it's not an easy choice, i know.
but if you are in somewhere like the UK right now, my guess is it's an easier choice.
a good friend is mourning the passing of their cousin, under 50yrs of age, fully fit, after 3 weeks of covid.
perhaps he could have tried taking homeopathic remedies, or vitamin supplements, or pretended it was the flu, or ignored it altogether, or stopped using 5G mobile phone, or taken some other once experimentally tested and now common place drug for some other ailment all together, or made a point of not wearing a mask, or any of the millions of other options that get touted by the freedom fighters who use the internet every day to validate their stance from the comfort of their keyboards in an island country with space and sunshine and closed borders.
but if you are living in ground zero right now and watching people die, conspiracy theories about bill gates or the concerns over whether the vaccine is effective enough or dangerous are probably weighted a bit differently.
glad it's not might problem for now.
we are lucky enough to have the luxury of arguing over the merits.
if you are in the trenches and you have a choice between having a random medic inject you with something or leaving you to bleed out and die, i'm sure it's a tougher choice, and in my experience, when emergency services show up and you think you or someone you love is a goner, the gratitude you feel for them doing what they do stays with you for the rest of your life, even if it isnt perfect.
