it should they want it but at the same time she won't be encouraging them to get it either.
Looks like across the medical community there are split opinions just like in this thread and reflected in the poll. Hardly "black or white" or a "slam dunk". I'll pass onto her that she is foolish and shameful also.
