I CHOSE to get vaccinated against shingles because:
* Shingles is a nasty thing and I wanted to reduce my chances of getting it.
* While the vaccines efficacy was not 100% and it varies from person to person it is about 90% effective
* I am in a relatively high risk group (age) for getting the Shingles
* The side effects are modest and easily manageable. The vaccine itself is the product of old school well established medical science.
* There has not been a concerted propaganda effort by Public Health Agencies to demonize the Shingles virus while extolling the virtues of the vaccine to fight it.
As you can see my reasons are straight forward and not one applies to covid which is a: less dangerous virus; much less effective vaccine; more dangerous side effects and is being pushed on the public.
As an aside you can call the covid shot a "vaccine" all you want and by some definitions you would be right but when it does almost nothing to reduce your chances of getting covid, certaintly less then a 50% reduction, you really are pushing the definition of "vaccine" to it's common sense limit don't you think?
