But it´s a lie that getting the jab "saves lives". It is not proven that the vaccine prevents infections, nor is it proven it works longer than a few months or is effective against some new variants (quite the opposite!)
So in face of all this, why take the risks of this experimental gene therapy (Phase 3 studies are not even completed, let alone long term safety follow up trials).

From what I read doesn't getting the vaccine reduce my ability to transmit the virus to others? From what I read Pfizer lasts minimum 6 months and is effective against the new variants. I do understand new variants can emerge at any time rendering the vaccine less effective but some immunity beats no immunity.
It is not that easy. I think that vaccine-induced immunity can´t be as effective as a naturally acquired immunity, based on all compartments of the immune system. The best is to have a strong immune system and undergo the Coronavirus infection. For this of course a healthy lifestyle and an active social life is needed, contrary to the lockdowns and wearing masks (which weakens the immune system). And it could well be that for future variants, the vaccinated patients are more susceptible. I call them patients, as the Phase 3 studies are not over and safety surveillance studies have not been done - or rather are currently done during the mass vaccinations, without letting the participants know :)
The best way to get a good immunity is to have a nasal vaccination - inducing the cellular immunity.
Vaccines so far are as effective as naturally acquired immunity. The body doesn't seen to care where the message came from. But even if somehow the body could distinguish some difference the fact is many of us wouldn't survive the natural process.
This is true for the classical vaccines, but not necessarily for artificially introduced mRNAs. Did you know that up to 40% of the mRNA molecules are truncated (not full length) and therefore may be transcribed to shortened proteins with possibly other conformation and thus other epitopes?
It's not really gene therapy. It's M RNA. It's messenger only. It's like read only.
First of all, some of the vaccines are with DNA, not mRNA, and then there are enzymes like reverse transcriptase. Can you 100% rule out that by chance you are not e.g. infected by another virus (e.g. Hep B) that has loaded a copy of reverse transcriptase in your cells?
I know, it is a theoretical risk only, but not zero.
I think you are really stretching here. The risk would be lower than a plane crash. Do you worry your plane will be the one which crashes every time you fly? What about your car getting into a crash like John Nash? Anything can happen but we do have odds.
Agree that the individual odds is very low, but the governments worldwide unite in an unique campaign to mass vaccinate several hundred of million healthy people with little risk of getting harmed by this influenca-like virus. This adds up the risk.
And the long-term risks (cancer, autoimmune diseases) are even less known and will be hard to link to the vaccines. Never have such drugs being licensed, so nobody knows for sure.
And the odds of what you say happening is a lot lower than the odds of you catching a COVID-19 variant and dying from it.
I am not afraid of the virus. In our country is the average age of people dying with COVID-19 more than 80. In fact it is a disease of the Elderly and weak predominantly. Cases of younger people dying are overhyped. Also from influenza people of younger age were dying or had long-lasting symptomes without anybody ever had cared. Other death causes are MUCH more relevant like cardiovascular ones or massive obesity. Completely ignored! Insane.
Which variant? Some kill people younger more efficiently.
