Me: You know that your chances of catching and developing severe COVID are significantly higher if you are unvaccinated, right?
UV: I am not anti-vax; I just don't trust the current vaccines.
Me: Literally over 2B people in the world have been vaccinated, with at least 1B of them using mRNA vaccines. It has proven to be extremely safe.
UV: The long term effects of these mRNA vaccines are unknown. I am not going to inject something in my body when I don't know whether there will be long term issues with them.
Me: The AstraZeneca vaccine is developed using traditional viral vector technology that has been used in tons of other vaccines.
UV: AZ has blood clotting risks!
Me: Birth control pills have much higher blood clotting risks than the AZ vaccine.
Me: What about Johnson & Johnson? BC will have a small supply of the J&J vaccine next week. It is also developed using the traditional viral vector technology.
(What do you supposed UV will say now?)
