“2. Millions of Americans have already had COVID, which produces stronger and longer lasting immunity than vaccine-induced immunity, which wanes rapidly. In a study from Israel, the vaccinated were 27 times more likely to get symptomatic COVID than those with natural immunity. Even if you get the vaccine, it is likely that you will get COVID. brownstone.org/articles/a-review-and-autopsy-of-two-covid-immunity-studies/, medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2021.08.24.21262415v1.
3. As with any drug or vaccine, the is some risk in getting the COVID vaccines, such as myocarditis in children and young adults, and we won’t know the full extent of these and other risks for at least a couple of years. For children, the risk of dying from COVID is vanishingly small, so even a small risk from the vaccine can be good reason to avoid getting it. The same is true for the COVID-recovered, who would get only a minuscule additional benefit from the vaccine, if any at all.
4. The vaccines have been widely available in the USA for almost a year. Anyone who wants one has already got one.
Four reasons COVID vaccine mandates are wrong:
1. Vaccines do not prevent transmission of COVID. Therefore, when someone gets vaccinated, he or she is doing it for his/her own sake. The decision of whether to get vaccinated should be based on an individual’s personal risk/benefit analysis - not on the ideas of “protecting others” nor “creating herd immunity,” which these vaccines cannot do very well.”
