I had thought about it a lot and decided that it was probably worth the risk, based on conversations with medical researchers who really understand how it works.
Then yesterday we had a workplace webinar where the president said that all staff are required to get the vaccine. Someone said how can you possibly require a vaccine that isn't even approved, but is only under emergency use authorization. The general counsel piped up and said that we think we are within our legal rights to require you to get it.
Someone else pointed out that in order to get this experimental vaccine we have to sign away our liability rights, so if the vaccine injures or kills us we have no recourse. And so isn't the company then liable for forcing you to take that risk? The webinar went silent for about 40 seconds and then the general counsel said that she would "circle back" on that question. So now they are worried...
Going to wait this one out for a bit.
You have no idea what the “risks” are of taking the gene therapy.... there are no clinical trials for medium to long term side effects. None.
So you can’t do a cost benefit analysis on taking the therapy or not.
What you do know is that the risk of dying from the virus is extremely low if you are under 70 and not unhealthy.... if you are unhealthy and over 70, the short term risks of the gene therapy higher.
In other words, trading infinite risk for little reward is just.... nonsensical.
