Charges and countercharges regarding pro and anti-vaccine stances are, from my point of view, unsubstantiated because there is still no hard evidence to show that either are based on fact, merely speculation.

From my personal experience, as a senior citizen with an immune-compromised system I was willing to try the vaccine. It didn’t prevent me from contracting COVID, however. I pointed this out to a vaccine advocate whose reply was that it prevented me from getting it serious case of it.

I find fault with that ‘logic’ in that you can never prove a negative. How would I ever know that I had escaped a more virulent form of it? It’s entirely hypothetical and, frankly, air-headed in its approach.

On the other hand saying that vaccines of RNA derivatives will lead to unexpected and serious side effects is just as wrong. Since we know of no instances where such reactions have occurred we fail into the same faulty logic - How can we prove something that so far hasn’t happened?
