I have no interest in taking a vaccine for a virus with a 99.8% survival rate. However I would like to see a safe effective vaccine for this as there are vulnerable people who don't have 99.8% survival rates who would like to be inoculated against it. Anti-vaxxers are literally praying for this vaccine to fail. If you don't want it, don't take it. It's as simple as that. If the government is forcing us to take it or they are going to start requiring immunization cards to resume normal life then that is where I take issue with the vaccine.
It still sounds like you believe we have an actual health crisis. We do not.
If you are 70+, your mortality rate is elevated. And the mortality rate goes up exponentially with age. The death risk for a 90+ year old is literally 16x that of a 70-79 year old. The risk of a 70-79 year old is over 3x that of a 60-69 year old. So if old people feel that the risk of taking the vaccine is lower than the risk of the virus, than they should have that option to take it.
If you think the odds of death for a 90+ year old are still too small to warrant inoculation, that isn't your business because you're not 90+. It's up to the individual to decide.
