I hope you seek some help for this - really - because that seems like you are in a very defeatist emotional state that has nothing to do with this virus
Wow....thank you for that arm chair analysis of my emotional state doctor. Where do I send the check.

Not fear. It's distrust of big pharma who has absolutely no liability risk exposure for these EUA vaccines while raking in huge profits for themselves. Of course they want booster shots.

I do agree that risk perception seems a little bit out of whack with Covid. That will eventually change (hopefully), but not until we stop getting bombarded with daily news and headlines. It has started up with a vengeance again - I get that cases are rising slightly, I get that new variants are appearing that we have to keep an eye on. I do not agree with some of the headlines I see that seem to only generate fear and nervousness, and some are flat out misleading. We are nowhere near where we were a year ago, but you have to dig yourself into the numbers to realize that.

The whole "it's worth it if we can save one life" theory doesn't fly. If that were the case we'd never leave our houses - ever. When you leave your house there is always risk that you may cause someone harm, or someone may cause harm to you.

To the vaccinated healthcare workers who will end up trying to save you.

Starglow, it's entirely fine to be afraid of this vaccine. I think you want to be convinced. We have tried. We've countered your very specific arguments with very specific facts. I don't know your personal or family situation, if you are around vulnerable people, what. I hope you end up getting the vaccine and not COVID. Really don't know what else to say.

And Big Mask just wants everyone to keep wearing masks, I'm sure. And Big Media just loves talking about the coronavirus every day. Surely it never gets old for them! All this skepticism just makes no sense given the circumstances, I'm sorry.

So have you and do you intend to refuse all medicines, treatments and vaccines (new and old) developed by Big Pharma or is your distrust of Big Pharma making big $$$ specific only to the covid vaccine? ( treatments for covid are in the works). So,,,,,, if you refuse all medicines, treatments, vaccines etc.that Big Pharma has made/developed, sooner or later, you ain't gonna feel too good......

There was life long before big pharma existed, but now days they want everyone to be taking medication for something and apparently you aren't considered normal if your not taking prescription drugs. If big pharma and others have so much faith in the safety of these EUA vaccines then drop the legal liability immunity clause. Guaranteed legal protection for them but none for us.

What about over the counter drugs? Do you take a Tylenol, an Advil, etc?
