No.

If you get yours, why should you give a damn if I get mine? You're protected, right? Shouldn't matter to you if I get covid and die. It won't affect you at all. How about you let me make my health care choices?

I think it's wise not to rush out and get one of these experimental vaccines during the initial trials currently taking place.





I'm not a test subject for government bs, are you?

Just to answer the question in the title... I don't necessarily think that it is irresponsible to NOT get the vaccine. Like most vaccines, it's a personal choice. I should point out though that the life you're saving by taking the vaccine is likely your own.

Its only irresponsible if you think it is...dont listen to anyone else. As long as all those who want the vaccine get it, we should all be happy, right? What I think is irresponsible are those cheating to get ahead of others for the vaccine. Let those that need the vaccine get it first and then open it up to others.

What you put in your body is your decision and your choice. It is selfish of others to make that choice for you. If they are concerned about covid, they can get the vaccine.

all you hear about on the news is people getting the vaccine, then dying two days later. they make it sound like 1000's per day dying with the vaccine, kinda make you want to just hug a sick person and get infected

Increasing your likelihood of harming yourself and others is irresponsible.
How responsible is it for someone to choose to be obese?

Personal choice.

However, as long a any of us refuse to get vaccinated we will have to live with Covid for our entire lives. It will NOT go away on its own. If you (the collective you) don't care about a job, a home, a healthy economy and society where we can ALL enjoy life, then don't get vaccinated. The virus will come and go, peaks and valleys, death of the elderly and occasionally a child or two. Nothing to worry about. "They" will die, maybe even your children or parents, but YOU will fine. Right?

It's irresponsible to demand somebody get a vaccine when they have no recourse for compensation if they are permanently injured by it.

Unless, of course; you would all collectively pledge to donate your own time & money in the event that happens. In 2019 I reached my $1 Million in lost wages mark since my son was permanently disabled by a vaccine in 2005. I have provided almost $4 Million ($3,942,000) in uncompensated caregiving services over the last 15 years.

In the name of Responsibility, I would get the covid vaccine if I first received the five million for wages & caregiving services I have lost since the last vaccine anyone in my family took. Although that won't give my child his future back, will it?

You want to talk responsibility? Then take responsibility.
