Would you get a Covid vaccine in exchange for a $1,500 stimulus check?

From what I see 2 to 4 percent have some side effects ranging from soreness at the injection site to flu like symptoms lasting up to 12 hours. I don’t see anything like what you are claiming.

It is a pretty funny video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X29lF43mUlo&ab_channel=GeenN...

As a kid it seemed like I got sick a lot (as perhaps many kids do) and I became a germaphobe. Now, as an adult, I am/was traveling semi-frequently, I don't really think twice about touching things in public, washing my hands, eating food off the floor, etc, and I am basically never sick. COVID has changed my habits, naturally, and perhaps I unknowingly kept habits that limit my exposure.

I'd be interested to know how different levels of quarantine impact someone's infection and illness rates separately; being a healthy carrier among a community of healthy carriers might be a good thing, as it indicates people are getting exposed to new pathogens at a safe gradient.

I'm with you. I'm not remotely worried about catching Coronavirus and haven't been sick in Decades. I like Carlins take on his white blood cells being armed with assault rifles with laser scopes. The older I get the more I realize Carlin had a lot of Libertarian leanings.

We don't have vaccinations for the millions of pathogens you encounter on a daily basis. Just the ones that are deadly. No immune system can fight some pathogens. You have gotten lucky so far.

Not to mention that while some viruses may not affect you, that doesn't mean you aren't spreading them on to other people that may die from them.

Vaccination is as much a community issue as a personal one.
