This might seem like a dumb question but should I get the vaccine?

My family is getting it now & my 3 grandparents have just got the 2 shots for it. Now my dad is getting an appointment for it soon & I told them I'm not sure if I want it or not & my dad just told me that I need to get the vaccine.

I hope to God nothing bad happens to my family for taking it (or me for not taking it). I've seen headlines of people dying from it & it makes me sad since Trump had a big role in getting the vaccines out to everyone with operation warp speed & said he fully supports the vaccines. But then I see everyone on here hates the vaccine even though we are all trump supporters. It's just total chaos, I don't trust anything. People could die because of it a few months from now & I guess some people have died right after taking it.

There are 'reasons' these types of messenger therapies have never been used on Humans, one such being the fact all the animals in the studies died.

But if you research it yourself and also search your heart and decide to take one, good luck.

I wouldn't take it but it is your Cross to bear, not mine.

Well, we have now had millions of actual humans vaccinated, actual deaths that are verifiably attributed to the vaccine are exceedingly small. Dying with covid is not necessarily dying of Covid, and dying after taking the vaccine is not necessarily dying from the vaccine. Or have we already forgotten the media manipulation of the virus that occurred last year?

Every drug always has people who develop a severe reaction to it and die. The question is whether people are dying above the expected number of deaths. You're looking at studies done with these therapies a decade ago, but technology moves at a very fast pace. This vaccine has been studied in clinical trials before mass vaccination, and mass vaccination can be looked at as a giant clinical trial. Short term, it is safe. This is a fact that is not debatable. Long term does not exist yet.

I find it amazing how many people here are pulling for this vaccine to fail. Why? So you can have your "I told you so" moment? Think about someone besides yourself and your own ego. Every covid patient I have intubated, in the back of my mind I knew that I was very likely to be the last human being that person will ever interact with. If we have a safe and effective vaccine, what's the problem? If you don't want to take it, don't take it. Wait and see, or don't take it at all. Nobody should be forced into it. You should decide for yourself what the risk is. But don't judge others because they think differently from you. Because that makes us no different from the left. It's a harsh truth that many people here need to understand. You're not helping anybody by claiming it is dangerous based on something you read from an animal trial done a decade ago. Or even 5 years ago. While ignoring the data that is pouring out today.

Edit: this is directed to the general public here, not necessarily at you.
