What if I had a gun with 100 chambers and only two of them had a bullet in it. Its OK to take the gun around, point it at people, then pull the trigger. You only got a 2% chance to die, stop being a pussy. Right?
You wouldnt put it to your temple.
We already know you'd put it to a kids head and squeeze it.
Weird how all those people dying in alabama are unvaccinated. 95% of hospitalizations for covid, unvaccinated. Ooops...

Nobody, at least not me, is saying the vaccine doesn't work. "95% of hospitalizations are unvaccinated" is a really misleading stat though. How many actual people is that, and what is their risk of not surviving their hospitalization? It's extremely, extremely low. Your russian roulette analogy can be applied to literally anything. Life has risks man.
Again, what is your end game? To live in a world with zero covid? That isn't happening. At what point will you, personally, feel comfortable going back to normal?
If the vaccine works, you shouldn't feel threatened by the unvaccinated. If the vaccine doesn't work, you're justified in avoiding other people but you also can't be so rigidly militant about them getting a vaccine that doesn't work.
Dying of covid is bad. Having to permanently close your small business that you spent decades building is also bad. All of life is cost\benefit assessments, and the covid nazis are completely wrong on the issue. They had a point at the very beginning when we didn't know anything about the virus. Now we know a lot about it, and thank god it's not very dangerous. Move on.
If you're a member of a vulnerable group, then yes I think you should get vaccinated. If you're not, I think it's perfectly reasonable to wait a couple years before getting it.
EDIT: And btw I'm basing these opinions on data *from the CDC*, which we are expected to treat as an authoritative organization.
