alistair are there specific risks you’re concerned about when it comes to the vaccine or is a general ’we don’t know yet’ position? i’m fine with healthy skepticism, but as far as i understand, negative outcomes are still greater with covid than the vaccine for that age group.
and while it’s obviously your choice and should be, i’m not in favour of forced vaccines, you absolutely need to consider the wider society impacts. if you’re willing to accept all of the benefits of living in a shared society, then you need to accept some of the risks and consequences that come with it. we’re all better off in the long run with that approach.
