I came to your stack after reading your exchange with S.Cheung (I think that was right) over at Quillette. Your arguments were strong and your rhetorical technique absolutely formidable. I was wondering if you had seen the USFDA's video on vaccine boosters: https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=14993&v=WFph7-6t34M&feature=youtu.be

Apologize for linking a video (I loathe them as a rule), but there was no transcript. The linked time stamp contains several short presentations by credentialed experts that are trying desperately to call a timeout in the COVID hysteria. The arguments presented are like a ray of sunshine in a world clouded by groupthink and motivated reasoning. It gave me hope for the public health establishment. The entire open session contains reasonable argument after argument for skepticism and the need for more data.

Excellent summary. The push for everyone to be vaccinated is accelerating even as evidence piles up worldwide that it's not safe, effective or even needed in many cases. Why are early treatments being denied when they clearly diminish the risk of serious illness? Until I'm completely convinced of short and long term safety as well as necessity, I'm not getting it. The threats to our freedom if we don't bow down and agree to this are unprecedented.

No, I will not get vaccinated. I will write something about my reasoning but it aligns with what you have written here. Not sure on your age group either, but so far here it's 99.3% survivable for my age group, with 90% of the registered deaths having comorbidities, of which I have none.

My basical calculation says this shifts CFR from 0.68 to 0.068 for those with good health and no comordbitites. And we are way behind in cases thanks to the longest lock downs in human history.

Then add in my solid Vit D and plenty of sun exposure... something none of our medical orgs have even mentioned in passing... let alone early treatment protocols that do not have to include the banned and denigrated IVM.

No, I won't get vaccinated.
