Its not anti-vaxx in the traditional sense.
Its anti-this-particular-largely-untested-"vaxx" for something most people don't need to worry about at all.
As a healthy 34 year old...I'll never be getting this vaccine...just like I never get the flu shot.
Exercise, eat clean, take care of yourself...no need to worry about covid.

The problem is there are healthy people in their 30s who die from it and we still can’t really pinpoint why exactly. I know people who fall into this category; totally healthy, completely in shape, no pre-existing conditions, and they contracted Covid and died. I also know totally healthy people who didn’t die but had extremely severe symptoms (needed to be intubated and in some cases now have lasting health issues as a result).
That’s why I got the vaccine; because we don’t really know yet why some healthy people get it so severely. If we could pinpoint that exactly (I.e. here’s the specific reason why some healthy people die from it and if that’s not you then you’re good) then maybe I wouldn’t have gotten it, but right now there’s literally no real way to know for sure that you aren’t one of those healthy young people who will somehow have a severe reaction to covid and possibly die. Although even if we did know I might still get it because there’s no real reason not to...the technology isn’t new, it’s actually been around for over 10 years and has been studied and tested extensively, we’ve just never had a need to actually deploy it since we already had vaccines for everything we needed them for...plus I’d rather not be slowly drowning from fluid filling my lungs and thinking about how if I just got the vaccine I wouldn’t be in this situation.
