I do actually avoid things that are known to cause cancer or other serious disease, if I can. Rarely drink alcohol, don't smoke, don't listen to bluegrass, etc. I know it's impossible to avoid all danger and still live a full life, but I do what I can.You have roughly a 3% chance of being diagnosed with cancer in any given year and a lifetime 1 in 3 chance of that diagnosis
Yet you are scared of an illness with an extremely low chance of hospitalization or death caused by a virus that is never going away
Do you do everything that science says you should to mitigate your chances of developing with cancer?
If not, you are indeed the one being controlled ... by your fear
I'm not "scared" of Covid. But to me, the vaccination is a reasonable precaution against the disease. My brother works in healthcare, and he went through Covid. After 5 days in the hospital (thankfully no vent), he'll be the first to tell you that it's not "jUsT a bAd fLu."
The vaccine is not perfect, but the current numbers show that the unvaccinated are WAY more likely to wind up in the hospital than those who have been vaccinated.
Do you carry a gun because you are "scared," or as a reasonable means of protection against a threat?
You want to talk fear? Seems to be a lot of people scared of the vaccine, even after millions of Americans have been vaccinated without issue. I'm not the one living in fear of a worldwide conspiracy.
