You should have gotten the vaccine as well, you are 10x more likely to die from covid than from the flu and highly likely to get long covid. Even if you have a low chance of dying from it you still have a extremely high likelihood of passing it on to someone it can easily kill and as a member of society you owe it at least a little bit if you receive its benefits. Also what does being male have to do with any of this? You do you though, but there is almost 0 danger in getting the vaccine and tons of danger in not getting it.

Link? To something other than a nutjob site?

I mean, I haven’t looked into it and tbh I wouldn’t be that surprised if it DOES correlate to a higher risk. But I’m willing to bet we are talking insanely low risks but people will always know someone directly or through 6 degrees who had this happen so therefor it’s an evil plot!!111

> The vaccines don't prevent transmission

Nothing is ever 100% perfect - no medicine or vaccine. However, transmission in vaccinated individuals is orders of magnitude lower than unvaccinated.

There’s no point in trying to logic with people like this.

Somehow, people got it into their heads that vaccines = immunity! With 100% success!!!!

And, no? What?

I haven’t figured out where they got it from.

> Even with Delta the effectiveness against transmission dropped to zero in under 12 weeks.

It didn't.
