For me it really comes down to a choice between the virus and the vaccine; sooner or later every single one of us will by exposed. Now there’s the new Delta variant which is more contagious and deadly. I don’t trust Big Pharma either, but the best protection we have in place is government regulation. My understanding is that these vaccines have been rigorously evaluated, and we do see virus infection rates and fatalities dropping dramatically.

I’m fully vaccinated now, and I have been enjoying the confidence and life normality which comes with trusting the vaccines. Real world tests also demonstrate that Pfizer and Moderna fare better against the various variants than J & J.
